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 follow either this order or the Japanese order. This series uses game music from Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon Gold and Silver. Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. This is also the first series to be broadcast in high-definition widescreen.
This season began regularly airing in the United States on May 9, 2009, and ended on May 15, 2010, in Canada on October 10, 2009, in YTV, in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2010.[1]
In Australia, the series began airing on December 16, 2010, and ended March 16, 2011, on Network Ten.
The series was released on eight-volume DVDs and four box sets by Viz Media in the US.[2]
Cartoon Network (Pakistan) has started to rerun the season again on February 2013.
