Pokémon (1997–2023)

The Pokémon animated series does not explicitly portray LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative largely avoids romantic or sexual relationships, focusing instead on themes of friendship, adventure, and personal growth within the world of Pokémon.

The Pokémon anime series primarily focuses on battles between Pokémon, not direct physical combat between human characters. While female characters are present and participate in various roles, there are no significant instances where a female character is depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.

The Pokémon animated series primarily introduces new characters or adapts existing game characters while maintaining their established genders. There are no instances of major or recurring characters who were canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender in the show.

The Pokémon anime series maintains consistent character designs throughout its extensive run. No established character, whose race was clearly defined in prior canon or earlier seasons, has been depicted as a different race within the series itself.
