== Top 20 Pokethon Countdown ==

Hey there! There is a page I would like to add about the anime. This was a marathon that Kids WB did back in 1999, in which kids voted on their favorite Pokemon, tallied the results, then hosted a marathon in which Meowth and Professor Oak counted down the top 20, and showed an episode showcasing each one. Here were the results, along with the episode the showed for each one.

20. Snorlax - Wake Up Snorlax 
19. Primeape - Primeape Goes Bananas 
18. Growlithe - The Case of the K9 Caper 
17. Cubone - The School of Hard Knocks 
16. Ponyta - The Flame Pokemon-athon 
15. Butterfree - Bye Bye Butterfree 
14. Psyduck - The Ninja Poke-showdown 
13. Charmeleon - The Problem With Paras 
12. Vulpix - Pokemon Fashion Flash 
11. Meowth - Who Gets to Keep Togepi? (sadly this marathon aired a few weeks before Go West Young Meowth) 
10. Raichu - Electric Shock Showdown 
9. Eevee - The Battling Eevee Brothers 
8. Blastoise - Island of the Giant Pokemon (again, I think this was JUST before Beach Blank-Out Blastoise aired) 
7. Ditto - Ditto's Mysterious Mansion 
6. Jigglypuff - The Song of Jigglypuff 
5. Bulbasaur - Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village 
4. Squirtle - Here Comes the Squirtle Squad 
3. Charmander - Charmander, the Stray Pokemon 
2. Charizard - Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon 
1. Pikachu - Pikachu's Goodbye

== Would this be notable for mainspacing? ==

I apologize for the crappy intro, but writing paragraphs has been one of my weaknesses. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Unowninator/Ability_move_variations]. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:14, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
:After some discussion with other staff members, we've unfortunately reached the conclusion that your page does not meet Bulbapedia's notability standards. We feel that that content would be better suited as trivia on the respective pages for the said moves and abilities. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 05:39, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
::Sadly, I'm not allowed to edit trivia for a while due to repeated screw-ups. Well, thanks for telling me this anyway; now I can stop waiting. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:43, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

== Charizard and Blastoise ==

Are the pages [[User:05308/Tierno's Blastoise]] and [[User:05308/Trevor's Charizard]] ready to get their own pages?--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 17:16, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:Trevor's Charizard can be mainspaced. Unfortunately, I still feel that Tierno's Blastoise does not meet the notability requirements. ''"If a rival's signature Pokémon does nothing more than battle or has no major impact on the plot, then it is not notable for an article and instead should have a section on its Trainer's page."'' While Charizard didn't do much outside of battling either, it at least participated in the league, which I would consider plot impact. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 04:18, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
::Some lower staff member moved Tierno's Blastoise anyway. Is deletion eminent? --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 03:59, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Only just saw this was going on; makes me feel important. If I'm honest, I would have thought it'd be the other way around, with Blasoise being notable and Charizard missing out. Both of them had roles outside of battle in the Summer camp: Pokévision and Orienterring episodes as well as being captured by Team Rocket before the Team battle (All of which I neglected to put on their respective pages) Blastoise alo had shenanigans as a Wartortle in ''Good Friends, Good Trainning'' and its recent battle in the Kalos leauge. It is my case that Blastoise should be mainspaced. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 07:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

== Request ==

Can I request that you look into FinnishPokeFan's latest edits because he/she seems to be constantly changing my edits by rewording things when they were fine the way they were. I don't have a problem if he/she adds things that need to be added or fixes mistakes, but he/she seems to be doing this constantly lately and I'm sure that this is because he/she is targeting me. He/she seems to have a problem with me for a while now and apparently these rewordings are fine, despite the fact that they don't need to have reworded. Because quite frankly, I'm sick of being targeted like this. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:As an example, he/she changed the description of Manectric using the move Electric Terrain in the anime and some of the edits added nothing new to it, but according to Tiddlywinks, it's completely fine to reword things, even though some of the edits were completely and utterly unnecessary. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:19, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
::Hey there. First, I want to start off by saying that when you first registered for Bulbapedia, you accepted that ''"all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors."''. I understand that having your edits altered or undone constantly can be frustrating, but the anime-related articles are often high traffic pages on the wiki, so it comes with the territory. Since both you and FinnishPokeFan are both frequent contributors to the anime section and the pages you edit often overlap, it's difficult for me to conclude that ''you'' specifically are being targeted rather than simply the subject of your edits. I've noticed that you and FinnishPokeFan disagree on quite a few topics, but I notice that majority of the time, you do not communicate with each other beyond edit summaries. If you disagree with actions that users make the best action would be reach out on their talkpage (or any talk page) and try to find understanding. If they refuse to engage with you after that, ''then'' we could try to look into taking further intervention. Reverting edits that you felt were unnecessary simply as a means of revenge isn't the best way to go about the situation either. The bottom line is, nothing policy breaking has occurred as of now, there's not much that can be done. Not everyone on Bulbapedia is going to get along and that's not a realistic expectation, but user feuds cannot get to the point where it becomes detrimental to the progress of the site.

== Main Space ==

Hi, I did this page [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Hikaru_Wazana/Ash%27s_Rivals#XY_series], I would like to know if there any way she could receive approval for the main space.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 14:09- 20 August 2016

== Anime Pokémon pages ==

Sorry to bring this to you but there is a massive back log of Anime Pokémon pages that I am certain are notable enough for mainspacing; [[User:Pattyman/Florges (anime)]], [[User:Pattyman/Meyer's Blaziken]], [[User:05308/Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]], [[User:05308/Diantha's Gardevoir]], [[User:05308/Chespie]], [[User:05308/Z2]] and also maybe [[User:05308/Lugia (anime)]]. Though some aren't quite up-to-date, I find nobody bothers to do much to a page that isn't mainspaced, besides, there are many mainspace pages that are not quite as up-to-date as they need to be (I mean anime Pokémon pages specifically).

I was also wondering wheather the anime counterparts of both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre should be given there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:50, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magnemite ==

I already brought this up with Force Fire but have not been given an answer yet and was told to bring it up with someone else. So I was wondering where you stood on Clemont's Magnemite. Notability rules say that Pokémon that are owned by Clemont are notable if they appeared in more than one episode and Magnemite has finally done that. So can the page [[User:Rahl/Clemont's Magnemite]] be moved to the mainspace?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
:While Clemont's Magnemite does ''technically'' meet the notability requirements, the Editorial Board feels that Clemont's Magnemite in particular is not notable. It only had very brief appearances and we feel that there's not enough information about it to warrant a page for it at this time. If we were to mainspace it, it would most likely remain a stub and it's not very worth it. We are currently in the process of adjusting/updating the anime notability requirements so it will be more clear on what to do in situations like this one.

== Opinion ==

What you think this?
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Dawn%27s_Buneary#Gender_should_be_changed_to_.22unknown.22 --[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 14:58, 30 October 2016 (UTC)]]
:While it's extremely likely that Dawn's Buneary is indeed a female, it's Bulbapedia policy to abide by what the Japanese version of the anime refers to it as. Unfortunately, it's never been explicitly stated or confirmed that it is a female Pokémon on the original version, so that's how it should be referred to as in the article. There have been some situations in the past where Pokémon have been referred to as one gender in the original version and another in the dub, so doing things this ways ensures that the Japanese version will always take precedence.

== Side Story epicodes ==

The side story epicodes jump from SS032 to SS034. This has yet to be fixed. Legend040[[User:Legend040|Legend040]] ([[User talk:Legend040|talk]]) 07:39, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:There's currently a plan to overhaul the epicode system for the side story episodes along with others. This will be a rather large scale moving process, which is why it has been delayed so long. It will be addressed in the future though. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 15:06, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Reducing clutter on [[Season]] ==

Hi there! I recently noticed that our [[Season]] page has a lot of unnecessary clutter — season boundaries only differed between broadcast and home video prior to the second Advanced Generation season, yet for some reason we list them separately even for more recent seasons. Since you're Head of Anime, I hope you're the right person for me to approach to suggest an alternative that I've created in my userspace: [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Season suggestion]] (and its [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Seasonlist2|accompanying template]]). I think this looks a lot better visually, and by my count it saves at least 600 bytes as well. I hope you agree. Thanks for your consideration.

== Question about the Forum ==

I was wondering. I tried to log in to the forum using my Bulbapedia account, but I was unable to. Should I really not be able to log in to the forum using my Bulbapedia account (which would be weird since I can use the same account in the Archives), or am I having a problem? [[User:Ratcicle Fan|Ratcicle Fan]] ([[User talk:Ratcicle Fan|talk]]) 17:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

:After some discussion, we feel that Byron's Bastiodon does not currently meet the guidelines stated under our Anime Notability Policy. ''Gym Leaders may have an article about their signature Pokémon, but only if it did more than just battle in the episode(s) it appeared in and had some impact on the plot.'' . I understand some borderline ones were approved recently, but that's because their Manga or Game section was fairly expansive, but that's not the case here.

:::No problem! Out of that list, the only one I really could see being possibly notable is Burgh's Leavanny, since it played a role in the eventual capture of Sewaddle. The others seemed like they really only battled and didn't do much else, so a vast majority of the info would be a rehashing of episode synopses.

== List of voice actors page ==

Should Pokemon Generations voice actors have their role mentioned on the page List of Japanese voice actors? Because there are quite a few voice actors who don't have their role mentioned on that page. Also would it be relevant for Takehito Koyasu and Yosuke Akimoto to have their own page? Because I'm planning to make a page for each of them and I believe that at least Koyasu would be relevant as he had voiced Butch in the Japanese dub of the anime but in Akimoto's case I'm not too sure if his role as Dr Fuji in Mewtwo Strikes Back, Birth of Mewtwo(Radio Drama) and Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin would be notable enough.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, Pokémon Generations VAs should have their roles mentioned on the List of Japanese Voice Actors page. As for the two voice actors you mentioned, Takehito Koyasu definitely meets the Project VA notability requirements. Dr. Fuji would probably fall under the recurring category so I'd be okay with Yosuke Akimoto having a page as well. If you draft up the two pages in your userspace I'll be happy to review/mainspace them right away. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

::::::::::Thanks for main spacing the page. It feels great to be able to contribute to Bulbapedia. Also yes, I was referring to the notice templates so thanks for linking me to them. Another thing I would like to ask if the page is meant to appear on the category page of 'Japanese voice actors' out of curiosity? Also take your time with regards to looking over the list I made in the other discussion, just saying so you don't feel too pressured to look at it straight away.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:48, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

== Takehito Koyasu Page ==

Hi, I've finished the draft for the page Koyasu, so could you please have a look over it to see if it is worthy to be mainspaced along with checking is anything is missing?. The Akimoto page is still currently being worked on. The Yosuke Akimoto page is still being worked on but will be ready soon to be looked over as a draft.
I would like to ask if there is a way where all 'incomplete' stub messages can be viewed? Because I feel in the future I will be using them quite a lot.
Also I would like to ask if the following voice actors would be relevant for their own article:
* Yuichi Nakamura: only did N in the anime but he was a prominent recurring character who even travelled with the group for a bit so I believe he would be relevant
* Takahiro Sakurai: May not be as notable but played a recurring role as Sandshrew in the anime and Watt from the AG series who appeared more than once
* Wataru Takagi: Played Fergus from M01 and Vladimir in AG series who appears more than once in AG series
* Atsuko Tanaka: Played Pike Queen Lucy and Lenora(who appeared in more than one episode, one being a gym battle and the other in another episode in person)
* Rie Tanaka: Played Solidad and Mars who both had frequent appearances in their respective series(AG and DP)
* Nobuo Tobita: Brycen who's appearances were both large in the episodes he appeared in
* Kosuke Toriumi: Played Saizo who was prominent in the two episodes of appearance despite being COTD
* Tetsuya Kakihara: Reggie who appeared numerous times throughout the DP series
* Mikako Komatsu: Mairin who appears many times throughout the XY anime
* Koji Yusa: May not be too prominent in terms of number of appearances but did play Drake(Orange League) who appeared twice during his battle against Ash
* Fumiko Orikasa: Diantha the Kalos Champion who appears a lot in the XY anime[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 15:08, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

==Quick questions==
Hi, I have a few questions I would like to ask regarding a few things,
* Do voice actors have to have a biography? Because I noticed that some such as Aoi Yuki have a biography.
* I saw that many voice actor pages have stubs on them. Is that because technically their roles are always expanding or is there some other reason?
* Would Kensho Ono be worthy of his own page? He played Alain who had a major role in the XY series and the Mega Evolution specials?
* Do edits to then userspaced pages count towards mainspace edits when they become mainspaced? And is there a way to count number of edits? Because I'm striving to become one of the top contributors of the month and just asking out of curiosity.
* Following the previous question, would it be advised against to edit a large number of articles in a small amount of time such as over the course of one day? Just need to know so I don't cause server problems.
* About the usertag "This user has beaten Bulbabot", can it only be used by those who beat Bulbabots number of contributions in one month?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 11:52, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll try to break down everything you asked below:
*Let me run this by the rest of the Editorial Board since it doesn't seem like there's ever been any established guidelines on that front.
*Many VA articles have been marked stubs because traditionally stub pages are considered pages that are very short, which is the case a lot of the time for VA articles. However, this blanket application of marking them as stubs are probably something we should be getting away from moving forward. In the future, we'll probably go through and unmark the articles that are considered "complete".
*Yes, he would qualify for a page.
*Yes, when articles are moved to the mainspace those edits will be automatically adjusted and counted towards your mainspace edits. You can check your number of edits by going to the "preferences" tab at the upper right and then clicking "view global account info" under the user profile tab. However, this edit number will be your edits in total, userspace edits and all, I don't believe there is a way to view a breakdown of the types of edits (userspace, mainspace, etc) without very high technical administrative privileges.
*No, we don't advise against it if they're all productive edits. The only concern would be editing a number of high-traffic templates at one time as that could crash the server, but most of those are protected from normal users anyway.
*The Bulbabot usertag is for overall edits I believe, but I'll double check that for you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

== I've a trivia question. ==

Hi, I wanted to thank you for removing my trivia ban. But I also don't want to repeat history, so I thought I should ask: are any of [[User:Unowninator#My personal trivia|these]] good trivia? And is there anything I should know? (I can't really remember why I got banned in the first place.) [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 22:02, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:I'll look into these more closely and reply back soon. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 22:05, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
::I bolded the ones that I think would be notable:
*All of the Iron-Masked Marauder Pokemon, including Celebi have a quadruple weakness.
*Spoink's badge bounces a bit in the Badge Arcade, whereas nothing else moves in its machine.
*Hyperspace Fury is the only non Z-move move that breaks Protect which can hit all types.
*Rio'''Lucario'''lu
*Darkrai is the only Technical Pokkén character without a Mega evolution or a weakness against Ghost attacks.
**It is also the only non-Ghost type that can go through walls without an item in Mystery Dungeon.
'''*By giving Stunfisk an Air Balloon, it becomes the only Dual-typed Pokémon immune to both of its STABs.'''
*Onix is the only [[Gigantic Pokémon]] that can still evolve.
*The playable Pokemon in every [[Special episode]] is either pure Grass or pure Normal (not counting Igglybuff's eventual type change)
'''*Torracat is the only starter Pokemon to have a stat drop when it evolves.'''
'''* In {{g|Yellow}}, the game corner slots use {{TRT}}'s Pokemon.'''
* Sandshrew and Sandslash are the only Pokemon not to share any weaknesses with their Alolan forms.
As for anything you should know, stay away from trivia (or any statements for that matter) that could be viewed as an opinion. Also avoid overly obvious trivia that may already be stated or easily seen from reading the article itself. I hope this helps some.

== Username change request ==

My username on Bulbapedia is Randomwaffle23. I despise this name, and I regret having ever been young and stupid enough to choose it for anything. On more than one occasion, I've had people assume I'm a new user who doesn't know what he's doing, even when my edits are constructive and in good faith. People figure they probably know better than someone named Randomwaffle23.

I don't want to be looked down on because of these kinds of assumptions. I don't want to be an eternal "new user". So, I'd like to have my account's username changed to '''Ardub23''', a name which has fewer connotations (and which matches my username on various other sites). Or, failing that, I'd like to be permitted to create a new account under that name.

Thank you for considering my request. — [[User:Randomwaffle23|Randomwaffle23]] ([[User talk:Randomwaffle23|talk]]) 19:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

== Template wikicode question ==

I am writing a sandboxed version of the {{template|alldex}} row template for use on a draft article ([[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]) that is currently nominated for mainspacing. I want this sandboxed version to take into account whether a non-numeric input (like <code>---</code> or <code>???</code>) is fed to any of its parameters.

On the current version in templatespace, whenever a non-numeric input is fed to the <code>s=</code> parameter, as in the following example:
<pre>{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}</pre>
I get the following error message:
{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}
This is because of the following numeric comparison statement being executed by the template to determine whether or not to append {{sup/4|Pt}} to the Sdex number:
<pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}</pre>
The comparison <code><nowiki>{{{s|001}}} > 151</nowiki></code> crashes whenever <code>s=</code> is non-numeric. So, I want to modify my sandboxed copy of {{template|alldex}} to not execute the numeric comparison above unless the input is purely numeric.

I want to ask if there is a wikicode command (like <code><nowiki>{{#ifnum: {{{in|def}}}|out}}</nowiki></code> or similar) that I can use in my template to check whether the input is a number (positive, negative, etc.) and execute the output only upon meeting that numeric constraint. That way, I could have my template do this without crashing or returning error messages:
<pre>{{#ifnum: {{{s|001}}}|{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}}}</pre>
I could also use such a construct to tell the template to supress any <code><nowiki>{{tt|*|}}</nowiki></code> tooltips for non-numeric inputs (like <code>---</code>, used to express that a Pokémon is not in that regional Pokédex), so that for the example above I get something like this:
{{alldexh|1}}
|- style="background:#FFFFFF;"
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #204{{tt|*|199 in Generation II}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #095{{tt|*|092 in Generation III}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #094{{tt|*|Central}}
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #---
| {{MS|084|Doduo (Pokémon)}}
| {{p|Doduo}}
| style="text-align:center; background:#{{normal color}}" | [[Normal (type)|Normal]]

Hello! I wanted to help with item descriptions by adding a verbal description since the pictures are very small on mobile and sometimes don't load due to errors or bad signal.
someone was removing them and messaged me to stop and that the pictures were enough.

this was my reply: " I'm adding the descriptions because on mobile or low wifi or bad data the pictures don't load at all sometimes. If you can't get the picture a description is a good way to help someone identify an item they have. please leave them alone."
I went to correct my signature and spelling and I couldn't save. It says I was abusing somehow? abuse 3 or something. Please help! I'm not entirely sure how the talking thing works even after reading the page and I hope this gets top you okay.

Pokémon Home has made new sprites of every Pokémon just for the app. I'm unsure if these should be added to the individual Pokémon's page or if there should be a page dedicated to the Pokémon Home sprites.

Ideally, the home sprites would be included on each individual species page as we do with sprites from other games/generations, but that would be implemented through an update of the Spritebox template, which a couple of users are working on currently. Once these steps are done is when we can go about adding them to the pages and there may be more for you to help with.

== Ataro ignoring my talk page messages ==

Hey! I would like to report an admin. [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such unacceptable, selective behavior. One would expect an admin to respond to any and all talk page messages as soon as possible. Unfortunately, trying to contact Ataro even before they initially responded has been an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct. I'd like to see this being addressed. Thank you. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:48, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
:Hello GrammarFreak and thank you for reaching out. While I definitely understand and see your frustrations, I also want to say be careful because you don't want to toe the line of harassment by repeatedly leaving messages after Ataro explained his reasoning behind his original action. Even though Ataro is the Head of Manga and has the right to not explain himself further, he should have communicated this to you clearly or referred you to a higher member of staff if you were dissatisfied still. I'll try to touch base with him, but, for now, I'm going to ask you to discontinue messaging him about this particular issue. You can reach out to myself or Kogoro if you have any additional disagreements with a decision a member of staff has made. Thank you.

<li>{{user|Kogoro}} has so many unanswered user rename requests on her talk page. I have requested as well, so will you or Kogoro ''globally'' rename users? [[Special:CentralAuth/TheICTLiker4|View my current CentralAuth status]]. Yes, I want to have my username changed to Keyacom because I'm called like that in many places around the internet, e.g. on [[Smogon|Pokémon Showdown]].
<li>Even if a user was {{bp|blocking policy|blocked}}, will they be ever accepted to become a staff member?
<li>Will Bulbapedia ever have the [[mw:Extension:Math|Math extension]] installed? Not only I want this extension, but also {{user|Raltseye}}, {{user|Team Rocket Grunt}} and {{user|SnorlaxMonster}}. I think Bulbapedia should have this extension because:

<li>Do edits made to the custom CSS/JS and user sandbox pages count to the userspace limit of three edits per day?
<li>I want you to rate the following pages to see if they can be in one of Bulbapedia's main content spaces.
<ul><li>[[User:TheICTLiker4/List of fishing encounters]] (If I finish this, this will be under "List of fishing encounters in Generation I").<li>[[User:TheICTLiker4/TOC right]] ({{user|Raltseye}} was just doing this so many times.

:1. Hello there. Unfortunately Kogoro and the webmaster himself are the only staff members who have global rights to rename users on the wiki but we are working on getting this right to additional users so we can carry out the requests that have been pending. Your patience is appreciated with this.
:2. Being blocked isn't a dealbreaker for becoming a Staff member. There have been a few staff members who were blocked at one point and later became Staff. A variety of factors are considered when evaluating if a user is ready for staff, including disciplinary history, qualities of edits, and a user's ''overall attitude''.
:3. This is something that we have been considering with our next Mediawiki update, but we are still in discussions. The webmaster is usually the one who handles the selection and implementation of add-ons, etc.
:4. We are generally a bit more lenient towards userspace edits that are intended to be mainspaced as a template or other item that constructively adds to the wiki. However, if you are working on templates/css stuff more than you are contributing to the mainspace is when it becomes problematic. I recommend staying as close to the limit as you can.
:5. I will have to look at these more closely later. {{u|Abcboy}} is the Acting Head of Games and can review the more game related items you have on the list as that's his area and should be your first point of contact. Hope I was able to answer some of your questions! '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 02:27, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

== help with wording on [[Twerp]] ==

on the article [[Twerp]] I added that the ter mis not always used as an insult, such as how Meowth referred to Ash and the crew as tworps even when he was temporarily with the group in mid Unova.
Is there a better way to include this because without this point, it only looks like it's always an insult. I think it's important to acknowledge that the term is not always an insult but is rathe roften times an insult instead of always. thakns.

== Mainspacing request ==

I'm hoping you mean what you wrote in your MftE, so here's a page I'd like to "fast-track".

It's a page I was reassured it'd be notable before I made it, which was back in 2016. Over time, I repeatedly asked staff member(s) to mainspace it, but that never happened. Recently, Daniel Carrero created the article from scratch, rather than mainspacing mine (no blame on him please). That was about almost weeks ago, and nothing happened since then. I'm talking about [[Confusion (status condition)|confusion]].

So could you pleease either merge the two yourself and at least do [[Special:Diff/3156837|the appropriate edit]] [[Special:Diff/2563332|to the template]], ask a staff member of your choice to do it, or promote me so I can do it?

== KnightGalarie and Gyarados edit ==

Hey! Since you've decided to get involved in {{U|KnightGalarie}}'s style of editing, do you think you could look into [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Gyarados_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=3184454&oldid=3184453 this edit] for the {{p|Gyarados}} article? I've had [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:KnightGalarie#Ho-Oh_and_Gyarados a back-and-forth discussion] with them over it, and I think a third party should look into it.

Also, on a slightly related tangent, I think there needs to be a discussion amongst the staff about the issue of style when it comes to Pokémon whose recurring status in the anime is ambiguous, like Gyarados and {{p|Dodrio}}. Since you made the wording for the Dodrio entry ambiguous, perhaps this opens the question of whether this should automatically apply to all other Pokémon articles with similar cases, as well as how we should evaluate the ambiguity of continuity. Do you get my drift? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 20:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
:Hey there, I believe G50 addressed this by stating that there 'must' be confirmed explicitly in order for us to state a relation as so on pages.

{{template|Moveanime}} has been edited in a way that not only leaves a notable gap between the leftmost and the second-leftmost image unless all the image slots are filled up, but also causes the leftmost image's text to be misaligned with the image under the same conditions. Overall, the template looks stretched out on the left side now.

Hi Pokemaster97! I'm not sure how I'm supposed to report this kind of thing, but I noticed on the Recent changes page that there was a user making a bunch of trolly comments on individuals' userpages.

== Romanization question ==
Hi Pokemaster97! I'm thinking about making more major edits to the [[List of moves in other languages]] page and the [[List of abilities in other languages|corresponding abilities page]], but I noticed that there are two different romanization styled for the Japanese names of these mechanics, the ones on the moves' individual pages(which tend to use more correct romaji and also romanize words in Katakana), and the ones in the foreign language pages. Which style has precedence? I know the Manual of Style says to use the official names for the Pokémon, but I'm not really sure what to do in this case, since I don't think moves have official romanizations. I would be really grateful if you would let me know (and maybe even add a provision to the Manual of Style).
Thanks again,

Shadab Kun Alt: /* Chloe is a Protagonist */

That's a big assumption that her name came from 小春 (a period in autumn with kinda hot weather, literally "little spring"). Both her father's name and her hair decoration references cherry blossoms, which is always connected with spring season.

That's a big assumption that her name came from 小春 (a period in autumn with kinda hot weather, literally "little spring").

== Personality ==

Not sure what a good word for this would be, but Chloe seems to get really excited by the prospect of romance. [[JN011]] shows her visibly blushing excitedly when she thought that Talia stuck to her career because of Professor Cerise. [[JN057]] speaks for itself here. I'm sure there are other examples that I can't recall right now, but these are the two that I can think of off the top of my head (I also haven't watched or learned about the events of anything past JN060 outside of a few minor things, since I'm a US person and stick to the Netflix releases, and want to keep my exposure to future episodes to a minimum). Regardless, I think we should put in a paragraph about this, but I just wanted to get it approved here first. [[User:JdRDMS|JdRDMS]] ([[User talk:JdRDMS|talk]]) 04:12, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Shadab Kun Alt: Nevermind, I added it

I figure those should all have their own pages with a list of episodes on them and descriptions for the movies but I don't have time to do that right now. If you disagree with the formatting, just revert it back to the way it was or change it. -Greengiant

Oh, I agree. Definitely, each season should have its own respective page, along with each movie.

[[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 05:29, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Continuity==

Are the shows considered to be what actually happened?? (Please say YES!!)--[[User:Bly1993|Bly1993]] 14:37, 3 January 2006 (CST)

This is more of a list Pokemon themes, rather than about the anime.
:Well it's not like we need to actually explain what anime is. It is kinda assumed that people aren't that stupid as to not know that. And sure, it may be a list of the different themes used during the different series (usually, each Japanese theme corresponds to an English one, while each English one corresponds to a season, and each movie corresponds to each season), but what do you want us to do, put the entire list of the episodes, what happens in them and everything on the page? We link to the separate pages for them all. It's a list of everything in the anime aside from the characters, which are more than easily accessed from the page.

== 2nd longest ==

Isn't Pokémon the 2nd longest running television show to still air new episodes? (Supased only by the Simpsons, which first aired in 1989) [[User:ShinyPikachu|ShinyPika <3 ALS]] 18:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon is nowhere near. "Meet the Press" has been airing weekly since the 40s. {{unsigned|Cadellin}}

== CN's time slot==

Apparently CN decided to screw all of us Pokemon watchers to watch the series at 7 EST in the morning, which is clearly out of hand.

Since there's a section for it in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] article, shouldn't there also be a section for it in this article? [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 11:40, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

== A major lack of specific information this page should cover ==

Who produces the anime? -_- In Japan? Who's responsible for it? Stuff of that like? Or if that information belongs elsewhere, '''don't you think it's important?''' [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 19:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== Usual Cycle ==

How long is a usual cycle of a region?
For example...
Kanto region conquering took 2 years to finish the anime series. (Japan's series, anyway). I think Sinnoh took 4 years? Hoenn + Battle frontier is probably 3 years.
Since Ash already has 4 badges in Unova, how long will it take to finish 4 more battles, the fight of a lifetime vs. "Said team villains", and lose to someone in the Pokemon League? By looking at patterns. It's been about 7 months since airing, hasn't it? [[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 04:54, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:Scratch that, 13 months, September 23 or so, 2010.[[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 04:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

== Japanese vs. Dubs ==

I know that most of you won't agree with me on this, but I think we should incorporate both the moves of Pokemon shown in the Dub, and in the Original version. Because so many people will be watching so many different dubs, it is important that we provide the appropriate information for all different countries' versions. It would be extremely simple just to label some moves in the (country)'s dub only section.{{unsigned|Confusion}}

==Fragment==
Excuse me, please. Could you answer my question, from which episode this fragment? Thanks in advance. I'll delete this post after receiving a answer, thanks. [http://serebii.ru/pokemon/t/sc8f3.jpg This fragment]. [[User:Psyduck123|Psyduck123]] 13:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

== Correction? ==

In the area that lists each anime episode, it says that EP081 was the first episode in the Orange Islands saga, but this episode was actually the last Indigo Plateau episode as the Indigo Plateau theme song plays at the beginning of the episode instead of the Orange Islands theme. The first Orange Islands episode was actually EP082 as this was the first episode that featured the Orange Islands theme. I just brought this up because I'm not sure exactly how to upload pictures to Bulbapedia yet, so I wouldn't be able to properly correct the error. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 02:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC))

== Best Wishes series ==

How come for Best Wishes & Rival Destinies, they are made bigger? I understand why this happens for AG & DP, but BW has the same amount of "seasons" for the Japan & US. In AG & DP, there was always one extra, explaining why one part was made bigger. Shouldn't the BW sections all be the same size? [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 16:57, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Be an Arrow! ==
Why do we have to consider ''Be an Arrow! 2013'' a different opening than ''Be an Arrow!''? We don't consider different versions of other openings in this list, so I think it's unnecesary. The same goes for *deep breath* '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2 Episode N''', since *deep breath* '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2 Episode N''' is not a different season, but part of '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2''' as well.

== Structure of Dub Broadcast ==

In Season 1 + 2, there is a post-intro segment, with the Pokemon logo appearing for a short time. This probably makes me believe right after the intro it cuts to commercial break them the episode begins. Also, I was wondering if during the Kids' WB days of Pokemon it was also aring on Fox Kids (as a block on the Fox stations in the U.S., from [[EP044]] of Season 1 through Season 4), then on FoxBox/4KidsTV (4Kids' block on Fox stations lasting from Season 5-8)...

Please respond ASAP!

==8 series==
The official Japanese Pokemon website (https://www.pokemon.co.jp/anime/tv/#anc6) lays the anime out into ''eight'' series: the original series, Orange Islands, Gold & Silver, Advanced Generation, Diamond & Pearl, Best Wishes, XY, and Sun & Moon. --[[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]] ([[User talk:Master Lucario|talk]]) 16:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)--[[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]] ([[User talk:Master Lucario|talk]]) 16:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

== Other anime series ==

Is this page about the Pokémon anime series, or about Pokémon animation as a whole?

It is broadly structured as if it is specifically about the Pokémon anime series only, but then has the section "Other anime series", which covers various Pokémon animations that are not part of the Pokémon anime. (The anime navigation template even links to it!) And then there is the "Variety shows" section, which covers shows that are not animated, but are somewhat related to the Pokémon anime series.

In my opinion, the "Other anime series" section should be removed and replaced with "See also" links, so that this page can be exclusively about the Pokémon anime series. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:42, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
:Basically, the distinction I'm trying to draw is the same as the distinction between the [[Pokémon manga]] page (a page about the medium as a whole) and [[Pokémon Adventures]] (a page about a specific series within that medium). In the case of the anime, there is one particular series that overwhelmingly dominates in that medium, but it's not the only Pokémon series in that medium (at least, not anymore). Perhaps we should create a {{redlink|Pokémon animation}} page, to cover the medium as a whole? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

::Alternatively, could this be a landing page for the medium (like [[Pokémon manga]]) and then have off-shoot pages for [[Pokémon the Series]], [[Pokémon movies]], [[Pokémon Origins]], [[Pokémon Evolutions]] etc? - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 12:19, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

== Future ==

With today's announcement, I think it will be good to discuss how some things (and the anime section as a whole) on this page will work. It will take a lot of work.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 11:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

== Proposed move ==

So, as it stands, there are still a few details about the future of the TV show that we aren't sure about yet, but one thing we are sure about is that there are now multiple animes happening for the Pokémon franchise, and we need to start reckoning with that. The first step is having a landing page for all of these different animes collectively, and distinguishing when we are talking about "Pokémon anime" as a general item like [[Pokémon manga]], and when we are talking about the main TV series. The first step is moving this page, with all of its history, to [[Pokémon the Series]] (since that's how this page has been treated so far). This has been discussed at length on the discord, and if I remember correctly, this part has been pretty agreed on, so let's hear out any final opinions on this step, and figure out the next steps for this lengthy process.

As a formality, I will also state '''Agree''' for the proposed move. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 15:48, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:I '''Agree''' as well. Per the discord discussion, I've started up a draft in my userspace here: [[User:Boblers/Pokémon the Series]].
:This draft is also assuming that all of the content relevant to Pokemon the Series (PTS) should also be listed, or at least links should be provided to dedicated listings. Things like movies, special episodes, etc that use PTS's world and characters, while not strictly taking the form of TV episodes. This could act as a sort of hub page for PTS content, as well as help to distinguish which works do or do not tie in to PTS. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 16:11, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::Otherwise, wouldn't oppose this, but I'm just wondering how all the <nowiki>{{pkmn|anime}}</nowiki> links would be handled. There's so many of them all over the site, and most people who come to Bulbapedia to search for stuff about Pokémon anime will use the term to refer to the main series. I'd personally probably want to keep the "Pokémon anime" page dedicated to the main series and give all the web anime (as they've officially been referred as) their own (sub) page. "Pokémon the Series" is an official term, yes, but not what most people would use to search for the main series anime on this site. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::A possible solution for this problem could be keeping the "Pokémon the Series" content on the "Pokémon anime" page and creating instead a separate "Pokémon animation" page for all the various Pokémon animated productions in general. --[[User:Ricbolog1310|Ricbolog1310]] ([[User talk:Ricbolog1310|talk]]) 19:46, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::::Going the "animation" and "anime" route could be a good middle-ground solution, if we're really not comfortable with using the PTS name. But I still think PTS is more intuitive. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 20:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::Per the concern that there's a lot of relinking involved, we can easily use Bulbabot to streamline that process, so it's a non issue.
:::::As for having the different sets of information on "Pokémon anime" and "Pokémon animation", we generally avoid assigning arbitrary definitions to generic terms, as it frequently doesn't make any sense to people actually reading the website. We could certainly still have "Pokémon anime" redirect to [[Pokémon the Series]] if we needed to, with a hat note pointing to a generic "Pokémon animation" page, but we shouldn't have a generic title referring to a specific item since that's one of the problems we should be fixing with this change (see [[#Other anime series]] for more details. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 13:15, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::I think Maverick Nate's latest solution makes the most sense. Keeping this page as a redirect to "Pokémon the Series" and creating the all-encompassing article at "Pokémon animation" would prevent readers who don't know about the move from finding themselves on a different page than expected and would also prevent relinking.　[[User:Kauli|Kᴀᴜʟɪ]] 〔[[User talk:Kauli|Tᴀʟᴋ]][[Special:NewSection/User talk:Kauli|+]]〕 20:49, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::::I don't think I'd personally like the move of such a long-established article being moved when it would result in people searching for a redirect page a lot of the time. Couldn't other anime/animations just be split into their own category, like "other anime" or "other animations"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 01:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Isn't that exactly what redirects are for though? To redirect people to an article when they search for an alternative name? The article for every Pokémon species has a redirect, as people aren't searching "[[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)]]". Most people would search for core series games without the word "Version" and we have redirects for that. The articles for anime episodes are located at their [[epicode]]s, so the episode titles have redirects as well. I don't see how people searching for a redirect page would be an issue when we already have that for every Pokémon species and every anime episode.　[[User:Kauli|Kᴀᴜʟɪ]] 〔[[User talk:Kauli|Tᴀʟᴋ]][[Special:NewSection/User talk:Kauli|+]]〕 04:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
:IMO, splitting "anime" and "animation" to different articles would still be a preferable option to renaming a long-established article. "Anime" is such an easily recognizable term, used across the internet far more often than "Pokémon the Series". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:30, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
::If I could input my 2 cents on the matter. You guys usually try to use the most official name when naming a page. For example, the first Pokémon game is officially called "Pokémon Red and Blue Versions" but most people just simply say "Pokémon Red and Blue". I've seen people call Pokémon Adventures simply the "Pokémon manga" because it's the most well-known Pokémon manga, but the page is called "Pokémon Adventures" because that is its official name. Even right now, you guys are debating on changing the name of "Starter Pokémon" to the more official term "First Partner Pokémon", because that is the term that has been used more recently. The "Pokémon anime" is technically not even its real name, its official name is "Pokémon the series", with "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series" also being names used by the Pokémon Company itself. Some in-game events even called the main anime "the Pokémon Cartoon". So I'm all for making the main show its own page named "Pokémon the series", and keeping this page as "Pokémon anime". Plus it's not like "Pokémon the series" wouldn't be near the top of the "Pokémon anime" page, fans will still be able to find the main show when they search Pokémon anime. [[User:TBR2001|TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 05:52, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
:Shouldn't ''Journeys'' be included in the split? Like the original anime and ''Horizons'', it's simply called ''Pocket Monsters'' in Japan, which means it's its own series. [[User talk:SatoMew2|サトミュウ (SatoMew)]] 12:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
::I don't think ''Journeys'' or ''Horizons'' should be included in the split, as they are both still considered part of the overall "Pokémon the Series" show. Plus Journeys and Horizons already have a page in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', so having "Pokémon Horizons" be included in the split seems pointless. There is no need to make another page called "Pokémon Horizons" when there already is one. Plus It will be confusing as there is already a manga series called [[Pokémon Horizon]]. If it is about the amount of Pokémon manga based on "Pokémon Horizons: The Series", then just add a section in "Pokémon the Series" called '''Manga based on Pokémon the Series''' where we can put stuff like [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series (manga)]], and the other Pokémon manga based on the TV series in.[[User:TBR2001|TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 19:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
:::[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbqxYt1JGGU The official video released to celebrate Pokémon's 25th anniversary] specifically uses the term "anime" to refer to the series, distinguishing it from the other animations by calling them "web anime". Personally, I think this is how it should be done here too: leave the regular anime as its own section and give the web anime its own section, where the various different series can be used as subheaders. It also shows that "anime" is an official term used to refer to the series, not just something the fans do. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

[[File:Early anime film frame.png|thumb|230px|Cel from [[EP093]]]]

The anime debuted on April 1, 1997 in Japan; the English dub debuted on September 7, 1998 in North America.

The anime until ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' focused on the story of [[Ash Ketchum]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a [[Pokémon Master]], {{ashfr|his many friends}}, and most especially {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, whom he considers his partners and friends. Though the anime is ultimately based upon the {{pkmn|games}} and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on. The following series, ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', features an all-new cast of characters and focuses on the story of two young Trainers named [[Liko]] and [[Roy]].

As of the end of March 2022, the anime has aired in 192<ref>[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/aboutus/figures/ ''Pokémon in Figures'' - The Pokémon Company] (retrieved February 19, 2021)</ref> {{cat|Pokémon around the world|different countries and regions}} in over 30 [[Dub|languages]].

[[The Pokémon Company International]] usually refers to the anime as the "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series". Some [[event Pokémon]] based on Pokémon from the anime have their location set as "the Pokémon cartoon" in the English version of the games. The television series is referred to as '''''Pokémon the Series''''' (Japanese: '''テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター」シリーズ''' ''TV Anime "Pocket Monsters" Series''), although this typically does not include the Pokémon movies.

==Overview==
For the first 26 years of the anime, Ash was the central character, making his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master known to all he meets. Though initially, he only became a Pokémon Trainer with the goal of beating his rival, [[Gary Oak]], the many Pokémon Ash met over his {{pkmn|journey}} showed him what being a Pokémon Master really is. Unlike most Trainers from Pallet, and indeed, unlike players of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Ash did not start his journey with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, as he arrived late to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]]. Instead, Ash was given the only Pokémon Oak had left to give, a {{AP|Pikachu}} that did not enjoy being inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}. From there, Ash learned to treat his Pokémon as partners, earning Pikachu's trust by keeping him safe from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} he angered.

During his time as a protagonist, Ash journeyed across all eight of the regions that appear in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real-world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In the regions outside of [[Galar]], he battled against the local [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[Badge]]s, just like the players of the core series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a [[Pokémon League Conference|championship tournament]], rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his {{pkmn|journey}}, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, beginning with his journey in [[Hoenn]], he changed his strategy, and used only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to {{an|Dawn}} being that he wanted to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try.

Over the course of his run as the protagonist of the series, Ash had several {{AP|friends}} who traveled with him, typically across one region, and assisted him in his journey as much as he assisted in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joined him in the [[original series]], as did {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon Watcher]], joined Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but left him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and Dawn, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, joined Ash for the duration of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', respectively; in these series, he mentored them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looked up to Ash for the duration of ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} traveled with Ash in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Inventor {{an|Clemont}}, his sister {{an|Bonnie}}, and Ash's childhood friend {{an|Serena}} travelrd with Ash in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. Like Max, Bonnie is too young to own Pokémon, but cared for her brother's {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ash attended the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. As such, his new friends—{{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}—were not traveling companions but classmates. In his last series as the protagonist, ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Ash's sole new traveling companion was [[Goh]], a Trainer aiming to catch every Pokémon species in the {{pkmn|world}}, with his ultimate goal being to catch the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}.

''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' does not feature Ash as the protagonist, unlike the previous series, instead focusing on new protagonists named [[Liko]] and [[Roy]].

The anime is produced in Japan by [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]] in association with [[Shogakukan|ShoPro]] and [[JR Kikaku]] and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every week, with the exception of a four-month hiatus after the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] and a seven-week hiatus during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Until the Porygon incident, the show aired every Tuesday at 6:30 PM. The show returned afterwards at 7 PM on Thursdays. From April 7, 2016, to September 13, 2018, it instead began five minutes earlier at 6:55 PM on Thursdays. Since October 7, 2018 to September 29, 2020, the show aired each Sunday at 6 PM. From October 9, 2020, the show airs each Friday at 6:55 PM. Many fans consider the dialogue and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode.

In Japan, the anime is divided into eight [[series]]: ''[[Original series|Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Pocket Monsters Best Wishes]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY|Pocket Monsters XY]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon|Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon]]'', ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pocket Monsters]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|Pocket Monsters]]''. Outside of it, it has been divided into nine series: ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'', ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold & Silver]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon|Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon]]'', ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. The episodes are also further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Anime seasons}} - 1}}}}. This concept of a television season was first embraced by the Japanese source with the inclusion of an explicitly second season to ''Best Wishes''.

The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in some episodes, and most notably in movies. Many Pokémon that are implied to be violent or sinister in the games are also made to be less aggressive. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie}}
Since 1998 in Japan, and since 1999 in the US, a Pokémon movie has been released annually, most often focusing on a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]]. These films are almost always a large success in Japan, and remain at least somewhat successful in {{pmin|the United States}} and other countries, having been aired on television as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], with the first five movies receiving wide releases and later films occasionally receiving limited releases.

The movies are not considered by all people to be canon to the show, with some preferring to think of them occurring in an alternate timeline. This theory comes from the fact that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not seem to be profoundly affected in the show by the events of the movies, which tend to have a lot of peril and drama. Others, however, see the movies as being akin to [[filler episode]]s, as none of their [[party|parties]] change, and no [[Gym Leader]]s are defeated nor [[Pokémon Contest]]s won. This is presumably the correct interpretation, as not only have most of the events of the movies been referenced at least peripherally in the show, but also, several of the events of even ''major'' episodes have been forgotten by the writers of later episodes.

==Trivia==
* Animator [[Masaaki Iwane|Masāki Iwane]] 岩根正明 once stated that the anime was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] [[region]] [[S01|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070112132427/http://pokeani.com/news/2006_09/09-pokenews42.html</ref> Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game-based anime series.
* During the early episodes of the [[original series]], Japanese text was seen quite frequently on signs and buildings as well as objects. This usually resulted in the English dubbed version (and thus, foreign dubs based on it) painting out the text or converting it to English.
** During the [[Johto]] saga, the animators acknowledged the practice of painting out the Japanese text in the English dub. As a result, they used made-up symbols slightly similar to the Latin script instead of Japanese text, so it would be universal to all languages and would not have to be edited for the English localization.
** During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', the animators used a new style of symbols that appear to be blocky letters without a resemblance to any alphabet. However, most of these were still edited out for the English dub until ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.
** From ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and onward, a full writing system was specifically created for the anime. This language consists of three different fonts: a font used for titles, big signboards, etc.; another font used as less remarkable text accompanying the title font; and another font used only occasionally as a minor text filler. Each font has 26 unique symbols, and each one of those symbols represents a letter from the modern Latin script.
*** This text usually has meanings, as the symbols converted from the Latin script are written as romanized Japanese; sometimes its meanings are related to the context in which it is used, but sometimes the text contains hidden messages, like mentioning [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] in a magazine seen in [[BW001]].
*** This writing system would start being used occasionally in the {{pkmn|games}} as part of the scenario, starting from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

[[File:Early anime film frame.png|thumb|230px|Cel from [[EP093]]]]
The '''Pokémon {{wp|anime}}''', often referred to as just "the anime" by many [[Pokémon]] fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{formatnum:{{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 2 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire episodes}} - 1 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl episodes}} - 2 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon the Series: Black & White episodes}} - 4 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon the Series: XY episodes}} - 6 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes}} + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pokémon Journeys: The Series episodes}} - 5 - ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Anime seasons}} - 1) - 6}}}} main series episodes, {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Movies}} - 8}} movies, and a number of side stories, all focusing on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The anime debuted on April 1, 1997 in Japan; the English dub debuted on September 7, 1998 in North America.

The anime until ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' focused on the story of [[Ash Ketchum]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a [[Pokémon Master]], {{ashfr|his many friends}}, and most especially {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, whom he considers his partners and friends. Though the anime is ultimately based upon the {{pkmn|games}} and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on. The following series, ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'', features an all-new cast of characters and focuses on the story of two young Trainers named [[Liko]] and [[Roy]].

As of the end of March 2022, the anime has aired in 192<ref>[https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/en/aboutus/figures/ ''Pokémon in Figures'' - The Pokémon Company] (retrieved February 19, 2021)</ref> {{cat|Pokémon around the world|different countries and regions}} in over 30 [[Dub|languages]]. It is available on [[Netflix]] in 217 countries with different dubs and subtitles, and all countries except Japan and South Korea have at least English audio.<ref>[http://unogs.com/title/80186475 ''Pokémon the Series'' - Unofficial Netflix Online Global Search] (retrieved June 2, 2020)</ref>

[[The Pokémon Company International]] usually refers to the anime as the "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series". Some [[event Pokémon]] based on Pokémon from the anime have their location set as "the Pokémon cartoon" in the English version of the games. The television series is referred to as '''''Pokémon the Series''''' (Japanese: '''テレビアニメ「ポケットモンスター」シリーズ''' ''TV Anime "Pocket Monsters" Series''), although this typically does not include the Pokémon movies.

==Overview==
For the first 26 years of the anime, Ash was the central character, making his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master known to all he meets. Though initially, he only became a Pokémon Trainer with the goal of beating his rival, [[Gary Oak]], the many Pokémon Ash met over his {{pkmn|journey}} showed him what being a Pokémon Master really is. Unlike most Trainers from Pallet, and indeed, unlike players of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Ash did not start his journey with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, as he arrived late to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to receive his [[starter Pokémon]]. Instead, Ash was given the only Pokémon Oak had left to give, a {{AP|Pikachu}} that did not enjoy being inside his {{i|Poké Ball}}. From there, Ash learned to treat his Pokémon as partners, earning Pikachu's trust by keeping him safe from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} he angered.

During his time as a protagonist, Ash journeyed across all eight of the regions that appear in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real-world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In the regions outside of [[Galar]], he battled against the local [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[Badge]]s, just like the players of the core series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a [[Pokémon League Conference|championship tournament]], rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his {{pkmn|journey}}, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, beginning with his journey in [[Hoenn]], he changed his strategy, and used only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to {{an|Dawn}} being that he wanted to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try.

Over the course of his run as the protagonist of the series, Ash had several {{AP|friends}} who traveled with him, typically across one region, and assisted him in his journey as much as he assisted in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joined him in the [[original series]], as did {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon Watcher]], joined Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but left him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and Dawn, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, joined Ash for the duration of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', respectively; in these series, he mentored them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looked up to Ash for the duration of ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire''. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} traveled with Ash in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. Inventor {{an|Clemont}}, his sister {{an|Bonnie}}, and Ash's childhood friend {{an|Serena}} travelrd with Ash in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. Like Max, Bonnie is too young to own Pokémon, but cared for her brother's {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', Ash attended the [[Pokémon School]] instead of traveling around the [[Alola]] region. As such, his new friends—{{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}—were not traveling companions but classmates. In his last series as the protagonist, ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Ash's sole new traveling companion was [[Goh]], a Trainer aiming to catch every Pokémon species in the {{pkmn|world}}, with his ultimate goal being to catch the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}.

''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]'' does not feature Ash as the protagonist, unlike the previous series, instead focusing on new protagonists named [[Liko]] and [[Roy]].

The anime is produced in Japan by [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]] in association with [[Shogakukan|ShoPro]] and [[JR Kikaku]] and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every week, with the exception of a four-month hiatus after the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] and a seven-week hiatus during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Until the Porygon incident, the show aired every Tuesday at 6:30 PM. The show returned afterwards at 7 PM on Thursdays. From April 7, 2016, to September 13, 2018, it instead began five minutes earlier at 6:55 PM on Thursdays. Since October 7, 2018 to September 29, 2020, the show aired each Sunday at 6 PM. From October 9, 2020, the show airs each Friday at 6:55 PM. Many fans consider the dialogue and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode.

In Japan, the anime is divided into eight [[series]]: ''[[Original series|Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Pocket Monsters Best Wishes]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY|Pocket Monsters XY]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon|Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon]]'', ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series|Pocket Monsters]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series|Pocket Monsters]]''. Outside of it, it has been divided into nine series: ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'', ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold & Silver]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon|Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon]]'', ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. The episodes are also further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Anime seasons}} - 1}}}}. This concept of a television season was first embraced by the Japanese source with the inclusion of an explicitly second season to ''Best Wishes''.

The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in some episodes, and most notably in movies. Many Pokémon that are implied to be violent or sinister in the games are also made to be less aggressive. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie}}
Since 1998 in Japan, and since 1999 in the US, a Pokémon movie has been released annually, most often focusing on a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]]. These films are almost always a large success in Japan, and remain at least somewhat successful in {{pmin|the United States}} and other countries, having been aired on television as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], with the first five movies receiving wide releases and later films occasionally receiving limited releases.

The movies are not considered by all people to be canon to the show, with some preferring to think of them occurring in an alternate timeline. This theory comes from the fact that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not seem to be profoundly affected in the show by the events of the movies, which tend to have a lot of peril and drama. Others, however, see the movies as being akin to [[filler episode]]s, as none of their [[party|parties]] change, and no [[Gym Leader]]s are defeated nor [[Pokémon Contest]]s won. This is presumably the correct interpretation, as not only have most of the events of the movies been referenced at least peripherally in the show, but also, several of the events of even ''major'' episodes have been forgotten by the writers of later episodes.

==Trivia==
* Animator [[Masaaki Iwane|Masāki Iwane]] 岩根正明 once stated that the anime was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] [[region]] [[S01|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070112132427/http://pokeani.com/news/2006_09/09-pokenews42.html</ref> Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game-based anime series.
* During the early episodes of the [[original series]], Japanese text was seen quite frequently on signs and buildings as well as objects. This usually resulted in the English dubbed version (and thus, foreign dubs based on it) painting out the text or converting it to English.
** During the [[Johto]] saga, the animators acknowledged the practice of painting out the Japanese text in the English dub. As a result, they used made-up symbols slightly similar to the Latin script instead of Japanese text, so it would be universal to all languages and would not have to be edited for the English localization.
** During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', the animators used a new style of symbols that appear to be blocky letters without a resemblance to any alphabet. However, most of these were still edited out for the English dub until ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.
** From ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and onward, a full writing system was specifically created for the anime. This language consists of three different fonts: a font used for titles, big signboards, etc.; another font used as less remarkable text accompanying the title font; and another font used only occasionally as a minor text filler. Each font has 26 unique symbols, and each one of those symbols represents a letter from the modern Latin script.
*** This text usually has meanings, as the symbols converted from the Latin script are written as romanized Japanese; sometimes its meanings are related to the context in which it is used, but sometimes the text contains hidden messages, like mentioning [[Jessie's Wobbuffet|Wobbuffet]] in a magazine seen in [[BW001]].
*** This writing system would start being used occasionally in the {{pkmn|games}} as part of the scenario, starting from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

A '''Pokémon movie''' is a theatrical film usually released in Japan in July, centering on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and following, as the {{pkmn|anime|main anime series}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]], and each has at least one hour of footage. Nine of the movies also have a [[Pikachu short]] that is shown before the main feature, and all of them have a {{cat|Movie manga adaptations|manga adaptation}}.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', based on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world locations]] outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the [[List of anime episodes|episodes]] aired on television, usually featuring Ash and his friends confronting antagonists who wish to use Pokémon for selfish purposes. Nearly every movie involves [[Legendary Pokémon]], and many of them debut a [[Mythical Pokémon]] belonging to the ongoing [[generation]] of the [[core series]] games, with [[List of event Pokémon distributions|event distributions]] for certain Pokémon featuring in the movie running concurrently.

To date, there have been 23 theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes. There has also been one live-action movie, ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''. Additionally, the miniseries ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' is a similar length to a movie when all of the episodes are combined.

==Release==
When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. In 2008, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as the {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film ''{{wp|Ponyo}}''. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], received {{wp|Wide release|wide theatrical releases}}, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} within a year of the Japanese premiere. Beginning with the dub of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', the movies typically premiere on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}}. ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' was the first movie to see its international premiere on a streaming platform with its February 2020 release on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Netflix}}.

The [[M13|thirteenth movie]] saw a {{wp|Limited release|limited theatrical release}} in the United States as part of the "Pokémon Black Version and White Version Mall Tour". On December 3 and 4, 2011, ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' received a limited commercial release in US theaters, making it the first movie since ''Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias'' to receive a commercial theatrical release. All of the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' movies have aired in theaters in Australia and New Zealand, with the ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies premiering there before the United States. ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' also received a limited theatrical run internationally on November 5 and 6, 2017. ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' was given a limited theatrical release starting on November 24, 2018.

==Titles==
The full titles of Pokémon movies typically begin with some variant of the phrase "Pokémon the Movie".

In English, from [[M14|the 14th movie]] onward, all full movie titles begin with "Pokémon the Movie". The first three movies—''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One]]'', and ''[[M03|Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''—also include some variant of the phrase in their titles.

In Japanese, all movies except those in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' begin with the phrase 「劇場版ポケットモンスター」 (''Pocket Monsters: Movie Version''). The ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies instead begin with the phrase 「ポケモン・ザ・ムービー」 (''Pokémon the Movie'').

==Relation to the main series==
Generally, Pokémon movies and long specials have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true [[canon]]. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the [[Legendary Pokémon]] are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[Aura]] abilities as well as Dawn's [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]], have in fact been referenced by the main series.

The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity. Finally, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' is the first Pokémon movie to be a remake, being a CGI retelling of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to have no impact on the main anime continuity, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' means that the events of the movie don't have much continuing impact on the series. However, as the series has progressed, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having only seen one previously in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', eventually culminating with characters from the aforementioned movie and its setting directly appearing in the main series in ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]''.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will normally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with more recent movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime.

[[Pokémon Origins]], which is not a movie but rather a miniseries, exists within its own canon separate from the main anime series.

A '''Pokémon movie''' is a theatrical film usually released in Japan in July, centering on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and following, as the {{pkmn|anime|main anime series}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]], and each has at least one hour of footage. Nine of the movies also have a [[Pikachu short]] that is shown before the main feature, and all of them have a {{cat|Movie manga adaptations|manga adaptation}}.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', based on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world locations]] outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the [[List of anime episodes|episodes]] aired on television, usually featuring Ash and his friends confronting antagonists who wish to use Pokémon for selfish purposes. Nearly every movie involves [[Legendary Pokémon]], and many of them debut a [[Mythical Pokémon]] belonging to the ongoing [[generation]] of the [[core series]] games, with [[List of event Pokémon distributions|event distributions]] for certain Pokémon featuring in the movie running concurrently.

To date, there have been 23 theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes. There has also been one live-action movie, ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''. Additionally, the miniseries ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' is a similar length to a movie when all of the episodes are combined.

==Release==
When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. In 2008, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as the {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film ''{{wp|Ponyo}}''. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], received {{wp|Wide release|wide theatrical releases}}, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} within a year of the Japanese premiere. Beginning with the dub of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', the movies typically premiere on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}}. ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' was the first movie to see its international premiere on a streaming platform with its February 2020 release on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Netflix}}.

The [[M13|thirteenth movie]] saw a {{wp|Limited release|limited theatrical release}} in the United States as part of the "Pokémon Black Version and White Version Mall Tour". On December 3 and 4, 2011, ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' received a limited commercial release in US theaters, making it the first movie since ''Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias'' to receive a commercial theatrical release. All of the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' movies have aired in theaters in Australia and New Zealand, with the ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies premiering there before the United States. ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' also received a limited theatrical run internationally on November 5 and 6, 2017. ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' was given a limited theatrical release starting on November 24, 2018.

==Titles==
The full titles of Pokémon movies typically begin with some variant of the phrase "Pokémon the Movie".

In English, from [[M14|the 14th movie]] onward, all full movie titles begin with "Pokémon the Movie". The first three movies—''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One]]'', and ''[[M03|Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''—also include some variant of the phrase in their titles.

In Japanese, all movies except those in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' begin with the phrase 「劇場版ポケットモンスター」 (''Pocket Monsters: Movie Version''). The ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies instead begin with the phrase 「ポケモン・ザ・ムービー」 (''Pokémon the Movie'').

==Long specials==
These special episodes do not appear in theaters in either the original or the dub, but run longer than the half hour that normal episodes fill. Due to this, they are often considered television ''Pokémon'' movies, not counting towards the running total.

As Team Galactic's actions cause a {{p|Heatran}} to begin violently rampaging, Ash, Goh, Dawn and Cynthia join forces with {{an|Brock}} to thwart the scheme and stop Heatran before it causes a catastrophic disaster that could devastate [[Mount Coronet]] and the rest of [[Sinnoh]].

This special was formatted as a single feature-length movie when released outside Japan and [[Pokémon in Greater China|Hong Kong]].

==Relation to the main series==
Generally, Pokémon movies and long specials have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true [[canon]]. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the [[Legendary Pokémon]] are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[Aura]] abilities as well as Dawn's [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]], have in fact been referenced by the main series.

The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity. Finally, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' is the first Pokémon movie to be a remake, being a CGI retelling of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to have no impact on the main anime continuity, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' means that the events of the movie don't have much continuing impact on the series. However, as the series has progressed, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having only seen one previously in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', eventually culminating with characters from the aforementioned movie and its setting directly appearing in the main series in ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]''.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will normally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with more recent movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime.

[[Pokémon Origins]], which is not a movie but rather a miniseries, exists within its own canon separate from the main anime series.

Shadab Kun Alt: /* Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures */ new section

I figure those should all have their own pages with a list of episodes on them and descriptions for the movies but I don't have time to do that right now. If you disagree with the formatting, just revert it back to the way it was or change it. -Greengiant

Oh, I agree. Definitely, each season should have its own respective page, along with each movie.

==Continuity==

Are the shows considered to be what actually happened?? (Please say YES!!)--[[User:Bly1993|Bly1993]] 14:37, 3 January 2006 (CST)

This is more of a list Pokemon themes, rather than about the anime.
:Well it's not like we need to actually explain what anime is. It is kinda assumed that people aren't that stupid as to not know that. And sure, it may be a list of the different themes used during the different series (usually, each Japanese theme corresponds to an English one, while each English one corresponds to a season, and each movie corresponds to each season), but what do you want us to do, put the entire list of the episodes, what happens in them and everything on the page? We link to the separate pages for them all. It's a list of everything in the anime aside from the characters, which are more than easily accessed from the page.

Isn't Pokémon the 2nd longest running television show to still air new episodes? (Supased only by the Simpsons, which first aired in 1989) [[User:ShinyPikachu|ShinyPika <3 ALS]] 18:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Apparently CN decided to screw all of us Pokemon watchers to watch the series at 7 EST in the morning, which is clearly out of hand.

== Usual Cycle ==

How long is a usual cycle of a region?
For example...
Kanto region conquering took 2 years to finish the anime series. (Japan's series, anyway). I think Sinnoh took 4 years? Hoenn + Battle frontier is probably 3 years.
Since Ash already has 4 badges in Unova, how long will it take to finish 4 more battles, the fight of a lifetime vs. "Said team villains", and lose to someone in the Pokemon League? By looking at patterns. It's been about 7 months since airing, hasn't it? [[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 04:54, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:Scratch that, 13 months, September 23 or so, 2010.[[User:Chocos0|Chocos0]] 04:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

== Japanese vs. Dubs ==

I know that most of you won't agree with me on this, but I think we should incorporate both the moves of Pokemon shown in the Dub, and in the Original version. Because so many people will be watching so many different dubs, it is important that we provide the appropriate information for all different countries' versions. It would be extremely simple just to label some moves in the (country)'s dub only section.{{unsigned|Confusion}}

==Fragment==
Excuse me, please. Could you answer my question, from which episode this fragment? Thanks in advance. I'll delete this post after receiving a answer, thanks. [http://serebii.ru/pokemon/t/sc8f3.jpg This fragment]. [[User:Psyduck123|Psyduck123]] 13:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

== Correction? ==

In the area that lists each anime episode, it says that EP081 was the first episode in the Orange Islands saga, but this episode was actually the last Indigo Plateau episode as the Indigo Plateau theme song plays at the beginning of the episode instead of the Orange Islands theme. The first Orange Islands episode was actually EP082 as this was the first episode that featured the Orange Islands theme. I just brought this up because I'm not sure exactly how to upload pictures to Bulbapedia yet, so I wouldn't be able to properly correct the error. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 02:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC))

== Best Wishes series ==

How come for Best Wishes & Rival Destinies, they are made bigger? I understand why this happens for AG & DP, but BW has the same amount of "seasons" for the Japan & US. In AG & DP, there was always one extra, explaining why one part was made bigger. Shouldn't the BW sections all be the same size? [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 16:57, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Be an Arrow! ==
Why do we have to consider ''Be an Arrow! 2013'' a different opening than ''Be an Arrow!''? We don't consider different versions of other openings in this list, so I think it's unnecesary. The same goes for *deep breath* '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2 Episode N''', since *deep breath* '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2 Episode N''' is not a different season, but part of '''Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2''' as well.

== Structure of Dub Broadcast ==

In Season 1 + 2, there is a post-intro segment, with the Pokemon logo appearing for a short time. This probably makes me believe right after the intro it cuts to commercial break them the episode begins. Also, I was wondering if during the Kids' WB days of Pokemon it was also aring on Fox Kids (as a block on the Fox stations in the U.S., from [[EP044]] of Season 1 through Season 4), then on FoxBox/4KidsTV (4Kids' block on Fox stations lasting from Season 5-8)...

==8 series==
The official Japanese Pokemon website (https://www.pokemon.co.jp/anime/tv/#anc6) lays the anime out into ''eight'' series: the original series, Orange Islands, Gold & Silver, Advanced Generation, Diamond & Pearl, Best Wishes, XY, and Sun & Moon. --[[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]] ([[User talk:Master Lucario|talk]]) 16:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)--[[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]] ([[User talk:Master Lucario|talk]]) 16:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

== Other anime series ==

Is this page about the Pokémon anime series, or about Pokémon animation as a whole?

It is broadly structured as if it is specifically about the Pokémon anime series only, but then has the section "Other anime series", which covers various Pokémon animations that are not part of the Pokémon anime. (The anime navigation template even links to it!) And then there is the "Variety shows" section, which covers shows that are not animated, but are somewhat related to the Pokémon anime series.

In my opinion, the "Other anime series" section should be removed and replaced with "See also" links, so that this page can be exclusively about the Pokémon anime series. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:42, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
:Basically, the distinction I'm trying to draw is the same as the distinction between the [[Pokémon manga]] page (a page about the medium as a whole) and [[Pokémon Adventures]] (a page about a specific series within that medium). In the case of the anime, there is one particular series that overwhelmingly dominates in that medium, but it's not the only Pokémon series in that medium (at least, not anymore). Perhaps we should create a {{redlink|Pokémon animation}} page, to cover the medium as a whole? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

::Alternatively, could this be a landing page for the medium (like [[Pokémon manga]]) and then have off-shoot pages for [[Pokémon the Series]], [[Pokémon movies]], [[Pokémon Origins]], [[Pokémon Evolutions]] etc? - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 12:19, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

== Future ==

With today's announcement, I think it will be good to discuss how some things (and the anime section as a whole) on this page will work. It will take a lot of work.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 11:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

== Proposed move ==

So, as it stands, there are still a few details about the future of the TV show that we aren't sure about yet, but one thing we are sure about is that there are now multiple animes happening for the Pokémon franchise, and we need to start reckoning with that. The first step is having a landing page for all of these different animes collectively, and distinguishing when we are talking about "Pokémon anime" as a general item like [[Pokémon manga]], and when we are talking about the main TV series. The first step is moving this page, with all of its history, to [[Pokémon the Series]] (since that's how this page has been treated so far). This has been discussed at length on the discord, and if I remember correctly, this part has been pretty agreed on, so let's hear out any final opinions on this step, and figure out the next steps for this lengthy process.

As a formality, I will also state '''Agree''' for the proposed move. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 15:48, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:I '''Agree''' as well. Per the discord discussion, I've started up a draft in my userspace here: [[User:Boblers/Pokémon the Series]].
:This draft is also assuming that all of the content relevant to Pokemon the Series (PTS) should also be listed, or at least links should be provided to dedicated listings. Things like movies, special episodes, etc that use PTS's world and characters, while not strictly taking the form of TV episodes. This could act as a sort of hub page for PTS content, as well as help to distinguish which works do or do not tie in to PTS. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 16:11, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::Otherwise, wouldn't oppose this, but I'm just wondering how all the <nowiki>{{pkmn|anime}}</nowiki> links would be handled. There's so many of them all over the site, and most people who come to Bulbapedia to search for stuff about Pokémon anime will use the term to refer to the main series. I'd personally probably want to keep the "Pokémon anime" page dedicated to the main series and give all the web anime (as they've officially been referred as) their own (sub) page. "Pokémon the Series" is an official term, yes, but not what most people would use to search for the main series anime on this site. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::A possible solution for this problem could be keeping the "Pokémon the Series" content on the "Pokémon anime" page and creating instead a separate "Pokémon animation" page for all the various Pokémon animated productions in general. --[[User:Ricbolog1310|Ricbolog1310]] ([[User talk:Ricbolog1310|talk]]) 19:46, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::::Going the "animation" and "anime" route could be a good middle-ground solution, if we're really not comfortable with using the PTS name. But I still think PTS is more intuitive. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 20:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::Per the concern that there's a lot of relinking involved, we can easily use Bulbabot to streamline that process, so it's a non issue.
:::::As for having the different sets of information on "Pokémon anime" and "Pokémon animation", we generally avoid assigning arbitrary definitions to generic terms, as it frequently doesn't make any sense to people actually reading the website. We could certainly still have "Pokémon anime" redirect to [[Pokémon the Series]] if we needed to, with a hat note pointing to a generic "Pokémon animation" page, but we shouldn't have a generic title referring to a specific item since that's one of the problems we should be fixing with this change (see [[#Other anime series]] for more details. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 13:15, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::I think Maverick Nate's latest solution makes the most sense. Keeping this page as a redirect to "Pokémon the Series" and creating the all-encompassing article at "Pokémon animation" would prevent readers who don't know about the move from finding themselves on a different page than expected and would also prevent relinking.　[[User:Kauli|Kᴀᴜʟɪ]] 〔[[User talk:Kauli|Tᴀʟᴋ]][[Special:NewSection/User talk:Kauli|+]]〕 20:49, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::::I don't think I'd personally like the move of such a long-established article being moved when it would result in people searching for a redirect page a lot of the time. Couldn't other anime/animations just be split into their own category, like "other anime" or "other animations"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 01:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Isn't that exactly what redirects are for though? To redirect people to an article when they search for an alternative name? The article for every Pokémon species has a redirect, as people aren't searching "[[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)]]". Most people would search for core series games without the word "Version" and we have redirects for that. The articles for anime episodes are located at their [[epicode]]s, so the episode titles have redirects as well. I don't see how people searching for a redirect page would be an issue when we already have that for every Pokémon species and every anime episode.　[[User:Kauli|Kᴀᴜʟɪ]] 〔[[User talk:Kauli|Tᴀʟᴋ]][[Special:NewSection/User talk:Kauli|+]]〕 04:23, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
:IMO, splitting "anime" and "animation" to different articles would still be a preferable option to renaming a long-established article. "Anime" is such an easily recognizable term, used across the internet far more often than "Pokémon the Series". --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:30, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
::If I could input my 2 cents on the matter. You guys usually try to use the most official name when naming a page. For example, the first Pokémon game is officially called "Pokémon Red and Blue Versions" but most people just simply say "Pokémon Red and Blue". I've seen people call Pokémon Adventures simply the "Pokémon manga" because it's the most well-known Pokémon manga, but the page is called "Pokémon Adventures" because that is its official name. Even right now, you guys are debating on changing the name of "Starter Pokémon" to the more official term "First Partner Pokémon", because that is the term that has been used more recently. The "Pokémon anime" is technically not even its real name, its official name is "Pokémon the series", with "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series" also being names used by the Pokémon Company itself. Some in-game events even called the main anime "the Pokémon Cartoon". So I'm all for making the main show its own page named "Pokémon the series", and keeping this page as "Pokémon anime". Plus it's not like "Pokémon the series" wouldn't be near the top of the "Pokémon anime" page, fans will still be able to find the main show when they search Pokémon anime.

[[File:Pokémon the Movie logo.png|thumb|300px|Pokémon the Movie]]
A '''Pokémon movie''' is a theatrical film usually released in Japan in July, centering on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and following, as the {{pkmn|anime|main anime series}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]], and each has at least one hour of footage. Nine of the movies also have a [[Pikachu short]] that is shown before the main feature, and all of them have a {{cat|Movie manga adaptations|manga adaptation}}.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', based on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real-world locations]] outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the [[List of anime episodes|episodes]] aired on television, usually featuring Ash and his friends confronting antagonists who wish to use Pokémon for selfish purposes. Nearly every movie involves [[Legendary Pokémon]], and many of them debut a [[Mythical Pokémon]] belonging to the ongoing [[generation]] of the [[core series]] games, with [[List of event Pokémon distributions|event distributions]] for certain Pokémon featuring in the movie running concurrently.

To date, there have been 23 theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes. There has also been one live-action movie, ''{{mov|Detective Pikachu}}''. Additionally, the miniseries ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' is a similar length to a movie when all of the episodes are combined.

==Release==
When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. In 2008, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as the {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film ''{{wp|Ponyo}}''. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], received {{wp|Wide release|wide theatrical releases}}, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} within a year of the Japanese premiere. Beginning with the dub of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', the movies typically premiere on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Disney XD}}. ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' was the first movie to see its international premiere on a streaming platform with its February 2020 release on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Netflix}}.

The [[M13|thirteenth movie]] saw a {{wp|Limited release|limited theatrical release}} in the United States as part of the "Pokémon Black Version and White Version Mall Tour". On December 3 and 4, 2011, ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' received a limited commercial release in US theaters, making it the first movie since ''Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias'' to receive a commercial theatrical release. All of the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' movies have aired in theaters in Australia and New Zealand, with the ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies premiering there before the United States. ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' also received a limited theatrical run internationally on November 5 and 6, 2017. ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'' was given a limited theatrical release starting on November 24, 2018.

==Titles==
The full titles of Pokémon movies typically begin with some variant of the phrase "Pokémon the Movie".

In English, from [[M14|the 14th movie]] onward, all full movie titles begin with "Pokémon the Movie". The first three movies—''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', ''[[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One]]'', and ''[[M03|Pokémon 3: The Movie - Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''—also include some variant of the phrase in their titles.

In Japanese, all movies except those in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' begin with the phrase 「劇場版ポケットモンスター」 (''Pocket Monsters: Movie Version''). The ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' movies instead begin with the phrase 「ポケモン・ザ・ムービー」 (''Pokémon the Movie'').

==Long specials==
These special episodes do not appear in theaters in either the original or the dub, but run longer than the half hour that normal episodes fill. Due to this, they are often considered television ''Pokémon'' movies, not counting towards the running total.

==Relation to the main series==
Generally, Pokémon movies and long specials have little to no impact on the overall plotline of the anime and fans will argue as to whether or not they are considered true [[canon]]. Evidence going either way is sparse, with many details, such as the fact that {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} having met {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' going unmentioned when the [[Legendary Pokémon]] are seen again in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''. Other details introduced in movies, such as Ash's [[Aura]] abilities as well as Dawn's [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]], have in fact been referenced by the main series.

The three ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' movies are unique exceptions in these regards: ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' is an alternate retelling of Ash's early journey in a continuity completely independent of the main series, with the following movie, ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', being an original story also set within that continuity. Finally, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'' is the first Pokémon movie to be a remake, being a CGI retelling of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

It is possible that early on, the movies were intended to have no impact on the main anime continuity, as Mewtwo's erasure of everyone's memories at the conclusion of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' means that the events of the movie don't have much continuing impact on the series. However, as the series has progressed, more references to past movies have been made, with Ash recognizing a {{p|Latios}} immediately in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', despite having only seen one previously in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', eventually culminating with characters from the aforementioned movie and its setting directly appearing in the main series in ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]''.

Due to this inconsistency, it will be noted in the movies' individual articles when a reference has been made to them in the main anime. The placement of the movies in the anime timeline will normally be between the episodes aired before and after the date of the movie's Japanese premiere, though often with more recent movies, this placement can vary with regard to events in the main anime.

[[Pokémon Origins]], which is not a movie but rather a miniseries, exists within its own canon separate from the main anime series.

==Trivia==
* This opening marks the first time a single dub season has had more than one opening song when going by the home video definition.
** While [[Pokémon Theme]] and [[Pokémon World (song)|Pokémon World]] share the season title of "Pokémon" in their openings, their seasons were retroactively given different names.
* {{Tracey}} is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to not appear in this opening. While the scene where he appeared in a photo from its [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master#Opening animation: JN OP 5|Japanese equivalent]] is used in this opening, the photo with Tracey is obscured due to the scene not lasting as long as in the Japanese opening.
* As of this opening, [[Ash's Scraggy]], {{TP|Ash|Naganadel}} and {{TP|Ash|Melmetal}} are the only ones of Ash's Pokémon, pre-evolve or current, who do not appear in any of the English openings since their debut in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black and White]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon]]'' respectively.
===Errors===
* The opening credits erroneously credit {{jwp|安田周平|Shūhei Yasuda}} as "Series Construction" instead of "Character Design".

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

[[File:Pocket Monsters 2019 logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered between November 17, 2019 and March 24, 2023 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and between June 12, 2020 and September 8, 2023 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode mini series focused on Ash and Pikachu which takes place after the events of those episodes called '''''Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター''' ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'') was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref>

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

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retains its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:
** To be dubbed by [[Iyuno-SDI Group]] (formerly known as Iyuno Media Group) and Goldcrest Post.
** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' where {{Ash}}'s outfit is not directly influenced by the male player character's outfit for the concurrent [[generation]].
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' where Ash recalls any of the Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to his [[party]].
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' where {{TRT}} uses Pokémon they had caught in previous series aside from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' where Pokémon have rejoined Ash's regular rotation after leaving it in a prior series.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' in which the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[starter Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the concurrent generation in the anime concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** Other than the [[Original series|original one]] to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to concerns from the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a Japanese [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' to feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the concurrent generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** Since the original series to not have the names of the generation's first [[core series]] games in its title.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series with Ash as the protagonist in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation and was a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil]] Pokémon.
** Ash does not acquire any {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Ash has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] one of his Pokémon.
** Ash does not have a new female traveling companion.
** Ash does not have a new traveling companion that originates from the games.
** One of Ash's friends catches a Pokémon before Ash does.
** One of Ash's male traveling companions owns a [[Pokédex]].
** Ash doesn't catch any starter Pokémon.
** Ash does not participate in a [[Pokémon League]].
** Ash's journey does not tie in with the journey from the games.
** Jessie doesn't catch any Pokémon.

*** This is also the first series where Ash participates in multiple Full Battles without losing any of them.
** Ash travels with traveling companions from previous series since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''.
** Special episodes feature Ash and Pikachu in person.
* The [[Pokémon Shiritori|first Japanese ending theme]] of this series was used for 70 episodes, longer than any other Japanese ending.
* Ash obtains less Pokémon that debuted in the generation that the anime covers than any other series, obtaining two individual species from [[Generation VIII]].
** Additionally, Ash obtains more Pokémon species that debuted in previous generations than he did from [[Generation VIII]].
* This series features the most of Ash's former traveling companions from previous series out of any series, with all the previous companions making a physical appearance.
* This series contains the least amount of {{pkmn|movie}}s out of any series, with only one.
** This series also contains the least amount of [[List of Japanese ending themes|endings]] introduced in a single series, with only two.
** This is also the only series where the number of Pokémon movies is not equal to the number of seasons of the series.
* This series has the most regular broadcasting clip shows out of any series, at 4.
* This is the final series to feature Ash and Pikachu as main protagonists and the [[Team Rocket trio]] as main antagonists.

Talk:JNS05

Shadab Kun Alt: /* Source */ new section

== Why is this JNS05? ==

Shouldn't this episode be considered a special episode outside of JN? This episode isn't really a part of that series, being set in the alternate universe. [[User:Ertym06|Ertym06]] ([[User talk:Ertym06|talk]]) 12:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Ertym06
:The special aired during the journeys series so is considered a Journeys special, it isn't long enough to be a Movie so it counts as JNS05.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 12:55, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
::Additionally, both Journeys and this special use the same "Pocket Monsters" logo (minus the Japanese text that says "The Distant Blue Sky" right under it). [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 13:02, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

== Placement ==
While this special did indeed air in Japan between JN136 and JN137, I don't think the epicodes for those should appear in the "PrevNext" section as it's not part of the main series continuity. Espicially since JNS01-04, which unlike JNS05 are still set in that continuity, don't have links for JN093-94-95 outside of the trivia section.--[[User:Ricbolog1310|Ricbolog1310]] ([[User talk:Ricbolog1310|talk]]) 12:30, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
:I think we should wait and see how the dub handles it. If the dub releases it as part of Season 25 which could happen due to it being easier to distribute internationally than releasing it as a separately-licensed product to dub and distribute, we'll keep it that way for sure. If it doesn't, the Mega Evolution Specials are listed as part of the PrevNext navigation due to being central to the series' plot. In the end, it'll be up to the staff to decide what to do with this episode. [[User:TheEliteMaster|TheEliteMaster]] ([[User talk:TheEliteMaster|talk]]) 08:33, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

==fourth time mention of father==
Should we also list the first three times? Ash's article lists [[EP002]] as a reference so I assume that's the first, just not sure 2nd or 3rd. [[User:Tyciol|ty]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 16:49, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
:a list of those would sure make sense on a page dedicated to his dad..[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 21:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

== Source ==

Is there any source regarding the English title and air date of this episode? [[User:Shadab Kun Alt|Shadab Kun Alt]] ([[User talk:Shadab Kun Alt|talk]]) 13:56, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

[[File:Season 23 logo.png|thumb|English logo]]
[[File:Pocket Monsters 2019 logo.png|thumb|Japanese logo for ''Pocket Monsters'']]
'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and on June 12, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode mini series focused on Ash and Pikachu which takes place after the events of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''Journeys'' called ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'' (ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター) was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref>

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

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retains its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:
** To be dubbed by [[Iyuno-SDI Group]] (formerly known as Iyuno Media Group) and Goldcrest Post.
** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' where {{Ash}}'s outfit is not directly influenced by the male player character's outfit for the concurrent [[generation]].
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' where Ash recalls any of the Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to his [[party]].
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' where {{TRT}} uses Pokémon they had caught in previous series aside from {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' where Pokémon have rejoined Ash's regular rotation after leaving it in a prior series.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' in which the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[starter Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the concurrent generation in the anime concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** Other than the [[Original series|original one]] to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to concerns from the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a Japanese [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' to feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the concurrent generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** Since the original series to not have the names of the generation's first [[core series]] games in its title.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series with Ash as the protagonist in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation and was a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil]] Pokémon.
** Ash does not acquire any {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Ash has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] one of his Pokémon.
** Ash does not have a new female traveling companion.
** Ash does not have a new traveling companion that originates from the games.
** One of Ash's friends catches a Pokémon before Ash does.
** One of Ash's male traveling companions owns a [[Pokédex]].

*** This is also the first series where Ash participates in multiple Full Battles without losing any of them.
** Ash travels with traveling companions from previous series since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''.
** Special episodes feature Ash and Pikachu in person.

* Ash obtains less Pokémon that debuted in the generation that the anime covers than any other series, obtaining two individual species from [[Generation VIII]].
** Additionally, Ash obtains more Pokémon species that debuted in previous generations than he did from [[Generation VIII]].
* This series features the most of Ash's former traveling companions from previous series out of any series, with all the previous companions making a physical appearance.
* This series contains the least amount of {{pkmn|movie}}s out of any series, with only one.
** This series also contains the least amount of [[List of Japanese ending themes|endings]] introduced in a single series, with only two.
** This is also the only series where the number of Pokémon movies is not equal to the number of seasons of the series.
* This series has the most regular broadcasting clip shows out of any series, at 4.
* This is the final series to feature Ash and Pikachu as main protagonists and the [[Team Rocket trio]] as main antagonists.

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 three series, ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' began with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}} while wearing a new set of [[List of clothing (anime)|clothes]], 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 ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. [[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!

==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 featuring {{Ash}} as the protagonist 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 [[starter Pokémon]] that Ash and his friends obtain all come directly from the [[region]]'s major [[Pokémon Professor]].
** Ash travels to the new [[region]] with a character he met in the previous series: he traveled to [[Kalos]] with [[Alexa]].
** Ash keeps three Pokémon of the same [[type]] in his team at one time, with three {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Ash releases a starter Pokémon.
** {{MTR}} does not fall in love with a human or another Pokémon.
** None of Ash's Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] appear, nor have they been mentioned.
*** [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Totodile}} do not 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.
** {{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 episodes]].
** 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 Pokemon 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 {{wp|Cross-dressing|cross-dress}}.
** 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]].
* ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' shares a number of similarities with ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'':
** Ash does not own the region's {{type|Fire}} starter 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 starter 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 Pokemon'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}} starter Pokémon: May starts with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Serena starts with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}. Both of their starter 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 starter 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 anime, with 140 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 main anime continuity. An alternate continuity would be established with ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and continued in future movies outside of ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
** Ash's goal is to collect [[Badge|Gym Badges]].
* This is the anime series that introduces the fewest Pokémon from an upcoming generation, with only one.

'''''Pokémon Journeys: The Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the seventh [[series]] of the [[Pokémon anime]]. This anime series is based on the events of all the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, including the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}. It follows ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' and was succeeded by ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''. It premiered on November 17, 2019 in Japan (although the first episode had a special screening two days earlier) and on June 12, 2020 in {{pmin|the United States}}.

The series features "double protagonists" [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their respective partners {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}. Similar to ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon'', Ash is based in a single location, alongside Goh, and together they travel around the {{pkmn|world}}, specifically all [[region]]s that have appeared in the [[core series]] (from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]), and meet {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} living in each region while pursuing their respective goals. Ash continues his pursuit of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]] by entering the [[World Coronation Series]], with the hopes of one day having an official match with the reigning Monarch, {{an|Leon}}. Goh, having had a fateful encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six, dreams of one day {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the [[Mythical Pokémon]], and is currently filling his [[Pokédex]] and participating in the [[Project Mew]] research project in the hopes that they will get him closer to his dream. The series also features as supporting characters a young girl named [[Chloe]], and her father [[Professor Cerise]], who runs the [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]].

As with the previous three series of the anime, this series introduces a new art style. For instance, Ash's eyes (both the irises and the overall eyes) are drawn larger, and {{TRT}}'s eyes are drawn sharper than in ''Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon''. Overall, the characters are drawn more similarly based on Ken Sugimori's more recent character art. Characters are also consistently drawn with fingernails, like in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

''Pokémon Journeys'' features the return of several characters that have appeared over the course of the anime, from main characters (like {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Dawn}}, for example) to some recurring characters (like [[Gary Oak]], {{an|Korrina}}, [[Butch]], and [[Cassidy]], among others), far more than any of the previous series. In addition to this, Pokémon Journeys concludes several storylines created over the years within the anime, such as the story of [[Mohn]], Butch and Cassidy's rivalry with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], and Ash's story with {{an|Cynthia}}.

''Pokémon Journeys'' is the first anime series to feature episodes split into two different story segments, something that started in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!]]'' and continued with ''[[JN041|Pikachu Translation Check... / Up to Your Neck!]]'' and ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll… / Eyes on the Goal!]]''. These episodes have a more comical and "loose" plot from the main anime story. This is also the first anime series to have special episodes released directly for streaming, with a four-part arc related to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], titled [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], released directly on Japan's [[Prime Video]] service.<ref>https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2022/01/220114_a01.html</ref>

After airing the first 136 episodes of ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' in Japan, on December 16, 2022, an eleven-episode mini series focused on Ash and Pikachu which takes place after the events of the ''Pocket Monsters'' arc of ''Journeys'' called ''Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master'' (ポケットモンスターめざせポケモンマスター) was announced worldwide.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_VMGv2kKEI&t=7</ref>

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

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name for this [[series]] retains its [[Original series|original title]]: ''Pocket Monsters''.
* The design for the Japanese logo of the series is shared with [[M20]] and [[M21]], which are not [[canon]] with the main series.
** This also makes it the first series logo to not be colored in any shade of green, being completely blue instead. It is also the first one without any 3D perspective, having a flat 2D design.
* [[Netflix]] provides an epilepsy warning at the beginning of each episode after the TV rating chyron, thus marking the second time that the warning has been used outside of Japan, the first time being ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.
* This is the first series:
** To be dubbed by [[Iyuno-SDI Group]] (formerly known as Iyuno Media Group) and Goldcrest Post.
** To be set in more than two game-original [[region]]s.
** Since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' where {{Ash}}'s outfit is not directly influenced by the male player character's outfit for the concurrent [[generation]].

** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' in which the final episode ends with the message "Next Time... A New Beginning!"
** In which [[Goh|a main character]] other than Ash catches all [[starter Pokémon]] of the current generation.
** In which the concurrent generation in the anime concludes after the release of the following generation's initial games.
** Other than the [[Original series|original one]] to be put on an extended hiatus; in this case, it was brought on by a production shutdown due to concerns from the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
** To feature main series episodes where none of the main characters make a physical appearance.
*** It is also the first series to feature main series episodes where Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} are completely absent.
** To feature [[M23|a movie]] that is released outside of July. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
** In which a main character catches a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** In which two protagonists catch the same Pokémon; with Ash and Goh each catching a {{p|Farfetch'd}}, though Goh catches the Kantonian form, while Ash catches the Galarian form.
** In which a main character owns both a Pokémon's regular form and its regional form.
** To have a Japanese [[One, Two, Three|opening theme]] with more than two different versions.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature {{DL|Clip show|regular broadcasting clip shows|regular broadcasting clip shows}}.
** Since ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'' to feature a generic eyecatch rather than a guessing segment.
** In which [[Pokémon Egg]]s are given generic designs, contradicting their designs from previous series.
** In which the concurrent generation's regional {{pkmn|Professor}} does not debut in the first two episodes.
** In which the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segments from the original Japanese version are retained in the dub.
** In which the "To Be Continued" text is removed in the dub; it is only maintained in the official YouTube upload of the [[JN001|first episode]], but was retained on ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]''.
** Since the original series to not have the names of the generation's first [[core series]] games in its title.
** In which an event-only location in the games is visited by the protagonists.
* This is the only series with Ash as the protagonist in which:
** The first Pokémon Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} was not introduced in the current generation and was a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** Ash catches a {{type|Ghost}}, {{pkmn2|baby}}, [[regional form]], and [[Fossil]] Pokémon.
** Ash does not acquire any {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
** Ash has [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] one of his Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the September 22, 2022 press release announcing the Netflix premiere date in the United States, a statement that the season would contain "approximately 54 episodes" was included in error.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220922153026/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/POKEMON-ULTIMATE-JOURNEYS-THE-SERIES-TO-PREMIERE-OCTOBER-21-EXCLUSIVEL “POKÉMON ULTIMATE JOURNEYS: THE SERIES” TO PREMIERE OCTOBER 21 EXCLUSIVELY ON NETFLIX IN THE US - The Pokémon Company North America Official Press Site] (archived; retrieved September 22, 2022)</ref><ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/POKEMON-ULTIMATE-JOURNEYS-THE-SERIES-TO-PREMIERE-OCTOBER-21-EXCLUSIVEL “POKÉMON ULTIMATE JOURNEYS: THE SERIES” TO PREMIERE OCTOBER 21 EXCLUSIVELY ON NETFLIX IN THE US - The Pokémon Company North America Official Press Site] (retrieved September 23, 2022)</ref> The same 54 episode figure was also mentioned in an August 16, 2022 article by Toy World Magazine reporting on the announcement of the POP premiere date in the United Kingdom.<ref>[https://toyworldmag.co.uk/pop-to-air-new-pokemon-ultimate-journeys-the-series/ Pop to air new Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series - Toy World Magazine]</ref>

* Unlike the previous two seasons, the Ultimate Journeys logo that appears during the [[With You|opening theme]] and the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment includes the phrase "The Series".
* This is the first season to have more than one opening theme song (first since [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]], if going by television definition).
