 With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Hungama TV began airing the {{series|original}} on May 19, 2014. Starting with the second season, the channel began to include the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in episodes. As with the Cartoon Network airings, several episodes were skipped or aired out of order. During the third season, the channel also started using [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|a red logo]] for Pokémon, instead of [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|the yellow one]] used internationally. Some episodes of the third season were aired with additional Tamil and Telegu dubs, but not all episodes were dubbed in those languages until ''Johto League Champions''. From ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' to ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'', Hungama TV skipped parts of the episode before the title card, including the theme song. Disney XD began airing reruns of episodes that had already aired  on Hungama TV with the first 10 episodes of ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' on August 7, 2016.
-The remaining original series episodes would later be aired as part of the [[S06|sixth season]] starting on August 31, 2015, while the Hoenn portion of [[S06|Pokémon: Advanced]] aired on Hungama TV from September 16, 2015 to November 18, 2015. From February 15, 2016 to April 28, 2016, episodes from [[S07|Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]] premiered on Hungama TV. In addition, throughout the anime's run on Hungama, a number of new blocks were introduced that were dedicated exclusively to the series, including ''PokéThon'', ''PokéVaar'', and ''PakdoThon''. Although Disney XD India had previously only aired the first seven seasons which had premiered first on Hungama TV, new episodes moved to Disney XD India with episodes of [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]] from ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' through ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', beginning on May 7, 2018.
