Season 1

The first season of the Pokémon anime (known when it first aired simply as Pokémon, and retroactively titled Pokémon: Indigo League by official sources) features the first 52 episodes (or 55, including banned episodes) from the Pokémon: Indigo League subtitle in which Ash Ketchum and his friends, Misty and Brock begin their adventure through Kanto.
It is continued by Season 2, the second season of Pokémon: Indigo League and the first of the two seasons of the Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands arc. "Princess vs. Princess" and "The Purr-fect Hero" are not counted as part of this season as they were held over until Season 2.
