Thanks, that answers a lot of my questions. Still a shame though, would love to see Charizard and the others make a comeback.

As Dragonomega said next time please use this topic.

His pokemon from previous generations usually return at the League. Or in Battle Frontier like things. So more then likely if he participates in a World Tournament he will bring back his previous pokemon.

What are those best wishes episodes?

[Charicific]

.....? What? What are you trying to imply?

[ShadowStriatonTriad]

They're the newest version of Pokemon. Generaton 5 set in motion, if you will.

[trestany]

But why are Best wishes when Black and white aren't finished?


Sorry for my English

[Kenshin5]

Best Wishes is the series that it goes by in Japan. As Black and White is too other regions around the global. So in essence they are the same thing as Black and White. Both based in Isshu/Unova and both cover the same things. Also in the future if you have quick questions, please use this topic instead of creating your own

[trestany]

You can see the list of pokemon that they have or had that evolved, this also applies for other characters. So if you have interest in them search their pages as well. Next time also use this topic if you have Simple Questions.

[trestany]

I ask for something really different. I know all evolutions by heart.

Is the sunglasses krokorok wears, an item used in the games.(Blackglasses would make sense cause it's a dark type) or is it just for style purposes.

The sunglasses have no function, it's purely aesthetic.

They also look nothing like the BlackGlasses.

Hey does anyone know where I can watch episodes from the first two generations online? I only have VHS copies and no VCR here in the living room to play them on. The site I have been using for my other shows is not providing the specific episode I had hoped to watch tonight.

I think you mean BGM, it stands for Background Music. You know, the music that usually plays in the background of the anime, whether it's during a battle, after an achievement. etc.

Why do none of Ash's water-types ever evolve? I've always been curious about this.

Not true... Krabby evolved. Most of his Water types are proud Pokemon. Oshawott & Corphish are proud Pokemon. Totodile honestly seems quite weak, so it's not ready. Squirtle is part of the Squirtle squad... so it would ruin it. ): And he just caught Palpitoad.

[Pokemon_Hero]

I've watched today's episode and the pictures as well and didn't see this battle there

was it skipped?

[droomph]

Ahhhhhh I have a quick little question...

BW2 hasn't been released in the US, has it? Just wondering because the Online episodes haven't showed them yet, but I'm seeing episode articles on Bulbapedia that says it's up to like, ~BW65 in English. Also I can't watch Pokémon on TV (I don't have the right channels :() so excuse me if it's been out since forever or hasn't been released yet.

Nope they haven't aired in the US yet. :)

[droomph]

So when should they air? Soon? Has there been a confirmation on the dates yet?

It'll probably be on the 6th October. Since that's when the Pokèstar episode is due to air if there's no breaks/double episodes. And the games come out on the 7th. But no, there's no official dates.

[DalkonCledwin]

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...
