Pokémon! Gotta Catch Eh, Whatever...

'Pokémon! Gotta Catch Eh, Whatever...' is a cartoon series made by MattBoo for YouTube with his shared CNHubNicktoons channel. The show is a parody and tribute to the Pokémon anime and features both Ash Ketchum and Pikachu and will feature all of their sidekicks Brock, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, and Cilan (all will appear in expected times). Team Rocket will also occasionally make mischievous appearences. The show had a sneak peek of an episode premiered on November 16, 2012 and officially premiered on December 15, 2012.

Plot
The plot for the show will be the same in the anime.

Production
The show was inspired by a drawing MattBoo made that spoofed the Pokémon anime, and that picture became the show's logo. Production started August 2012 and is currently, yet slowly, being made and proccesed to a YouTube series. The show is a close rival to The Mine Guy (another YouTube series by MattBoo, however done by cel animation and not Flipnote) and pretty much wiped it out nearly completely. ''Pokémon! Gotta Catch Eh, Whatever...'' is the first public cartoon series by MattBoo that has dialogue. The show is made and animated with Flipnote Studio, an animation software application MattBoo uses on his Nintendo DSi XL. In an episode on YouTube, it's the first three episodes from where it left of, which were single episodes for Flipnote Studio, combined into one single episode.

Episodes
So far, 26 episodes have been renewed for the first season, and so far, the show had 1 1/3 of 26 being produced and 1 of 26 have aired.
