I
have thought about it.
And I decided, despite how much I'm devoted to the series, that a Pokemon channel would be a bad idea
First of all, not all of us Pokemon fans have dvrs or other digital video recording devices out there, some of us dont even have too many
tapes! And I bet everytime something good comes on on Pokemon and someone doesn't have the Pokemon boxset dvds or didn't download an episode. So having all that Pokemon would be an overload. Believe me, sometimes I take breaks from Pokemon too, I do things like play Mariokart, go to other forums, practice my spriting and drawing skills and discuss the BSC with many other internet dwellers who are much older than me.
Another thing is that, what would be on during the nighttime, as an example from 11:00 PM to 6:AM? I doubt Pokemon would get too many viewers during that time because adults and the elderly dont really care about an anime about children catching creatures and battling them. They rather watch scientific shows or (knowing lots of elderly) infomercials.
I know, they could probably pull it off for an entire month but after that week we'd have tons of repeats. I just feel it would get to repetitive and people would just decide to break away from the fandom
But, having a channel entirely dedicated to
anime. Now that's a very good idea, especially if it were at least on basic cable. Right now, they have the channel "Anime on Demand". They have a lot of tv shows on demand now,
but not everyone has "on demand". And having a channel dedicated completely to anime would kind of.... give anime the push into American society it needs.
Wow! What a long post!
