Pokémon in Finland/Anime

Generally, episodes of the Pokémon anime air on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings on MTV3, a Finnish commercial TV channel.

Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension has aired in Finnish on Jetix. When Jetix was replaced by Disney XD, Disney XD began to show reruns of Battle Dimension as well. Disney XD has also aired the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth movies.

MTV3's net-TV known as Katsomo started to upload the 11th season beginning on 11 May 2010 and finished the season in July 2010. New episodes were downloaded Mon-Fri by 18:00.

The 12th season started to be broadcast by MTV3 in September 2010, and finished on August 6th 2011. Katsomo started to upload the 13th season since 18 April 2011 and finished on August 11th 2011. New episodes were uploaded Mondays and Thursdays by 18:00.

Like some other European channels, MTV3 showed the first two episodes of the as a "sneak peek" before the seasons actual airing. These episodes were shown on 22 and 25 April, respectively. The season officially started airing on August 13, 2011.

Sub Juniori has started to return the first ten seasons of the series since 12 April 2010. Currently, it is broadcasting the reruns of Pokémon: Advanced.

Many episodes were not shown in Finland for unknown reasons. The last episode of the first season and the entire second season were skipped; and only about a half of the Johto Journeys, Johto League Champions, and the last 12 episodes of Master Quest were shown. This happened also to Pokémon Advanced, as only the first 26 episodes were shown.

This changed during Advanced Challenge, as it was the first-ever season to be shown completely in Finland. Every season after that has been broadcast in their entirety as well.

In Finland, the anime is available on Netflix.
