Do you download directly into the folders which were added to Plex libraries?  
If you do: don’t.

To fix this, I recommend the following:

1. edit your tv shows library (you _are_ trying to add this series to a Plex library of the type “TV Shows”, right?)  
Go to the “Advanced” tab and ensure that the checkbox “Prefer local meta tags” is empty.
2. perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) with the whole series.

Additionally, I looked up Pokèmon (1997) on the relevant sources and the title of episode s01e01 is “Pokémon - I Choose You!”, and not “The Departure”.  
So I’m wondering which series you actually have there.
