In Japan, the anime is divided into five [[series]]: ''[[Original series|Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Advanced Generation series|Pocket Monsters: Advanced Generation]]'', ''[[Diamond & Pearl series|Pocket Monsters: Diamond & Pearl]]'', ''[[Best Wishes series|Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes]]'' and ''[[XY series|Pocket Monsters: XY]]''. Outside of it, it has been divided into five series: ''[[Original series|Pokémon]]'', ''[[Advanced Generation series|Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', ''[[Diamond & Pearl series|Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', ''[[Best Wishes series|Pokémon the Series: Black and White]]'' and ''[[XY series|Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. The episodes are also further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering eighteen}}. This concept of a television season was first embraced by the Japanese source with the inclusion of an explicitly second season to ''Best Wishes''.

The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in movies. Many Pokémon that are implied to be very violent or sinister in the games are also made to be much more friendly, where none (save {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}}) are considered evil. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

Many Pokémon that are implied to be violent or sinister in the games are also made to be less agressive, where none are considered truly evil.
