Saw this on /a/;


 * 


 * >"Black and White" will premiere in the fall, replacing the currently airing "Diamond and Pearl" with an all new cast of characters. One such character, Zoroark, debuts in the upcoming "Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl the Movie: Phantom Ruler Zoroark," set to premiere this summer.


 * >It's certainly the end of an era, as Ash and Pikachu have been kicking it together since 1997. As of right now, there aren't any details on the types of characters and creatures that will move into the spotlight, but in a very real sense, "Black and White" sounds like a total rebranding of the "Pokemon" franchise.


 * Good thing too; 600 episodes is more then enough. It should have ended after Ash beat GARY OAK at the Johto league to be honest.
