The official video from Pokémon‘s official anime account also had a message thanking fans for their sticking with it for so long.
The first episode of the Pokémon anime debuted 25 years ago today and, to celebrate, the official anime Twitter account thanked fans for two and a half decades of support and released a special video.
The new video is mostly filled with a variety of clips from the past anime entries in the Pokémon series, including clips from the very first season of the anime all the way up to its latest iteration, Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series.
Debuting on April 1, 1997, the Pokémon anime has gone on to become one of the biggest anime shows in the history of television, with its success internationally acting as a large reason for the growth of anime outside of Japan.
