Trivia[]
- After the controversy that sparked around the "Pokemon" franchise in the Arab world, specifically the Gulf countries, Venus Centre (which is a very conservative company) no longer wanted to be associated with Pokemon in any way and stopped dubbing the show after episode 105. Thus, KM Production moved the dubbing of the series from Syria to Lebanon. The dub resumed its production in Super M Productions' studios. The latter would dub season 3 & 4 between 2001 and 2002, and season 6 (Advanced) in 2005.
- Season 5 was skipped for unknown reasons.
- The dub produced for seasons 3, 4 & Advanced in Lebanon, is way more faithful to the English version its based on, compared to the dub of seasons 1 & 2 done by Venus Centre in Syria. The team in Lebanon was instructed to stay as close as possible to the original material, the dialogue being translated almost word for word and the actors performing their lines in a very similar way to their English counterparts.
- Unlike many countries around the world that continued with the same dub even when 4Kids Entertainment lost the rights to the show, this Arabic dub was stopped abruptly after the rights loss, the Lebanese company "KM Productions" being unable to come to an agreement with the new right holders.
- This dub is partially lost as only season 1 can be found on Netflix. The second and third season are available on Pokémon TV's YouTube channel. Seasons 4 onwards are not found anywhere at the moment.
- When the first season made its way to Netflix in 2017, episodes 20 & 22 had to be fully re-dubbed as they were extremely butchered during their original airings, due to Spacetoon censoring the cross Misty was holding in episode 20, and censoring a scene with a ghost holding a card with a six-pointed star that for them, represented the Star of David, in episode 22.
- As of February 2025, Pokémon TV started uploading all Pokemon seasons in all languages with Arabic audio included on YouTube. They are currently uploading Season 3 with the original Arabic dub. The lost seasons in Arabic might resurface as Pokemon TV seems to be using the original masters of the 3rd season and not the early DVDs audio tracks.
