In addition to airing the [[Pokémon anime]], Teletoon also airs [[Pokémon movie]]s.
 
When YTV was airing the anime, they also aired new [[Pokémon movie]]s during the weekends (with the exception of Movies 8 through 11). Pokémon was very well received by YTV's viewers. Pokémon was YTV's longest running television show and YTV has aired the anime longer than any other English television network to date. YTV has also held a number of contests related to the Pokémon franchise (especially the main series games), with the most recent promotion related to ''[[Pokémon Black and White Versions]]'' and [[Pokémon Black and White Sampling Tour|its Canadian tour]]. YTV is currently wholly owned by {{wp|Corus Entertainment|Corus Entertainment}}.

In some areas of Canada, {{wp|The WB}} (now {{wp|The CW}}) is available on cable. 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]]''.

''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' first premiered on Saturday, December 7, 2013 on YTV with the airings of ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' and ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]''. These initial airings of the seventeenth season did not replace Saturday airings of [[Pokémon Black & White: Adventures in Unova]], but were simply aired as a sneak peek. Continual airings of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' began on February 15, 2014, though the sneak preview versions of [[XY001]] and [[XY002]] were aired instead of the regular versions. On September 2, 2014, YTV has concluded the airings of the Pokémon animated series and YTV's sister station, Teletoon, picked up where YTV had left off.
