Black & White to get June debut in UK
|
This past weekend, the TV Channel CITV aired a "Pokémon Preview Weekend", with the "Zoroark: Master of Illusions" movie shown this past Saturday, and the first two episodes of the upcoming "Pokémon: Black & White" anime series shown the next day. At the end of "Enter Iris and Axew!!" (The second episode in the season) a notice came up stating that the series will begin in full later this year.
PokémonWorld UK got in touch with ITV (the parent company of CITV) to enquire about the series' planned air date, and whether they plan on airing the final "DP: Sinnoh League Victors" episode "Memories are Made of Bliss", which did not air before the season started repeats. While they could not confirm an airdate for the missing DP episode, they did confirm that "Black & White" will be airing from early June.
The series most likely received a sneak preview a while before the planned airing to help generate hype for the Pokémon Black and White Versions which will be released in Europe this Friday, before an American release on Sunday.
