Since the late 2000s, none of the Arabic-language TV stations in any country are airing or rerunning the Arabic dub of the Pokémon anime, most likely due to broadcasting rights expiring and complicated copyrights issues between ''[[ShoPro]]'' and ''KM Productions''. Although the English version of the anime did air on a few premium channels such as '''''{{wp|Disney Channel (European, Middle Eastern, and African TV channel)#Disney XD (closed)|Disney XD}}''''' and most recently the UAE based channel '''''{{wp|e-Junior|e-Junior}}''''', this broadcast of the anime series is not well-known though, most likely due to, if not for the language barrier, then to the relatively low participation of the expensive subscription TV model in the region overall. Regardless, ''Disney XD'''s airing of the anime is not officially recognized for the MENA region specifically.

In 2021, following the Arabic dubbing and subsequent release of [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]] on ''[[Netflix]]'', an unauthorized transmission of the series occurred on several Arabic satellite channels, most prominently on several Algerian networks such as '''''{{wp|Echorouk TV}}''''' due to the nation's lack of interest in reinforcing broadcasting and copyright regulations. Despite being an illegal broadcast, it garnered a considerable viewership, as it's the first instance in more than a decade that the series made its presence on a prominent Arabic-language television network.

'''''{{wp|e-Junior|e-Junior}}''''' began airing episodes of [[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]] with the English dub on January 1, 2021. And on February 27, to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary, an Arabic audio track was added, marking the first time since the dub's cancellation in 2006 that new Pokémon episodes were dubbed and airing on Television. The channel has a very limited reach howevever, since it's only available through a subscription-based service in the UAE only. In 2024, to celebrate [[Pokémon Day]], [[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]] premiered exclusively on the channel featuring both an English and an Arabic audio track. The channel also occasionally airs reruns of older Pokémon seasons in the English dub, as well as hosting a number of [[Pokémon movies]] on their VOD service ''e Junior On Demand''.
