The anime is divided into series and storyline arcs, which are broadcast yearly on networks as "seasons" in the United States airings of the English dub (and subsequently other countries around the world airing the English dub or a version that dubs from it wherever such dubs are distributed), with each season usually being 52 episodes or a similar length to fill in a whole year of broadcasting.

There are also various films, including specials not included in the official count and a spin-off series. As it is based on the Pokémon game series, the anime deals with a lot of the same material such as locations, Pokémon battles, Gym Leaders, and Badges.
