Pokémon: Johto League Champions

Pokémon: Johto League Champions is the fourth season of Pokémon the Series, and the second season of Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver. It features 52 episodes of Ash Ketchum and his friends Misty and Brock's adventure through Johto from Goldenrod City to Cianwood City.
Parts 1, 2, and 3 of Mewtwo Returns also occur during this season with a focus on the main characters and are officially considered part of the Gold and Silver series in Japan (placed between "The Grass Route" and "The Apple Corp!"), however they are not considered part of the overall official episode count.
==Synopsis==
From the sprawling metropolis of Goldenrod City to the icy peak of Snowtop Mountain, the Johto region presents Ash, Misty, and Brock with exciting new adventures—along with a few familiar faces like their old friends Todd, Duplica, and Suzie! Johto's rich past means plenty of Pokémon mysteries for our heroes to solve, and its exciting present means some tough challenges—Ash tackles three more Gyms, while handling competitions like the Pokémon Sumo Conference along the way.Pokémon: Johto League Champions | Pokémon.com

==Trivia==
*A Hot Water Battle is the only episode to be released on Game Boy Advance Video.
*At exactly 52 episodes, it is the first season to contain from the first episode to the last episode that uses a unique opening theme sequence and title, a precedent that would later be followed as of season 7. However, in some countries as well as on the original Kids' WB! airing, on Magna Pacific Australian Super Wallet releases, and on Boomerang and Cartoon Network, the opening theme for "The Johto Journeys" was used for the first five episodes of this season.
*This is the last season to be entirely done with cel animation. Not counting the Mewtwo Returns three part arc trilogy, which only used digital coloring animation instead of using cels, marking three parts of the special the first three to use digital ink and paint coloring, and the only one until the next season, Master Quest.
