It ran from November 21, 2002 to September 14, 2006 in Japan and from November 1, 2003 to March 3, 2007 in the United States, although the first two episodes aired as a sneak peek on March 15, 2003. | ||

He is joined not by {{an|Misty}}, who had been his continuous companion for the entirety of the original series, 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]], training to win [[Ribbon]]s so she can enter the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. 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. | ||
After Ash competes in the Hoenn League, Ash and Brock return to [[Kanto]] while May and Max return to [[Petalburg City]]. While on his way home to [[Pallet Town]], Ash meets [[Scott]], who after observing Ash's battle skills invites him to enter the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He travels around Kanto in an effort to complete the Battle Frontier and is joined again by Brock, Max and May - who is now aiming to compete in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. | After Ash competes in the Hoenn League, Ash and Brock return to [[Kanto]] while May and Max return to [[Petalburg City]].

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 Ash's only capture of a starter was {{TP|Ash|Treecko}}, while his friends, May and Brock, caught a {{TP|May|Torchic}} and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, respectively.

Also, unlike when he traveled to the [[Orange Archipelago]] and [[Johto]], Ash left behind all of his Pokémon at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s, bringing only {{AP|Pikachu}}. Another change was new clothing for Ash and Brock. No longer did Ash wear the {{AP|hat}} he claimed to have sent in a million postcards for, but instead a completely different outfit. Misty also received a new outfit during her return appearances. | ||
