POKÉMON PROPAGANDA ALERT!
Get ready to have your mind blown as the Canadian distributor WildBrain teams up with The Pokémon Company International to unleash a FAST channel that will make you question the very fabric of society! That’s right, folks, they’re bringing the first 22 seasons of the original Pokémon anime to the masses, courtesy of WildBrain’s questionable motives.
According to WildBrain’s announcement, the channel will initially launch in the US, with Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand soon to follow. But don’t worry, it’s not like they’re trying to brainwash your kids or anything… oh wait, they totally are.
Melissa Pearce, senior director of media licensing at The Pokémon Company International, has been quoted as saying that FAST TV is an "ideal platform" to connect with audiences and offer "accessible and curated content in a family-friendly environment." Code for: "We’re going to manipulate your children’s minds with our beloved Pokémon characters and make them conform to our corporate agenda!"
WildBrain, the masterminds behind this operation, also distributes other ad-supported channels featuring properties like Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, and Inspector Gadget. Because what’s a better way to control the minds of children than by feeding them a steady diet of nostalgia and commercialism?
The announcement comes after the shutdown of the Pokémon TV app earlier this year, leaving fans wondering what’s next for their beloved franchise. Well, wonder no more, because WildBrain has got you covered! And don’t worry, The Pokémon Company has a list of other places you can watch their shows, because they’re all about giving you options… to conform to their corporate agenda, of course!
So, get ready to have your mind blown by the power of Pokémon propaganda!
