'''''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]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}<!--Do NOT add that it is based off Pokémon GO. The only connection is a character named Goh. The catching every Pokémon aspect isn't even something that is exclusive to Pokémon GO.-->. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered between November 17, 2019 and March 24, 2023 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and between June 12, 2020 and September 8, 2023 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in 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, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], 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, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>
