 The first three seasons were first broadcast on {{wp|RTL Club}} from June 10, 2000 to early 2004, with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. The titles for episodes of those seasons were localized with the intros. After [[S03]], for unknown reasons, they stopped localizing the episode titles, as well as dubbing the Intros until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. During 2001, a controversy similar to those made in {{pmin|the Arab world}} and {{pmin|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 and was carried throughout 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 (with about 50-65% of those age groups that the show had attracted), which was tremendous at the time.<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 {{wp|A+}} began to re-air [[S01]]. Instead of re-airing [[S02]] and [[S03]], [[S04]] aired from around early to mid-2005 until mid-2006, when the company was sold and changed its name to {{wp|Animax}}. {{wp|Animax}} aired [[S05]] and [[S06]] through mid-2007 and mid-2008, respectively, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unknown. These seasons were also broadcasted on {{wp|RTL Club}} at around the same time.

-{{wp|RTL Club}} had once again started airing [[S07]] around mid-2008 and, after the airing of [[AG042]], it was removed from TV. It is unknown whether [[S08]] and [[S09]] 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. [[S10]] and [[S11]] began to air on {{wp|Jetix}} (previously named {{wp|Fox Kids}} and later renamed {{wp|Disney Channel}}) in early-2009 but with most of voice actors having been replaced. However, when {{wp|Jetix}} changed into the {{wp|Disney Channel}}, [[S12]] 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, [[S13]] was skipped. Anything beyond [[S12]] hasn't been dubbed as of now since the fall of ORTT in December 2011.

-The only opening themes of the anime that were translated and dubbed into Hungarian were of [[S01]] through [[S03]] and [[S10]] through [[S12]]. The intros of [[S04]] through [[S09]] were left in English for unknown reasons.

The intros of [[S04]] through [[S09]] were left in English due to ORTT making claims that the theme songs were making product placements via the lyrics since commercial advertising in anime shows were illegal at that time.
