The new dub was produced in Lebanon by '''''Image Production House Studios''''' (partners of '''''[[Iyuno|Iyuno-SDI Group]]'''''),<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@abdohakimofficiall/video/6921632625392209154?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=6921632625392209154</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@ranaalrifai/video/7114369026536606977?lang=en</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CuAf-YgssEM/?hl=en</ref> and featured some old voice actors from the ''Super M'' production reprising their roles, to preserve continuity, it was this particular reason that played a pivotal role in influencing Netflix's decision to produce the dub in Lebanon.<ref>https://dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D9%88%D9%83%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%88%D9%86:_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84</ref>

'''''{{wp|MBC 3}}''''' another prominent children' s channel in the region and also part of the ''{{wp|Middle East Broadcasting Center|MBC}}'' network would sometimes broadcast different [[Pokémon movie]]s ([[M02]] to [[M07]]) in the English dub with Arabic subtitles, with the most recent one being {{DetPikMov}} in 2022. Despite of frequently broadcasting the [[Pokémon movie]]s (as well as the other works distributed by ''KM Productions'' like the {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters|Yu-Gi-Oh!}} series) it's unclear why this channel has never aired the [[anime|Pokémon anime series]].
