Moroccan channel ''{{wp|2M (TV channel)|2M}}'' is notable for being the most recent TV channel to have officially aired the Arabic dub of the Pokémon anime when it aired [[S06]] in 2010. This channel also aired the [[Pokémon in France#Pokémon anime|Pokémon anime in French]]. The channel has two separate feeds: one available nationwide via terrestrial television, and a satellite feed under the branding ''2M Monde''. The [[anime|Pokémon anime]] only airs on the terrestrial feed because the network only buys its broadcasting rights for within {{wp|Morocco}}. | Moroccan channel ''{{wp|2M (TV channel)|2M}}'' is notable for being the most recent TV channel to have officially aired the Arabic dub of the Pokémon anime when it aired [[S06]] in 2010.

Since the late 2000s, none of the Arabic-language TV stations in any country are airing or rerunning the Arabic dub of the Pokémon anime, most likely due to broadcasting rights expiring and complicated copyrights issues between ''[[ShoPro]]'' and ''KM Productions''. Although the English version of the anime did air on a few premium channels such as '''''{{wp|Disney Channel (European, Middle Eastern, and African TV channel)#Disney XD (closed)|Disney XD}}''''' and most recently the UAE based channel '''''{{wp|e-Junior|e-Junior}}''''', this broadcast of the anime series is not well-known though, most likely due to, if not for the language barrier, then to the relatively low participation of the expensive subscription TV model in the region overall. Regardless, ''Disney XD'''s airing of the anime is not officially recognized for the MENA region specifically. | Since the late 2000s, none of the Arabic-language TV stations in any country are airing or rerunning the Arabic dub of the Pokémon anime, most likely due to broadcasting rights expiring and complicated copyrights issues between ''[[ShoPro]]'' and ''KM Productions''.

In 2021, following the Arabic dubbing and subsequent release of [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]] on ''[[Netflix]]'', an unauthorized transmission of the series occurred on several Arabic satellite channels, most prominently on several Algerian networks such as '''''{{wp|Echorouk TV}}''''' due to the nation's lack of interest in reinforcing broadcasting and copyright regulations. Despite being an illegal broadcast,it garnered a considerable viewership, as it's the first instance in more than a decade that the series made its presence on a prominent Arabic-language television network. | In 2021, following the Arabic dubbing and subsequent release of [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]] on ''[[Netflix]]'', an unauthorized transmission of the series occurred on several Arabic satellite channels, most prominently on several Algerian networks such as '''''{{wp|Echorouk TV}}''''' due to the nation's lack of interest in reinforcing broadcasting and copyright regulations.

Despite ending its run in January 2001 in the United States, ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was invited to perform on an open stage in {{wp|Al Mamzar|Al Mamzar Park}}, Dubai, U.A.E. in the duration of the whole month of March that same year, coinciding with the annual {{wp|Dubai Shopping Festival}}.<ref>[http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/young-and-old-enjoy-pokemon-1.411320 Young and old enjoy Pokemon - ''Gulfnews'']</ref> Whilst the musical was mostly identical to its performance elsewhere, the female actors had a slight change to their wardrobe which covered their exposed abdomens and thighs, likely to abide with Dubai's public dress code. Since the musical featured the same cast from its American run, it was performed solely in English. The musical, albeit received very positively by its audience, ended its run just days before the 2001 controversies began in the region overall. | Despite ending its run in January 2001 in the United States, ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was invited to perform on an open stage in {{wp|Al Mamzar|Al Mamzar Park}}, Dubai, U.A.E. in the duration of the whole month of March that same year, coinciding with the annual {{wp|Dubai Shopping Festival}}.<ref>[http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/young-and-old-enjoy-pokemon-1.411320 Young and old enjoy Pokemon - ''Gulfnews'']</ref> Whilst the musical was mostly identical to its performance elsewhere, the female actors had a slight change to their wardrobe which covered their exposed abdomens and thighs, likely to abide with Dubai's public dress code.
