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 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. First, the first few seasons were aired from that date until June 2005, when RTÜK found out about this and forced Star TV to remove Pokémon from the air.<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> The magazine of Presidency of Religious Affairs, Diyanet, has reiterated similar claims by RTÜK on March 2, 2005.<ref>[http://www.internethaber.com/diyanet-pokemondan-uzak-durun-1111439h.htm http://www.internethaber.com/diyanet-pokemondan-uzak-durun-1111439h.htm]</ref> After this, Channel 1 and Channel 7 began to broadcast the first episodes of Pokémon for a while.
