'''Cartoon Network Video''' is a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by [[Cartoon Network]] to provide animated programs 24 hours a day. The service launched on September 22, 2006. Originally a sister service to [[Toonami Jetstream]], which had long offered the Pokémon anime, Cartoon Network Video became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service after Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009.

<!--The service is only available in the United States. Other regions have their own version of Cartoon Network Video, though not with Pokémon included in the lineup.-->

<!--Only include information relevant to Pokémon in this section.-->The [[Pokémon anime]] debuted on the service on May 15, 2009.

The first classification used for the Pokémon anime on Cartoon Network Video is [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|DP: Galactic Battles]], not appearing to follow any specific season unlike when the Pokémon anime ran on Toonami Jetstream. The first episode offered on the service was ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]''

On December 14, 2009, 97 episodes from the first two seasons including the entirety of season two, listed under the names of the first two arcs [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Indigo League]] and [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Adventures in the Orange Islands]], were made available on the service, arranged as subclassifications under the show's banner (which still lists Galactic Battles). Unlike Galactic Battles, the episodes from the first two episodes are divided by season, but under the name of one of the arcs, meaning season two episodes from the Indigo League arc are classified under the Adventures in the Orange Islands classification. This is similar to how the last 11 episodes of the second arc, which are also the first 11 episodes of the third season, were available on Toonami Jetstream under the [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|third arc's name]].

On February 1, 2010, a fourth subclassification under the show's banner was added to house season three, listed under the name "[[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|The Johto Journeys]]"; only one episode was made available that day, ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]''.  However, this addition may have been in error, as both the classification and the episode were removed a few days later.

Cartoon Network Video releases episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday is a United States holiday, in most cases the debut was on a different day (such as the following Tuesday). The newest episodes are currently made available the Monday following their original dub airdates and remain on the service for two weeks.

==Pokémon episodes available on Cartoon Network Video==

*[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|DP: Galactic Battles]]: ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' onward

*[[Pokémon: Indigo League|Season 1]]: 45 selected episodes between ''[[EP001|Pokémon I Choose You]]''-''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''/''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper]]''-''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''

*[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Adventures in the Orange Islands]]: ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''-''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]''/''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]''-''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''

<!--*[[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]]: ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'' -''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]''-->

<!--Do not change the episode listings for the first three seasons. This listing reflects how the episodes are divided on Cartoon Network Video itself. The fact that roughly 60% of the category listed as "Adventures in the Orange Islands" on Cartoon Network Video is actually the season two part of the original Indigo League arc may appear misleading, but these listings are what Cartoon Network Video uses, and tampering with our reflection of the listings may mislead people into looking in the wrong category for an episode. Besides, Toonami Jetstream filed the last 11 episodes of the actual Adventures in the Orange Islands arc under the "The Johto Journeys" classification when that service first showed Pokémon, something Cartoon Network Video appears to be repeating, so it's not as if there isn't a precedent for this...-->

<!--Only include information relevant to Pokémon in this section.-->

*After a site revamp in October 2009, Cartoon Network Video uses a dedicated 16:9 widescreen video player. A lot of content originally produced in 16:9 widescreen, including all Pokémon episodes starting with [[DP126|''Classroom Training'']], are shown properly on this video player regardless of the aspect ratio an episode showed in on Cartoon Network's standard-definition television feed; however, content originally produced in 4:3 fullscreen, such as Pokémon episodes from earlier seasons, are stretched to fill the 16:9 frame in a process similar to {{wp|Stretch-o-Vision}}.

*Unlike on Toonami Jetstream, which gave the three Indigo League episodes it showed wrong numbers, episodes from Indigo League on Cartoon Network Video are listed in its proper order, except for one episode placed in an odd location (see below).

*The Todd versions of the episodes [[Todd Snap]] appears in are the ones used on Cartoon Network Video; the same was true when shown on Toonami Jetstream. Additionally, any episode that involves the [[Orange Archipelago]] in any way, shape, or form uses the theme presented from televised airings, meaning {{so|Pokémon World}} is first used with [[EP084|''The Lost Lapras'']] on Cartoon Network Video with [[Pokémon Theme]] used for the three episodes prior.

<!--Only include information relevant to Pokémon in this section. This is not a complete list.-->

*Episode descriptions frequently mispluralize Pokémon names, such as the description for ''[[EP001|Pokémon I Choose You]]'' which lists a "flock of {{p|Spearow}}s."

*Episode descriptions also tend to type out the names of tools incorrectly, such as "[[Poké Ball|Pokéball]]" and "[[Pokédex|PokéDex]]."

** An example of this is a video clip from the episode ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'', named ''Pilfered Pokeballs''.

*The episode description for ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' contains an odd grammatical error where the second sentence reads "Can '''the''' {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] stop them while saving the {{evostone|Moon Stone}}?"

*''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' is listed between ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'' and ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' for some odd reason. The episode that plays is the listed episode; the episode that should go in between, ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', is one of the missing episodes from season one.

*The description for ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' implies that the gang has to convince the headmaster of [[Pokémon Tech]] of the dangers of the school. No headmaster appears in the episode, and nowhere in the episode is the school actually implied to be dangerous.

*The description for ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' implies Ash discovers [[Giovanni]]'s plan to steal the Pokémon onboard. Giovanni's identity was as of then still unknown, and his name is not uttered even once in the episode.

*The description for ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' not only misspells {{p|Gyarados}}'s name, but also implies Giovanni was in direct control of the giant robots when he actually wasn't.

*The description for ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'' implies that Ash controlled the {{p|Venusaur|Venus}}{{p|Blastoise|toise}} that appeared in the episode, and said Venustoise was key in defeating the [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak|Gastly]]. In actuality, it was the Gastly that created the Venustoise and the Gastly faded to sunlight.

*The description for ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' implies [[Team Rocket]] set the traps inside [[Pokémon Tower]] when it was actually the resident {{type2|Ghost}}s that did so.

*The description for ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'' implies that Ash was denied entry into the [[Celadon Gym]] because he wasn't a female. In actuality, he was denied entry because he criticized the perfume with gender playing no role in the denial of entry (this is evident when Brock is seen in the gym without incident).

*The description for ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'' imply the {{p|Magnemite}} were equally as responsible for the blackout as the {{p|Grimer}} when it was actually the Grimer and a {{TP|Ash|Muk}} solely responsible.

*The description for ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' implies [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto}} was unable to {{m|transform}} at all. In actuality, the Ditto in question was in a transformed state when it first appeared; it merely had trouble transforming its face.

*The description for ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'' implies [[Cassandra]] is male. Also, the [[Kids' WB!|Kids WB]] announcing at the end of the [[Pokérap]] segment within the episode itself is left intact, unlike all of the other season one episodes that debuted outside of first-run syndication (where the original announcing is restored).

*The description for ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' implies that Misty and Brock fell into the pit when they actually didn't.

*The description for ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' implies that [[Todd Snap|Todd]]'s claim was to take pictures of {{AP|Pikachu}} when he was really out to kidnap it. In actuality, Todd's intent was picture-taking and had no interest in kidnapping.

*The description for ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' implies that passing the test will allow participants to start earning gym [[badge]]s. In reality, passing the test will allow participants to skip the badges and immediately participate in the [[Indigo League|league competition]].

*The name of the second arc, used to hold episodes from season two, is listed as "Adventures on the Orange Islands" when it should read "Adventures in the Orange Islands."

*The description for ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' implies that the gang misses "the boat back to [[Kanto]]," implying that [[Cinnabar Island]] is not part of Kanto.

*The description for ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]'' lists the gang teaming up with a nonexistent "Professor Boffin" instead of [[Oswald]].

*The description for ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' implies Ash fought {{an|Mewtwo}}. It was actually {{Gary}} that fought Mewtwo. The description is also confusing in some places, possibly implying Gary fought the familiar Team Rocket trio instead of their boss.

*The description for ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' implies [[Professor Oak]] accompanied Ash on his trip to [[Seafoam Island]] when Ash actually went there by himself. Additionally, the description lists the destination locale as the "Seafoam Islands" which, while correct according to the games, is incorrect according to the episode, which used the singular instead of the plural.

*The descriptions for all three of [[Ritchie]]'s appearances erronously spell his name without the T.

*The description for ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' refers to the mysterious object as the "GS Pokéball" instead of simply the [[GS Ball]].

*The description for ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'' implies that the baby {{p|Seel}} belongs to the [[Nurse Joy]] instead of being wild Pokémon.

*The description for ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'' implies that the {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} caught in the episode is male when its gender is actually unknown.

* The initial title of ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', ''The Mother of All Battlers!'', appears on the site's list, despite the video showing the new title.

*The title for the episode ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' is misspelled as "The Egg Scramble".

*In one of the episode clips, Johto is spelled similar to its Japanese spelling, "Joto".
