-'''Toon Disney''' was an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, {{wp|Disney Channel}}). It was owned by [[The Walt Disney Company]], who also owns the [[Miramax Films]] film studio. Its programming was aimed at 2-11 year olds.
+'''Cartoon Network''' is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}} that carries the [[Pokémon anime]] meta series.  The channel was launched on October 1, 1992 after Turner purchased the animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1991. They started with [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] on September 8th, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling [[Kids' WB!]] dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house, which has since been taken over by [[4Kids Entertainment]], the former producer of the anime series.

+Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from Pokémon's earlier seasons such as [[Pokémon: Master Quest|Master Quest]]. As of April 2010, almost every series has aired on Cartoon Network. They have also aired all of the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes during the summer of 2006. Currently, the series does not air on the network.
-Toon Disney had shown the ''Pokémon'' motion pictures distributed in the United States by sister company [[Miramax Films]]: ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.  On February 13th, 2009, Toon Disney was succeeded by [[Disney XD]], a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14.
+New dubbed episodes of [[Pokémon Black & White]] can be seen on Saturday mornings at 8:30 AM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (7:00 AM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}). As of March 2011, it repeated ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' and currently repeats ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]''. They both aired weekdays at 8:00 AM ET/PT. On February 12, 2011, Cartoon Network started airing [[Pokémon: Black & White]]. Currently, their sibling network [[Boomerang (television)|Boomerang]] airs the original series.
-It was also the name of a British television channel that aired alongside the British versions of {{wp|Disney Channel (UK & Ireland)|Disney Channel}} and {{wp|Disney Junior (UK & Ireland)|Disney Junior}} (formerly called "Playhouse Disney" until 7 May, 2011). It was launched the same day as Disney Junior on September 29, 2000 and was replaced on March 16, 2006 by {{wp|Disney Cinemagic (UK & Ireland)|Disney Cinemagic}}. It aired the same shows as Disney Channel, excluding live-action shows such as {{wp|Lizzie McGuire}} and {{wp|Smart Guy}}.
+Cartoon Network tends to marginalize end credits. This is not a very big loss for anime episodes, which have rather unremarkable ending sequences in the dub. However, by extension, this means that the credits of Pokémon movies aired on the channel, which contain an epilogue, are missed, to the chagrin of viewers. Also, when the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] first aired on the channel, several scenes were omitted, which [[The Pokémon Company International|
+TPCi]] did not appreciate.
