The Pokémon anime began airing on K2 in 2009, starting with ''Battle Dimension''.
Since 2009<ref>Confirmed by the ©2009 copyright date in the first season's redub ending credits</ref>, a re-dub of the first three seasons had been in the works and finally premiered on K2 in 2014 following the expiration of Mediaset's license.

The original English Pokémon themes and texts (only for the "To be continued" and the title of the first about 20 episodes of Indigo League) were dubbed and translated in Italian as well.
