Mostly undoing revisions by Orange Mo that are completely irrelevant and unnecessary. (For example, we don't need an extensive history of Cartoon Network here.) ||| "Original" isn't an official title, so it shouldn't be used with the series template.

-Cartoon Network is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}} that carries the [[Pokémon anime]] meta series.  The channel was launched on October 1, 1992, starting with the Looney Tunes short, The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, owned by Turner and one of LT pre-1948 cartoons. In 1996, Cartoon Network was acquired by Warner Bros, through the purchase to Turner. CN was launched after Turner purchased the animation studio {{wp|Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions}} in 1991. They started with ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' on September 8th, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling Kids' WB! dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house, which has since been taken over by [[4Kids Entertainment]], the former producer of the anime series.

 Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from the anime's earlier seasons, such as ''[[S05|Master Quest]]''. As of April 2010, almost every season has aired on Cartoon Network. They have also aired all ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'' episodes during the summer of 2006. Currently, the series does not air on the network.

 {{bulbanews|TPCi not happy about Cartoon Network movie cut}}
 Cartoon Network tends to marginalize end credits—replacing the original ending with their own generic credits while running a promo. This is not a very big loss for anime episodes, which have rather unremarkable ending sequences in the dub, unless the credits break away from the current format, such as in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]''. However, by extension, this means that the credits of Pokémon movies aired on the channel, which contain an epilogue, are missed, to the chagrin of viewers. Occasionally, the credits are simply sped up. Also, when the [[M13|thirteenth movie]] first aired on the channel, several scenes were omitted, which [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] did not appreciate.

-Boomerang is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang is well-known for airing many cartoons that came from the 20th century such as {{wp|Looney Tunes}}, {{wp|The Flintstones}}, {{wp|The Jetsons}}, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, as well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast by Boomerang|Wikipedia}}. Boomerang was made shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block on the network, and was not spun off into a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time.

Currently, as of October 2012, the channel airs episodes from [[EP001]] to [[DP191]]. Episodes are currently airing at 6 and 6:30 PM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (5 and 5:30 PM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}) on weekdays.

 In January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was be relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort in an effort to original programming for the first time; it is unknown if Boomerang will order the series once Cartoon Network's airing of new episodes of the anime will conclude, however. The relaunched channel continues to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly {{wp|family-friendly}} approach, in the hopes that Boomerang could become a “second {{wp|flagship (broadcasting)|flagship}}” on par with the main Cartoon Network channel.
