Pokemon Seasons 1-5 on Boomerang

[Dogasu]

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been made yet...

Meanwhile, toymaker Jakks Pacific got a piece of the Licensing Show spotlight by taking over the master toy rights to Pokemon, currently held by Hasbro. In addition to that deal, rights holder Pokemon USA said Pokémon: Battle Frontier, the brand new, ninth season of the series and will be broadcast on Cartoon Network (CN) beginning this fall. Pokémon Chronicles, never before seen in the U.S., premiered June 3 on CN during the Toonami block. Classic Pokémon episodes (seasons 1-5) will air on CN’s Boomerang channel.

When the episodes will start airing or how often they'll air is still unknown.

Heh. Pokemon considered among the ilk of Dick Dastardly, Fred Flintstone and the Jetsons.

If I thought i'd see the day, I wouldn't have thought it'd be so soon.

I think its great because Pokemon is on its 10th anniversary so its only fitting that it would be picked up and considered classic. On the other hand Pokemon is going to be next to the likes of The Flintstones, and Top Cat. Which is weired but what are you going to do. At least we will see episodes that have not been shown in a long time

I think it'd be funny if they aired Pokemon next to Wacky Races, since Muttley is supposed to be the inspiration for the Rocket-Dan's Nyasu.

Yeah, I just wish we had Boomerang at my house (we have regular cable, not digital cable)...... X_X

Anyway, I guess I'll have to wait and see if they have it the dorm building, when I go back there next week.

I've got digital cable (Adelphia), but I've never heard of that channel... :\

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Well, they have a lot of commercials advertising that channel when I watch Pokemon Advanced Challenge on Cartoon Network. ^^o

I jut saw commercials for it a few days ago on Cartoon Network.

I don't know how it is for you guys but Season 1 of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends already airs on Boomerang over here and Johto must be older than that.

Wow, Cartoon Network are really making the most out of this.

 

[Dogasu]

Well, Cartoon Network UK as a whole seems to be majorly fucked up anyway, so I'm not surprised.

 

[Habunake]

Man! I don't get Boomerang, although my grandparents do....

It's a great channel, I mean it has Smurfs and the Snorks, and NOW POKEMON!

That's smurfin awesome!

they used to be ok
toonami used to be great
the strangest thing is in the states they get that adult swim slot shoeing proper unadulterated anime and comedy stuff whie we get nmothing like that
naruto has just been announced as being on the channel jetix here in uk so that will be edited to the hilt too
which leaves the questiuon why is cartoon network in the UK rubbish??
