Get ready, trainers: the original Pokémon anime will soon be getting a new home. The Pokémon Company has with Canadian company WildBrain to be the distributor for a single-IP free ad-supported television channel that’s all Pokémon, all the time. The deal covers the first 22 seasons of the animated tales of Ash Ketchum and his electrifying buddy Pikachu.
The FAST channel will arrive first in the US, followed by launches in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. WildBrain has existing relationships with several TV platforms, including Samsung, LG, Roku, Tubi and Pluto, but it didn’t share any specific dates or likely homes for the future Pokémon channel. The company specializes in children’s programming. It operates FAST channels for game franchises Sonic and Super Mario as well as kid-focused titles such as Teletubbies, Strawberry Shortcake and Caillou.
Fans should be pleased to have this new development from the Pokémon Company after its Pokémon TV venture was shuttered earlier this year. If you’re looking for other Pokémon content, stateside viewers should be sure to catch up on the Netflix exclusive before the show leaves in September. You’ve also got the latest show, , which landed on the streaming service in February.
