This Saturday February 27th there will be a massive Pokémon event on Twitch. The event will start at 10AM EST, fans can tune in to watch Pokémon discussion, gameplay, and other activities. Starting at 6PM EST on Twitch.tv/TwitchWatchesPokemon, Twitch will kick off an animation marathon for 24 hours that will include movies, favorite episodes, and animation specials around the clock until 6PM EST Sunday.
Below you can find a quote directly from Matthew DiPietro SVP of Marketing at Twitch:
“The Pokémon marathon is notable for more than being a beloved show that fits perfectly into our community’s wheel house; like the success of Bob Ross’ show on our platform, it affirms the value of Twitch as a destination for linear community-driven appointment viewing. By bucking the notion of binge watching in isolation, it offers a social video experience valued by the Twitch community which is absent from the current media environment. Pop culture has essentially turned over a new leaf with millions watching it happen.”
