No new Diamond and Pearl episodes for approximately a month

[Sunain]

It appears that Diamond and Pearl will not resume broadcasting till mid January. Movie 7 is scheduled to air the first week of January.

[The Big Al]

What he said.

 

[Kasumi]

So this week's episode is the last of the year?

 

[ZoraJolteon]

No, Mukkuru and Brock eppies are next Thursday as a double bill.

 

[The Incarnation ポケモン]

This is me crying, hard. ;0000;

Must they end it for this year with fillers? *headdesk*

 

[Chaosblazer]

I'm still hoping the Mukkuru one is not a filler.

 

[Cybersai]

You mean they couldn't even get us to the first Gym battle before they went on hiatus?!

BLASPHEMY!!!!!

 

[Habunake]

Watch the episode that won't air till mid January be about Korobooshi. -_-

 

[FullMasta]

Is there any particular reason behind this? Last I checked, the ratings were great and they have had several weeks of breaks. In fact, it has to be the 3rd of 4th hiatus since DP began. What's going on here?

 

[Cybersai]

The only breaks I remember the D/P series having is between the Subomi ep and whatever ep came after that because of Baseball.

In any case, a break at this time of year isn't surprising. They celebrate Christmas in Japan, it's not surprising we have a break now. At least they're airing two eps in one day just to show them before next year.

 

[Habunake]

You forget they had 3 episodes in a week. And we got two hiatus's after that. And we get 2 episodes next week. They are keeping it balanced it seems.

They always break for New Years though.

 

[Lil Brother]

I think it's some kind of deal TV Tokyo and Cartoon Network have to get the raw and dub versions of an episode to premiere on the same day.

 

[The Big Al]

Do they play hockey or basketball in Japan? That could possibly be it.

 

[Habunake]

I hope we get titles (and maybe summaries) before the break. The new years episodes have been pretty good recently (Do I Hear A Ralts and Queen of the Serpentine)

oak won the topic

I think it's some kind of deal TV Tokyo and Cartoon Network have to get the raw and dub versions of an episode to premiere on the same day.

Since D/P won't be out in the US for quite some time, doing that NOW makes no sense. Pokemon USA aren't going to let the D/P adaption air long before they release the games.

 

[Lucifer Angel]

Well this blows greatly.

 

[Dogasu]

Since D/P won't be out in the US for quite some time, doing that NOW makes no sense. Pokemon USA aren't going to let the D/P adaption air long before they release the games.

Why wouldn't they? They didn't have any problem doing that with airing Pokemon Advanced months before Ruby/Sapphire came out.

 

[The Big Al]

I thought they released the first two episodes the weekend before Ruby/Sapphire's release.

I'm thinking PUSA is trying to get to the point were the change in series is the weekend before or after Diamond/Pearl hits the states.
