With so much Pokémon anime to dig into, it can be tough to figure out exactly where to start. Thankfully, there aren’t any truly wrong answers, but if you’re looking for a specific season that ticks all the right boxes, you can’t do much better than Pokémon: Black and White. There are a few key reasons the 14th season is so strong, and you can discover them all for yourself now that the Pokémon: Black & White anime is available on home video!
One of the best reasons to kick off, or continue, your Pokémon anime obsession with Pokémon: Black & White comes down to all of the fresh elements introduced in season 14. Since this one has Ash heading over to the distant Unova region with his mother and Professor Oak, it means we’re all treated to a brand new land with new rivals to face, new obstacles to overcome, and of course new Pokémon to catch and team up with over the course of Ash’s journey.
The new friends and rivals in Black & White are some of the strongest and most memorable yet, especially those Ash meets right from the start. Iris is an aspiring Dragon Master, while Cilan is a true Pokémon connoisseur and Striaton City Gym Leader. Ash also faces more ups and downs than ever when it comes to high-stakes battles, taking time in between to train some of his new Pokémon so they can learn special moves and grow to rise further in the competitive ranks.
The Pokémon Black & White games have one of the most celebrated lineups of Pokémon in the history of the series, and that appeal carries over to the anime adaptation. Featuring direction by Kunihiko Yuyama—a veteran of the industry who has an absolutely mind-blowing number of Pokémon projects to his name, as well as directing anime such as the Ushio & Tora OVA, Goshogun, and many more—this is one you’ll want to add to your collection. You can do so today with VIZ Media’s release of Pokémon: Black & White: The Complete Season 14!
