While the Japanese airing of "Pokémon: Origins" presented all four episodes within the same day, the U.S. debut will span across a week.
The first episode has been confirmed for Nov. 15 while the second episode will debut three days later, on Nov. 18. The penultimate episode will air Nov. 20, and the final is set for Nov. 22.
A specific time within the aforementioned dates have not been disclosed.
The four-episode special features Red and his starter Pokémon Charmander as they travel across the Kanto region. The journey for Red includes his rival Green, or Blue if you live outside of Japan, gym leaders, and confrontations by Team Rocket.
The special, although based on the first generation of the franchise, does make a reference to events in the sixth generation such as Mega Evolution, which is a prominent feature in "Pokémon X and Y."
It is unknown if "Pokémon: Origins" will ever hit U.S. television, such as Cartoon Network.
As Latinos Post reported, four million copes of "Pokémon X and Y" were sold during its first weekend launch in early October. The sales of the Kalos-region-based games set a record for the Nintendo 3DS handset console.
"Pokémon X and Y" includes nearly 70 confirmed new Pokémon, Mega Evolution, and the Pokémon Amie feature, which is the method to evolve the latest Eevee evolution, Sylveon.
