[[File:Italia1.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Italia 1 logo]]On January 7th, 2000, '''Italia 1''' ('''Italia Uno'''), a commercial Italian TV channel owned by {{wp|Mediaset}}, started airing the [[Pokémon anime]] from Mondays to Fridays every afternoon, around 5 P.M. The series that year was successful in Italy and it was also broadcast at prime time on Saturdays. From the [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|fourth season]] on, however, Pokémon lost more and more Italian fans. On Christmas 2001 it was even suspended for one year, possibly for dub problems, and when in the end of 2002 it started again, its popularity was even lower.

In 2003, ''[[Pokémon: Master Quest]]'' began around 4 P.M. With this fifth series, Italia 1 chose to divide the episodes into two halves for the premiere, creating, in this way, two 10-minutes episodes broadcast from Monday through Friday. However, when the episodes were re-aired, they were transmitted fully. Nevertheless, Pokémon started being broadcast later and later ([[Pokémon: Advanced]] at 4:30 P.M., [[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] at 5 P.M.) until the [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle|eighth season]] started to be broadcast at 6 P.M., always for ten minutes on February 2006. After a few months, Pokémon was moved to Saturdays and Sundays, imitating the TV schedule of [[Kids' WB!]]. The main problem facing this was that Italian children attend school on Saturdays. Due to this choice, some Italian Pokémon sites chose to make together a petition against Italia 1. Perhaps because of this petition or maybe due to the lower audience, Pokémon returned in the afternoon at 5:15 P.M.

With the beginning of ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', however, the show was broadcast once again in the weekend, although later in the morning. The same happened for ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', which was not only was transmitted in the weekends, but also for 10 minutes only. In Summer 2007, Pokémon landed every morning at 8:30 A.M. In September 2007, Italia 1 decided on give another chance to the show and, exploiting the success of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Pokémon came back in the afternoon with the new series, ''[[Diamond & Pearl series|Pokémon: Diamante e Perla]]''. The first episodes were successful, similar to the ones of the first seasons, but after a few episodes the success decreased, and so in January 2008 "Diamante e Perla" went back to the weekend.
