Disney XD to Air New Pokemon Sun and Moon Episodes in May



pokemon anime sunmoon
The new Pokemon anime is finally hitting stateside. Disney XD will begin airing new episodes of Pokemon Sun and Moon: The Series on May 13th, beginning with the third episode "Loading the Dex." The fourth episode, "First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-style!" will air on Sunday May 14th. Presumably, new episodes will follow every Saturday and Sunday mornings thereafter.
For those who missed the first two episodes of Pokemon Sun and Moon, Disney XD will air those episodes on May 12th.
Disney first announced it had obtained the rights to all 18 seasons of the Pokemon anime last year and aired a mini-marathon in November that featured the first two episodes of the new Pokemon Sun and Moon series as well as the latest Pokemon movie Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. However, Disney has inexplicably held off on airing new episodes, even after Cartoon Network finished its run of Pokemon XY&Z: The Series in February and new dubbed episodes of the Pokemon Sun and Moon series began airing in other English speaking countries last month. There's now nearly a five month delay between Pokemon episodes airing in Japan and in the US, which is the longest delay US fans have seen in years.
Disney XD now has a pretty decent block of kid's anime series, with Yo-Kai Watch and Beyblade also airing on Saturday mornings.

Nintendo's Failure To Give The Switch A Proper Pokémon Game Is Inexcusable

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...

Dwayne Johnson Celebrates Easter by Dressing as Pikachu and Terrifying His Do

Some people like to dress up as the Easter bunny and surprise their children on Easter. Makes sense, right? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson decided to kick things up a notch by disguising himself as Pikachu because, apparently, that's his daughter Jasmine's favorite character. Watch the adorable scene play out right here: "Well, Pikachu didn't account for the fact that now Jazzy RUNS and for 2hrs straight she wants to play her new favorite game, 'I run away and you chase me Pikachu. And you're not allowed to take a break until I go night night.' At the end of the vid you can hear her yell, 'Peekyu' because she can't say, Pikachu. "I'm tired, today's my only day off, it's 118 degrees in this costume and Hobbs keep trying to p*ss on my leg. And I luv every minute of it. Bring it on. It's what daddy's do.  Happy Easter to you guys and enjoy your families." I don't care what you happe...
