Pokemon Journeys is the 23rd season of the successful world-renowned franchise Pokemon.

The new season goes by the title “Pocket Monsters” in Japan and Pokemon W in South Korea.

Through the franchise’s official website and Youtube channel, Pokemon Journeys: The Series announced that the show is changing its Japanese broadcast time slot starting from October 9th to Fridays at 6:55 pm JST, i.e Fridays at 2:55 am PDT.

The change in the time slot to Friday may have been a clever strategy to rope in even more viewers and take the already successful series’ ratings to new heights!

About Pokemon

Pokemon, first released in 1996, is set up in a world where humans catch monsters and store them in pocket-sized poke-balls, thus the name Pocket Monsters or Pokemon.

They are creatures with an affinity to certain elements and some superhuman abilities related to that particular element.

Revolving around a teenage boy Ash Ketchum, it takes us through his journey to becoming the most accomplished Pokemon trainer the world has ever seen.
