This is a list of side story episodes of the anime, which occasionally aired instead of a rerun from the main anime series during an episode of the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station in Japan. When dubbed, these side stories became part of Pokémon Chronicles, alongside The Legend of Thunder! special and several Pikachu shorts.

Unlike the main anime, Ash Ketchum is not featured in a central role; many of the episodes feature his friends in an expanded role, however. The Team Rocket members featured are usually Butch and Cassidy, in place of the usual members Ash faces.
