Pokémon: Advanced Challenge is the seventh season of the English-dubbed Pokémon TV series. It is comprised of episodes 41-92 of the Advanced Generation series. This season showcases the adventures of Ash, May, Brock and Max in the Hoenn region, from the outskirts of Mauville City up to past Lilycove City.
It originally aired as part of the 2004-2005 Kids' WB! Saturday morning line-up. The season began with What you Seed is What You Get, which originally aired on September 11, 2004, and ended with Judgement Day, which originally aired on September 10, 2005.
It is preceded by Pokémon Advanced and followed by Pokémon: Advanced Battle. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan. As the anime is nearly constantly produced there, viewers do not differentiate Advanced Challenge from any other season of the Advanced Generation series.
This season, Bella Hudson takes over the role of Nurse Joy from Megan Hollingshead, who left after the previous season. Additionally, original voice actress Tara Jayne leaves the series after providing the voice of Princess Sara. Jamie Davyous Owens joins the cast providing the voice of Officer Jenny from Megan Hollingshead.
