When the anime debuted on YTV, it aired on weekdays at 4:00 PM. When ''[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' debuted in the U.S., YTV continued to air ''Indigo League'' episodes until ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' aired on [[Kids' WB!]]. This is due to YTV's general practice of not airing new episodes until there is a substantial amount of new dubbed episodes to air five days a week for the weekday timeslot until the end of the season. Back around this time, Pokémon sometimes schedueled blocks of "back to back to back to back" specials. The first time this occurred, the block was called "Pokemania". On Septeber 22, 2000 YTV had finally begun to air episodes of ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands''. | When the anime debuted on YTV, it aired on weekdays at 4:00 PM.

YTV began airing {{tt|new|to Canadians}} ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]'' episodes on Saturdays in August 2007. A 3:30 PM weekday timeslot starting with ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage]]'' was added on April 7, 2008. Eventually, these 3:30 PM episodes surpassed the timeline of the Saturday episodes, starting with ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]''. Thus, Canada started getting five new episodes per week. The episode that made the weekday afternoon episodes pass the Saturday ones was ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way out of This!]]''. The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} had finished its chronological airing on Tuesday, June 17, meaning that [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]] should have started on the next Wednesday or possibly Saturday. However, this did not happen, as YTV began rerunning season 10 from the beginning. This is due to YTV's episode policy as stated above. | YTV began airing {{tt|new|to Canadians}} ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]'' episodes on Saturdays in August 2007.
