KidsWB dropping pokemon when they become CW
http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002384275
Seems when wb merges with UPN,..they will be keeping the kidswb saturday morning block.................but.......yu-gi-oh! and Pokemon have been removed. Yu-Gi-Oh,..for there fans... well yu-gi-oh is ending, so it makes sense it will not be back,.......The fate of Pokemon is not known. Awaiting it's 9th season,..it is mysteriously being removed because of slipped ratings,..which alot of pokemon fans say is bull. Will have to stay tuned to find out if pokemon finds a new home,... a massive outcry causes the new CW to change their minds,......... or it truely is the end for pokemon.. for the US anyways :/ |
I heard Pokemon was one of the top-rated kids shows. The truth is that they just dont want to carry it anymore because they want to get back to their STUPID AMERICAN CARTOONS. I hope they crumble if they drop Pokemon. Maybe Pokemon USA and 4kids can nagotiate to have it air on 4kids tv if the 4kids voice actors can still do the voices.

In mean it has dropped in the ratings yes but is still one of the highest rated cartoons on television. And cable would literally kill it. So our only hopes are for 4kids to pick it up and nagotiate some kind of deal or maybe they will just put it straight to boxxed set dvd.

I hope so..because I fear this could truley be the end for Pokemon here. |
Erm... *didn't know which to post in* I picked this one to post in because it was made first. By... a minute. ^^;
Hm... well, Pokemon is quite highly-rated among children, so I can't see why no one would want to pick it up. It would certainly be ironic if the show was dubbed using PUSA's voice actors, and aired on 4KidsTV. Ironic indeed. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening, so... I don't know. Perhaps one of the Disney channels? Or CN? Or maybe even Nickelodeon? Wait... aren't Nickelodeon and CN owned by the same people? *ish confuzzled* >.> Well, since PUSA plans on dubbing it, we'll get to see it somehow. |
Its still too popular and why is Johhn Test being renewwed and pokemon isnt? WB is biast for their own shows. What happened to the good ole channels who carried everything? We gotta do something. AND NOW.

Yeah I don't think PUSA is just gonna let this happen. |
I still say they should nagotiate with 4kids to let them still dub it if they agree to air it.
|
All I can suggest is to spread the word about this to any pokefan or pokemon message board you can... more people who knows about it... the more the people can cause an outcry about it.
|
All I know are this place, serebii, and TV.com
|
oohh tv.com go and spread the word in their pokemon board.. be sure to put up a link as proof use this one ... http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002384275
I've already announced it in the internet movie database (( www.imdb.com )) pokemon board. All we can do is spread the word. |
I aint a member there anymore but there is a thread already. I checked. The kids wb board should also be alerted.
|
kidswb why didn't i think of that one lol I'll go check it out.
I can't find their boards :P |
Just go to their pokemon section. They HAD one and I think they still do. ll check it out.
|
I put in kidswb message board on google and found it.
|
Well, as a Canadian it doesn't really affect me (I generally watch it on YTV), but it is kind of surprising. In the end, however, it would just be their loss, and someone elses gain, seeing as someone will pick it up I suppose.

Well pretty sure somone else is gonna pick it up..we just hope it isn't cable..as not all the channels are nationwide and the move could ultimatly kill it if it doesn't stay on a national channel here. |
Plus, somelike me doesnt get cable(well nothing that would carry pokemon) and I cant see it that way. And since there isnt any way to watch it online, its almost like an untimly end. This is just so unfair.

http://www.pokebeach.com/eps/ this place shows new episodes they change evey weekend.. so if it does happen to move to a cable channel you can watch them still here. :) |
I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're dropping it because they don't want to have to fork over some of their money to outside companies like 4kids and PUSA. Wouldn't surprise me, everything is apparently about money these days...

I too have been watching it for 8 years.. I'm a pokefan to the end... I was 18 when it debuted here *looks back and forth* |
I dont think I can be happy if I cant see pokemon. Its one thing when it ends but this is just unacceptable.
|
I know someday pokemon will end in japan...and I'm hoping that it will end in the US the way it ends in japan. would be sad if this was the last season on tv.. and japan has a few more seasons that we would never get to see.
I don't think pokemon will end... I just fear if it moves to cable it can get it cancelled here. I want it to stay on kidwb or some other US national channel. |
