no, anime is not a cartoon. It is an animated tv series or movie, not a cartoon. It's like the diffrence between a comic strip, (aka Garfield) a comic book, (the first spiderman) a graphic novel (amulet, bone) and a manga (printed each chapter separately and then thrown together). Anime is created in a diffrent way and is meant for diffrent people then cartoons. See More Just like the previous examples.
Pokémon is an anime, published in japan but was famous enough to be aired in other parts of the world (canada, america etc)
