last year Disney purchased Fox and what that means is that they're going to have

the rights to air pretty much everything that was under Fox the seventeen point

three billion dollar deal includes everything as far as x-men Fantastic

Four TV shows movies alien planet of the apes diehard home alone Independence Day

netted the museum American Horror Story It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia The

Simpsons the shield x-files mash Buffy the Vampire Slayer the list goes on and

on as far as all the things that it owns the fact there's a meme going around as

far as Bart Simpson making fun of Mickey Mouse and the fact that Disney now owns

that joke is just a little funny

however on Disney XD they now have the rights to show all of Pokemon by show

all the Pokemon I mean exclusively the Pokemon and animated series the Pokemon

animated series was under Fox it's weird because when I was growing up I watched

it on WB 11 I'm sure someone bought them and someone bought them etc that's how

that's how companies work boys and girls but even if you go to Disney now go calm

you can actually watch any episode of Pokemon and pretty much I believe this

is all the movies most of the movies oh no there's only eight movies here okay

you could actually go in there and watch any season of any Pokemon episode

through your cable provider so if you have optimum Comcast Roadrunner etc you

can go on there log in and watch Pokemon animated

episodes for free yeah that's what I just said

oh it's weird watching Pokemon on the Disney website now keep in mind they

have the rights to show the anime that does not mean that Disney owns Pokemon

that's a big confusion here especially with Pokemon typically having a younger

fanbase and not necessarily thirty year olds like myself who enjoy Pokemon

although we're a large majority of them not a majority we're a large stake in it

this does not mean that they have the rights to the Pokemon themselves those

are all official trademarks of the Pokemon company they also don't have the

rights to the trading card game the video games anything else like that well

it's funny though is this has been an idea that's been talked about for a very

long time major publications love to talk about a giant glomer it like Disney

purchasing a company like Nintendo or characters like Pokemon since they do

fit very well into the young the young child idea audience viewer base the

viewer base let's go with that while it may be just to fill up their lineup on

Disney XD it's also worth noting that they are going to be launching their own

streaming service Disney that is and they're going to be able to have it so

you can pretty much watch anything that they have the rights to which is this

huge Fox library the Disney library the Marvel Library and in addition to that

the Pokemon library I was actually thinking about signing up for the

service just because well I am eventually gonna have kids but more

important than that I'm gonna be able to watch Iron Man 2 or any of the Marvel

movies whenever I want since I don't own DVDs anymore it

happened all my DVDs now if you're a fan of the Pokemon anime and you've been

keeping up with it and it's recent times it's important to note that they own the

rights to distribution and they're not going to be having any creative input as

far as what's going on for the show in the future so if you think that you're

gonna see Mickey Mouse in an episode of Pokemon that's never going to happen

well Disney could eventually buy Nintendo or Pokemon company in the

future and then yes we could see that but for the time being

that is not the case whatsoever you're not going to see any Disney related

characters or anyone from the Marvel Universe or anyone from Fox or The

Simpsons appearing in Disney just so that's very clear that's not going to be

the case you don't need to worry about that because that would just be weird so

guys that's gonna be wrapping up this little saying that just talking about

the current politics of what's going on with Pokemon and everything else like

that since it is a trending search in Google right now I'm not too sure why I

figured I would come in here and I'm letting you guys heard the story since I

am a little familiar with it if you have any questions leave them down below if

you learn something new do me a favor leave a thumbs up on the video if you're
