Advanced Battle

This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Battle Frontier, the ninth season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā, Pocket Monsters), and the final season of the advanced generation series international dub; covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum in Kanto as he travels to the Battle Frontier. This season was followed by Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.

The Japanese opening songs are "Battle Frontier" by Akina Takaya, and "Spurt!" by Rica Matsumoto. The ending songs are "Pokemon Counting Song" by Akiko Kanazawa, and "I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~" by Kaori (voice actress). The English opening song is "Battle Frontier" by Jason Appleton.

Overview

The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication on Cartoon Network, or in Canada on the YTV Television Network. Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order. Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. The episodes that comprise this season were known in Japan by the subtitle Battle Frontier Chapter (バトルフロンティア編, Batoru Furontia Hen).

This season aired first-run episodes in Japan from October 6, 2005, to September 14, 2006 (although, it should be noted that the Japanese season started much earlier). Following Masamitsu Hidaka's departure as director on episode 25, Norihiko Sudo took over from episodes 26 onward. In the United States, it began airing on September 8, 2006, and ended on March 3, 2007 on Cartoon Network.

This is the first season of Pokémon that has been dubbed into English by Pokémon USA and TAJ Productions after 4Kids Entertainment's contract wasn't renewed (though assets from the 4Kids dub are still used), the first season to air on Cartoon Network since 2002, and as such, the first season dubbed by the new voice cast. There are some Pokémon in Battle Frontier that are not in the Pokédex at the time of sighting, such as Weavile, Electivire and Mime Jr., as they are Sinnoh Pokémon, and had yet to be "discovered." The series was released in two volumes both containing three disc. Volume one contained the first 24 episodes and Volume two contained the remaining 23 episodes. Both were released by Viz Media.[1][2]
