Thirteen [[Pokémon movie]]s have been released in Italy so far. On February 28, March 6 and 13 2004, the first three movies were supposed to be broadcast, for the first time on TV, on Italy 1 in prime time. However, due to the low audience, only the first two movies aired. One year later, finally, the [[M03|third one]] was broadcast, this time on Sunday afternoon. After almost 4 and half years without any movie release (except for the events' cinema projections of the eight and tenth movies), the movies started to air again in 2009: [[M08|the eight]] and [[M09|the ninth]] were aired on Hiro (respectively on January and November 2009), ''[[M07|Fratello dallo spazio]]'' was aired for the first time on Boing in July 2010, and [[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]] premiered on July 2011 via online broadcast on the official site; most recent movies (from [[M11|the eleventh]] onward) were aired on Disney XD and K2. Actually, only the movies of [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] haven't been released in DVD yet, because during 2011 the 4 films of the DP saga were released from Universal Pictures.
