Since then, Ash has journeyed across all five of the regions that appear in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In each, he battles against the native [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[Badge]]s, as do Trainers in the main series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a tournament, rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his journey, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, he has, since his journey in Hoenn, changed strategy, and now uses only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to Dawn being that he wants to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try. | Since then, Ash has journeyed across all five of the regions that appear in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a region he visited before beginning his journey in [[Johto]] until it was closer in time to the real world release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Over the course of the series, Ash has had several {{AP|friends}} who travel with him, typically across one region, who assist him in his journey as much as he assists in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joins him in the [[original series]], as does {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon Watcher]], joins Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but leaves him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, join Ash for the duration of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, respectively; in these he mentors them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looks up to Ash for the duration of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} travel with Ash in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. {{an|Clemont}},his sister [[Bonnie]] and Ash's childhood friend {{an|Serena}} travel with Ash in the ''[[XY series|X and Y]]'' Series. Like Max, Bonnie is too young to own Pokémon, but cares for her brother's {{p|Dedenne}}. | Over the course of the series, Ash has had several {{AP|friends}} who travel with him, typically across one region, who assist him in his journey as much as he assists in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joins him in the [[original series]], as does {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

The anime is produced in Japan, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every Thursday at 7 PM, as it has since the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] was resolved. It aired on Tuesdays at the same time prior to this. Many fans consider the dialogue and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode. | The anime is produced in Japan, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every Thursday at 7 PM, as it has since the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] was resolved.
