The fourth season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on May 29, 2007 under the [[Johto League Champions]] banner.  [[EP158|''A Goldenrod Opportunity'']] was the first episode offered under that classification.
 
The first season debuted on Toonami Jetstream on January 14, 2008 under the [[Pokémon: Indigo League|Pokémon]] banner as part of a special offering involving [[Pokémon Snap]].  [[EP055|''Pokémon Paparazzi'']] was the first episode offered under that classification.  It is currently unknown if this classification will see a regular progression.
 
Toonami Jetstream releases episodes new to the service every Monday, unless a particular Monday is a United States holiday, in most cases the debut is on a different day (such as the following Tuesday or  the preceding Friday).  Like some other shows on Toonami Jetstream, new Pokémon episodes in currently-running seasons debut every week and remain available on Toonami Jetstream for six weeks after they debut on the service.
 
Toonami Jetstream also offered short previews of [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]], [[DP002|''Two Degrees of Separation'']], and [[The Rise of Darkrai]] prior to their television debuts.
 
To celebrate the release of [[Pokémon Snap]] on the Virtual Console, [[Pokémon.com]] have announced that episodes featuring [[Todd Snap]] will be offered for one week later in December.  That method was scrapped in favor of traditional weekly progression; his three Johto appearances appeared as part of the normal Johto League Champions progression, with his Kanto appearances appearing on January 14, 2008, January 22, 2008, and January 28, 2008.

=Trivia=
<!-- 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 Pokémon 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 [[Pokémon Snap]] was announced for the Virtual Console.
 
==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.
