Bad news for fans of Pokémon who can only watch it on GMTV.
UPDATED 31/08: Pokémon on GMTV2 details!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

UPDATED! 31/08/02
Pokémon (not Master Quest) will be shown on GMTV2 on weekdays starting on Monday. We do not yet know what episodes will be shown, although they are expected to be from the third, Johto Journies, series. Pokémon will be shown around 7:30, if Psythor's short term memory isn't lying to him.

I have just recieved an e-mail from the producer and presenter of GMTV kids, Jamie Rickers, stating that he has not yet had the 5th series of Pokémon, Master Quest, confirmed for broadcast on GMTV.

Don't worry though, because the chances are this will change in the future and I suspect GMTV viewers will be seeing Master Quest around Christmas and the New Year.

Also, PUK will be contacted as soon as the dates for the GMTV2 (broadcast daily between 6am and 9:25am on the digital channel, ITV2)showings of Pokémon are confirmed.

The current run of Pokémon Johto League Champions ends on September 1st (this Sunday) somewhat prematurely. The last episode in the run will be The Joy of Water Pokémon- three episodes before the proper last episode of the series, Machoke, Machoke Man.
