Thing is, Disney XD have a habit of airing things in bulk, rather than weekly. I believe they did it with Yo-kai Watch, too
So wait they're rerunning XY rather than SM? Ah man that really sucks, the gap between Japan and the dub is going to be huge, my only hope is another country starts airing it before, hopefully CITV in the U.K.
If that's the case it may not be too bad, but would that mean when the dub catches up they'd go back to airing reruns? If that's the case that could get annoying, I'd prefer the weekly consistency format.
Pokemon Sun and Moon will not arrive in March either
wow how do you know this
Does Boomerang get to still repeat reruns, or is the license over for that one too?
Because I can't really stomach very old reruns happening with the current old reruns.
Does Disney XD give a lot of new episodes of Yokai Watch...after a long while?
Seems that for Pokémon Sun & Moon, we'll get them at the pace just like the original series did back in late 1998. We're used to one episode a week format, but that seems to change for us come April or so. That will be about a span of 4.5 to 5 months from late November 2016 to early-mid April 2017 or late April 2017. And if it does come in April, then we'll have about 20 episodes to catch up (assuming Japan doesn't have any breaks in March/April). This is a format I can see happening since that's Disney XD's way and are re-airing the Kalos episodes daily for us to get into the format change.Yeah for the Season 2 premiere, they had two weeks of new episodes before it returned to its normal time slot, and then on the week of New Years, they had a whole week of new episodes
I really hope the wait isn't that much longer. I just want a premiere date already :x
Yeah, and I want to know how annoying Rotom's voice will be in the dub. I've gotten used to Ms Natochenny over the years (Veronica Taylor is still #1), but I've always been fine with the other dub voice actors. The whole school except for Sophocles has good voices in my opinion. Sophocles annoys me for no particular reason so his voice actor was doomed to have my hatred from the start.
Kind of disappointed that Disney XD is electing to show XY fom the start.
Makes me think that they'll just wait until series one of SM is aired in japanese and then release the dub in a block.
The first two SM episodes are also on the Disney XD app with the new dub opening, ending, and bgm.
