While some episodes such as ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' were aired and later banned in {{pmin|the United States}}, they had not been banned from YTV's schedule. However, YTV had not aired any episodes which were also never aired in the United States, such as ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]'' and ''[[EP250|The Ice Cave]]''.<!--does anyone know if YTV aired Beauty and the Beach?--> | |||

With this, Canadians were able to watch the newest English-dubbed episodes on Kids' WB! before they aired on YTV. Since the US version of Cartoon Network became the USA's provider of the Pokémon anime in 2006, Canadians had to wait until the dubbed episodes aired on YTV to watch them due to the fact that the American version of Cartoon Network is exclusive to the United States. There had been rare occasions however in which YTV had aired content on the same day as the US, such as the airing of ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''. | ||

When the anime debuted on YTV, it aired on weekdays at 4:00 PM. When ''[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]'' debuted in the U.S., YTV continued to air ''Indigo League'' episodes until ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'' aired on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}. This was due to YTV's general practice of not airing new episodes until there was a substantial amount of new dubbed episodes to air five days a week for the weekday timeslot until the end of the season. Back around this time, Pokémon sometimes scheduled blocks of "back to back to back to back" specials. The first time this occurred, the block was called "Pokemania". On September 22, 2000 YTV had finally begun to air episodes of ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands''. | When the anime debuted on YTV, it aired on weekdays at 4:00 PM.
