The canon of the [[Pokémon anime]] considers the following:
* The events of each and every episode are canon, and occur in chronological order with the exception of [[EP052]] and [[EP053]], which takes place before [[EP049]]. Also, the special episodes ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' take place either directly before or after [[EP039]] (airing of these and some other episodes was postponed due to [[EP038]] incident).

* All movies except ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]'' are canon to the TV series (although only one of the two versions of [[M14|the 14th movie]] is canon), and usually act the same as [[filler episode]]s, as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not obtain, evolve, or release any Pokémon, and do not earn any [[Badge]]s or [[Ribbon]]s. Often a movie takes place chronologically between the episodes which it premieres between in Japan.

* The Japanese version of the anime supersedes any and all [[dub]]s if there is conflict between them, unless the dub corrects an obvious error. If something is said in a dub that is not mentioned in the original, it may or may not be canon.

* [[Pokémon Adventures]] chapters and rounds follow chronologically from one another, rather than having the {{chap2|Ruby & Sapphire}} and {{chap|Emerald}}s occur contemporaneously to the {{chap2|Red, Green & Blue}} and {{chap|Yellow}}s as the storylines of the games they are based on do. The same applies to {{chap2|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s which do not occur simultaneously with the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. The exceptions to this rule are the {{chap2|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} and {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}s, both of which occur between ''Emerald'' and ''Diamond & Pearl''. Although the rounds of a chapter follow chronologically from one another there are few exceptions to this: for example, ''[[PS152|Buzz Off, Butterfree!]]'' (round 152) takes place simultaneously with ''[[PS117|Slugging It Out With Slugma]]'' (round 117).
