Original: The PokÃ mon anime series and films are a meta-series of adventures separate from the canon that most of the PokÃ mon video games follow (with the exception of PokÃ mon Yellow, a game based loosely on the anime storyline).
Simplified: A number of PokÃ mon films have also been made that relate to the anime. The first one was PokÃ mon: The First Movie (released in 1999) and they are still being made.
