WildBrain announced in late August that it has entered into an agreement with The Pokémon Company to become the only distributor of the single-IP Pokémon FAST (free ad-supported television) channel in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The channel will stream 22 seasons of the original Pokémon anime following Ash Ketchum including The Beginning, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, Black and White, XY, and Sun and Moon.
