'''Toon Disney''' was an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, {{wp|Disney Channel}}). It was owned by The [[Walt Disney Company]], who also owns the [[Miramax]] film studio.It's programming strategy was aimed at 2-11 year olds.
'''Cartoon Network''' is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}} that carries the [[Pokémon anime]] meta series. They started with [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] on September 8th, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling [[Kids' WB!]] dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house.


Toon Disney had shown the ''Pokémon'' motion pictures distributed in the United States by sister company [[Miramax|Miramax Films]]: ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''.  On February 13th, 2009, Toon Disney was succeeded by {{wp|Disney XD}}, a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14.  
Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from Pokémon's earlier seasons. As of July 2008, almost every series has aired on Cartoon Network.  They've also started airing Advanced Generation episodes (currently [[Pokémon Advanced]]) from 7-8 AM EST. On September 29, 2008, they began to re-air [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] from 1-2 PM EST.
 
Cartoon Network also aired all of the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes during the summer of 2006. Currently, the series does not air on the network.
 
New dubbed episodes of [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]] can be seen on Saturday mornings at 7:00 AM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (6:00 AM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}). 
 
During the Diamond and Pearl season, they often played the previous week's new episode at 9:00 AM {{wp|Eastern Time Zone|ET}}/{{wp|Pacific Time Zone|PT}} (8:00 AM {{wp|Central Time Zone (North America)|CT}}).  However, at the start of Pokémon DP Battle Dimension, {{an|wp:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon}} took the 9:00 timeslot. Blue Dragon hasn't aired since ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', however, {{wp|The Secret Saturdays}} has now taken the 9:00 time slot, stopping the previous episode from airing. Starting with ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'', the show will air only at 9:00 am, with {{wp|Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)|Star Wars: The Clone Wars}} taking the 9:30 am time slot.
