Wikipedia Anime Episode Counts
I am currently looking at the article on wikipedia by the name of "List of Anime Series by Episode Counts" and there is something that strikes me as odd about this article. In the article the Pokemon series is listed as three different series. Further because it is listed as three different series it chronicles the series' episodes separately in each of these sections of the saga. Worse yet, the article does not appear to have been updated to include the most recent renditions of the series (the Black and White chapter) thus it is not chronicling the ongoing episodes of the series.
The problem with this is that according to another article on wikipedia that lists all of the episodes to date (both those released in Japan, and those released in America), there are currently 746 episodes of the Pokemon series. This isn't counting the movies, specials, and what have you that keep coming out. This number of episodes would place the series somewhere in between "Shima Shima Tora no Shimajirō" and "Kotowaza House" in the number of episodes that Pokemon actually has, assuming that Pokemon were to be counted as a single series, instead of 3 to 4 separate series'. So my question is, does anyone know why Pokemon is being counted as 3 to 4 separate series, instead of as 1 single series?
P.S. I would have linked to the articles, but apparently I can't until I have made 15 posts on this forum...
