The first episode of the Pokémon anime was aired in March 3, 2001 every Saturday and Sunday at 19.00 - 19.30 (GMT +7) by '''{{wp|SCTV (Indonesia)|Surya Citra Televisi Indonesia}}''' (known as '''SCTV'''), a commercial TV station owned by Bimantara Citra. After several months, the broadcast was moved to every Sunday at 9.30 - 10.00 on July 8, 2001.

According to SCTV, however, there were only the first 26 episodes temporarily to be aired.<ref>[http://east.sakura.ne.jp/aniba/aninews/id.htm Anihabara - Anime News in Indonesia]</ref> After several months, the broadcast was moved to every Sunday at 9.30 - 10.00 on July 8, 2001.


The Indonesian dub was mainly based on the {{wp|Japanese}} version; however, proper names from the English version were used. Some [[character of the day|characters of the day]]'s names are changed in the dub, and the most known renamed [[main character]] [[Ash Ketchum]], who was given the dub name '''Ali'''. In a short period of time, Pokémon became well-known amongst children and young people. However, from the [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|third season]], the [[Pokémon anime]] lost its popularity. Soon after the episode around [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange League season]], the show was stopped indefinitely in 2002.

The anime series did not continuously air until December 26, 2004, when '''{{wp|Indosiar|Indosiar Visual Mandiri}}''', took over and began their first broadcast from the beginning of [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|Johto saga]] on Sundays from 7.30 a.m - 8.00 a.m. (GMT +7). Unfortunately, the inconsistency began when Indosiar retained all Japanese names, include main characters, Pokémon, and other things (eg. [[Poké Ball]] is referred as ''{{tt|Bola Monster|Monster Ball in Japan}}'', while [[Pallet Town]] as ''{{tt|Kota Masara|Masara Town in Japan}})''. The most controversial for the fans was the retaining of Pokémon name to Japanese. Despite the controversy, many fans still support this positive effort for retaining the main character's Japanese names.

After [[Pokémon: Master Quest|the last segment]] of {{series|original}} was finished, Indosiar continuously was airing the first episode of {{series|Advanced Generation}} from April 27, 2008. The special series [[Pokémon Chronicles]], as well as the [[Pikachu shorts]] were aired around July 2008 between [[Pokémon: Advanced]] season. [[The Legend of Thunder!]], another part of anime series, was also aired in 16<sup>th</sup> and 23<sup>rd</sup> November 2008.

In early February 2010, Indosiar skipped half of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} (until the end of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]] saga) and started over from [[DP001|the first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. This issue was related to fans who gave request to the Indosiar for the broadcasting [[Sinnoh]] saga immediately, due to the fact the difference time of episodes compared with Japan was very far—about 5 years.<ref> [http://pokemonstars.com/2011/01/27/pokemon-di-indonesia/ Pokémon Stars - Pokémon in Indonesia] </ref>
