'''Pokémon: Indigo League''' (known at the time it was first aired simply as '''Pokémon''') is the first [[dub]]bed season of the Pokémon anime. The season follows rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]] [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{ashfr}} {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} as they travel across the [[Kanto]] region. The subtitle "Indigo League" is not used within the episodes, but was later added by the DVD boxed sets to distinguish it from the later [[season]]s.
