# Pokémon Watch Order Also known as: Pocket Monsters, Pokemon Source: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/pokemon Last updated: 2026-09-16 Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 66 entries in chronological viewing order. The Pokémon watch order threads decades of TV episodes together with more than twenty theatrical movies, all arranged in correct release sequence. Start with Episodes 1-69 of the original series, then break for the first film, Mew vs. Mewtwo, before continuing. From there the pattern holds across every generation: episode blocks are split so each movie lands at its proper point — Pokemon 2000 after Episode 82, Spell of the Unknown during the Johto run, then Pokemon Heroes, Destiny Deoxys, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and later films like Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction and Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel slotting between their surrounding episodes. Because the series restarts episode numbering with every new saga, this list flattens all of it into one chronological path. Newcomers chasing the main journey can watch the episode blocks straight through and treat the movies as optional; completionists should follow the full order exactly as listed, ending on the most recent still-airing block. ## The order 1.
