This is a list of episodes in

Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā, Pocket Monsters), covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum in
Kanto as he travels to the Battle Frontier. This series was followed by
Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.
Season overview
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 Cartoon Network, or in Canada on the YTV Television 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 aired first-run episodes in Japan from October 6, 2005, to September 14, 2006 (although, it should be noted that the Japanese season started much earlier). Following Masamitsu Hidaka's departure as director on episode 15, Norihiko Sudo took over for episodes 24-25 and from episodes 27 onward. In the United States, it began airing on September 8, 2006, and is currently airing on Cartoon Network in their 2006-07 in "Cartoon Network's One Sunday Morning" line-up. This is the first season of Pokémon that has been dubbed into English by Pokémon USA after 4Kids Entertainment's contract expired (though assets from the 4Kids dub are still used), and as such, the first season dubbed by the new voice cast. There are some Pokémon in Battle Frontier that are not in the Pokédex at the time of sighting, such as Weavile & Mime Jr., as they are Sinnoh Pokémon, and had yet to be "discovered." In June 2008, Nintendo released the first 24 episodes in a DVD box set sold exclusively through Wal-Mart and PokemonCenter.com, with the second 23 episodes following three months later.
