This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Advanced, the sixth season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), covering the Hoenn region where the protagonist Ash Ketchum goes on to further adventures and meets new friends along the way to the Hoenn League. In Japan, this began the Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation (ポケットモンスター アドバンスジェネレーション Poketto Monsutā Adobansu Jenerēshon?) series. Misty and Brock leave Ash's side. Ash meets a new friend named May, who participates in Pokémon contests, and her brother Max. Brock returns and the four travel together through the Hoenn region.
The sixth season of Pokémon originally aired in Japan from November 2002 to August 2003 on TV Tokyo and originally in the United States from May 2003, November 2003 to September 2004 on The WB Television Network. In March 2003, two episodes were aired as part of a sneak peak preview, during the previous season.
The Japanese opening song is "Advance Adventure" by GARDEN. The ending songs are "Because the Sky is There" by Toshiko Ezaki, and "Polka O Dolka" by Inuko Inuyama, and Nolsol Chorus Group. The English opening song is "I Wanna Be a Hero" by David Rolfe.
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 in the United States either in syndication, on The WB Television Network or on Cartoon Network. (Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order.) Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English this season is close to being the shortest.
