A new news article has been posted!
Cartoon Network and the Pokémon Company have revealed that the next season of the English dub will begin on Saturday, January 18th, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. A trailer for the Pokémon the Series: XY was posted on YouTube and it features a new rendition of the original dub opening theme.

It was also revealed that Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening will air on Cartoon Network on January 11th, 2014, almost three months after the 16th movie premiered on the station. Both the Region 1 DVD and the Australian/New Zealand DVD do not include this vital prologue OVA. It originally aired a few days before the Japanese theatrical premiere in July of 2013. The Japanese Mewtwo pack DVD release does include this prologue OVA though.odes/viewep/1643/">prologue OVA.

Along the way, they’re joined by some new friends—a genius inventor named Clemont, his little sister Bonnie, and Serena, a Trainer on her first journey.

This is really pathetic. It's supposed to be releases as a prologue not an epilogue. To make matters worse they didn't include the OVA prologue on the English dub DVD's adding further insult to dub viewers. To say that this is half-assed is an understatement.

I can just see the remastered version on CN now, logos everywhere, cut scenes, low bitrate, wrong aspect ratio, I'm sure it will be great!
