 A '''season''' of the [[Pokémon anime]] is a collection of [[dub]]bed episodes that air for the first time between September and June ([[Pokémon: Indigo League|Seasons 1]]-[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|9]]), between April or May through the following spring ([[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|Seasons 10]]-[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors|13]]) or in February ([[Pokémon: Black & White|Seasons 14]]-present). They usually share an [[List of English opening themes|opening]], and are often 52 or fewer episodes long. There is no distinction between these dubbed seasons in the original Japanese airings, except when the seasons' beginnings and endings coincide with those of a new [[series]] in Japan. Each season also has a {{pkmn|movie}} that corresponds to it, though the pairing of a movie with a specific anime season is merely due to the annual release they undergo in Japan.
-It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. The Japanese release schedule was eventually adopted by  Pokémon USA (now known as [[The Pokémon Company International]]) after [[4Kids Entertainment]] lost dubbing rights, likely due to the issues that resulted from the series's summer gaps, such as the {{series|Advanced Generation}} not beginning in earnest until more than half a year after {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|the games}} had been released.
