History
In 1999, Puerto Chango 2, a popular state-owned channel in Puerto Chango, created a poll on their website for everyone to vote for programs they would like to see aired as part of the Club 2 program. Pokémon was one of the choices, and within a few weeks, it was announced that the Pokémon anime would join the block along with 8 other shows.

EP001 aired in it's Latin American Spanish dub as "Pokémon, ¡Yo te elijo!" for the first time on May 10, 2000 on the Club 2 program.
