-Originally, episodes of the Pokémon anime aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings on '''MTV3''', a Finnish commercial TV channel. Currently, however, the show is on hiatus and new episodes are mostly aired on other TV channels such as '''Sub Juniori'''.

 MTV3's net-tv known as '''Katsomo''' started to upload the 11th season beginning on 11th of May 2010 and finished the season in July 2010. New episodes were downloaded Mon-Fri by 18:00.
-The 12th season started to be broadcasted by MTV3 in September 2010, and is going to finish in August 2011. It is assumed that MTV3 will start the ''Black and White''  season after that, since like with the 11th season, '''Katsomo''' started to upload the 13th season since 18th of April 2011. New episodes are uploaded Mondays and Thursdays by 18:00.

 Many episodes were not shown in Finland for unknown reasons. The entire [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|second season]] was skipped and only about a half of the ''Johto Journeys'', ''Johto League Champions'' and the last 12 episodes of ''Master Quest'' were showed. This happened also to ''Pokémon Advanced'', as only the first 26 episodes were showed.
-This changed during the ''Advanced Challenge'' season, as it was the first ever season to be shown completely in Finland. Every season after that have been broadcasted in their entirety as well.

 ===Dubbing===
-Most of the aired episodes are dubbed in Finnish by '''PVP-Voice Oy''', a dubbing company known of its numerous dubbings on different cartoons, though some episodes are dubbed by '''Dubberman'''. Also, '''Suomi Sun Studio''' dubbed the ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]'', ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' seasons.

 A unique feature of the Finnish dub [and other nordic dubs] is that the names of Pokémon moves have been left in English. This hasn't always been the case, but this came into effect when the season 10 was aired in Finland. The reasons behind the change are a bit hazy, but it has been assumed that this is because the Pokémon games and TCG are published in English in Finland as well.
 ====Cast and Crew====
-In the Finnish dub, several different voice actors have appeared. '''Sari Moilanen''' was the original voice actor for [[Ash Ketchum]] in season 1 and the first four movies, though now he is voiced by '''Hanna Leino'''. '''Kiti Kokkonen''' the most recent voice actor of {{an|Misty}}, and also [[Jessie]]'s voice actor in some seasons before season eleven, though both of these characters have had a few other voice actors in some point: Misty has also been voiced by '''Outi Alanen''', '''Marjut Heikkinen''' and '''Pauliina Virta''', while Jessie has been voiced by '''Mari Laari''' and '''Karolina Blom'''. Kiti Kokkonen has, though, also been the first of Misty's voice actors.
