You might have heard about this multi-media franchise known as Pokémon; even if you don’t play Nintendo games or know a thing about Pokémon, there is a good chance you know who Pikachu is. This episode will introduce the basics about the core series Pokémon games, what Pokémon are, breaking down controls, storylines, staples to gameplay, and more!

There's some overlap between the two, but Serebii is more technical in my experience. Check this out to also refer back to anything discussed in the episode.)
