Thank you very much! Team rocket voice seems not really like what I need, but I found some other interesting.

In the original series theme song, there is a scene where Pikachu runs under a girl's skirt. Who is this girl?

It's not known who she is, but she seems to take on an appearence of a the Lass (trainer class) trainer from the games. She has not made any other appearance in the anime though.

okey,so I didn't watch Pokemon from like Christams since I started watching Naruto(love it :D)so I would just want to know what basically happened there so far like what pokemon ash and iris have(and the green guy Cilan?no,ok i don't know his name)and everything like how many badges does ash have?

[Kenshin5]

The best way to find out is too just watch the episodes. If you are really interested just go to Bulbapedia and they list all(or most) of the episodes with Synopsis.

Just watch the episodes, its not like you missed over 100 episodes from the Black and White series.

Like the others said, research on the episodes on Bulbapedia or some other resource.

If you'd like, I can give you a rundown on what's happened so far:

In Japan: The Don Tournament is still going on. Cilan beats Trip, while Ash battles Langley (which isn't done yet)

In America: Ash and co. are in the Litwick mansion.

This can go in the FAQ thread, so I'm going to go ahead and move it there.

I live in the UK and I hard that I can watch the Black & White series on CITV. Does anyone know what time the show comes on and on what days?

[Jorah]

Black and White is on 11am on Saturday's and Sunday's. However, they're repeating the first 15 or so episodes at the moment, and will start showing new episodes in September :) http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wik...this_September

It seems to me as if a Johto boxset should've already been released by now. As far as I know the original 1st season sold very well, and I'm not totally sure about the Orange Islands.

Does anyone have any speculations about why Johto hasn't been boxsetted as of yet? I'm curious to hear what everyone has to say on this.

[Kenshin5]

The only ones I have seen is a Australian boxset, and those won't play on US/Canadian DVD Players.

As far as speculation your guess it as good as mine, just whenever Pokemon Co. feels like releasing it. Maybe contact a Pokemon Co. person and inquire about it.

[Lady Gaga]

If it hasnt been released by now, I dont think it every will :P

[BDT]

I have contacted Viz Media via twitter over a year ago and asked about Seasons 3/4/7/8 box sets and this is what they had to say.

VIZMedia
There you are! Sorry for the wait, here's what our VE dept had to report "They have been released previously only as episodics.
...Elements is the latest combination of various episodes from Seasons 1-8. Lately, there hasn't been enough demand for boxsets...


Viz Media isnt doing well I reckon, I used to import the dvd (I live in the UK) So as you can tell I bought Season 1 & 2 from them and all of the Naruto. But they screwed up with Bleach box sets and now doing it to Naruto Shippuden. So maybe they ain't selling the dvds that well. But still? I want the rest of the season and they still released Diamond & Pearl box sets.

Importing Pokemon box sets from Australia is far too expensive anyways even tho it's PAL and will work for me.

[Koriaku]

They really need to hold off on releasing the latest seasons, and focus more on the earlier. Pokemon used to be really big around the Johto era and I think sales of the Johto boxset would match the sale of Kanto. Or if anything, make the set a limited release with only a few sets available.

Just had a side thought:
We all buy the boxsets just for the episodes, but if the sets included extras, would that be a greater influence into purchasing the sets? or do you not care if it came with extras?

[TheFuturePokemon]

I got a question.
In the dub Iris says "What a kid"
err what does she say in the Japaneses version.

I have a question : In DP180 Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port! サトシＶＳケンゴ！それぞれの船出！！

Satoshi VS Kengo ! Sailing for Respective Roads!! (Bulbapedia), what did Dawn say (or think) right after she said goodbye to Kenny (on the ship) (or right before Ash asked where she was) ? I can't hear english well enough, plz help!

[CliveKoopa]

In Princess vs Princess, what is the music what plays just as Bulbasaur and Vulpix are getting licked by Lickitung called? This piece of music plays in several early episodes but I can't seem to find it on any soundtrack.

I tried my best to see if I could find anything that matched, but sadly no. There are a lot of unreleased BGM that they have never released, so that may be the problem. I think Jorah would be the perfect person to ask in a question releated to this sort of thing.

In the english dubbed episode, at that part at the end of the letter you hear her read out "P.S. I have to admit, and I hope you don't mind- you looked kinda handsome when you beat Ash"

I just remembered that the music also plays in the first episode just when Ash takes Misty's bike.

[Jorah]

Checked episode 1, and yes, unfortunately the track you're talking about is a 4Kids dub track, which is not released. Surprised the days when I was obsessive over the BGM is remembered @~@

[CliveKoopa]

Really? I never would have thought that was a 4Kids track. It sounds quite good for 4Kids.

[TheFuturePokemon]

Well i found this. It seems similar.
