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. | 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. Even though its popularity had begun to dwindle in 2002, many fans were excited when Pokémon had been silently re-launched on December 9 by Star TV. 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> | ||
