The Pokémon anime, being one of the most prominent canons, has several notable changes from the games:
- Not all differently-colored Pokémon are their official Template:Shiny2 colors, though Pokémon with the official shiny colors do appear.
- Eggs have a differing appearance depending on the Pokémon species that is inside of the egg. This is debatable, however, due to the appearance of differently-colored eggs in the Generation II instruction manuals.
- Trainers are not forced to wait for the other Pokémon to make a move to call out one for their Pokémon to use.
- Pokémon Leagues feature a tournament, rather than a straight five battles, to become champion.
- In the anime, there can be more than the 8 usual gyms in each region.
- Multiples of each legendary Pokémon have been sighted, whereas in the games there is usually one per game file.
- Starter Pokémon are able to be caught in the wild in the anime, wheras in the games you can only receive them from the regional professor.
- In anime double battles, moves can be combined together, to make a totally new move.
- In the games, the main player is known to be the 'silent' type. However in the anime, there is no main character that does not speak regularly.
- In the anime, characters are known to change their clothes when being in water or during Pokémon Contests. However, when a player dives or enters a contest in the games, the player is still wearing their usually outfit. This was changed altered in Generation IV when the main player changes into a more formal outfit for a Pokémon Contest.
