Pokémon for free in the UK!

[BadWolf_Bay]

If both channels are showing Pokemon.. Who will show Battle Demension when that comes first? Will there ever be reruns of the other series? (I think Battle Frontier would be pulled off well on CITV) I really hope we get other series. Will they show any of the Films on CITV, or will they stay on CN? Hmm...


We can end with this theroy: I ask to many questions.

Oh Yeah!! Pokemon on TV again! I watched all of them...Will they be on tommorow or just Monday-Friday

@Jorah:

You're right, they did start around 6:45, there was some wierd CGI of a superhero space kid that seemed to go on forever!

@BadWolf_Bay:

If we ever get as far as Battle Dimension and ITV ever buy it, it will be simulcast like DP is at the moment on both channels, since ITV4 and CITV are essentially the same before 9:25am. There's still 45 DP episodes to go! XD Battle Frontier would be good, I really hope they fill out the 3 season gap inbetween what they last put on. Last time on ITV, Ash had just lost to Brawly and was starting to train on Dewford Island!

As for movies, I think its a bit of a free-for-all. I guess CITV could have them if they wanted. Pokémon 4Ever was on BBC2 at easter, and they hate Pokémon!

@j0j3:

Saturday and Sunday are Yu-Gi-Oh! GX on ITV4 and normal Toonattick on CITV. Pokémon is on again next week, Monday to Friday at 7:00am until 8:00am, on ITV4 and CITV.

I'm lucky in the fact that I'm on study leave at the moment. Why not record the episodes so you can watch them when you get home?

I reckon CN will show everything first, since they probably get the first pick because that's who shows Pokemon in the US. CN will probably show the movies, too, for that reason. Do they even show films on CITV? I don't know

They've shown it twice on BBC2, it was on last year as well. I think channel 5 have shown the 1st movie twice, once, I think, last year and another time a few years ago

I've got access to Sky Plus and an HD TV anyway so I don't need care about this...
:P

Yer, well, it is certainly good for people who don't have what I do. I was wondering where Pokemon got to, actually...

Whats the point of watching old episodes in the UK when you can see the new ones on youtube or download.

I take it it hadn't occured to you that the internet is not free, while the TV supposedly is (disregarding electricity bills in both cases of course); and it says Diamon and Pearl, so I doubt they're old at all.

Why dont u simply download all seasons on your comp? it s free and about 100 gb in very high quality. ~20* 4.7Gb DVDs

I have every episode on my computer, but its not the same as watching them in TV quality. When I was watching them yesterday, I forgot how good the colours on Pokémon are! On a computer screen, you have no depth, and at around 175MB an episode, they're still not perfect. Especially the Advanced Challenge ones. They look like dusty old VHS recordings!

Yah! U r right. I ve gote same feelings. When i was ten and watced 1st Pokemon season Russian dubbed in 1999, it is nit the same thing watching it on comp.

But now... Work... University... i usually watch anime after midnight...

I'm American, so I can't be on-the-spot, but I may be able to answer.

1. I guess both, since ITV4 apparently is just a repeater of CITV at PkMn: DP air-time.
2. They're probably not going to be on FreeVeiw* because NOE or whoever controls Pokémon movie rights would nuke ITV if it did air a movie terrestrially.

Pokémon 4Ever was on BBC2 at easter, and they hate Pokémon!

swampert22, the BBC doesn't want Parliament to lower the TV tax because they aired a commercialized show! I think someone effed up at BBC2, or ITV's transmitters were shot and asker if they could air it on BBC2 instead in the name of brotherly VHF love.

ぱにぽに, thanks for the BBC3/ITV4 clarification.

vano-m, they actually show Pokémon in Russia? I'd better tape an episode so I can learn some Russian! But seriously, I'm surprised that they'd air it.

*For Americans, FreeVeiw is Britain's DTV service.

[*]They're probably not going to be on FreeVeiw* because NOE or whoever controls Pokémon movie rights would nuke ITV if it did air a movie terrestrially.

But Pokemon movies have been shown numerious times on terrestrial o.O

Er, it can't be a mistake because they've shown it twice o.O And I don't get what you mean by commercialised show, BBC2 used to show The Simpsons. And I don't think the BBC would show something just because ITV wanted them to...
