Pokémon anime
The first three seasons were first broadcasted on RTL Club from June 10, 2000 till Early 2004 with episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. During 2001, a controversy arose from ORTT that Pokémon affected children's brain development and that it had a negative impact on children. Despite this controversy, RTL Club continued to aired because dropping the anime during that time would have caused them to lose up to 50 million US Dollars in profit and they would lose a majority of their young audience, which was tremendous at the time.[1] Beginning in Early 2004, a new channel known as A + (or Anime +) began to re-air the 1st season of the anime before jumping to Season 4 and moving on from there till Mid-2006 when the company was sold and changed its name to Animax. Animax aired seasons 5 & 6 through 2007, though the exact air dates for these seasons are unkown. The RTL Club had once again started the anime's 7th season, but after three runs it was removed from TV after the 315th episode. It is likely that the full eighth and perhaps the ninth season will be synced, it will only be filed in the channel's archive. It is unknown whether the 9th season was dubbed or was shown with only Hungarian subtitles. The 10th & 11th seasons of the Diamond and Pearl Series began to air on Jetix (previously named Fox Kids and later renamed Disney Channel) in 2009 but most of voice actors being replaced. However, when Jetix changed into the Disney Channel, season 12 was made and aired normally with the original voice actors being brought back till Early 2011. However, like in Romania, the 13th season of the Diamond and Pearl series was skipped. Anything beyond Galactic Battles (Season 12) hasn’t been dubbed as of now. Reasons to this have been unknown.
Despite the airings of the first 8 seasons, only the Intros of seasons 1 through 3 and seasons 10 through 12 were actually dubbed and translated into Hungarian. The intros of seasons 4 through 8 were left in English.
Pokémon movies
In total, only the first 7 movies were released in Hungary despite the Diamond and Pearl series being aired. In January and October 2005, the RTL Club released the Pokémon's 3rd film under the title Pokémon 3 - Az öntudatlan betűi. On June 23, 2008, the Cinemax Channel (Animax's parent channel) aired Pokémon: The First Movie and re-aired it several times throughout the following weeks and months. RTL Club aired the 4th and 6th Movies on March 19, 2011 which were later repeated on May 18 and May 25. On June 16, 2011, the same channel aired the 5th movie was released and also repeated on August 25th. The 7th film was also watchable on December 2014 and February 2015. No other movies have been made or released as of now.
