Pokémon Journeys: The Series (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Pocket Monsters) is the seventh series of the Pokémon anime. This anime series is based on the events of all the core series games, including the Generation VIII games Pokémon Sword and Shield. It follows Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan, though the first episode was shown at a special screening two days earlier. The first four episodes premiered in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2020 as a sneak peek. The series is set to premiere on June 12, 2020 in the United States.

The series features "double protagonists" Ash Ketchum and Goh, along with their partners Pikachu and Raboot. Ash and Goh travel around the world, specifically all regions that have appeared in the core series (from Kanto to Galar), and meet Pokémon from each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a Pokémon Master by entering the World Coronation Series, with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, Leon. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with Mew when he was six, dreams of one day catching the Mythical Pokémon, and he is currently filling his Pokédex in the hopes that it will get him closer to his dream. The series also features a young girl named Chloe, who has a Yamper, and her father Professor Cerise, who runs the Cerise Laboratory in Vermilion City.

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger than in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.

Episodes in Pokémon Journeys: The Series are numbered with the prefix JN on Bulbapedia. For a complete episode listing, see the list of Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes.

Trivia

  • The Japanese name for this series retrieves its original title: Pocket Monsters.
  • The design of the Japanese logo of the series is shared with M20 and M21, which are not canon with the main series.
    • This also makes it the first series logo to not have any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
  • In the US version of the dub, an epilepsy warning is added to the beginning of each episode for the first time ever. Japan has been broadcasting epilepsy warnings since EP038. The warning reads "Some scenes have a strobing effect that may affect photosensitive viewers".
  • This is the only series:
    • To be set in more than two game-original regions.
    • In which Ash wears shorts instead of long pants in his standard outfit.
    • In which the first Pokémon Ash caught was not introduced in the current generation.
    • In which the first Pokémon Ash caught was fully-evolved.
    • Other than the original to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    • In which Ash does not have a female traveling companion.
