Pokémon (Animated Series)
Ash Ketchum's journey to be the very best became a national obsession when the 4Kids English dub hit US syndication in 1998 and moved to Kids' WB in 1999. Pokémon wasn't just a show — it was your Saturday morning, your lunch-table trading-card argument, and one organism with the Game Boy games on every playground in America. Team Rocket blasting off again was the ritual you tuned in for, every single week.
