Pokémon: Master Quest is the fifth season of Pokémon and the final part of Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver, a Japanese anime television series known in Japan as Pocket Monsters: Gold and Silver (ポケットモンスター絹と銀, Poketto Monsutā Kin to Gin). It originally aired in Japan from August 9, 2001 to November 14, 2002 on TV Tokyo, and in the United States from September 14, 2002 to October 25, 2003 on Kids' WB. It was the first season of Pokémon to be digitally animated as opposed to cel animation, starting with the episode "Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid".
The season follows the adventures of the ten-year-old Pokémon trainer Ash Ketchum and his electric mouse partner Pikachu 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 "Aim to be a Pokemon Master" (めざせポケモンマスター 2001, Mezase Pokémon Masutā 2001) by Whiteberry for 29 episodes, and "Ready Go!" by Naomi Tamura for 36 episodes. The ending songs are "Face Forward Team Rocket!" (前向きロケット団!, Maemuki Roketto-dan!) by Team Rocket trio for 29 episodes, and "Pocket-erring Monster-ing" (ポケッターリ・モンスターリ, Pokettāri Monsutāri) by Kana for 36 episodes. The English opening song is "Believe in Me" by David Rolfe. A shortened version of the English opening song was used for the end credits.
