Here's an early airing of Pokémon on Kids WB, in particular episode 66, "The Evolution Solution." Always loved these bumpers Kids WB had for Pokémon, although I'm not a fan of the rather.. unpleasant singing in the split-screen credit promos, heheh. Funnily enough a Digimon commercial plays here, which is neat, and there's also a promo for Toy Story 2, aka one of my favorite series of movies.

Quick fun fact, the reason WCIU-TV carried Kids WB instead of WGN was because WGN had declined carrying it, in favor of locally produced programming. WGN's superstation feed carried the block nationally though on cable/satellite, leaving only the local feed without it.
