Pokémon

Pokémon follows Satoshi, a boy who turns ten and sets out to become a Pokémon Trainer—and one day a Pokémon Master—in a world where people capture, raise, and battle alongside mysterious creatures with countless forms and abilities. When the usual starter Pokémon are already taken, he’s paired with Pikachu, a stubborn Electric-type who doesn’t make things easy at first. Their rocky beginning quickly grows into a close bond that launches Satoshi’s journey.

Traveling through wide-ranging regions, Satoshi and Pikachu are joined by Kasumi, a Water-type trainer, and Takeshi, a Rock-type trainer. As Satoshi works toward earning eight Gym Badges to qualify for the Pokémon League, trouble regularly finds the group in the form of Team Rocket, whose schemes to steal strong Pokémon keep forcing them into unexpected battles and narrow escapes.
