However, Toonami Jetstream was removed from the internet shortly after the Toonami television block was removed, so it is unknown if Zoids: Genesis will ever get a North American release, online or otherwise. It has been shown, however, on several markets outside the United States.Generations ago on planet Zi at the height of human development, Zoids were used in an epic battle that eventually led to the destruction of the world. So devastated was the world that the planet was barely habitable for humanity and nature. The catastrophe was named "Gods' Fury" and was considered a supernatural event by locals who believed the world was punished because of humanity's foolishness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Using one of their most powerful and largest Zoids, the surviving people of this conflict rode on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gildragon&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Gildragon (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; color: rgb(204, 34, 0); background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Gildragons&lt;/a&gt; for safety and shelter. While one group returned to the earth and founded IronRock City, another group built a floating city in the sky called Sora City. The people there rebuilt their society and eventually began researching ways to restore the planet. After many years of research, they planned to use their bio-mechanical technology to restore the world in order to re-inhabit the land their ancestors almost destroyed; as they lived in their city they succumbed to hubris and no longer desired to return.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;The technology they researched on was implemented on the planet, which gave birth to what the surviving locals refer as generators. It has unique capabilities to maintain energy and growth for machinery and life in the surrounding area. Eventually, Sora City would encounter energy depletion and scouted planet Zi with their own agents. As other agents monitored the growth and progress of the humans that survived "Gods' Fury," others approached people to make deals. The council of Sora City picked a city called Digu and traded off advanced technology for Reggel (universal energy resource, like oil). Their arrangement not only involved treaties, but also sending a Sora Sky citizen to be adopted as part of the agreement. The King of Digu would accept Jiin as his son, and since then Digu researched and developed their own technologies to form their own army, Digald. Eventually Digald would mass produce their own Zoids with the aid of technology provided by Iron Rock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;The Bio Zoids were massed produced in rapid numbers and gradually started conquering neighboring villages, towns, and cities which had generators to help produce more energy for Digald's energy consumption. They used special stones that could detect a human's ability to pilot a Bio Zoid and drafted them into Digald forces, never to see their friends and family again. Though known and feared throughout the continent, people couldn't do much to defend themselves as their Zoids were no match against the Bio Zoids and they couldn't survive without having a generator. People either surrendered or were destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;The story of &lt;i&gt;Zoids Genesis&lt;/i&gt; actually begins here as Ra-Kan roams the world with Mii after his kingdom has fallen to Digald. Though his kingdom Kira had fallen, Kira's survivors rebuilt a new city called Zuuri in a new secret location far from Digald's influence. Young Ruuji Familon is working with his father to help recover Zoids from the bottom of the ocean in their village Miroodo. While Mii and Ra-Kan was within the local area, so was Major Zairin. Zairin would discover that Miroodo had a small generator for Digald forces to claim. His troops arrived early and attacked Miroodo. Ruuji could never activate a Zoid, but the situation was dire and he jumped into Mursasame Liger. This Zoid answered to Ruuji's call and activated to aid him against the Bio Raptors attacking his village.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Ra-Kan and Mii joined Ruuji in their fight against Digald. Eventually a battle between Zairin and Ruuji lead to the accidental damage to Miroodo's generator. With the generator damaged, this led to the fear of Miroodo's destruction. Ra-Kan agreed to aid Ruuji in finding a generator mechanic. This quest for finding a generator repairman would lead Ruuji to befriend Kotona, Garaga, Ron, then Seijuurou-san. Through their adventures, Ruuji was unable to find a person capable of repairing the generator. His journey made him realize even if the generator could be fixed, Digald's expansion will eventually rule everything including Miroodo. Ruuji suggested to Ra-Kan to fight against Digald and eventually Ra-Kan agreed that Digald's expansion couldn't continue. With the resources and forces of Zuuri, Ra-Kan began organizing an offense. They invited many resistance groups to their cause, but only a few had interest in joining them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;With the eventual successes of the Digald Suppression Army, their reputation garnered the attention of many and eventually their forces grew in numbers. Meanwhile, Jiin's power and influence grew. After the death of the King of Digu, Jiin declared himself Emperor and eventually a God to Digald. His new policies were not only more &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draconian" title="Draconian" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;draconian&lt;/a&gt;, but it alienated many of the officers under Jiin. However, it's not a big issue to Jiin, since he's able to extract human souls into the bodies of Bio Zoid pilot droids. He tripled his army without the need for human pilots. Jiin eventually betrayed his own people and launched Bio Raptor Guis on an aerial assault against Sora City. With Sora City destroyed, there was no real power left to oppose him, except for the Suppression Army which he considered as a mere nuisance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;After discovering that Digald droid pilots were extracted human souls, many defected to the Digald Suppression Army. Ruuji felt their anti-Digald army title was no longer appropriate, and renamed themselves the Jiin Suppression Army. A large final battle was waged against Jiin in his Bio Tyranno. After a very difficult fight, Ruuji destroyed Jiin with Mugen Liger and ended the conflict to restore peace to the lands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em;

The original series, titled &lt;i&gt;Pocket Monsters&lt;/i&gt;, or simply Pokémon in western countries (often referred to as &lt;i&gt;Pokémon: Gotta Catch 'Em All&lt;/i&gt; to distinguish it from the later series), begins with Ash's first day as a Pokémon trainer. His first (and signature) Pokémon is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikachu" title="Pikachu"&gt;Pikachu&lt;/a&gt;, differing from the games, where only &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbasaur" title="Bulbasaur" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Bulbasaur&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_%281-20%29#Charmander" title="List of Pokémon (1-20)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Charmander&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_%281-20%29#Squirtle" title="List of Pokémon (1-20)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Squirtle&lt;/a&gt; could be chosen.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokemon#cite_note-16"&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;17&lt;span&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The series follows the storyline of the original games, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue" title="Pokémon Red and Blue"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pokémon Red&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Blue&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, in the region of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanto_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29" title="Kanto (Pokémon)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Kanto&lt;/a&gt;. Accompanying Ash on his journeys are &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29" title="Brock (Pokémon)"&gt;Brock&lt;/a&gt;, the Pewter City Gym Leader, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misty_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29" title="Misty (Pokémon)"&gt;Misty&lt;/a&gt;, the youngest of the Gym Leader sisters from Cerulean City. &lt;i&gt;Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands&lt;/i&gt; follows Ash's adventures in the Orange Islands, a place unique to the anime, and replaces Brock with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_characters_in_the_Pok%C3%A9mon_anime_series#Tracey_Sketchit" title="List of characters in the Pokémon anime series"&gt;Tracey Sketchit&lt;/a&gt;, an artist and "Pokémon watcher".

The saga continues in &lt;i&gt;Pokémon: Advanced Battle&lt;/i&gt;, based on the third generation games. Ash and company travel to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoenn" title="Hoenn" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Hoenn&lt;/a&gt;, a southern region in the Pokémon World.

Brock (from the original series) soon catches up with Ash, but Misty has returned to Cerulean City to tend to her duties as a gym leader (Misty, along with other recurring characters, appears in the spin-off series &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Chronicles" title="Pokémon Chronicles"&gt;Pokémon Chronicles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PokemonDPlogo.PNG" class="internal" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt; The Japanese Logo for the current series, Diamond &amp;amp; Pearl&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Advanced Battle series concludes with the &lt;i&gt;Battle Frontier&lt;/i&gt; saga, based on the &lt;i&gt;Emerald&lt;/i&gt; version and including aspects of &lt;i&gt;FireRed&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;LeafGreen&lt;/i&gt;. The most recent series is the &lt;i&gt;Diamond and Pearl&lt;/i&gt; series, with Max leaving to pick his starter Pokémon, and May going to the Grand Festival in Johto.
