'''UPDATE''' (Sunain): According to a recently updated Mediaweek article, "Gone will be longtime Kids WB! staples Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, both which have been falling steadily in the ratings. The decision to drop Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! was based on soft ratings and a desire to bring in more Warner Bros."
Hopefully Pokemon will be picked up by another network or the 'Save the dub' campaign will take on a whole new meaning.
