We all know the manga kind of fell off after gen 5, it’s still good but nothing like it used to be. If I were to rank all the arcs after gen 5 i’d say
5. Scarlet & Violet
4. X & Y
3. Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
2. Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

1. Sword & Shield (i’m biased cos i’m english)

I’d like to know what other people’s opinions is on this, and try and defend the Scarlet & Violet and X & Y, cos I want to like them more

This is a follow up to another post because there are around 200 filler episodes in the series, and I’m aware many people want to skip them when watching. This is supposed to act as a difinitve guide to watch the pokémon anime in order, in this version without filler. I’ve defined my own opinion of what each arc in the anime is because opinions about arcs are generally pretty subjective in this fandom, so you don’t have to agree. But i’d be interested to know if there’s anything canon that i’ve missed in this list

This is the guide I used to filter filler: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/217-pokemon/81007602. The episode order and seasons given in the guide is sometimes incorrect compared to the actual episode order, luckily it gave the episode titles aswell for me to cross-compare them. In this guide ‘A Conspiracy to Conquer’ and ‘Facing a Grand Design’ are incorrectly considered filler, so I have not removed them from this list. If you find any filler persists in this new list, or that I’ve accidentally not included non-filler episodes, please tell me which episodes and I’ll update it best I can

To clarify, Sub and Dub are identical in these watch orders, episodes have changed order due to them being misaired, some specials have been compiled or separated in the dub, but both versions are exactly the same, the dub includes subbed episodes when said episodes were never dubbed. This guide has no filler, if you want a guide with filler episodes as well, there is another post on my profile you can look at.

Pokémon anime watching order
I’ve attempted to create a definitive watch order for everything in the Pokémon Anime canon, and defined my own opinion of what each arc in the anime is because opinions about arcs are generally pretty subjective in this fandom, so you don’t have to agree. But i’d be interested to know if there’s anything canon that i’ve missed in this list

Are there any plot holes in this series? I’ve just caught up with the entire manga and I don’t think there were any plot holes at all, which is really impressive for a 30 year running series. But i’m sure there must be some stuff I missed, so can someone please ruin it for me
