What does Google say about SEO? /

Official statement

If pagination uses JavaScript to dynamically load content without changing the URL or using real links (anchor tags), crawlers won't be able to follow these links to the next pages. Crawlers need actual HTML anchors to discover and crawl paginated pages.
