Pocket Monsters RéBURST (anime)

Pocket Monsters RéBURST (known outside Japan as Pokémon: RéBURST) is a Japanese animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network in Japan in 2016. The anime was licensed by ABC Family Worldwide for the United States Disney XD network. The anime premiered on Disney XD in the United States on April 13th, 2017.
A second season, Pocket Monsters RéBURST XY (aired internationally as Pokémon: RéBURST XY) began airing on Cartoon Network in Japan in June 2017 and ran until May 2018. Like the previous season, the season was also licensed by ABC Family Worldwide and aired on Disney XD. A third season, Pocket Monsters RéBURST Sun and Moon (aired internationally as Pokémon: RéBURST Sun and Moon) began airing in June 2018 and was the first Pokémon: RéBURST series to be licensed by NickFamily Studios. The third season's simuldub is currently airing on Disney XD in the United States; an uncut dub is currently being produced for SurgeAnime TOO. In September 2018, Studio Aura and OLM jointly announced a new season, Pocket Monsters RéBURST: Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee! (revealed outside Japan as Pokémon: RéBURST Pikachu/Eevee), which began airing on September 10th, 2019. The opening to the season was later revealed in January 2019 to be a cover of "Aim to Be a Pokémon Master"; the opening to NickFamily's simuldub was also revealed to be an English cover, albeit a censored version. The new anime is listed at 12 episodes.
In September 2019, OLM and Studio Aura announced that the fourth season of Pokémon: RéBURST would be the final season for the original continuity, though OLM and Studio Aura have expressed bidding on production rights to a reboot that would cover all regions.
On July 25th, 2018, ABC Family Worldwide's previous Pokémon: RéBURST license expired and NickFamily Studios re-licensed the first two series. The current licensee is Aura Television Productions outside of Japan.
