Now, Pokémon Generations, a new animated series exploring the deeper lore of the original games, is coming to YouTube starting September 16th.
Pokémon Generations looks back at each generation of the Pokémon video game series, diving into the stories of the games more deeply and getting to know characters and Pokémon better.
Generations, by contrast, will focus on retelling story-events from the actual Pokémon games and put a greater emphasis on action following the in-game mechanics.
Not bad for a onetime niche “bug”-collecting game that Nintendo initially doubted would find fans outside of its native Japan.
