Starting next Monday, May 15th, the Pokemon anime series will replace Yu-Gi- Oh! on the Cartoon Network's late afternoon Miguzi Block in the prime 5 pm (ET, PT) spot.  Another anime, Zatch Bell (see 'Zatch Bell on the Daily Miguzi Block') remains entrenched in the 4:30 pm (ET, PT) slot, which means that anime series account for half of the two-hour Miguzi block, though the current lineup may only be temporary since Cartoon Network likes to continually change and refresh its key daily venues such as the Miguzi.

The Pokemon anime is also a key part of the popular Kids WB Saturday morning lineup, where it airs at 10 am Starting next Monday, May 15th the Pokemon anime series will replace Yu-Gi- (ET, PT).  While the Pokemon CCG and related Pokemon merchandise have lost most of their force in hobby venues, it remains a perennial player in the mass market.
