Pokémon in Portugal: Difference between revisions

In Fall 2010, the rights to the series were purchased by another Portuguese channel, '''Panda Biggs'''. The production was moved into the '''Cinemágica''' studio in Porto, which meant the entire voice cast was going to be replaced. TPCi took over the control of the series, retaining the episode titles written in European Portuguese introduced in the ''Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl'' season, editing the ending credits with information from the local dub staff and also replacing the "To be continued..." message with a translated one. It became known that the series' translator would be Sérgio Figueiredo.

The channel aired the 10th season from 20 September 2010 to 25 October 2010, showing 2 episodes each day of the week and repeating the 10 episodes shown on workweek in the weekend. Notably, this version had fixed mistakes in the dub, also replacing some speeches from the original production with ones of the new actors, which were presumed by the fans to be tests for the new voice cast. Midway through the airing of the 10th season, the channel started a promotion campaign of their new ownership of the series, conducting a contest in which 70 winners would win two tickets to a first-hand premiere of [[DP053]] and [[DP054]] in cinemas. There were two premieres: one in Lisbon (40 winners) and one in Porto (30 winners). Both premieres were held on 23 October 2010, with the winners notified two days earlier.

The ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]'' dub premiered officially on 26 October 2010. Unlike the previous season, Panda Biggs broadcast 1 new episode each day of the workweek. The airing of the season ended on 5 January 2011 and the channel aired repeats twice until the end of May.

The ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' season premiered on 1 June 2011 and finished its airing on 4 August 2011. Repeats were aired twice until 23 December 2011, though the [[DP155|last]] [[DP156|three]] [[DP157|episodes]] of the season were skipped in the second repeat.

The ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' season premiered on 25 December 2011 and finished its airing on 9 February 2012. Since new episodes started to only premiere on the weekend beginning from ''[[Best Wishes series|Black & White series]]'', the season filled Pokémon's time slot on the channel during the workweek (including a repeat of all the 5 episodes aired from Monday to Friday on Saturday) and was repeated several times.

Like ''Battle Dimension'', the ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' season's first two episodes got a promotion campaign for a first-hand premiere on cinema on 19 May 2012. Those competing for the special tickets had to send their participation notifications until two days earlier. 55 winners saw the episodes' premiere in Lisbon, and an additional 47 saw it in Porto. The series' TV premiere was on 26 May 2012, the season finishing on 20 September. Unlike the three previous seasons, only two episodes premiered each week, on the weekend.

''[[Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies]]'' is hinted to begin in September 2013, an year after the end of the previous.

The movies ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered on 13 and 23 June 2011, respectively.

''[[M14|Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'' premiered in the channel on 15 August 2012, while ''[[M14|Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom]]'' first aired on 26 August 2012.
