If the Team Plasma vs. Team Rocket episodes & BW026 are the ones you're talking about, then no, there have been no air-dates announced for those episodes as of now.

Sorry for bothering but, how comes?

[TheSmartOne]

Probably because people were getting sick of them being annoying and useless. They decided hey, we have these characters that could be something. Why don't we let them?

It was the best time to do something like that, too. The start of a new season which was intended to be a sort of "revamp".

[Kenshin5]

Adding to that, they were supposed to be undercover, while infiltrating Unova so they didn't alert any other criminal syndicate organizations(Team Plasma) to their presence. So they were then in the role of secret agent spy like characters until BW025.

If Japan doesn't air it anytime soon, could the dub version still air it?

As great as that would be, there are still those doubts. Like if you take into account the hoenn episode "Shaking Island Battle! Barboach VS Whiscash!!" - that episode didn't ever air in japan because of the earthquakes happening in japan. And once it came to airing it in the US, they skipped it. Though, since at the time 4Kids were handling the anime - maybe TPCi will handle it a little different.

Well, right now I can tell that Picture 3 is from the episode Battle Frontier episode "Talking A Good Game ( タワータイクーン、リラ登場！)" and my best guess at picture 4 would be "As Clear As Crystal ( サンダーとクリスタル！みずうみのひみつ！)" though that guess at four might not be right. I'll do a little reseach to find the others since I can't remember them at the top of my head. xD

[SonicTH]

Mew~, you often helped me,thank you!)
About 3-that's right,thanks))
About 4-no... It's about Zapdos (ep As Clear As Crystal), but I think there are some evolution on picture.
I will be very grateful, if somebody helps me with 1,2,4,5 shots)

In the Zoroark movie, I was wondering why the real legendary dogs were shinies when the fakes were not. My roommate didn't know either, and Team Rocket even commented on their discolouration, but the movie never explained it.

Well Kodai never really intended the Beasts to be like the Guardians, he just wanted to frame Zoroark, or there really wasn't any connection between Kodai's Illusions, Zoroark's Illusions and the Crown Beasts. The Crown Beasts just appeared to help the town from Zoroark. (unkown it was being framed)

In all honesty, Movie 13 was just a random way to promote HG/SS and B/W. Since people would need HG/SS to transfer the legendery beasts and also BW to unlock the Zoroark event. But yeah, it was at least enjoyable.

Are you sure that you're not looking at threads with the spoiler tags [Spoilers] ? Those are Japanese episode discussion threads. For example, this one. The ones without the spoiler tags in the Episode Discussion forum certainly have English titles.

Well... that shouldn't happen. I wonder why someone would use Japanese names in English episode discussion threads. You could just google the Japanese names, if you come across such threads.

There are a lot of Pokemon shorts out there, but some are hard to come by. What I'm trying to find are:

• Pikachu's Naughty Island!

• Pikachu and the Big Ice Adventure

• Pikachu's Big Twinkling Search!

• Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl "Pikachu's Mysteriously Mysterious Big Adventure!"

• Pichu Bros. Wild Adventure!

• Pokemon 3D Adventure: Find Mew!

• Pokemon 3D Adventure 2: Pikachu's Big Undersea Adventure

• Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky Beyond Time & Darkness / Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Sky Expedition ~The Final Adventure Surpassing Time and Darkness~

Before anyone says anything about the rules, I looked at them and it said not to post links to illegal content. Most of these shorts are not available in America however, and I only want the Japanese versions even if a dub is available. I can still completely see though how posting links would be inappropriate as they could lead to find other content which actually would be illegal to view or download, so if this is a problem, please PM me links instead if you can help me.

Please contact me if you know I can see these. I'd really appreciate it!

[countryemo]

I would like to see English ones, but some seem to be Jap only.

The only word I gotta say is Search. You know keyboard + google.
We cant really post where to watch them as that is against the rules.
So I remember

[Krackerz]

This has probably been asked before (if so, I'm sorry. ), but I've heard rumours that generation 5 of Pokemon will be the last. It's even on Wiki that Ash is apparently on his last ever journey. If this is the case, is there any evidence? Or is this just speculation?

[Zayin]

I doubt it; Pokemon is still a money machine. Wiki is not always reliable, I would take this as a rumour.

[Kenshin5]

If you have ever done a course paper the teacher would tell you Wikis are not credible sources. This rumor is just that a rumor. I have seen no where from Pokemon Co. that this was the last season or the last installments in the pokemon series. If they keep getting people watching and buying into the product they will keep producing it.

[POKéMIKE]

Plus, I checked Wikipedia and I can't even find what you're talking about. It's probably been removed.

[Krackerz]

I'm glad to hear it's only rumors at the moment. I wouldn't mind a shake-up of the series, but there are endless possibilities for where Pokemon can go in the future and I just can't see it ending anytime soon.
As for Wiki... erm... yeah, it doesn't seem to be on there anymore, the sentence I was talking about. Unless I was completely imagining it...

EDIT!: No! Wait, found the wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Ketchum
Third paragraph of the "In the anime" section. The sentence is "Ash is currently on his thought to be last Pokémon journey."

However, as previously said by you guys, this is wiki we're talking about...

[Kirbychu]

People ask this every generation and it's never been true. Ash has been the protagonist for 13 or so years, I'm not sure if they'll ever replace him. It's just a rumor, if it wasn't the whole fanbase would be going crazy.
