This is a list of episodes of Pokémon: Black & White: Adventures in Unova (advertised as Pokémon: BW: Adventures in Unova), the sixteenth season of the Pokémon animated series and the third part of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. It originally aired in Japan from October 11, 2012 to April 18, 2013 on TV Tokyo, and in the United States from February 2, 2013 to July 20, 2013 on Cartoon Network, covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum and Pikachu as he continues traveling through Unova with Cilan and Iris. In Japan, the episodes comprising this season aired as part of the Best Wishes!, under two subtitles.
The first eleven episodes were aired in Japan as the second half of Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2 (ポケットモンスター ベストウイッシュ シーズン２, Poketto Monsutā Besuto Uisshu Shīzun Tsū), having their initial run in Japan from October 11, 2012 until January 10, 2013. The next fourteen episodes were broadcast under the subtitle Pocket Monsters: Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N (ポケットモンスター ベストウイッシュ シーズン２ エピソードN, Poketto Monsutā Besuto Uisshu Shīzun Tsū Episōdo Enu), first airing in Japan on January 17, 2013 through April 18, 2013. In these episodes, Ash and his friends leave Cynthia's villa and travel to Vertress City, where Ash competes in the Vertress Conference at the Unova League against his old rivals named Trip, Bianca, and Stephan as well as his newest rivals named Cameron and Virgil for the title of Unova League Champion. Afterwards, Ash and his friends decide to journey to the White Ruins dedicated to the legendary Pokémon, Reshiram. Along the way, they meet the enigmatic N and face off against the villainous Team Plasma. Investigating the villainous organization is Looker of the International Police, who returns to the series for the first time since Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles. Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) also return after a brief absence since the Season 15 finale.
The Japanese opening songs are "Be an Arrow!" (やじるしになって!, Yajirushi ni Natte!) and "Be an Arrow! 2013" (やじるしになって! 2013, Yajirushi ni Natte! 2013) by Rika Matsumoto.

The English opening song is "It's Always You and Me" by Neal Coomer and Kathryn Raio. The instrumental version of English opening song did serve as the end credit song.
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 Cartoon Network, or in Canada on YTV. Other English-speaking nations largely follow either this order or the Japanese order.
The first episode of this season aired on October 11, 2012, in Japan and premiered in the United States on February 2, 2013.
