U.S. audiences will get their first look at the new animated series Pokémon Chronicles when it premieres on Saturday, June 3, at 7 p.m. (ET/PT) during Cartoon Network’s Toonami block. Cartoon Network has acquired 22 episodes of the show, a collection of mini-stories featuring a mix of new characters and old friends.

Pokémon Chronicles and focuses on what the characters they do when they’re not accompanying Ash on his action-packed journeys. Examples include Misty’s adventures as the Cerulean Gym Leader, Pikachu’s exciting winter vacation and the exploits of the Team Rocket duo, Butch and Cassidy.

“With new characters, monsters and never-before seen stories, we think Pokémon Chronicles will be a great addition to the popular and long-running Pokémon franchise,” states Bob Higgins, senior VP of programming and original animation for Cartoon Network. “This is a real bonus for fans who have been watching since the beginning of the series and we’re thrilled to finally bring these episodes to the U.S.”

Introduced in North America in September of 1998, the Pokémon brand has generated more than $25 billion in worldwide retail sales. More than 14 billion trading cards have sold globally to date, and the animated series on Kids' WB! has consistently ranked among the top shows for boys ages 6-11.

Late last year, Pokémon USA ended its successful, eight-year, exclusive relationship with 4Kids, which helped to promote the anime property over multiple platforms, including television, film and consumer products. Now all brand activity outside of Asia is being handled by Pokémon USA Inc.'s own licensing group.
