The narrator usually speaks at the beginning and ending of each episode. In the beginning of an episode, he usually informs the {{wp|audience}} of what [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr}} are doing or where they are heading. Sometimes, he will even explain what they did in the previous episode. He usually concludes the episode with what Ash and his friends have learned during the episode or say what they are planning to do next. In movies, he usually is only heard at the beginning, giving an overview of the [[Pokémon world]]. | The narrator usually speaks at the beginning and ending of each episode.

There have been several instances of a character [[breaking the fourth wall]] and talking to the narrator, such as in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', where {{an|Misty}} told him not to congratulate her for unintentionally catching a {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and ''[[JN106|Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!]]'', where {{TRT}} interrupted the narrator's closing lines for the episode and gave him a listener mail to read for their radio show. In the [[clip show]] episodes [[JN119]], [[JN121]], and [[JN126]], the narrator hosted radio shows under the pseudonyms of (Japanese: '''ナレーさん''' ''Mr. Narra''), (Japanese: '''ナレー・ション''' ''Narra Tion''), and (Japanese: '''ナレタ先輩''' ''Nareta-senpai''), respectively. | |||
In some of the episodes featured in the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]], regular characters would narrate in {{wp|Narration#First-person|first-person}} in place of the narrator. When the episodes were dubbed in English, these were replaced with the regular narration. First-person narration was kept in English in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' episode ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]''. {{an|Lillie}} also regularly narrated ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' episodes in the first person from ''[[SM045|Now You See Them, Now You Don't!]]'' to ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'' (apart from ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]''). | |||
Following the conclusion of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' and with Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} no longer main characters, the narrator was also retired (other than a brief voice-over at the beginning of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''), with [[Liko]] replacing him in providing the opening and ending narrations. | |||

The narrator is a third-person character of the Pokémon anime. He has been in almost every episode and movie up until the conclusion of Pokémon Journeys: The Series.
The narrator, as represented in JN119
Overview
The narrator usually speaks at the beginning and ending of each episode. In the beginning of an episode, he usually informs the audience of what Ash Ketchum and his friends are doing or where they are heading. Sometimes, he will even explain what they did in the previous episode. He usually concludes the episode with what Ash and his friends have learned during the episode or say what they are planning to do next. In movies, he usually is only heard at the beginning, giving an overview of the Pokémon world.
There have been several instances of a character breaking the fourth wall and talking to the narrator, such as in Hypno's Naptime, where Misty told him not to congratulate her for unintentionally catching a Psyduck, and Radio Lulled the Mischievous Stars!, where Team Rocket interrupted the narrator's closing lines for the episode and gave him a listener mail to read for their radio show. In the clip show episodes JN119, JN121, and JN126, the narrator hosted radio shows under the pseudonyms of (Japanese: ナレーさん Mr. Narra), (Japanese: ナレー・ション Narra Tion), and (Japanese: ナレタ先輩 Nareta-senpai), respectively.
In some of the episodes featured in the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station, regular characters would narrate in first-person in place of the narrator. When the episodes were dubbed in English, these were replaced with the regular narration. First-person narration was kept in English in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire episode Get the Show on the Road. Lillie also regularly narrated Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episodes in the first person from Now You See Them, Now You Don't! to The Professors' New Adventure! (apart from Night of a Thousand Poses!).
Following the conclusion of Pokémon Journeys: The Series and with Ash and Pikachu no longer main characters, the narrator was also retired (other than a brief voice-over at the beginning of The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)), with Liko replacing him in providing the opening and ending narrations.
