'''Pokémon Generations''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンジェネレーションズ''' ''Pokémon Generations'') is an animated miniseries that showcases some moments from the first six [[generation]]s of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It consists of 18 episodes, each approximately 3-5 minutes in length.


In English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch, they premiere on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s {{wp|YouTube}} channels (for each language) weekly between September 16 and December 23, 2016. The first two episodes were re-uploaded on The Pokémon Company International's YouTube channels (for each language) in HD on December 14, 2016 (the original uploads were not taken down, but were replaced in the Pokémon Generations playlist).

The first two episodes were re-uploaded on The Pokémon Company International's YouTube channels (for each language) in HD on December 14, 2016 (the original uploads were not taken down, but were replaced in the Pokémon Generations playlist). The series was later released in Brazilian Portuguese on The Pokémon Company International's Portuguese YouTube channel starting on February 10, 2017. The last episode of the series was uploaded on July 20, 2017. In November 2017, some episodes of Pokémon Generations aired alongside some theatrical releases of ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]'', and more in November 2018 with ''[[M21|Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us]]''.


In Japanese, the first six episodes were uploaded to the [[The Pokémon Company]]'s YouTube channel on December 9, 2016. The seventh through ninth episodes were uploaded on December 16, 2016. The tenth through twelfth episodes were uploaded on December 22, 2016.
In the Korean language, the first three episodes were uploaded on July 25, 2018. Three videos were uploaded every Wednesday until August 29, 2018. Some of the episode numbers were changed; episode 10 was released as episode 12 in Korean, and episodes 11 and 12 were released as episodes 10 and 11. However, by the end of February 2020, they no longer could be seen on any platform, presumably due to licensing issues. <!--On September 1, 2020, they were unofficially reuploaded onto Dailymotion and Google Drive, save for the first episode due to its lack of spoken dialogue.-->

Although the mini-series is more faithful to the games than the main anime, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.

Pokémon Generations (Japanese: ポケモンジェネレーションズ Pokémon Generations) is an animated miniseries that showcases some moments from the first six generations of the core series Pokémon games. It consists of 18 episodes, each approximately 3-5 minutes in length.

In the English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch languages, they premiered on The Pokémon Company International's YouTube channels (for each language) weekly between September 16 and December 23, 2016. The first two episodes were re-uploaded on The Pokémon Company International's YouTube channels (for each language) in HD on December 14, 2016 (the original uploads were not taken down, but were replaced in the Pokémon Generations playlist). The series was later released in Brazilian Portuguese on The Pokémon Company International's Portuguese YouTube channel starting on February 10, 2017. The last episode of the series was uploaded on July 20, 2017. In November 2017, some episodes of Pokémon Generations aired alongside some theatrical releases of Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, and more in November 2018 with Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us.

In the Korean language, the first three episodes were uploaded on July 25, 2018. Three videos were uploaded every Wednesday until August 29, 2018. Some of the episode numbers were changed; episode 10 was released as episode 12 in Korean, and episodes 11 and 12 were released as episodes 10 and 11. However, by the end of February 2020, they no longer could be seen on any platform, presumably due to licensing issues.

In the Japanese language, the first six episodes were uploaded to The Pokémon Company's YouTube channel on December 9, 2016. The seventh through ninth episodes were uploaded on December 16, 2016. The tenth through 12th episodes were uploaded on December 22, 2016. The 13th through 15th episodes were uploaded on January 26, 2017. The final three episodes were uploaded on February 2, 2017.

Differences from the games

Although the miniseries is more faithful to the games than the main series, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.

  • Looker, who originally did not debut until Pokémon Platinum, has his role extended in this series.
  • Lance's role in the Lake of Rage incident is expanded, unlike in the games, where the narrative focuses on the player.
  • In the games, Lance and Ethan battle the wild Electrode powering the generator, causing them to faint or capture them. In The Lake of Rage, they instead release them.
    • Also, there are twelve Electrode powering the generator as opposed to only six in the games.
  • Petrel shows up in the generator room instead of Ariana like in the games.
  • Unlike in the games, neither the player nor Maxie stops Archie in The Cavern.
  • Unlike in the games, the player does not arrive at the Spear Pillar to stop Cyrus in The New World.
  • After Giratina drags Cyrus into the Distortion World, it doesn't leave a portal behind like in the games.
  • Looker does not arrest Charon at Stark Mountain. Instead, Charon escapes with help from two Team Galactic Grunts.
  • Iris is present when N's Castle is summoned instead of the player character, and it is summoned by the Seven Sages instead of N. The subsequent confrontation between the Unova Gym Leaders and the Seven Sages takes place outside the castle instead of inside, and an army of Team Plasma Grunts participates in the battle.
    • The Seven Sages mention Ghetsis' glorious plan even though in the games N was the king and Ghetsis had not revealed himself as the true boss of Team Plasma at that point.
  • The Shadow Triad is not present for Team Plasma's attack on Opelucid City to capture the DNA Splicers. Instead, the attack is led by Zinzolin and carried out by many Team Plasma Grunts.
  • Unlike in the games, Ghetsis fuses Kyurem with N's Reshiram without the player character present, and when the player character does arrive, it is Hilbert with his Zekrom, instead of Nate or Rosa.
  • The player character is not present for Lysandre and Diantha's conversation in Café Soleil.
  • Looker pursues Essentia through the streets of Lumiose City himself, and unmasks her in an empty café instead of in the lower levels of Lysandre Labs beneath Lysandre Café. Additionally, unlike the games, Xerosic is not present for her unmasking and his role in these events is only vaguely hinted at.
  • Serena, Shauna, Tierno, Trevor, Sina, and Dexio are not present for the parade in Lumiose City. Instead, Diantha attends the celebration.
  • AZ's story is presented as a fairytale told by a mother to her daughter instead of as AZ's own recollections.
