In 2003, [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]] began around 4 P.M. With this fifth series, Italia 1 chose to divide the episodes into two halves for the premiere, creating, in this way, a broadcast of two 10-minute episodes each from Monday through Friday. However, when the episodes were re-aired, they were transmitted fully. Nevertheless, Pokémon started being broadcast later and later ([[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] at 4:30 P.M., [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] at 5:00 P.M.) until the [[S08|eighth season]] started to be broadcast at 6:00 P.M., always for ten minutes on February 2006. After a few months, Pokémon was moved to Saturdays and Sundays, imitating the TV schedule of {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}. The main problem facing this was that Italian children attend school on Saturdays. Due to this choice, some Italian Pokémon sites chose to make together a petition against Italia 1. Perhaps because of this petition or maybe due to the lower audience, Pokémon returned in the afternoon at 5:15 P.M. | In 2003, [[S05|Pokémon: Master Quest]] began around 4 P.M.

All of the [[Pokémon movie]]s have been released in Italy so far. On February 28, March 6 and 13 2004, the first three movies were supposed to be broadcast, for the first time on TV, on Italy 1 in prime time. However, due to the low audience, only the first two movies aired. One year later, finally, the [[M03|third one]] was broadcast, this time on Sunday afternoon. After almost four-and-a-half years without any movie release (except for the events' cinema projections of the eight and tenth movies), the movies started to air again in 2009: [[M08|the eight]] and [[M09|the ninth]] were aired on Hiro (respectively on January and November 2009), ''[[M07|Fratello dallo spazio]]'' was aired for the first time on Boing in July 2010, and [[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]] premiered on July 2011 via online broadcast on the official site; most recent movies (from [[M11|the eleventh]] onward) regularly air on Disney XD and K2 every year, following the seasons' path. | All of the [[Pokémon movie]]s have been released in Italy so far.
