Pokemon Anime! Now Moved to Disney XD!

Can't. I'm in college.

Since they still won't schedule new dub Sun/Moon episodes YET, I'm beginning to think they won't be shown in the US until summer, maybe even fall.

I'm beginning to believe that Disney simply offered TPCI a crapload of cash for the rights to air the Pokémon anime, an offer which couldn't be matched by Cartoon Network (similarly to how Fox wrestled away the NFL's NFC package from CBS (who was unable to match Fox's bid of nearly $1.6 billion thanks to being led by Larry Tisch) in 1994, only this time, since Disney XD is a cable channel, there's no buying an ownership stake in a major television station ownership group with the intent of making a network affiliation deal (a la the Fox/New World Communications deal of 1994, which was connected to the aforementioned NFL deal.)

I'd like to hope that Cartoon Network didn't attempt to match Disney. xD
