| '''Toonami Jetstream''' is a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Viz Media]] to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day. The service launched on July 17, 2006. The service remained online even after its parent programming block, [[Toonami]], ended on September 20, 2008, and will remain online for the forseeable future. | | '''Kids' WB!''' is an online network that broadcasts WB animated TV shows. From 1995-2008 it was a programming block that was broadcast on [[The WB]] and then {{wp|The CW}}, due to WB and {{wp|UPN}} merging. It aired the English-language dub of the {{g|anime}} in the USA until 2006. The logo of Kid's WB varied between {{wp|Michigan J. Frog}} and the WB Water Tower. |
|
| |
|
| The service is only available in the United States. Other regions have their own version of Jetstream, though not with Pokémon included in the lineup. | | The network first obtained the rights to air Pokémon late in the first season, beginning with ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''. They then went on to air the rest of that season, as well as all seasons through season eight. Warner Bros. also used the Kids' WB! name in their promotions of the first three {{g|movies}}. |

| | In 2006, the network announced that they would be dropping all non-{{wp|Warner Brothers|WB}} shows. Because Pokémon is not produced by the WB, it was dropped from the network, along with {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!}} and several other shows. |

| ==Pokémon anime on Toonami Jetstream==
| | On October 2nd, 2007 it was announced that the block would end in September 2008. The reason stated is because of effects of children's advertising limits and cable competition.

It was revealed the last Kids' WB airing would be May 17th, 2008, following the next weekend the block would become The CW 4Kids. Kids' WB!, along with The WB are now online networks and the Kids' WB! website is now cw4kids.com.On February 17,2009 Kids' WB will be accesible as a {{wp|video on demand service}} to {{wp|Comcast}} viewers. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| [[Image:Master Quest Jetstream.jpg|thumb|right|The Jetstream version of the [[Master Quest]] logo.]][[Image:Dawn Battle Frontier.jpg|thumb|right|{{an|Dawn}} in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]]?]]
| |
| <!-- Only include information relevant to Pokémon in this section. -->*Toonami Jetstream used the opening based on [[Pokérap GS]] for all Pokémon Chronicles episodes. That was only done on the televisied airings with part 1 of [[The Legend of Thunder!]]; all other Pokémon Chronicles episodes used the {{g|Chronicles theme}} for their televised airings.
| |
| *The first five episodes of Johto League Champions used the Johto Journeys opening on Jetstream, similar to the original [[Kids' WB!]] airings of the episodes.
| |
| *The Todd version of [[Todd Snap]]'s Kanto episodes are the ones used on Toonami Jetstream. This appears to go with the {{wp|Retroactive continuity|retcon}} of making Snap his surname when {{g|Snap}} was announced for the Virtual Console.
| |
| *The [[Master Quest]] logo uses different colors on the Jetstream banner than in the show itself.
| |
| *When viewing the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]] banner under the "Shows" tab, {{an|Dawn}} is depicted on the right side of the banner, despite not debuting until [[DP001|the first episode of the]] [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|following arc]]. | |
| | |
| ===Errors===
| |
| <!-- Only include information relevant to Pokémon in this section. This is not a complete list. -->
| |
| *[[EP055|''Pokémon Paparazzi'']] was mislabeled as being episode 10. The actual episode 10 in [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Indigo League]] is [[EP010|''Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village'']]. Subsequent Indigo League episodes also have wrong numbers attached. This running error may be a result of Cartoon Network's recent tendency to air the first season's episodes in the order Kids WB showed them instead of their proper order.
| |
| *[[EP196|''Control Freak!'']], listed as episode 39 of [[Johto League Champions]], was mistakenly given the title and description of the [[EP144|listed episode 39]] in [[The Johto Journeys|the previous arc]]. The scene selection showed images from the correct episode, and the correct episode played.
| |
| *The above error was later repeated with [[EP223|''Throwing in the Noctowl'']], the listed episode 14 of [[Master Quest]]. It was mistakenly given the title and description of the [[H014|listed episode 14]] of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], but showed images from and played the correct episode. The episode was also given an initial expiry time of only nine days instead of the usual six weeks; it was later reuploaded with the correct expiry time, but still with the wrong title and description.
| |
| *[[EP214|''Mantine Overboard!'']] initially did not list the episode number in the [[Master Quest]] classification (it was supposed to be 5); this error was later fixed.
| |
| *The above error was later repeated with [[AG146|''Fear Factor Phony!'']] not listing its episode number in the [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]] classification (it was supposed to be 1).
| |
| *The listed episode 6 of the [[Master Quest]] classification, [[EP215|''Octillery The Outcast!'']], was initially listed with a title of "<sc>Copy Needed</sc>"; this error was later fixed.
