* In United Kingdom broadcasts on Sky One, any references to specific days of the week during the "Today's Pokemon" screen were removed, likely so that the channel could air episodes on any day of the week without the song providing incorrect scheduling information. For example, the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday raps would almost always have their last lines, such as "We'll be back tomorrow" and "Catch you here tomorrow", cut out. The Monday Pokérap, which mentioned "Tune in tomorrow, we'll rap at ya some more" as soon as its second sentence was especially affected. This line would make no sense if, for example, the episode containing it was broadcast on a Friday. The editing was done inconsistently and differently on each episode, with occasional raps remaining uncut, most cutting only the final line in the "Today's Pokemon" part, and some cutting the screen out altogether. There was almost always a noticeable skip in the audio. | * In United Kingdom broadcasts on Sky One, any references to specific days of the week during the "Today's Pokemon" screen were removed, likely so that the channel could air episodes on any day of the week without the song providing incorrect scheduling information.

* When aired on weekend mornings on GMTV in 1999, the opening segment (which often made reference to “five days a week”) was also removed, since GMTV only aired on ITV stations during weekends. The opening dialogue was removed and overdubbed with a British presenter in a faux-American accent, with dialogue such as "If you're gonna catch 'em, you're gonna have to learn their names!", which in the process removed any mention of the five-day-a-week format. The "Today's Pokemon" screen was cut entirely. In addition, two raps were shown per show - one before the first part, and one after the half-way commercial break before the second part of the show. | * When aired on weekend mornings on GMTV in 1999, the opening segment (which often made reference to “five days a week”) was also removed, since GMTV only aired cartoons on ITV stations during weekends.
