BBC to be the new home of Pokémon in the UK, with Pokémon Horizons premiering in December
After more than 20 years since the Pokémon anime first broadcast in the UK on commercial rival ITV – briefly becoming the star feather in the cap of Ant & Dec’s Saturday morning show at the time – the BBC has become the new home of Pokémon. The latest series, Pokémon Horizons – the first since Ash & Pikachu’s departure earlier this year – will broadcast the first 6 episodes this December on CBBC and the iPlayer.
