It follows the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and was succeeded by the {{series|XY}}. It ran from September 23, 2010 to September 26, 2013 in Japan and from February 12, 2011 to December 7, 2013 in the United States. It was not given an English name until after the release of ''[[XY series|Pokémon the Series: XY]]''.

==Blurb==
<i>When Ash and his mother accompany Professor Oak to the distant Unova region, Ash discovers Pokémon that he’s never seen before… and that he can’t wait to catch! He may have Pikachu at his side together with new friends Iris and Cilan, but he’ll still need plenty of new Pokémon on his team if he wants to challenge Unova’s expert Gym Leaders. His quest to become a Pokémon Master just got even tougher!</i>
==Overview==
As with both the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} before it, the ''Best Wishes'' series begins with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new [[region]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Much like before, his previous female companion, {{an|Dawn}}, has left the series, while, unlike the previous three series, with the exception of the [[S02|Orange Archipelago]] saga, {{an|Brock}} does not join him in his journey in Unova. Instead, Ash now travels through [[Unova]] with a girl by the name of {{an|Iris}} and with one of the first Unova Gym Leaders, {{an|Cilan}}, who is also a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]].
