In India, the Disney dubs of the anime episodes and the first 21 movies were available on {{wp|Voot}}, a streaming service by {{wp|Viacom 18}}, making it the first time the anime has been available through a streaming service in India. Episodes from the first and second season were available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu; while episodes from the third to eighth seasons were only available in English and Hindi. The Hindi dub of the last episodes of the eighth season premiered on the service before it aired on Disney XD. Scenes such as recap of previous episodes, [[Who's That Pokémon?]] and [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] segments and "To Be Continued" shots are skipped, although the scenes deleted during TV airings are restored on Voot.
