The '''''Advanced Generation'' series''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター アドバンスジェネレーション''' ''Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation'') is the second series of the [[Pokémon anime]]. As the previous three regions that [[Ash Ketchum]] had traveled through were part of one series, the beginning of this series came as a surprise to many.

In this series, Ash is joined not by {{an|Misty}}, who had been his continuous companion for the entirety of the {{series|original}}, but {{an|May}}, a rookie Trainer from [[Petalburg City]] who at first merely wishes to travel. Eventually, she learns of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and declares herself a [[Pokémon Coordinator]]. May's brother, [[Max]], also travels with the group and helps map out routes to take using his [[PokéNav]]. However, Max is too young to have his own Pokémon. {{an|Brock}}, Ash's near-constant adviser, returns soon after the start of the series, while Misty makes two several-episode cameo appearances wearing a new outfit like her old companions do.

Another change in this series that surprised many was that of both Ash and Brock's clothes. No longer did Ash wear [[Ash's hat|the hat]] he claimed to have sent in a million postcards for, but instead a completely different outfit.

The ''Advanced Generation'' series saw a change in the formula followed by the original series, as well. While in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], Ash encountered all three of those regions' [[starter Pokémon]] and caught each. In this series, however, Ash's only capture of a starter was {{TP|Ash|Treecko|Sceptile}}. Also, unlike when he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] and [[Johto]], Ash left behind all of his Pokémon at [[Professor Oak]]'s, bringing only {{AP|Pikachu}}. This is the only series thus far in which Ash doesn't have a defined [[rival]].
