Are the OVAs any good?
How many are there? Origins, Generations, what else?
>>
Evolutions, another series on youtube
>Are good?
Yeah, they're nice to watch if you're interested in the characters or stories, the problem is that there's too few of these series, it shows you how good Pokémon stories could have been if anime
>>

Just watch them and see. They’re not that long
>>
Generations and Evolutions episodes are 5 minutes each, so you really can just binge them. Quality is a bit of whiplash, some of them just adapt events from the game and end as soon as they begin, the more interesting ones ironically tend to focus on minor characters. Some of them are comparatively more serious and dramatically framed compared to the weekly TV show, that's nice. Origins is four TV-length episodes, so also a quick watch, but four episodes just isn't quite enough for Kanto. Galar got Twilight Wings and Paldea Paldean Winds, which I haven't watched yet myself. Going back 20+ years Mewtwo Returns is neat if you liked the first movie enough to bother, and Mastermind of the Mirage Pokemon, existed.

Yes better than anything from the Ashime/Horizons

>Are the OVAs any good?
Yes, they're what the anime always should have been.

>>58841002
They're mixed depending on the series, but better than the TV anime and movies on average. Generations and Evolutions are quite possibly the best Pokémon anime and a must watch for fans of the games.

Would Recommend
>Generations and Evolutions - Game scene adaptations
>Origins - Red and Green adaptation
>Twilight Wings, Hisuian Snow, and Paldean Winds - Based on SWSH, PLA, and SV respectively
>POKÉTOON - Self-contained shorts
>Concierge - Comfy stop-motion series
>The Untold Story of Pecharunt - Backstory that should've been in SV
Alright
>The Two Professors - GO x LGPE introducing Meltan
>Mystery Dungeon - First two adapt their games' intros, EoS adapts a spoilery point within its game's climax
>Bidoof's Big Stand - Bidoof's HM journey
>Detective Pikachu & the Mystery of the Missing Flan - Better than Detective Pikachu Returns
>Dragonite and the Special Delivery - Pokémon Day 2025 short
Pretty Cute

There's likely more if you count some trailers and promotional videos, but these are what's listed for limited series and specials in Bulbapedia's Pokémon animation article.

For OVAs relating to the TV series, they're alright. The Pikachu shorts are cute and the rest are decent enough to be better than your typical episode, but skip the dub of Chronicles and watch it subbed instead.
