PIKA-PI!
I don’t think there’s any topping thewholesome goodnessof Twitch’sThe Joy of Paintingmarathon, but a massive livestream ofPokémonmovies and TV seasons sure sounds like a fun shared experience.
ThePokémonmarathon kicks off as you’d probably hope and expect: with the first season,Pokémon: Indigo League. That’ll air on Monday, August 27 at 10:00am Pacific on theTwitchPresents channel. (There will be dubs. Click here forFrench,German,Spanish,Italian, andBrazilian Portuguese.)
Just looking overepisode names and thumbnailsfor season one, I’m filled with fond memories of watching and rewatching this show endlessly as a kid. I had the cassette tape and everything.
Twitch’sPokémonmarathon is really multiple marathons rather than a nonstop franchise-wide stream, so we’ll have time to get outside and enjoy the smoke-filled air. The site plans to stream 19 seasons and 16 movies in total, but they’ll be split up. Episodes air every Monday through Thursday, reruns fill Friday and Saturday, and movies will debut on Sundays at 10:00am Pacific. Here’s the list:

Movies
There’s also an interactive element beyond the usual chat spamming. With the Pokémon Badge Collectorextension, you’ll be able to collect Pokémon for leaderboard points and glory.
I have to show up forThe First Movie. I distinctly remember rushing to the theater for that one.
