The first three seasons were first broadcasted on {{wp|RTL Club}} from June 10, 2000 till Early 2004 with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. The titles for episodes of the first three seasons were localized with the intros. After season 3 and onwards, for some reason, they stopped localizing the episode titles until the Diamond and Pearl Series. During 2001, a controversy (similar to those made in the Arab world and Turkey around the same time) made by ORTT stated that Pokémon brainwashed children and that it had a negative impact on them and their brain development. This controversy threatened to end the show as it continued as it carried through the next few years. Despite this controversy, {{wp|RTL Club}} continued to air the anime because dropping it during that time would have caused them to lose up to about 50 million Euros (58.3 million US Dollars) in revenue for Hasbro. In addition, they would have also lost a majority of their audience of ages 4-17, which were tremendous at the time, with around 50-65% of them watching the show.<ref>[https://hu.toonsphere.com/2015/04/pokemon-anime-magyarorszagi-tortenete-r/ Pokémon: Az anime magyarországi története] - toonsphere.com</ref>

Beginning in Early 2004, a new channel known as A + (or Anime +) began to re-air the first season of the anime. Instead of re-airing seasons 2 and 3, season 4 aired from around early to mid-2005 until mid-2006, when the company was sold and changed its name to Animax. Animax aired seasons 5 and 6 through mid-2007 and mid-2008, respectively, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unknown. These seasons were also broadcasted on RTL Club at around the same time.

RTL Club had once again started airing the anime's seventh season around mid-2008, after the airing of the 315th episode, it was removed from TV. It is unknown whether seasons 8 and 9 aired on TV, but episodes of these seasons are available online, though few episodes have been found. The release dates for these seasons are currently unknown. The 10th and 11th seasons began to air on Jetix (previously named Fox Kids and later renamed Disney Channel) in early-2009 but with most of voice actors having been replaced. However, when Jetix changed into the Disney Channel, season 12 was released with many of the original voice actors reprising their roles. The anime continued to air until mid to late-2011. However, like in Romania, the 13th season was skipped. Anything beyond season 12 hasn't been dubbed as of now since the fall of ORTT in December of 2011.

The only opening themes of the anime that were translated and dubbed into Hungarian were of seasons 1 through 3 and seasons 10 through 12. The intros of seasons 4 through 9 were left in English for unknown reasons.
