An '''{{wp|eyecatch}}''' (Japanese: '''アイキャッチ''' ''eyecatch'') is a transitional feature between a {{wp|Television advertisement|commercial break}} and a {{wp|television program}} that originated in Japan and is present in most {{wp|anime}} and {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows. In other countries, mainly the United States and the United Kingdom, the equivalents are "{{wp|Bumper (broadcasting)|bumpers}}".
An '''eyecatch''' is a transitional feature between a commercial break and a television show that is present in most Japanese anime. In the rest of the world, the equivalents are commercial bumpers. The Pokémon anime has featured eyecatches from its very beginning. Sometimes in the Pokémon anime, the 12 seconds available is used for two 6 second eyecatches or one 12 second eyecatch.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section|2=2nd-5th AG eyecatch episodes, first DP high-definition eyecatch episodes, other ''Who's That Pokémon?'' images<!--Johto, Master quest, etc.-->}}
The only eyecatch retained for Western audiences was '''{{tt|だれだ？|Dare da?}}''' ''Who is it?'', which became ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''. Unlike its Japanese counterpart, it continued well into the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, ending with ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'' and being replaced by ''[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]'' starting with from ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You get?]]'' ending with ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]'', when eyecatches disappeared in the [[dub]], but then returned in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]].'' With that, the English dub episodes of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} are the only ones with no eyecatch entirely.
 
The following is a list of eyecatches used in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} feature eyecatches when the player enters certain locations.
