Season chronology |
Pokémon: Johto League Champions is the fourth season of Pokémon, a Japanese anime television series known in Japan as Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā). It originally aired in Japan from August 2000 to August 2001 on TV Tokyo and in the United States from August 2001 to September 2002 on The WB.
The season follows the adventures of the ten-year-old Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum (voiced in English by Veronica Taylor and in Japanese by Rica Matsumoto) and his electric mouse partner Pikachu (voiced by Ikue Ōtani) as they collect Gym Badges in the fictional Johto region so they can compete in the Johto League competition.
The episodes were directed by Masamitsu Hidaka and produced by the animation studio OLM.
The Japanese opening songs are "OK!" by Matsumoto (for 34 episodes), and "Aim to be a Pokemon Master" by Whiteberry. The ending songs are "Takeshi's Paradise" by Yuji Ueda (for 5 episodes), "To My Best Friend" by Hiromi Iwasaki (for 18 episodes), and "Face Forward Team Rocket" by Jessie, James, & Meowth. The English opening song is "Born to Be a Winner" by David Rolfe.
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 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. In 2007, Pokémon: Johto League Champions started airing on Toonami Jetstream.
In the USA, seven volumes were released on DVD and 61 VHS volumes for the series by Viz Video and Pioneer. Since Viz stopped relying on Pioneer (now Geneon) for distribution of the series, the DVDs and VHS tapes have been out-of-print. Viz Media released Pokémon: Johto League Champions – The Complete Collection on DVD in the United States on May 31, 2016.[1]
