Pokémon started airing on {{wp| | Pokémon started airing on {{wp|Record (television network)|Rede Record}} on May 10, 1999. It aired daily in the morning. A few months later, it also began to air on {{wp|Cartoon Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network}}. Both channels noticed the great success that they had in their hands, and after several reruns of the [[S01|first season]], the [[S02|second season]] began to air on both channels, first on RecordTV, and then on Cartoon Network starting the week after. | ||
The second season had also high ratings, but was not as successful as the first. This was due to the broadcast of the ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' series on a rival channel of RecordTV, {{wp|TV Globo|Globo}}, in the same time slot. Eventually, RecordTV acquired [[S03|seasons three]] and [[S04|four]] as well. Around this time, in 2002, the success of Pokémon on RecordTV led another network, {{wp|Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão|SBT}}, to buy the rights to the first three movies in partnership with {{wp|Warner Bros.}}, making the films a well-known part of SBT's film rotation. | The second season had also high ratings, but was not as successful as the first.
