The '''Pokémon {{wp|anime}}''', often referred to as just "the anime" by [[Pokémon]] fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{formatnum:{{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 2 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Advanced Generation series episodes}} - 1 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Diamond & Pearl series episodes}} + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Best Wishes series episodes}} - 2 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:XY series episodes}} + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Sun & Moon series episodes}} - ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Anime seasons}} - 1) - 6}}}} main series episodes, {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Movies}} - 7}} movies, and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The great majority of these focus on [[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.

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 movies 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 Cartoon Network as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], and having theatrical releases during the first five seasons.
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.
