For Japanese episodes, this distinction is made instead of [[season]]s (although there are other subdivisions, such as ''Episode Orange Islands'' and ''Best Wishes! Season 2''). In the dub, this distinction was not properly made until ''[[S17|Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', which introduced a name for the series, being followed by some older series retroactively receiving similar names in home video box sets and video-on-demand releases (such as [[iTunes]] and [[Netflix]]). With the exception of ''[[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]]'' (only when using standard season divisions), dub seasons never contain episodes from more than one series, being cut off at series divisions.

If you were looking for the series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, see Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Series.
Pokémon the Series

A series (Japanese: シリーズ series) of the anime is a collection of episodes that corresponds roughly to a specific generation of games.

For Japanese episodes, this distinction is made instead of seasons (although there are other subdivisions, such as Episode Orange Islands and Best Wishes! Season 2). In the dub, this distinction was not properly made until Pokémon the Series: XY, which introduced a name for the series, being followed by some older series retroactively receiving similar names in home video box sets and video-on-demand releases (such as iTunes and Netflix). With the exception of Pokémon: Advanced (only when using standard season divisions), dub seasons never contain episodes from more than one series, being cut off at series divisions.

On Bulbapedia, the episodes in each series are divided from other series by their episode code. Episodes in the original series are denoted by EP, those in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire by AG, those in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl by DP, those in Pokémon the Series: Black & White by BW, those in Pokémon the Series: XY by XY, those in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon by SM, and those in Pokémon Journeys: The Series by JN.
