Series
- If you were looking for the series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, see Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Series.
A series (Japanese: シリーズ series) of the animated series is a collection of episodes that corresponds roughly to a specific generation of games.
In Japan and Asia, there are currently eight series.[1][2][3][4][5][6] These generally match the title used for those episodes of the TV series in broadcast and home video releases, although there are cases where they have gone under a different title (such as Pocket Monsters Episode: Orange Islands, Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! Season 2, and Pocket Monsters XY&Z).
In the West, there are currently nine series.[7] This distinction was not properly made until Pokémon the Series: XY, which introduced a name for the series, being followed by some older series retroactively receiving similar names in home video box sets and video-on-demand releases. Unlike in Japan, the TV series is more often divided into seasons, which are the primary titles used by episodes of the TV series in broadcast and home video releases. Since 4Kids Entertainment stopped dubbing the animated series, seasons have never contained episodes from more than one series, being cut off at series divisions.
On Bulbapedia, the episodes in each series are divided from other series by their episode code. Episodes in the original series are denoted by EP, those in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire by AG, those in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl by DP, those in Pokémon the Series: Black & White by BW, those in Pokémon the Series: XY by XY, those in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon by SM, those in Pokémon Journeys: The Series by JN, and those in Pokémon Horizons: The Series by HZ.
