Yeah they just confirmed that it'll be a week of New episodes.

That's pretty crazy. If they cared about not being super behind, why not just start airing things earlier? A week of Pokemon should be interesting.
It's probably the rules of the network. They want to have huge batches ready. The network rules programming and will do anything to keep things as they want to.
Good thing Naruto Shippuden pretty much died because of them so Toonami would get it back...

Possibly to promote switching to a new channel? Good thing it's just 2 more months of waiting rather than waiting until like July or August.

I wonder what's going to happen after they air eps3-10 from Saturday to Saturday. Weekly episodes on Saturdays, or wait until they have 10 more episodes to air a whole week?
At least they gave Pokemon a time that normal people wake up on for Saturday. 9 am is way better than 6/7 am.
Who knows why Cartoon Network did that.
The network doesn't see any potential in letting anime that's for children air at reasonable hours, but you can tell they dislike it in general since they have zero advertisements in their commercials. Also, it's surely an inconvenience for programs that aren't made specifically for CN since they can't control them under their thumbs 24/7 other than airing them (unlike Teen Titans Go. Oh, Christina Miller just LOVES shoving it to our faces 24/7).
They would no doubt eradicate the rest of the non-CN-made shows in a heartbeat and replace it with something else (the usual answer being use Teen Titans Go for it). Followed by that, they would put Toonami on the chopping block. Adult Swim? Oh, that's staying forever all because of Family Guy reruns amassing too many views.
Hopefully we won't have to wait for months like this every year.
Agreed. I wouldn't mind a week's worth of episodes for when a new generation starts though. But not for every time a new season starts.
wobbuffet's dub voice actor changed. he's voiced by erica shroeder now instead of kayzie rogers. was a good 16-year run for rogers.
