List of Pokémon: Johto League Champions episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Johto League Champions, the fourth season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), covering the further adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum and his friends in Johto.
The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the 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 Television Network 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.
