The season began with Address Unown!, which originally aired on September 13, 2003 and ended with Watt's with Wattson, which originally aired on September 4, 2004; it was later shortened to exclude all of the episodes until the start of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire with Get the Show On the Road!.
It is preceded by Pokémon: Master Quest and succeeded by Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Blurb
Polishing off the Silver Conference, Ash heads toward his next challenge—the far-off Hoenn region! While he must say goodbye to old friends, he makes the acquaintance of May, a Trainer just starting out on her Pokémon journey. Along with her little brother Max and the ever-reliable Brock, this pack of Pokémon Trainers begin pursuing their dreams—with Ash racking up three Gym Badges, while May changes tack to follow the Contest path of a Pokémon Coordinator.

Trivia
- This is the last season in the dub until Pokémon: Black & White that features the Who's That Pokémon? eyecatch.
- In Finland, only the first 38 episodes (12 under the Master Quest subtitle and 26 under the Advanced subtitle) were aired. This was the last season to skip multiple episodes in the Finnish dub.
- This is the only season of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire to be aired in Croatia, Lithuania, and Poland.
- The episodes of this season, Pokémon: Advanced Challenge, and Pokémon: Advanced Battle for sale on iTunes and Amazon are missing the Who's That Pokémon? and Pokémon Trainer's Choice segments, as well as the season-based eyecatches from the final commercial breaks. They are all retained on the Amazon Prime Video prints.
- The special preview version of Get the Show on the Road! used a different Pokémon: Advanced logo, resembling that of Pokémon: Master Quest.
