'''{{wp|Time travel}}''' is an infrequent theme in the [[Pokémon]] franchise and has been depicted in several [[canon]]s, including the {{pkmn|games}}, the {{pkmn|anime}}, and various {{pkmn|manga}}. In general, stories in which a character travels through time focus on the repercussions of traveling into the past or the future. Usually, the motivation for time traveling comes from the need or desire to change history. Characters who interfere with the timeline will generally notice an altered present upon their return.
