* The events of each and every episode are canon, and occur in chronological order with the exception of [[EP052]], which takes place before [[EP049]]. Also, the special episodes ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' (which were originally postponed after [[EP038]] caused seizures in some viewers) take place either directly before or after [[EP039]].

* All of the movies up to ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' are canon to the TV series (although only one of the two versions of [[M14|the fourteenth movie]] is canon). They are typically the equivalent of [[filler episode]]s, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not obtain, evolve, or release any Pokémon, and do not earn any [[Badge]]s or [[Ribbon]]s. Often, a movie takes place chronologically between the episodes between which it premieres in Japan. | * All of the movies up to ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' are canon to the TV series (although only one of the two versions of [[M14|the fourteenth movie]] is canon).
