With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Hungama TV began airing the {{series|original}} on May 19, 2014. Unlike Cartoon Network and Pogo, since Hungama TV has no English audio feed, the anime aired only in Hindi. Starting with [[S02|the second season]], the channel began to include the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in episodes. As with the Cartoon Network airings, several episodes were skipped or aired out of order. Starting from [[S03|the third season]], the channel also started using [[Media:Pokémon logo Southeast Asia.png|a red logo]] for Pokémon, instead of [[Media:Pokémon logo English.png|the yellow one]] used internationally. Some episodes of the third season were aired with additional Tamil and Telegu dubs, but not all episodes were dubbed in those languages until ''[[S04|Johto League Champions]]''. From ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' to ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'', Hungama TV often skipped parts of the episode before the title card, which were later restored during reruns on Disney XD. Hungama TV aired the first [[S05|five season]]s, one after the another continuously, till ''[[EP262|You're a Star, Larvitar]]'' in June 2015. Disney XD began airing reruns of episodes that had already aired on Hungama TV with the first 10 episodes of ''[[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]]'' on August 7, 2016.
