This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Master Quest, the fifth 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 original series international dub; which covering the final adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum and his friends in Johto.
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 the WB Television Network or on Cartoon 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.
This season aired first-run episodes in Japan from August 9, 2001, to November 14, 2002. In the United States, it aired from September 14, 2002, to October 25, 2003. It originally aired as part of the 2002-2003 Kids' WB! weekday afternoon line-up and Saturday morning line-up.
Two three disc DVD sets were released by Viz Video and Pioneer.[1][2] Pioneer (subsidiary of Comcast) no longer holds distribution rights to the series, leaving the DVDs out of print. It is unknown if Viz Media, who currently holds the DVD distribution rights to Pokémon, has any plans on re-releasing the series.
