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 [[Diamond & Pearl series]] 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.
