The Pokémon Company has made the first episode of Pokémon Journeys: The Series available on Pokémon TV and the official Pokémon YouTube channel in select regions. This is the 23rd season of the iconic animation.
This premiere ep is titled "Enter Pikachu!" and is a flashback of Ash as a young boy. In this episode, he sleeps in late and misses Prof Oak's Pokémon Camp. His eventual partner Pokémon, Pikachu, is also yet to evolve (it's still a Pichu). Here's the full description:
The episode follows Pichu as it befriends a group of Kangaskhan. Meanwhile, Ash is missing out on Pokémon Camp, but two youngsters named Goh and Chloe are in attendance. The pair get separated from the group and have an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Mew. This sets the stage for the rest of Pokémon Journeys: The Series, when Ash and Goh eventually meet and set off together on their shared quest to explore the world of Pokémon.

The video is unavailable in my country Indonesia.
Looks awful, bad animation.
I wished they change the kiddish look and return to the more mature look for Ash.
In before anyone else, at least it looks better than the Pokemon sword and shield games.
Watching Pokemon anime dubbed?
Where they replace all of the original music with a load of rubbish? Yeah no thanks.
Switched to watching it subbed ever since they started doing that years back.

Define “bad animation”
@Madder128 Uh... no, no it’s not. It’s great animation. Maybe you’re not familiar with ‘anime’? The episode is bad though. As it’a a flashback, it mostly just tells us info we already know. I want to see the rest though... I’m looking into it.
why not I see it just for you to know I live in canada so maybethat
Warning: episode 1 is emotional
The very first episode from 1996 looks better than the modern show.
I was hoping for Ash will meet Pikachu when he was a Pichu; and another thing, Goh is so rude being a know it all.
@AshKetchumPikach That would really break the original. Ash never met his Pikachu as a Pichu.
@sanderev but he did meet a pichu before pichu which was just a smaller pikachu
I just thought, that if Ash met Pikachu when he was a Pichu, that meant that Ash was destined for both he and Pikachu to becoming the very best of friends that they are now.
@EliteXeos Yeah all in a sad attempt to "cut costs" AKA their too greedy to pay a little extra for the original soundtrack.
@Timmytron
Yep, truly sad. What a half-baked dub.

Take off your nostalgia goggles.
