pokemon (anime) »

The Pokémon anime, often referred to as just "the anime" by Pokémon fans, is a collective term referring to currently 912 main series episodes, 20 movies (by February 3, 2016), and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on Pokémon. The great majority of these focus on Satoshi, a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town, and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a Pokémon Master, his many friends, and most especially his Pokémon, who he considers his partners and friends.

Though the anime is ultimately based upon the games and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on.

The anime has been broadcasted in at least 74 different countries, many times being dubbed into other languages for different locales. The Pokémon Company International usually refers to the anime as the "Pokémon animated series" or "Pokémon television series", while some event Pokémon based on Pokémon from the anime have their location set as "the Pokémon cartoon" in the English version of the games.

Currently, the anime is divided into five series which are further divided into chapters (Japan) or seasons (US), only the main divisions have tags:
