This was due to the broadcast of the ''{{wp|Digimon}}'' series on a rival channel of RecordTV, {{wp|Rede Globo}}, in the same time slot. Eventually, RecordTV acquired [[S03|seasons three]] and [[S04|four]] as well. Around this time, in 2002, the success of Pokémon on RecordTV led another network, {{wp|Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão|SBT}}, to buy the rights to the first three movies in partnership with {{wp|Warner Bros.}}, making the films a well-known part of SBT's film rotation. | ||
Since RecordTV had aired its episodes in a short period of time, it started to rerun episodes frequently, a fact which lowered its overall audience ratings. Because of this, Rede Globo purchased the rights to [[S05|season five]] in 2003. Pokémon was so successful in the mornings on Rede Globo that it also acquired the [[S06|sixth]] and [[S07|seventh]] [[season]]s. When they too ran out of new episodes, Rede Globo reran them a few times and eventually took the show out of its morning schedule. | Since RecordTV had aired its episodes in a short period of time, it started to rerun episodes frequently, a fact which lowered its overall audience ratings.
