Many episodes were not aired in Finland for unknown reasons.

===Dubbing===
===Dubbing===
The aired episodes were originally dubbed in Finnish by '''Oy PVP-Voice Ab''', a dubbing company known of its numerous dubbings on different cartoons. '''Suomi Sun Studio''' has dubbed the series since ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' season, though some episodes are dubbed by '''Dubberman'''.
The aired episodes were originally dubbed in Finnish by '''Oy PVP-Voice Ab''' from [[S01|seasons 1]] to [[S07|7]], a dubbing company known of its numerous dubbings on different cartoons. Seasons 5 to 7 were recorded in a former small municipality of {{wp|Kisko}} (nowadays part of the town of {{wp|Salo}}) in Southwest Finland instead of capital Helsinki. '''SDI Media''' has dubbed the series since ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''; season 8 was dubbed by '''Dubberman'''.
 
A unique feature of the Finnish dub (and other Nordic dubs) is that the names of Pokémon [[move]]s have been left in English. This hasn't always been the case, but this came into effect when the seasons 9 and 10 were aired in Finland. The reasons behind the change are a bit hazy, but it has been assumed that this is because the Pokémon games and TCG are published in English in Finland as well. At the same time, it has been inconsistent whether {{Abilities}} are translated or not. Until season 8, the names of the moves were said in Finnish. The Finnish dub is currently the only ongoing dub of the Pokémon anime in an Uralic language, following the cancellation of the {{pmin|Hungary|Hungarian}} dub after season 12.

====Cast and crew====
In the Finnish dub, several different voice actors have appeared. '''Sari Ann Moilanen''' was the original voice actress for [[Ash Ketchum]] in first and third seasons and the first four movies, though now he is voiced by '''Hanna Leino'''. '''Kiti Kokkonen''' is the most recent voice actress of {{an|Misty}}, and also [[Jessie]]'s voice actress in some seasons before season eleven, though both of these characters have had a few other voice actresses in some point: Misty has also been voiced by '''Outi Alanen''', '''Marjut Heikkinen''' (also May's voice actress in seasons 9 and 11, as well as [[Fennel]] in [[BW036]]) and '''Pauliina Virta''', while Jessie has been voiced by '''Mari Laari''', '''Karolina Blom''' and '''Susa Saukko'''. Kiti Kokkonen has, though, also been the first of Misty's voice actresses. Brock was originally voiced by '''Juha Paananen''' in the first six seasons and after that by '''Jari Salo'''. Paananen made a surprise comeback in the beginning of season 12 with voicing Canalave City's Gym Leader [[Byron]] in two episodes.


====Cast and Crew====
'''Velimatti Ranta''' is [[James]]'s original voice actor. Other voice actors for James are '''Anssi Känsälä''', '''Antti Jaakola''', '''Saku Mäkynen''' and '''Peter Pihlström''', who is his current voice actor. {{MTR}} has been voiced by '''Pauli Virta''' and currently by '''Arto Nieminen'''.
