::::You're mistaken.  You're probably mistaking an arc for a season, a mistake that's unfortunately becoming increasingly common.  Season 1 runs [[EP001]]-[[EP051]] and [[EP054]]-[[EP057]] for a total of 55 episodes counting ones initially skipped; [[EP052]] and [[EP053]] were reordered to the start of season two in the dub.  You can tell whether an Indigo League episode that wasn't [[EP018|inherently banned]] is from season 1 or season 2 by looking at what's at the end.  Only season 1 episodes have the [[Pokérap]] at the end.  If it has [[Pikachu's Jukebox]], you're either watching [[EP018]] that debuted incredibly late, or it's a season 2 episode.
::::Coincidentially, it's the other side of the episode that one can tell Orange Islands episodes between season 2 and season 3.  If the theme runs a full TV-size length, it's season 2.  If it's shortened to just the intro and chorus, it's season 3.  An episode that was inherently presented as part of the Johto Journeys arc can tell whether it's an actual Johto Journeys season 3 episode or a season 4 episode that was later reclassified under the Johto League Champions arc; if the theme is at the top of the show, it's season 3, whereas if the theme comes after the first part of the episode, it's season 4.
::::Do recall that an arc and a season, despite increasingly-common belief, are not one and the same.  The ''arc'' is what's dependent on the theme, not the ''season''.  Seasons are closer to a 52-episode-order definition, but actually more dependent on airdates (seasons start sometime between the August-October period) than clusters of episodes.  As far as we've gotten, only the [[Pokémon:  Advanced Battle|eighth arc]] spans exactly one whole season.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
