In Turkey, there were two separate reports of kids flying off their windows while claiming to be Pokémon in Late 2000. One of these was Ferhat Ağırbaş, a four-year-old child from Mersin on October 30.<ref>[http://www.milliyet.com.tr/2000/10/30/haber/hab08.html http://www.milliyet.com.tr/2000/10/30/haber/hab08.html]</ref> Another was Seyda Aykanat, a seven-year-old student from Kilis on November 25.<ref>[http://www.milliyet.com.tr/2000/11/25/yasam/yas05.html http://www.milliyet.com.tr/2000/11/25/yasam/yas05.html]</ref> | In Turkey, there were two separate reports of kids flying off their windows while claiming to be Pokémon in Late 2000.

In Early 2001, RTÜK, or Radio and Television Supreme Council of Turkey, declared a ban on the airing of the series as a part of Article 4 of Act No. 3984, due to having "a negative influence on the physical, psychological and moral development of children" after doing several studies on the affects of the anime.<ref>[http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban.aspx?pageID=438&n=pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban-2000-12-08 http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban.aspx?pageID=438&n=pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban-2000-12-08]</ref>This was due to the aforementioned reports of kids flying off their windows. A later attempt at the series' revival by Star TV in 2005 was stopped by RTÜK.<ref>[http://www.zaman.com.tr/gundem_radyo-ve-televizyon-ust-kurulu-ndan-star-tv-ye-pokemon-cezasi_146065.html http://www.zaman.com.tr/gundem_radyo-ve-televizyon-ust-kurulu-ndan-star-tv-ye-pokemon-cezasi_146065.html]</ref> | In Early 2001, RTÜK, or Radio and Television Supreme Council of Turkey, declared a ban on the airing of the series as a part of Article 4 of Act No. 3984, due to having "a negative influence on the physical, psychological and moral development of children" after doing several studies on the affects of the anime.<ref>[http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban.aspx?pageID=438&n=pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban-2000-12-08 http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban.aspx?pageID=438&n=pokemon-cartoon-leads-to-broadcasting-ban-2000-12-08]</ref>This was due to the aforementioned reports of kids flying off their windows.
