Title: CiTV (UK) to show Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon (and Movie 19 again)
Post by: Umby2000 on April 06, 2017, 16:28
... So, yeah. I wasn't actually going to bother starting this topic as I have zero interest in watching Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon and frankly the scheduling for the new episodes isn't particularly consistent. But I thought I'd better, so here goes.

According to my Sky TV Guide, CiTV are showing the first episode of Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon (Alola to New Adventure!) on Tuesday 11th April 2017 at 7:25am (with a later repeat at 6pm). They are then showing the second episode (The Guardian's Challenge!) on Wednesday 12th April 2017 at 7:25am (with a later repeat at 6pm) and the third episode (Loading the Dex) on Thursday 13th April 2017 at 7:25am (presumably with a repeat at 6pm but at the time of writing my TV Guide doesn't go that far~). Ordinarily I would say that presumably these (bad) broadcast times would continue (as prior to showing Sun and Moon they were repeating XYZ in that slot)... but I can't. According to CiTV's Twitter (https://mobile.twitter.com/ChildrensITV/status/848868476081123328?p=v) account:

We're airing new eps in small bursts around school holidays as they come through, but weekly on a Sat to keep your Pokémon fix going!

Like I said, not particularly consistent. Sigh. All Pokemon episodes broadcast by CiTV are available on the ITV Player (http://www.itv.com/hub/pokemon/1a6988) for a while afterwards though so that's... something. I guess. As the topic's title suggests, they're also repeating Pokemon Movie 19: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel on Saturday 8th April at 9:25am for anyone who hasn't managed to catch it yet. Personally... I'm done with the Pokemon anime. 'Never thought that I would say that but after 18 years... yeah. I'm done. The style of the Sun and Moon anime is just not my thing. ... Although the next Pokemon movie does look good. >.>;; Edit: And now it doesn't. -prods lack of Misty/Brock-

Edit: Just an update on the scheduling situation. >.>;; On Friday 14th April 2017, CiTV are showing the fourth episode of Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon (First Catch In Alola, Ketchum-Style!) at 7:25am (with a later repeat at 6pm). On the subject of weekend slots, CiTV ARE showing the first episode of Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon on Saturday 15th April 2017 at 9:55am (with a later repeat at 6pm). Presumably once the Easter Holiday/Half Term morning slots finish, that'll be where the new episodes will be shown in future. My listings make no mention of Pokemon being shown on Monday 17th April 2017 but that doesn't mean the morning slots won't continue on Tuesday, etc. So basically, if you want to watch it on weekdays you'll have to keep an eye on it. >.>;;
