Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station (Japanese: ポケットモンスター 週刊ポケモン放送局 - Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku) was a show that aired every Tuesday night in Japan from October 15, 2002 until September 2004. The episodes were hosted by Kasumi and Brock, who just introduced the episode and closed the episode. The series didn't have any sort of plot or storyline (like Pocket Monsters does), but instead had a number of different episode types instead:
- Variety shows - These would often include episode clips and live action segments featuring a man in a Kimori suit, KABA-chan, and a random group of elementary school children. KABA-chan, who is probably best known to non-japanese for his cameo in Destiny Deoxys as the guy getting on the subway at the last second, played a major role in most of the variety show episodes.
- Encore - Sometimes, an old episode would be rerun, and other times full-length movies and TV Specials would be aired. Many times these episodes would be requested by fans.
- Original Animated Side Stories - These all-new, 30-minute episodes feature many of the side characters who have stayed behind in Kanto or Jouto while Satoshi travels around Houen. They are the episodes that make up the Pokémon Chronicles series outside of japan.
The show lasted for 91 episodes before being replaced by Pokémon Sunday. All of the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station episodes, except the variety shows, have aired in english.

Synopsis
The Hōsōkyoku episodes did not have a lyrical musical opening like its anime counterpart. The 10 second intro clip was completely created in CGI. A 8-story high 'TV Pokemon' building is displayed while an announcer introduces the show. A large Pokéball is on the top of the building. Just before the clip ends, the Pokéball opens and is converted into a satellite antenna. The Pokéall antenna then shows electric bolts, signifying that it is transmitting, and the '週刊 ポケモン 放送局' - Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku logo appears on screen. The building then fades out and Misty and Brock appear and introduce the clips for the days episode.
