Thirteenth movie and Pokémon: Black & White to get UK premiere
CITV to screen movie on 26 February, first episode of new series the following day
|
The thirteenth Pokémon movie, Zoroark: Master of Illusions, will get its first UK airing on Saturday 26th February, courtesy of the CITV channel, at 9.25 am.
Television schedules also reveal that Pokémon: Black & White will begin a day later, on Sunday 27th February at 9.25 am. Additionally, an episode is scheduled for 10.40 am on the same day; it is currently unclear if this is the second episode, or a repeat of the first.
This marks a surprisingly early British debut for the series, and suggests that new episodes will be aired weekly, instead of the daily premieres that have become common for the show in recent years.
CITV can be found on Channel 72 on Freeview (except in Wales) and Channel 621 on Sky satellite.
