Pokémon in Canada: Difference between revisions

When the anime debuted on YTV, it aired on weekdays at 4:00 PM. When ''[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' debuted in the U.S., YTV continued to air ''Indigo League'' episodes until ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' aired on [[Kids' WB!]]. This is due to YTV's general practice of not airing new episodes until there is a substantial amount of new dubbed episodes to air five days a week for the weekday timeslot until the end of the season. Back around this time, Pokémon sometimes schedueled blocks of "back to back to back to back" specials. The first time this occurred, the block was called "Pokemania". On Septeber 22, 2000 YTV had finally begun to air episodes of ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands''.

[[Pokémon: Black & White]] aired on weekdays starting on Friday August 5, 2011. YTV aired ''[[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'' on January 14, 2012. on April 7, 2012, YTV began to air episodes of ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' on their Saturday timeslot. Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies replaced Pokémon: Black & White weekday run on August 13, 2012. YTV aired ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' on December 8, 2012. This was the first time since [[Pokémon movie]] theatrical releases in which Canada has had the same premiere date as the US. On March 23, 2013, ''[[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]]'' had replaced the Saturday timeslot

In February 2011, in conjuction with the [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour]] in {{pmin|the United States}}, two similar events were held in Canada, one in {{wp|Burnaby}}, {{wp|British Columbia}} and the other in {{wp|Mississauga}}, {{wp|Ontario}}. At these events, players were invited to try a demo of {{game|Black and White|s}} a month before it was released in Canada. There were other activities such as photo opportunities, face painting, and colouring pages.
