This is a list of episodes of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā, Pocket Monsters). The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing either in syndication, on The WB Television Network, Cartoon Network, or on Disney XD. Subsequent episodes of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except where banned episodes are shown.
This is a list of special episodes of the series. In its fifteen-year run, the anime has shown various specials. In English-language broadcast, these have been played or are playing as the Pokémon Chronicles series. In Japan, the specials were shown during the series centering on Ash's journeys in that region. Many of these specials centered on legendary Pokémon or one or more of the main characters that is separate from the main cast during its corresponding series. Occasionally, a special would center on Team Rocket. Only two of the specials have centered on Ash: Mewtwo Returns, and The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon.
