Jjc has a point. Streaming services like Netflix have been hugely popular for a couple of years now, to the point people love to binge-watch shows. That's likely why Disney XD airs new shows in block formats, since they tend to pick up on what their viewers want.
I know not everyone likes it, but it's going to be a more common occurrence in the future that we won't be able to stop.
There's no point in doing that because then it'll go on another ridiculously long hiatus.
The best way to do it is the one-episode-a-week format. End of story.
I know I'm probably being stupid in reiterating the same points I made earlier in this thread, but I think TPCI made a
huge mistake in granting the Pokémon anime television rights to Disney XD. Assuming they aren't deliberately embargoing new Sun/Moon dub episodes from the US due to geopolitical issues, TPCI would have been better off looking for a syndication distributor to sell the series to first-run syndication, preferably on an once-a-week basis, such as what was done, for example, with the 1991-2001 run of
Baywatch or the 1986-99 incarnation of
Siskel & Ebert (the Indigo saga's syndicated run would have lasted slightly longer had it not been put into a "strip" (weekday) scheduling format by Summit Media Group-strip syndication only really works well with certain genres such as game shows and talk shows, and prime-time series reruns that have at least 100 episodes available).
The earlier sagas, from Indigo all the way to XYZ, could be sold in a separate deal (off-network syndication) for local stations to run in a "stripped" scheduling format (such as what many Fox, CW, and MyNetworkTV affiliates do with off-network reruns of popular sitcoms.)
Of course, my statements above could be all just pipe dreams due to onerous federal restrictions on children's advertising due to the (failed) war on obesity.
