When to Watch the Pokemon Movies

The Pokemon films do run concurrent to the series' but as side stories mostly. Still there are better times to watch these than others. The preferred method used by many is to watch a film after the latest episode that aired in Japan before the films theatrical release. In Japan Pokemon doesn't air on TV when each film is released theatrically.

i dont understand how to watch the movies cause its not showing me anything related to watching the movie

I have to disagree with Pokemon Movie 13: Zoroak-Mast of Illusions, it would be better to watch it after For the Love of Meowth.

all list I looked up look like this movie in the middle of the season.. so i decided to watch the movie after the season. make more sense to me.
