We quote it from "https://dora-world.com/tv_anime"

Doraemon

This work centers around the slightly mysterious and adventurous lives of Doraemon, a cat robot who came from the 22nd century, and Nobita Nobi, a kid who is neither good at studying nor sports.
Basically, each episode is its own story, and almost all episodes are about the following theme: Doraemon pulls out a futuristic item (items that can not be realized with our current technology) from its pouch in order to save Nobita from the awful situations that he finds himself in, but he then continues to use the item inappropriately and for selfish reasons, at which time they find themselves in even bigger trouble.
You will surely become intrigued by every item that Doraemon pulls out.
