 ==Pokémon anime==
+===Pokémon anime series===
 Pokémon was originally broadcasted in the Netherlands on '''Fox Kids'''. On February 23, 2005, the network was renamed '''Jetix''' and then again on January 1, 2010, as '''Disney XD'''.
 When Fox Kids announced it would stop broadcasting Pokémon in March 2001, 32,000 complaining children called to Fox Kids. It turned out to be a 1 April joke, when the channel announced on 1 April that the third season would begin airing the same day.<ref>http://www.pokemon-paradijs.com/medianieuws/artikel-044.php</ref>
-The first four {{pkmn|movie}}s ([[M01]] Dutch premiere: 20 April 2000; [[M02]] Dutch premiere: 12 October 2000; [[M03]] Dutch premiere: 23 May 2001; [[M04]] Dutch premiere: 3 July 2003) saw a release in Dutch theaters. Later movies, as well the special episodes, are regularly broadcasted on Disney XD. The last Pokémon movie to be released in the Netherlands on VHS was [[M04]], the last release on DVD was [[M15]] and there have been no Blu-ray releases.
 Episodes and movies in the Netherlands generally debut a few weeks after the first airing in the United States. A notable exception to this was ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'' which aired in Dutch ''before'' airing in English anywhere in the world. Which together with the [[SS019|first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon special]], four [[Pikachu short]]s ([[PK01]], [[PK04]], [[PK07]] and [[PK11]]), [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] (part of [[M01]]) [[SS026]] (part of [[M16]]), [[Mewtwo Returns]] and [[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]] were the only specials of the Pokémon anime to be released in the Netherlands.
 The Dutch dub also airs in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of [[Pokémon in Belgium|Belgium]]. In both Belgium and the Netherlands the anime is available on [[Netflix]].
+From 1999 until 2006 JPS Producties was the company responsible for producing the Dutch dub, from 2007 until 2008 Fred Butter Soundstudio and from 2008 until now SDI Media (formerly Sun Studio).
+===Pokémon movies===
+The first four {{pkmn|movie}}s ([[M01]] Dutch premiere: 20 April 2000, more than 525,000 visitors in total; [[M02]] Dutch premiere: 12 October 2000, more than 356,000 visitors in total; [[M03]] Dutch premiere: 23 May 2001, more than 183,000 visitors in total; [[M04]] Dutch premiere: 3 July 2003, more than 18,500 visitors in total) saw a release in Dutch theaters. Later movies, as well the special episodes, are regularly broadcasted on Disney XD. The last Pokémon movie to be released in the Netherlands on VHS was [[M04]], the last release on DVD was [[M15]] and there have been no Blu-ray releases.
+Most of the movies held the original voice actors. However, the distributor for movies 4-7 chose for another dubbing studio. As a result, most of the original cast was replaced by other voice actors. Only '''Christa Lips''' as Ash and '''Marlies Somers''' as Misty remained. From movie 5 and on, they, too, got replaced by new voice actors.
+Beside the replaced voice actors, the dub was also not of high quality. The dialogue and title song were poorly translated, and at some scenes, the English dub voices could still be heard, or no voices would be present at all. The [[Pikachu short]] was also not included anymore.
+From 2007 on, the movies did not premiere anymore on DVD, but rather on TV (Jetix and later Disney XD). This meant that the dubbing was once again of high quality and held the original cast.'
+[[M08]] premiered on November 11, 2007 at Jetix, [[M09]] on November 18, 2007 at Jetix and two movie posters were given away with Jetix Magazine of the movies. [[M12]] premiered on February 24, 2010 at Disney XD, [[M14|Black—Victini and Reshiram]] on May 20, 2012 at Disney XD, [[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom]] on 18:00 June 13, 2012 at the digital channel Disney XD 24 uur (the normal Disney XD airs until 18:00), [[M15]] on 09:00 April 7, 2013 at Disney XD.

 ==Pokémon Trading Card Game==
 {{TCG|Booster pack}}s of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] have been sold in the Netherlands since the beginning of the TCG. Prices are generally around €4 per pack. {{TCG|Base Set}}, {{TCG|Jungle}}, and {{TCG|Fossil}} have been released in Dutch, while later sets have been sold in English only.
+Games and PS-Games were responsible for the distribution in Flanders and the Netherlands until 2011 as PS-Games, also the sponsor and distributor of the [[Pokémon Day (the Netherlands)|Pokémon Day in the Netherlands]], was declared bankrupt. It is unknown when 999 Games stopped the distribution of the TCG. The company saw the profits fall with €3.9 million to €5.6 million and was in debt by €2.2 million. After that Enigma Distribution Benelux B.V. took the distribution of the TCG over.
 There are nineteen [[Play! Pokémon]] leagues in the Netherlands, which work the same way as leagues in other countries. Once every year, the leagues in the Netherlands and Belgium hold an international tournament called the Benelux Cup.
