Best Summer Themed Episodes

[Jonathan1990]

With it been August the summer holiday season I was just wondering what would be some good summer seasonal episodes to watch. I did ask this question on the Pokemon website for an idea of a Summer Channel after they did a Charizard Channel with the best episodes of Ash's and a Bug Week Channel which was all the episodes of bug Pokemon. One summer themed episode I think would be good got banned and that was Beauty And The Beach. Which ones do you think would be good summer themed Pokemon episodes?

The original series has a bunch of great summer-theme'd episodes. To name a few; Beauty and the Beach, Beach Blank-Out Blastoise and The Pi-Kahuna.

The Beauty and the Beach dub did manage to air in 2000 but was edited to remove any scenes deemed inappropriate for younger audiences.

"Pokémon Ghosts and the Summer Festival" (alternatively, "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak") is probably my single favorite Pocket Monsters episode. I'm also a big fan of the Pokémon Summer Academy episodes back in DP.

The Dawn and Undella arc from Best Wishes is another good group of summer episodes. A lot of stuff happens within a short amount of episodes and we get to see Dawn and Cynthia make a return in the Best Wishes series. The arc is eight episodes long, and the few episodes that occur before and after the arc are also really good.

To add to that, there is also an upcoming summer camp arc for the XY series that will soon air in Japan, if you have the means to watch them. The first of the three episodes airs on August 14.
