List of Pokémon episodes (seasons 1–13) facts for kids

Pokémon, also known in Japan as Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā), is a super popular Japanese anime TV show. It's made by a studio called OLM for TV Tokyo. The show is based on the fun Pokémon video games from Nintendo.

The story is all about a brave ten-year-old Pokémon trainer named Ash Ketchum. He travels with his amazing electric mouse partner, Pikachu (who is voiced by Ikue Ōtani). Ash and his friends go on many adventures, trying to help Ash become a true Pokémon Master!

The way Pokémon seasons are divided is based on how the show was made in Japan. The English episode numbers are based on when they first aired on TV channels like Kids' WB, Cartoon Network, Disney XD, or on Netflix. Usually, the English episodes follow the same order as the Japanese ones, except for a few episodes that were not shown.

Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands is the second exciting season of the Pokémon TV show. It's also the last part of Pokémon the Series: The Beginning. In Japan, this anime (Japanese animation) series is called Pocket Monsters Episode Orange Islands.

This season first aired in Japan from January to October 1999 on TV Tokyo. In the United States, it aired from December 1999 to October 2000 on The WB and Kids’ WB!.

The story follows ten-year-old Ash Ketchum, a brave Pokémon trainer. His loyal electric mouse partner, Pikachu, is always by his side. They travel through the Orange Archipelago, also known as the Orange Islands. Ash's goal is to collect special Gym Badges so he can compete in the Orange League competition.

The episodes were directed by Masamitsu Hidaka. The animation studio OLM produced the series.

Music and Songs

The Japanese opening song for all 36 episodes is "The Rivals" by Rika Matsumoto. She also sang "Type: Wild" for 23 ending songs. Other ending songs included "Pokémon March" and "Riding on Lapras".

In English, the main opening song was "Pokémon World" by Russell Velazquez. Some episodes also used "Pokémon Theme" by Jason Paige. Many episodes ended with "Pikachu's Jukebox," which featured short music videos like "My Best Friends" and "Double Trouble."

Orange Islands Adventures

This season is packed with adventures as Ash, Misty, and their new friend Tracey explore the Orange Islands. They meet many new Pokémon and face exciting challenges.

New Friends and Challenges

Ash starts his journey to the Orange Islands after Professor Oak asks him to pick up a mysterious GS Ball from Professor Ivy. On Valencia Island, they meet Professor Ivy and the GS Ball. Brock decides to stay with Professor Ivy to learn more about Pokémon.

Ash and Misty then meet Tracey, a Pokémon Watcher. He loves to sketch Pokémon in their natural habitats. Tracey joins Ash and Misty on their journey through the Orange Islands.

Gym Battles in the Orange League

The Orange League is different from the Kanto League. Instead of eight Gym Badges, trainers need four special badges to enter the Orange League competition. Each Gym Leader has unique challenges for Ash.

• First Badge: On Mikan Island, Ash battles Cissy at the Mikan Gym. He earns the Coral Eye Badge.
• Second Badge: On Navel Island, Ash climbs a snowy mountain to reach the Navel Gym. He battles Gym Leader Danny and earns the Sea Ruby Badge.
• Third Badge: On Trovita Island, Ash faces Rudy, the Gym Leader. Rudy is a talented trainer who also likes Misty! Ash wins the Spike Shell Badge.
• Fourth Badge: On Kumquat Island, Ash battles Luana, the final Gym Leader. She uses a special double battle style. Ash earns the Jade Star Badge.

Memorable Moments

• Ash's Pidgeot: In "Pallet Party Panic," Ash's Pidgeotto evolves into Pidgeot to protect a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Ash later releases Pidgeot to lead them.
• Lapras Joins the Team: Ash rescues a young Lapras from bullies in "The Lost Lapras." Lapras becomes a key part of his team, helping them travel between islands.
• Crystal Onix: Ash and friends help a glass sculptor find a rare Crystal Onix in "The Crystal Onix."
• Pink Pokémon: On Pinkan Island, they discover a special reserve where all the Pokémon are pink in "In the Pink."
• Charizard's Change: In "Charizard Chills," Ash's Charizard finally starts to obey him after Ash helps it recover from being frozen. This is a big moment for their friendship!

Pokémon: Advanced Challenge is the seventh exciting season of the Pokémon TV show! It's also the second part of the Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire adventure. In Japan, this season is called Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation.

This season first aired in Japan from September 4, 2003, to September 2, 2004, on TV Tokyo. In the United States, it aired from September 11, 2004, to September 10, 2005, on Kids' WB.

The story takes place in the amazing Hoenn region. Our hero, ten-year-old Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum, continues his journey. He travels with his loyal electric mouse partner, Pikachu. Their main goal is to collect Gym Badges. With these badges, Ash can enter the big Hoenn League competition!

Along the way, they meet up with their good friend Brock. Brock is the leader of the Pewter City Gym. They also join forces with May, a Pokémon coordinator, and her younger brother, Max. May is busy competing in Pokémon Contests. She wants to earn special Ribbons so she can enter the Hoenn Grand Festival.

What Happens in This Season

This season is packed with adventures! Ash, May, Brock, and Max explore the Hoenn region. They meet many new Pokémon and face exciting challenges.

Ash works hard to earn more Gym Badges. He battles powerful Gym Leaders. May tries her best in Pokémon Contests. She shows off her Pokémon's beauty and skills. Both Ash and May learn new things. They help their Pokémon grow stronger.

Some cool things happen in this season:

• May's Torchic evolves into a Combusken!
• Brock's Lotad evolves into a Lombre.
• May catches a cute Skitty and a Bulbasaur.
• Ash catches a tough Torkoal.
• Misty, an old friend of Ash and Brock, makes a special visit!

They also run into the sneaky Team Rocket. Jessie, James, and Meowth are always trying to steal Pikachu. But our heroes always stop them!

In Japan, the opening songs were "Advance Adventure" by GARDEN and "Challenger!!" by Rika Matsumoto. The ending songs included "Polka O Dolka" by Inuko Inuyama and "Smile" by Toshiko Ezaki.

For the English version, the opening song is "This Dream" by David Rolfe. A shorter version of this song is also used at the end of each episode.
