On January 22, 2005, Kids' WB! was the first to air the English version of the seventh movie, [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]. It was also first to air the 10th anniversary Pokémon special, ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', on April 29, 2006, even before it aired in Japan. This special was the first to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]] (then known as Pokémon USA), as well as being the only time Kids' WB! aired the new dub by Pokémon USA. Along with the special, a promotional sweepstakes was run by Kids' WB! to win tenth anniversary related merchandise.

In 2006, before any more Pokémon USA episodes could be aired, the network announced that all non-{{wp|Warner Brothers}} shows would be dropped from the lineup. This meant that ''Pokémon'', among other shows, would no longer be aired on Kids' WB!. The series would eventually move to [[Cartoon Network]], which is owned by TimeWarner via its' {{wp|Turner Broadcasting}} division, managed by {{wp||Ted Turner|Robert Edward "Ted" Turner III}} on September 8th.
