Lists of Pokémon episodes

Pokémon is a Japanese animated television series based on the Pokémon video game series published by Nintendo. The Pokémon anime series debuted in Japan on April 1, 1997, and as of 2025, the series has more than 1,300 episodes.

In countries such as the United States, the cross-platform Pokémon franchise was introduced through the animated TV series first, to prime the market for the video games.^[1] However, for various reasons, some episodes have been pulled from rerun rotation or went unaired in certain countries, while others were altered or completely banned.
