This is a list of episodes in the animated series Pokémon, named Pokémon: Indigo League for the DVD releases. The episodes aired in Japan as Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?), covering the first season of the series about the adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum and his friends Misty and Brock on the way to the Indigo Plateau. The episodes were directed by Masamitsu Hidaka and produced by Oriental Light and Magic and TV Tokyo.
The first season of Pokémon originally aired in Japan from April 1997 to January 1999 on TV Tokyo and in the United States from September 1998 to November 1999 (from September 1998 to November 1998, it was on first-run syndication and afterwards premiered on The WB Television Network).
