Pokémon, known in Japan as , is a Japanese anime television series produced by animation studio OLM for TV Tokyo. It is adapted from the Pokémon video game series published by Nintendo. The series follows the ten-year-old Pokémon Trainer Ash Ketchum and his adventures with his Electric-type Pokémon partner Pikachu (voiced by Ikue Ōtani), and a varying group of friends in his quest to become a Pokémon Master.
For the purposes of this list, the division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the season divisions used by VIZ Media for North American home video releases. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing either in syndication, on Kids' WB, Cartoon Network, Disney XD or on Netflix. Subsequent episodes of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except where banned episodes are shown.
