This is a list of the various series and the American seasons of the [[Pokémon Anime|Pokémon]], or {{nihongo|Pocket Monsters|ポケットモンスター|Poketto Monsutaa}}, anime. The division of seasons produced by [[The Pokémon Company|The Pokémon Company International]] (formerly known as Pokémon USA, or PUSA) is based on the groups of episodes sharing a particular opening theme; the division of seasons produced by [[4Kids Entertainment]] are based on 52-episode groups grouped accordingly to the episode counting used by the English dub, which are often inconsistent with groups of episodes sharing a story arc title and opening theme (except for the cases of Seasons 4, 7, and 8). Movies are aired alongside a season's run, however, they are not included in seasons, though they correlate with them plot-wise. For movies see [[Pokémon Movies]], and for other specials see [[Pokémon Special]].

Revision as of 23:33, 28 August 2020

This is a list of the various series and the American seasons of Pokémon, or Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター, HepburnPoketto Monsutaa), anime. The division of seasons produced by The Pokémon Company International (formerly known as Pokémon USA, or PUSA) is based on the groups of episodes sharing a particular opening theme; the division of seasons produced by 4Kids Entertainment are based on 52-episode groups grouped accordingly to the episode counting used by the English dub, which are often inconsistent with groups of episodes sharing a story arc title and opening theme (except for the cases of Seasons 4, 7, and 8). Movies are aired alongside a season's run, however, they are not included in seasons, though they correlate with them plot-wise. For movies see Pokémon Movies, and for other specials see Pokémon Special.
