The Pokémon anime, also known as "the anime" by Pokémon fans, is a term referring to currently 806 main series episodes, 16 movies, and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on Pokemon. The majority of these focus on Ash Ketchum, a Pokemon trainer from Pallet Town, and his journey toward his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master, his many friends, and most especially his Pokémon, who he considers his partners and friends.Though the anime is ultimately based upon the games and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on.Apart from the anime there has been 14 movies made.
