The {{pkmn|anime}} | Around the beginning of 2014, Disney Inc. bought the airings rights for Pokémon. However, the respective company did not acquire the rights for the anime's previous Hindi dub. While the exact reasons for re-dubbing are not known, there is a good possibility that such decisions were made because of Disney India and UTV's policy, implemented in 2010-2011, that all the dubs of Disney channel properties will be carried out in-house. As of now, the first 52 episodes have been re-dubbed and the studio is planning to dub the next batch soon. | ||
The {{pkmn|anime}} made its Hungama TV debut on May 19, 2014 with its first season, which is currently on-going. ''Pokéthon'', a special weekly block dedicated to Pokémon reruns, was recently added to the lineup. The respective block features four back-to-back episodes. | |||
The episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' was skipped by Hungama for unknown reasons. ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' was directly followed by ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', as [[EP038]] was banned globally. The episodes ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and [[EP035]] too were skipped, as they are also banned. | The episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' was skipped by Hungama for unknown reasons.
