The Indonesian dub was mainly based on the {{wp|Japanese}} version; however, proper names from the English version were used. The most known renamed [[main character]] [[Ash Ketchum]], who was given the dub name '''Ali''', while the rest of them are based on their English name. In a short period of time, Pokémon became well-known amongst children and young people. Soon after the episodes around the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange League season]], the show was stopped indefinitely in 2003.

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 episode around [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|the beginning of the Johto saga]] on Sundays from 7.30 AM - 8.00 AM (GMT +7). Unfortunately, the inconsistency began when the dub were using the mixture between the English and Japanese names for Pokémon and other things in some episodes cases, though it was not the case for the main characters (Satoshi, {{an|Misty|Kasumi}}, {{an|Brock|Takeshi}}, [[Jessie|Musashi]], [[James|Kojiro]]). These were the most controversial for the Indonesian fans. Despite this, many fans still support this positive effort for retaining the main character's Japanese names.
The anime series did not continuously air until December 26, 2004, when '''{{wp|Indosiar|Indosiar Visual Mandiri}}'''; or '''Indosiar''' for short, took over and began their first broadcast from the episode around [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|the beginning of the Johto saga]] on Sundays from 7.30 - 8.00 (GMT +7). Indosiar were using mostly the Japanese script and localization as the main dub. Unfortunately, the inconsistency began when the dub were using the mixture between the English and Japanese names for Pokémon and other things in some episodes cases, though it was not the case for the notable main characters; [[Ash Ketchum|Satoshi]], {{an|Misty|Kasumi}}, {{an|Brock|Takeshi}}, [[Jessie|Musashi]], [[James|Kojiro]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Nyasu]] ({{p|Meowth}} in English). These were the most controversial for the Indonesian fans. Despite this, many fans still support this positive effort for retaining the main character's Japanese names.


After [[Pokémon: Master Quest|the last season]] of the {{series|original}} was finished, Indosiar continuously aired the first episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ('''Pokémon AG''') from April 27, 2008. The special series [[Pokémon Chronicles]], as well as the [[Pikachu shorts]] were aired around July 2008 between the season. ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', another part of the special anime series, was also aired on November 16 and 23, 2008.
After [[Pokémon: Master Quest|the last season]] of the {{series|original}} was finished, Indosiar continuously aired [[AG001|the first episode]] of the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ('''Pokémon AG''') from April 27, 2008. In sometime around September to November 2008, the anime temporary started in one hour at 07.00 - 08.00. The new main characters in this season, {{an|May}} and [[Max]], are named in their English version, though in some episodes aired in 2009; their Japanese names were used, along with the Pokémon names, due to the error.


On February 7, 2010, Indosiar skipped half of the Advanced Generation (until the end of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]) and started airing the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} ('''Pokémon D&P'''). This issue was a response to fans who gave request to Indosiar to broadcast the recent saga immediately, due to the fact that the time difference 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> Though at first the dub has no difference than before, they began to using the English localization as the main dub, while the main characters were still retained.
Several special anime [[Pokémon Chronicles]], as well as some [[Pikachu shorts]] were aired around July - August 2008 between the Advanced Generation series. ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', the special {{wp|OVA}} series, was also aired on November 16 and 23, 2008.


Pokémon anime had been stopped from July 25, 2010 until November 21, 2010, in which were brought to reschedule to 8.00 - 8.30 after the retirement, continuing from ''[[DP024|Showdown! Satoshi VS Pikachu?!]]'' to ''[[DP025|The Gifted Roserade and the Flower Legend!]]''.<ref>[http://bloggertouch.appspot.com/pokeindopedia/post/3086262967948381259 Pokémon series reappeared on Indosiar]</ref>
On February 7, 2010, Indosiar skipped half of the Advanced Generation (until the end of the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier saga]]) and started airing the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} ('''Pokémon D&P'''). This issue seems to be a response to fans who gave request to Indosiar to broadcast the recent saga immediately, due to the fact that the time difference of episodes compared with Japan was very far—about 5 years.


Recently, Indosiar broadcast the Diamond & Pearl season called '''Pokémon D&P Part II''', possibly for the reason of the skipping episode lately from ''[[DP053|Chimchar's Tears!]]'' to ''[[DP136|Mt. Coronet Ruins! Team Galactic Conspiracy!!]]'' on June 12, 2011.<ref>[http://pokemonstars.com/2011/06/20/pokemon-diamond-pearl-di-indosiar-meloncat-ke-eps-136/ Pokémon Stars - Diamond & Pearl series Skip]</ref> This season will consist of 52 episodes, which were brought to the episode removal from [[DP138]] - [[DP141]]. Thus, ''[[DP142|The Worst Togepi Ever!]]'' was aired after ''[[DP137|Marill, Piplup, Elekid!!]]'' on June 26, 2011.
In the first few episode, Ash's voice actor was changed temporary and all Japanese script was used, including the female companion {{an|Dawn}}, known as Hikari in Japan. However, the English name of Dawn was used constantly since an episode. The dub also began to using the English version as localization (mostly for Pokémon, characters of the day, locations, etc.) and the Japanese script as the main translation. The previous main characters were still retained in Japanese, possibly to avoid confusion for the audience.
