'''''Pokémon the Series: XY''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{ruby|ＸＹ|エックスワイ}}''' ''Pocket Monsters XY'') is the fifth [[series]] of the [[Pokémon animated series]] in Asia (including Japan) and the sixth series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in the West. The series is based on the events of the [[Generation VI]] [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It follows {{aniseries|BW}} and was succeeded by {{aniseries|SM}}. It ran from October 17, 2013 to November 10, 2016 in Japan and from January 18, 2014 to January 28, 2017 in {{pmin|the United States}}, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek in the United States on October 19, 2013.

As with the previous series, ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' follows the adventures of [[Ash Ketchum]], who heads to the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}} intending to challenge the [[Kalos League]]. Joining him this time are {{an|Serena}}, a new Trainer who previously met Ash in her childhood; {{an|Clemont}}, an aspiring inventor and scientist, who is also the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Lumiose Gym]]; and {{an|Bonnie}}, Clemont's younger sister. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} continue to follow Ash and his friends through the Kalos region, and have gone back to their more traditional methods of capturing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and other Pokémon, although their appearances are less frequent, just like in {{aniseries|BW}}. [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], absent for practically the entirety of ''Black & White'', returns to her roster.

This series also features the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], a series of special episodes following the adventures of a Trainer named [[Alain]], who is working to find [[Mega Stone]]s and defeat all [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon using his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X. In the ''XY&Z'' season, Ash and his friends' journey continues as their story merges with the plot of the Mega Evolution Specials, with the group becoming involved with the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zygarde}} and the [[Villainous team|villainous organization]] [[Team Flare]].

A new art style was instituted at the beginning of the series. A notable difference is that the stock "effect" backgrounds have been almost entirely removed (only appearing when a main character catches a Pokémon, whenever Ash or Serena earn a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] or {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}, respectively, and when {{TRT}} recites their {{motto}}). Also, the character models (as seen in the artworks) are slightly taller and leaner in comparison to the previous four series. In addition, much like the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation III]] onwards, a [[a:Category:Anime versus screens|''VS.'' player overview screen]] appears before starting some battles and {{pkmn|Showcase}} rounds. Similar to ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Ash receives a physical redesign, now having softer and slightly smaller birthmarks on his cheeks, his hair covers the top of his ears and is spikier, and he has more locks on his forehead.

Episodes in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' are numbered with {{bp|epicode|the prefix}} '''XY''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|list of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' episodes]].

==Blurb==
It’s time for Ash and Pikachu to set off on their adventures in the Kalos region! Along the way, they’re joined by some new friends—a genius inventor named Clemont, his little sister Bonnie, and Serena, a Trainer on her first journey. Ash immediately tries to challenge the Gym in Lumiose City, but doesn’t get very far before a robot throws him out! In between Gym battles, Ash and friends will be exploring this unique region, meeting all kinds of new Pokémon, and looking into a fascinating new Pokémon mystery!

==Arcs and seasons==
''Pokémon the Series: XY'' has been divided into multiple arcs in the Japanese release, similar to the "chapters" of the [[original series]] and {{aniseries|BW}}.

Unlike what was previously done, when ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' came to be dubbed into English and other languages, it was localized as a whole. While it is still divided into three seasons, they share a common title.

The following table summarizes the Japanese titles, the English titles, and the [[List of Japanese opening themes|Japanese]] and [[List of English opening themes|English opening themes]] used during the series.

==Trivia==
[[File:XY Series Conclusion Art.png|thumb|250px|Aito's art for the conclusion of ''XY'']]
* Aito Ohashi, one of the animators for ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', drew art to commemorate the [[series]]' conclusion.
* This is the only series of {{aniseries|PTS}} in which:
** Ash has two female [[Ash's friends|long-term traveling companions]] at once.
** Ash does not use any {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
** {{AP|Pikachu}} does not do any imitations of [[human]]s or Pokémon.
** The [[first partner Pokémon]] obtained by Ash and his friends all come directly from the [[region]]'s major [[Pokémon Professor]].
** Ash travels to a new [[region]] with a character he met in the previous series: he traveled to [[Kalos]] with [[Alexa]].
** No theme song from a previous series return in the form of an insert song.
** Ash keeps three Pokémon of the same [[type]] in his team at one time, with three {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Ash releases a first partner Pokémon into the wild.
** None of Ash's Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] appear, nor have they been mentioned.
** None of Ash's former traveling companions appear in the main series, nor are any of them mentioned.
*** {{an|Cilan}} does appear in the special episode [[XYS06]], but not in the series proper.
*** [[Dawn's Piplup]] is mentioned by Ash in the episode ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', but he does not make any reference to {{an|Dawn}} herself.
** {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} do not appear in any form, including flashbacks and photos.
** {{an|Professor Oak}} does not meet Ash's {{ashfr|traveling companions}} in-person.
** There are no flashbacks to the [[original series]], or any other previous series. 
** There are neither [[Banned episodes|unaired nor undubbed normal episodes]].
*** XYS06 is the only episode of the series to be skipped in the English dub, and it was a special.
** One of Ash's traveling companions permanently changes their appearance in the middle of the series.
*** One of the traveling companions permanently changes their hairstyle.
* This is the first series in which:
** [[James]] does not use any Grass-type Pokémon.
** Ash's party does not include the combination of a Grass-type, a Fire-type, and a Water-type.
** Ash does not leave any of the Pokémon in his party at Professor Oak's Laboratory at any point, even temporarily.
** Ash fully [[Evolution|evolves]] all of the Pokémon he {{pkmn2|caught}}.
** Ash does not [[Cross-dressing|cross-dress]]. Instead, {{an|Serena}} cross-dresses [[XY115|once]].
** Ash's female long-term traveling companion from the previous series does not appear (among series that have a previous one).
** {{Gary}} or {{Tracey}} do not appear in any form, including flashbacks.
** The characters are consistently drawn with fingernails.
** The [[Magikarp salesman]] does not appear.
** Ash reaches the finals of a [[Pokémon League Conference]].
** Professor Oak does not meet the concurrent generation's Pokémon Professor.
** One of Ash's traveling companions temporarily leaves the group in the middle of a regional {{pkmn|journey}}.
** The final episode did not end with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
* This is the first series since the original in which:
** Ash has lost against two different Gym battles in the same region.
** Ash has [[released Pokémon]].
** Ash's last Pokémon League Conference battle does not end with {{AP|Pikachu}} as his last remaining Pokémon.
* ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' shares a number of similarities with {{aniseries|RS}}:
** Ash does not own the region's {{type|Fire}} first partner Pokémon.
** Ash is traveling with three companions instead of two.
** Two of the traveling companions are siblings, with one of them being too young to have Pokémon of their own.
*** Both sets of siblings are related to the fifth [[Gym Leader]] of their respective region, and both older siblings tried to hide this fact at first.
**** This [[Gym]] is also the first one that Ash attempts to challenge in the region.
*** One of said siblings is a brother wearing glasses.
** Ash receives only one first partner Pokémon in the region and fully evolves it.
** The main heroine of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', Serena, shares some similarities to the main heroine of ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', {{an|May}}. Both of them:
*** Do not have a specific goal in mind in the beginning of their journey, but later become inspired to pursue a career that focuses more on displaying a Pokémon's style rather than its power: May aims to become a [[Top Coordinator]], and Serena aims to become {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}.
*** Were expected to pursue the same career as one of their parents: May was expected to become a Gym Leader like [[Norman|her father]], and Serena was expected to become a Rhyhorn racer like {{kal|Grace|her mother}}.
*** Begin their journeys for unorthodox reasons: May to travel, and Serena to reunite with Ash.
*** Start with the region's {{type|Fire}} first partner Pokémon: May starts with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Serena starts with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}. Both of their first partner Pokémon eventually fully evolve.
*** Obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, which later evolves into an [[Eeveelution]] native to the region they are currently in at the time of the Evolution.
*** Had one last battle against Ash before departing.
*** Travel to a region that Ash has previously traveled through at the end of the series, in order to participate in [[Pokémon Contest]]s alone.
*** Did not own any [[Obedience|disobedient]] Pokémon, unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Iris}}.
*** Did not own any [[walking Pokémon]], unlike any of the other female main characters that can own Pokémon.
** The three older main characters have one first partner Pokémon each.
** At least one Gym features [[Double Battle]]s.
*** Both these Gyms specialized in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as well as being the seventh Gym Ash challenged in the respective regions.
** Both League Conferences started on the 125th episode and ended on the 131st episode of their respective series.
*** Ash uses only his current [[party]] Pokémon in the tournament instead of using any of his Pokémon from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. In addition, he uses exactly six Pokémon.
** [[Jessie]]'s Pokémon evolves but James's Pokémon, which is also capable of Evolution, does not.
** Ash's main outfit debuts in the previous series.
* This is the shortest completed series of the {{pkmn|animated series}} with 140 episodes, not counting special episodes.
* The English dub of episodes from ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'' to ''[[XY029|Heroes - Friends and Faux Alike!]]'' were first aired in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}} before {{pmin|the United States}} (except the postponed episode ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'').
* The English dub of episodes from ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'' were first aired in {{pmin|Canada}} before the United States.
* The English dub of the episodes ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]'' and ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'' were first aired in {{pmin|Australia}} before the United States.
* In the Japanese version, the focus character in the [[title card]] segment changes depending on the episode, and usually that character also reads the title card. In the English dub, all episodes feature Ash as the focus character, except ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'' and ''[[XY056|One for the Goomy!]]'' (both U.S. airings only), which instead feature {{an|Bonnie}} as the focus character.
** In the Japanese version, starting from ''[[XY061|An Oasis of Hope!]]'', the title card was updated to use Serena's new design. In the English dub, the title card continued to use Serena's old design.
* This is the last series thus far in which:
** Episodes have a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
** All of its movies are set in the animated series continuity. An alternate continuity would be established with a [[I Choose You! trilogy|trilogy]] of films starting with ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.
** Ash's goal is to collect [[Badge|Gym Badges]].
** The opening animations in the Japanese version feature a short introduction as a part of the telop.
** One of Ash's traveling companions is based on a player character.
* This is the series that introduces the fewest Pokémon from an upcoming generation, with only {{p|Magearna|one}}.
* Only three of Ash's Pokémon remained in his ownership by the time he returned to [[Pallet Town]], the least of any series of ''Pokémon the Series''.

== Congratulations ==
From one junior admin to another, I thought I would share my congratulations and welcome you to our team.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 00:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks BigDocFan, I've learnt a lot from you these last few years and I'm proud to now be part of the team --[[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 01:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

== Horizon synopsis ==

Nice to see you writing synopsis for that Pokémon Horizon manga. It's a vastly undercovered subject on this site that I've also bought and read myself. Such a shame that I'm unable to upload any images from it, which I'd really want to do if I could. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks Finnish, it's the first major thing I've written on the wiki. I will probably end up scanning it myself eventually for some images.

:Incidentally, do you know of any sources for the genders of Rockruff, Napo, and Dulio? None of them are gendered in the English translation as far as I know, but I'm assuming Napo is female, and Dulio male.

:Also, Napo is written as Napo in the first instance, but Napu the next two times.

:Any light you could shed on these would be greatly appreciated! --[[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 16:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
::My bad, but I do not. I've only read the English version. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

== Movie headers ==

Regarding [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Cherrygrove_City&curid=3470&diff=4164560&oldid=4162413 your edit] on Cherrygrove, I've believe that movies that are not part of the alternate continuity should be placed under the headers of the series they're part of. Is this true? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 23:52, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
:What you say could well be the case, given that Landfish only edited that page two days ago. It just felt a little weird to me that the Ruby Sapphire section only talked about M09. I'll consult other staff tomorrow for confirmation. Thanks for bringing this up with me :) --[[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 00:26, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
::No problem. Thank you for your understanding. I hope it can be changed back no problem. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 00:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
:::Oh, and I almost forgot: I believe the formatting on Slateport was correct previously, as I've been told that locations that have representation in both Pokémon the Series and Horizons can have the "animated series" header. See "Wild Area" as an example. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
::::On the [[Slateport City|Slateport]] and [[Wild Area]] examples, the use of "animated series" as a header is under review, so will hold off changing those for now. Luckily, it is only relevant for a handful of locations that have been visited in both ''Pokémon the Series'' and ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series'' so far so doesn't affect too many pages. [[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 10:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::I've heard as much. I personally support the format used on "Wild Area", so I hope it wins out and the Slateport City article can be reverted to its previous formatting. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::I also feel that the Arceus Chronicles should be counted as part of Journeys, since they're explicitly Journeys special episodes. Probably another thing that needs to be discussed. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
{{indent}} My personal feeling is that specificity if at all possible would be best, but it really would depend on the context. But I think at this point it would be best to direct your suggestions to the [[Bulbapedia_talk:Project_Anime|Project Anime talk page]] for a wider discussion. Reaching a consensus there would make the result clearer for everyone, and then we can all be on the same page as we make the changes.

== Thanks for the help ==

Thanks for the help with the header edits. Also, I have no idea how I had completely missed the Berry Juice article. Well spotted. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
:hey no problem, just working systematically through [[List of items by name]], currently on C Cheri Berry. It may take a while --[[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 22:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
::Yup, figured as much. No need to rush. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

== "The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension." ==

Greetings!

I'm new on Bulbapedia, but not new to wikis. However, I was trying to save an edit in the visual editor, and I got the error quoted in the heading. I saw you editing a few minutes ago, and I thought perhaps you could help me, as you are a junior admin.

Thanks very much! [[User:PawnShop75|PawnShop75]] ([[User talk:PawnShop75|talk]]) 20:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
: Hi. I can't say I've ever seen that error before. I just tried using the Visual Editor and it worked for me. Is the edit you tried to make a large one, either adding a lot or removing a lot of text or data, because sometimes it doesn't let new users do that. I also recommend trying it a couple more times just in case. If it still doesn't work, you could also flag the issue on our Discord, where there are a lot more technically knowledgeable folks than me. [[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 20:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

::Please don't worry @[[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]], for I figured out the problem! It can't make me solve a new user CAPTCHA in the visual save changes screen. Thank you for trying to help! [[User:PawnShop75|PawnShop75]] ([[User talk:PawnShop75|talk]]) 20:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:::Nice one, if you have any other problems don't be afraid to ask. Happy editing! [[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 20:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

== Re: Nuzlocke Challenge ==

What I meant by the edit note is that whenever I try to save the page after inserting a new link, I get the error: "The modification you tried to make was aborted by an extension." If I don't make any new links, I can edit the page normally. I don't know why this is, especially since I'm pretty sure I inserted a link in the past already. It's no big deal honestly, I was just trying to link the Lorelocke rule page, but people can easily look it up themselves. [[User:Misin9|Misin9]] ([[User talk:Misin9|talk]]) 06:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
: Hi. I think the issue might be that you were/are using the Visual Editor when trying to add references. I'm not quite sure why it occurs. If you still want to add the link, a workaround might be to use the Source Editor instead (by clicking ''edit source'' at the top of the page or section). Write the reference like this: <nowiki><ref>[urllink sourcename]</ref></nowiki>
:See [[Help:Wikicode#Referencing]] for more details. Hope this helps! [[User:Thespeon196|Thespeon196]] ([[User talk:Thespeon196|talk]]) 13:15, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
:: It worked. Thanks for the tip! [[User:Misin9|Misin9]] ([[User talk:Misin9|talk]]) 04:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

==Thanks for the edit==
Thanks for the edit! Will make sure I pay attention to that from here on! (Also just figured out how to reply to messages lol) [[User:ThisIsUnexpected|ThisIsUnexpected]] ([[User talk:ThisIsUnexpected|talk]]) 21:32, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

[[File:Pokémon Origins.png|thumb|250px|English poster]]
'''Pokémon Origins''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|{{j|THE ORIGIN}}|ジ・オリジン}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: The Origin'') is an {{pkmn|animation|animated}} miniseries that closely follows the plot of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Aesthetically it is based on the artwork, sprites, and other minor elements from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (and to a far lesser extent, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), as well as including some unique features, such as {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s green jacket and [[Mega Evolution]]. It stars {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as the protagonist and Blue as Red's [[rival]].

The story is split into four episodes. It was first aired in Japan on October 2, 2013, airing in its entirety. The first episode premiered in English on [[Pokémon TV]] on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes following on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013; the episodes remained on Pokémon TV until December 2, 2013. All four episodes were released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on December 4, 2013. On January 30, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes were made available on the [[Hulu]] streaming service for the United States, along with [[Prime Video]].<ref>http://www.hulu.com/pokemon-origins</ref> On May 28, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes [http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/pokemon-origins/id862658212 were released] on the [[iTunes]] distribution service, available in {{wp|Standard-definition television|standard-definition}} (SD) and {{wp|High-definition television|high-definition}} (HD) formats. On September 13, 2016, the first English dubbed episode was uploaded to Pokémon's official YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxmHCtj5cI&app=desktop</ref>

==Differences from the games==
Although the miniseries is more faithful to the games than the {{pkmn|animated series}}, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.
* {{OBP|Red|Origins}} speaks (although he is also implied to speak in the games when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}}).
* The character dialogue is directly from Red and Blue when in the text boxes during the montages (such as the beginnings of Files 2, 3, and 4), but when actually spoken, it is retranslated.
* [[Pallet Town]] is much bigger.
* The two visits to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] for the [[first partner Pokémon]] and the [[Pokédex]] are combined in Origins. Thus, [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] is absent.
* Red encounters certain wild Pokémon in locations where they cannot be encountered in the games, such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Spearow}} appearing on {{rt|1|Kanto}}.
* Red and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} first battle on Route 1, instead of in Professor Oak's Laboratory. He references the lab battle by proposing that he and Red "test out [their] Pokémon" like in the games, but quickly changes his mind.
* [[Brock]] meets Red on Route 1, whereas in the games he meets Red at the [[Gym]], like all Generation I [[Gym Leader]]s except [[Giovanni]].
* The Gym Trainers do not battle Red.
* A minor character based on a nameless NPC in [[Mr. Fuji]]'s house, [[Reina]], is introduced.
* There are no {{tc|Channeler}}s or any other Trainers in the [[Pokémon Tower]].
* Red is shown to already own a {{p|Jolteon}} by the time he visits Pokémon Tower, despite having not yet visited [[Celadon City]], where he would obtain Eevee at [[Celadon Condominiums]].
* The [[Silph Scope]] is obtained in the Pokémon Tower, instead of in the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. However, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} held it before Blue stole it from him.
** The Rocket Hideout is instead encountered afterwards in a flashback in File 3.
* Blue helps Red in the Pokémon Tower.
* The [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] is calmed by her child, {{p|Cubone}}, instead of Red.
* Red's {{p|Haunter}} knows {{m|Shadow Punch}}, a [[Generation III]] move, and it is [[Type/Type chart#Generation I|effective]] against [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Alakazam}}.
* Giovanni is the only Trainer that battles Red inside [[Silph Co.]] Also, Red loses against him.
* In the games, Blue leaves Red to defeat Team Rocket in Silph Co. In this special, he goes to inform the police, though only after being scolded by Red.
* The [[Master Ball]]'s production is put on hold, as opposed to Red being given one.
* Giovanni uses fewer Pokémon.
** This is referenced by him putting away his regular Gym Pokémon to battle Red with his two most powerful ones.
* In the games, Giovanni originally disbands Team Rocket because he does not wish to face his followers after losing to Red. In this special, he disbands them because he remembers his former love for Pokémon.
* One of the photos in the [[Hall of Fame]] includes a {{p|Slowking}}, a [[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Blue goes to Cerulean Cave to catch {{p|Mewtwo}}, whereas in the game he does not go at all.
* Mewtwo knows {{m|Confusion}} instead of {{m|Psychic}}.
* [[Mega Evolution]], [[Mega Stone]]s, and [[Key Stone]]s were all added in Pokémon Origins.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the {{pkmn|animated series}} and related media, all of the Pokémon make realistic, animal-like sounds. However, these sounds were still dubbed over and recreated by English-language voice actors in the English dub.
* Unlike the animated series, [[HP|hit points]] are acknowledged and consistently appear during battles at the [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].
* The sound and visual effects for [[Poké Ball]]s (such as when a Pokémon is being sent out) differ in comparison to the effects used in the animated series, instead being more loyal to the games. Another example is the three small stars that pop out of a Poké Ball when it has successfully caught a Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the {{pkmn|animated series}} and related media, all of the Pokémon make realistic, animal-like sounds. However, these sounds were still dubbed over and recreated by English-language voice actors in the English dub.
* Unlike the animated series, [[HP|hit points]] are acknowledged and consistently appear during battles at the [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].
* The sound and visual effects for [[Poké Ball]]s (such as when a Pokémon is being sent out) differ in comparison to the effects used in the animated series, instead being more loyal to the games. Another example is the three small stars that pop out of a Poké Ball when it has successfully caught a Pokémon.

'''Pokémon Origins''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|{{j|THE ORIGIN}}|ジ・オリジン}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: The Origin'') is an {{pkmn|animation|animated}} miniseries that closely follows the plot of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Aesthetically it is based on the artwork, sprites, and other minor elements from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (and to a far lesser extent, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), as well as including some unique features, such as {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s green jacket and [[Mega Evolution]]. It stars {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as the protagonist and Blue as Red's [[rival]].

The story is split into four episodes. It was first aired in Japan on October 2, 2013, airing in its entirety. The first episode premiered in English on [[Pokémon TV]] on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes following on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013; the episodes remained on Pokémon TV until December 2, 2013. All four episodes were released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on December 4, 2013. On January 30, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes were made available on the [[Hulu]] streaming service for the United States, along with [[Prime Video]].<ref>http://www.hulu.com/pokemon-origins</ref> On May 28, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes [http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/pokemon-origins/id862658212 were released] on the [[iTunes]] distribution service, available in {{wp|Standard-definition television|standard-definition}} (SD) and {{wp|High-definition television|high-definition}} (HD) formats. On September 13, 2016, the first English dubbed episode was uploaded to Pokémon's official YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxmHCtj5cI&app=desktop</ref>

==Differences from the games==
Although the miniseries is more faithful to the games than the {{pkmn|animated series}}, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.
* {{OBP|Red|Origins}} speaks (although he is also implied to speak in the games when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}}).
* The character dialogue is directly from Red and Blue when in the text boxes during the montages (such as the beginnings of Files 2, 3, and 4), but when actually spoken, it is retranslated.
* [[Pallet Town]] is much bigger.
* The two visits to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] for the [[first partner Pokémon]] and the [[Pokédex]] are combined in Origins. Thus, [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] is absent.
* Red encounters certain wild Pokémon in locations where they cannot be encountered in the games, such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Spearow}} appearing on {{rt|1|Kanto}}.
* Red and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} first battle on Route 1, instead of in Professor Oak's Laboratory. He references the lab battle by proposing that he and Red "test out [their] Pokémon" like in the games, but quickly changes his mind.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the {{pkmn|animated series}} and related media, all of the Pokémon make realistic, animal-like sounds. However, these sounds were still dubbed over and recreated by English-language voice actors in the English dub.
* Unlike the animated series, [[HP|hit points]] are acknowledged and consistently appear during battles at the [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].
* The sound and visual effects for [[Poké Ball]]s (such as when a Pokémon is being sent out) differ in comparison to the effects used in the animated series, instead being more loyal to the games. Another example is the three small stars that pop out of a Poké Ball when it has successfully caught a Pokémon.

'''Pokémon Origins''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|{{j|THE ORIGIN}}|ジ・オリジン}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: The Origin'') is an {{pkmn|animation|animated}} miniseries that closely follows the plot of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Aesthetically it is based on the artwork, sprites, and other minor elements from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (and to a far lesser extent, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), as well as including some unique features, such as {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s green jacket and [[Mega Evolution]]. It stars {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as the protagonist and Blue as Red's [[rival]].

The story is split into four episodes. It was first aired in Japan on October 2, 2013, airing in its entirety. The first episode premiered in English on [[Pokémon TV]] on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes following on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013; the episodes remained on Pokémon TV until December 2, 2013. All four episodes were released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on December 4, 2013. On January 30, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes were made available on the [[Hulu]] streaming service for the United States, along with [[Prime Video]].<ref>http://www.hulu.com/pokemon-origins</ref> On May 28, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes [http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/pokemon-origins/id862658212 were released] on the [[iTunes]] distribution service, available in {{wp|Standard-definition television|standard-definition}} (SD) and {{wp|High-definition television|high-definition}} (HD) formats. On September 13, 2016, the first English dubbed episode was uploaded to Pokémon's official YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxmHCtj5cI&app=desktop</ref>

==Differences from the games==
Although the miniseries is more faithful to the games than the {{pkmn|animated series}}, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.
* {{OBP|Red|Origins}} speaks (although he is also implied to speak in the games when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}}).
* The character dialogue is directly from Red and Blue when in the text boxes during the montages (such as the beginnings of Files 2, 3, and 4), but when actually spoken, it is retranslated.
* [[Pallet Town]] is much bigger.
* The two visits to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] for the [[first partner Pokémon]] and the [[Pokédex]] are combined in Origins. Thus, [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] is absent.
* Red encounters certain wild Pokémon in locations where they cannot be encountered in the games, such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Spearow}} appearing on {{rt|1|Kanto}}.
* Red and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} first battle on Route 1, instead of in Professor Oak's Laboratory. He references the lab battle by proposing that he and Red "test out [their] Pokémon" like in the games, but quickly changes his mind.
* [[Brock]] meets Red on Route 1, whereas in the games he meets Red at the [[Gym]], like all Generation I [[Gym Leader]]s except [[Giovanni]].
* The Gym Trainers do not battle Red.
* A minor character based on a nameless NPC in [[Mr. Fuji]]'s house, [[Reina]], is introduced.
* There are no {{tc|Channeler}}s or any other Trainers in the [[Pokémon Tower]].
* Red is shown to already own a {{p|Jolteon}} by the time he visits Pokémon Tower, despite having not yet visited [[Celadon City]], where he would obtain Eevee at [[Celadon Condominiums]].
* The [[Silph Scope]] is obtained in the Pokémon Tower, instead of in the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. However, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} held it before Blue stole it from him.
** The Rocket Hideout is instead encountered afterwards in a flashback in File 3.
* Blue helps Red in the Pokémon Tower.
* The [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] is calmed by her child, {{p|Cubone}}, instead of Red.
* Red's {{p|Haunter}} knows {{m|Shadow Punch}}, a [[Generation III]] move, and it is [[Type/Type chart#Generation I|effective]] against [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Alakazam}}.
* Giovanni is the only Trainer that battles Red inside [[Silph Co.]] Also, Red loses against him.
* In the games, Blue leaves Red to defeat Team Rocket in Silph Co. In this special, he goes to inform the police, though only after being scolded by Red.
* The [[Master Ball]]'s production is put on hold, as opposed to Red being given one.
* Giovanni uses fewer Pokémon.
** This is referenced by him putting away his regular Gym Pokémon to battle Red with his two most powerful ones.
* In the games, Giovanni originally disbands Team Rocket because he does not wish to face his followers after losing to Red. In this special, he disbands them because he remembers his former love for Pokémon.
* One of the photos in the [[Hall of Fame]] includes a {{p|Slowking}}, a [[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Blue goes to Cerulean Cave to catch {{p|Mewtwo}}, whereas in the game he does not go at all.
* Mewtwo knows {{m|Confusion}} instead of {{m|Psychic}}.
* [[Mega Evolution]], [[Mega Stone]]s, and [[Key Stone]]s were all added in Pokémon Origins.

'''Pokémon Origins''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|{{j|THE ORIGIN}}|ジ・オリジン}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: The Origin'') is an {{pkmn|animation|animated}} miniseries that closely follows the plot of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Aesthetically it is based on the artwork, sprites, and other minor elements from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (and to a far lesser extent, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), as well as including some unique features, such as {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s green jacket and [[Mega Evolution]]. It stars {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as the protagonist and Blue as Red's [[rival]].

The story is split into four episodes. It was first aired in Japan on October 2, 2013, airing in its entirety. The first episode premiered in English on [[Pokémon TV]] on November 15, 2013, with subsequent episodes following on November 18, 20, and 22, 2013; the episodes remained on Pokémon TV until December 2, 2013. All four episodes were released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japan on December 4, 2013. On January 30, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes were made available on the [[Hulu]] streaming service for the United States, along with [[Prime Video]].<ref>http://www.hulu.com/pokemon-origins</ref> On May 28, 2014, the English dubs of all four episodes [http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/pokemon-origins/id862658212 were released] on the [[iTunes]] distribution service, available in {{wp|Standard-definition television|standard-definition}} (SD) and {{wp|High-definition television|high-definition}} (HD) formats. On September 13, 2016, the first English dubbed episode was uploaded to Pokémon's official YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfxmHCtj5cI&app=desktop</ref>

==Differences from the games==
Although the miniseries is more faithful to the games than the {{pkmn|animated series}}, there are still some differences, mainly to enhance the plot or due to time constraints.
* {{OBP|Red|Origins}} speaks (although he is also implied to speak in the games when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}}).
* The character dialogue is directly from Red and Blue when in the text boxes during the montages (such as the beginnings of Files 2, 3, and 4), but when actually spoken, it is retranslated.
* [[Pallet Town]] is much bigger.
* The two visits to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] for the [[first partner Pokémon]] and the [[Pokédex]] are combined in Origins. Thus, [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] is absent.
* Red encounters certain wild Pokémon in locations where they cannot be encountered in the games, such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Spearow}} appearing on {{rt|1|Kanto}}.
* Red and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} first battle on Route 1, instead of in Professor Oak's Laboratory. He references the lab battle by proposing that he and Red "test out [their] Pokémon" like in the games, but quickly changes his mind.
* [[Brock]] meets Red on Route 1, whereas in the games he meets Red at the [[Gym]], like all Generation I [[Gym Leader]]s except [[Giovanni]].
* The Gym Trainers do not battle Red.
* A minor character based on a nameless NPC in [[Mr. Fuji]]'s house, [[Reina]], is introduced.
* There are no {{tc|Channeler}}s or any other Trainers in the [[Pokémon Tower]].
* Red is shown to already own a {{p|Jolteon}} by the time he visits Pokémon Tower, despite having not yet visited [[Celadon City]], where he would obtain Eevee at [[Celadon Condominiums]].
* The [[Silph Scope]] is obtained in the Pokémon Tower, instead of in the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]]. However, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} held it before Blue stole it from him.
** The Rocket Hideout is instead encountered afterwards in a flashback in File 3.
* Blue helps Red in the Pokémon Tower.
* The [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] is calmed by her child, {{p|Cubone}}, instead of Red.
* Red's {{p|Haunter}} knows {{m|Shadow Punch}}, a [[Generation III]] move, and it is [[Type/Type chart#Generation I|effective]] against [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Alakazam}}.
* Giovanni is the only Trainer that battles Red inside [[Silph Co.]] Also, Red loses against him.
* In the games, Blue leaves Red to defeat Team Rocket in Silph Co. In this special, he goes to inform the police, though only after being scolded by Red.
* The [[Master Ball]]'s production is put on hold, as opposed to Red being given one.
* Giovanni uses fewer Pokémon.
** This is referenced by him putting away his regular Gym Pokémon to battle Red with his two most powerful ones.
* In the games, Giovanni originally disbands Team Rocket because he does not wish to face his followers after losing to Red. In this special, he disbands them because he remembers his former love for Pokémon.
* One of the photos in the [[Hall of Fame]] includes a {{p|Slowking}}, a [[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Blue goes to Cerulean Cave to catch {{p|Mewtwo}}, whereas in the game he does not go at all.
* Mewtwo knows {{m|Confusion}} instead of {{m|Psychic}}.
* [[Mega Evolution]], [[Mega Stone]]s, and [[Key Stone]]s were all added in Pokémon Origins.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the {{pkmn|animated series}} and related media, all of the Pokémon make realistic, animal-like sounds. However, these sounds were still dubbed over and recreated by English-language voice actors in the English dub.
* Unlike the animated series, [[HP|hit points]] are acknowledged and consistently appear during battles at the [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]].
* The sound and visual effects for [[Poké Ball]]s (such as when a Pokémon is being sent out) differ in comparison to the effects used in the animated series, instead being more loyal to the games. Another example is the three small stars that pop out of a Poké Ball when it has successfully caught a Pokémon.
