Translations
Is there any way to optimize the tables to make room for a direct translation of the Japanese titles for each episode? I realize there's not much room now...

On that note, I'm going to try finishing the transliteration (and doing the translation) for the Hosou episodes. If anyone doesn't want the translations (for consistency) they can take them out. Azure Haights 15:09, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

As the only major editor of this article, I was thinking that what we can do is the same thing for Futurama: a season-by-season summary (eg. Pokemon (anime) season 1), where the more detailed information (such as an episode summary, a translation of titles, etc). would be stored. Your thoughts? kelvSYC 04:32, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I belive that there is enough space for the English translations even when the dub title has been placed. 207.200.24.241 had already did so for the battle frontier season. Though I'm not sure if it looks messy. fnfd 04:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

My experience says, there should be no kanji in the Japanese episode titles, at least not in the eps. 1-119 that I have seen. Also, some of the episode titles have been grossly mistranslated and I am going to try to fix that from my own listing (only when the titles are seriously wrong, I'm not going to replace everything with my own). -uso.

Kids' WB! airing eps
Well, we'll wait and see if they air. When Kids' WB! airs them and they are as out of order as ToonZone.net says, they must be changed.

AG E# mixed up?
The E# for the beginning of the Advanced Generation seems mixed up. There's no way that the first 2 episodes are 240 and 241. Can someone look up and fix the errors? Kengbeng 04:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Reply to above
When Kids' WB! aired the series, they aired the first two Advanced eps as a "sneak peek" on March 15, 2003, to promote the releases of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Matty-chan 04:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

IMPORTANT
Why aren't these episodes numbered (US)


 * Rollout! Loving Donfwan!
 * Disorderly Melee! Pokemon Contest - Kinagi Convention! (Part 1)
 * Disorderly Melee! Pokemon Contest - Kinagi Convention! (Part 2)

Are they skipped?

--(unsigned comment by 207.200.34.179 on 2006-02-01)

Only time will tell as the 2 episodes before those episodes listed has not yet aired on KidsWB. (most likely within the next 1-3 weeks.) For now they are numbered accordingly assuming that they will be aired.

--fnfd 16:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Now it is confirmed that KidsWB won't air the above episodes, but should the dub numbering for AG114-116 be there or not? If so what should the numbering be? I have heard that the U.K. airs those episodes and there is even an english dub title for the episodes. --fnfd 07:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

What! Are you serious... They might well just skip the Grand Festival too.... What about Haruka-chan's saigo no Kontesuto Taikai!? (207.200.34.177 16:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC))

I don't think the skipped episodes should have numbers, it says right there:

The English episode numbers are based on their first airing either in syndication or on the WB Television Network.

I think in other countries "Love at First Flight" aired in its proper slot, as did "Get The Show on the Road!" and "A Ruin with a View". So I'm removing the dub numbers for May's contestMatty-chan 03:29, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Pokemon     ???
Someone placed this Pokemon       episode list? Is it real??? (66.25.132.168 01:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC))


 * No. It seems that someone changed some the english translation of the japanese title of season 6 (very obvious) and probaly used babelfish translaton for the jap titles.Matty-chan has now already removed them. --fnfd 09:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup?
Ok, this article contains, as far as I know, everything from the very first episode till now. Every episode so far with their numbers, the Japanese title, Romaji transcription and translation, English title, all categorised. So why is this still tagged as 'cleanup'? What can possibly be improved on it? 82.217.240.47


 * Good point. Shouldn't that tag be removed by now? 145.92.201.120 13:16, 28 February 2006 (UTC)


 * It's removed now. --fnfd 14:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

May's contest revealed!
http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/index.php?browseNetworkID=1

I added the new numbers!

Pokemon Ranger Deoxys crisis ep
Ep448/AG170 (ポケモンレンジャー! デオキシス・クライシス!!, Pokemon Ranger! Dexoys Crisis!!) was aired in Japan recently (13 April 2006) as a single 42 minute episode, but people have been changing it as though it were 2 seperate episodes. Pokeani, #pocketmonsters and Serebii.net listed it as a single episode and it is indicated as AG171. Should the episode be left as 2 seperate episodes, as a special episode (the usual opening was not shown) or as a single episode?

--fnfd 15:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

It's technically one episode now - it's only speculation at this moment that the English adaptation will air as two half-hour episodes. And we have rules about speculation here at Wikipedia... kelvSYC 15:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Openings
When it reads that it's based on the openings for each episode, do you mean the animation/music opening, or do you mean the openings by title card? Since episodes AG131-AG139 are confirmed (and possibly AG140-AG144) to use the Advanced Battle opening, shoudn't they coincide under Pokemon: Advance Battle? Cabby2 22:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, maybe we should put "Part 2 of Advanced Battle" since it's a merger of the last 3rd of Hoenn and the first half of Battle Frontier, however, it should start at "A Real Cleffa-Hanger!" IMO b/c that's when the title card changed. Matty-chan 11:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Merger?
Should this page be merged with Pokémon theme songs? I mean, if "Pokémon media and release information" redirects there... the theme song article seems kind of bland, and also, notice the Yu-Gi-Oh! media and release information and Inuyasha media and release information... I'm thinking about it... Maybe we should combine them and call it "Pokémon media and release information" and maybe add some manga stuff there too... Matty-chan 13:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it is better practice to seperate anime episodes from other stuff as the lists are collosal the way they are. -- Cat out 19:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Banned episodes
Anyone with information on the banned episodes, mainly media copies of the Japanesse versions, dubbed or not, is encouraged to contact me.

The ones i've been trying to hunt down with no success include "Holiday At alcolpoco", with the infamous swimsuit contest with James, the Safari zone episode with the gun-loving sheriff, the banned Jynx episodes, and the one I know i'll probably never find, any copy of Electric Soldier Porygon, with strobes.

Again, i'm looking for media files of these episodes. I've been looking for years, so any help is appriciated. Coolgamer 01:21, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

For the Electric Soldier Porygon episode try Ebay type in "Pokemon the banned trace episode".


 * You could also just download a filesharing program and search for them there. I'm using eDonkey right now and I've managed to track down most of them. 82.217.240.47 17:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Face 19:17, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Same here. I now got the Safari Zone episode, the 'unhealthy' Porygon episode, Tower of Terror and the Ice Cave. I still haven't managed to get my hands on the beach and the Jynx episodes though.
 * Lets be more discrete if we are to mass violate copyright, trademarks, and various other laws... -- Cat out 20:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Text that appear upon hovering
Code:  Sample:

Mitsumasa has been using a template based on the above code so that when you hover over a Japanese name, the english name would appear in a tooltip (i think that is what is called) window. Though I find it useful, it is not right to replace an existing template. However, it would be allright if a new template with the above code were to be created. --fnfd 06:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC) (edited by fnfd 06:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC))

Satoshi and Haruka! Heated Battles In Houen!!
Is this episode considered banned or banned in some countries? I remember it is aired in UK. ragnaroknike

The episode is a review of all the gym battles and pokemon contest in Hoenn by Ash and May respectively. So in some ways it can be counted as a special episode as the preceding and following episodes could skip this episode without any change in the storyline. --fnfd 15:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Should this episode be included in the banned episodes of pokemon? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.155.8 (talk • contribs)


 * It's a clip show, and it may have been pointless to dub over a clip show, so there may not have been an English version in the works... kelvSYC 22:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

This episode aired in the UK. What is the english name for it? ragnaroknike

Italics or quotes?
Recently, someone replaced the italics for the titles with quotation marks. Can somebody explain why they were changed? — Fnfd (Talk/ノート) 05:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Shortform works like episodes, issues, or short stories get quotes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit war over Japanese names
There seems to be an edit war over translations of Japanese names. I'm ending it, with page protection. Please discuss your dispute here. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The japan names are from http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_original_series_episodes. The names are correct! when i watch Electric Soldier Porygon from youtube, the name is でんのうせんしポリゴン, not 電脳戦士ポリゴン. Hence it should be correct... Only japan names for series 2 does not have chinese character.


 * There was already a discussion for this (October 28, 2005): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_episodes/Archive_1#episode_1-276, and they were no problems until know, so they don't need to change.

(Bobabobabo 18:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC))


 * It is better to put the original names so that readers will not be confuced. We should not change the origial names!!! - ragnaroknike


 * Why don't we just add another coloume for the other japan name? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.255.57.89 (talk • contribs).


 * That would'nt be necessary. Besides, the original titles for those episodes only had kana charaters. Those episodes were ment for young viewers who can't read kanji (chinese characters) and to follow the style of the Game Boy games which can't support it as the screen is too small to view the kanji clearly. Let's just end this dispute, it's been almost a week now. Everyone should just agree to either one and stick to it, though it is preferable if the episode title that's displayed in the episode itself is used. — Fnfd (Talk/ノート) 15:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree everyone should stick to one... or else add both, example List of Digimon Adventure episodes. but we need not add the pictures.


 * I think we stick to what it is now. We will make another page for all the series where it will be in the original names.

Episode 191 is final episode
TV Tokyo announced that "End of a Journey, Beginning of a Journey" is the final episode.

http://pokeani.com/news/2006_08/08-pokenews30.html

テレビ東京系で放送中のアニメ「ポケットモンスター アドバンスジェネレーション」（ポケットモンスター ADVANCED GENERATION」）の最終回が9月14日の第191話「旅の終わり、そして旅のはじまり！」となりました.

21日は「TVチャピオンSP」でポケモン関連の番組は放送されず、28日より新アニメ「ポケットモンスター ダイヤモンド＆パール」（以下ポケモンDP）が夜7時よりスタートします. なお、「ポケモンDP」の第1話のサブタイルは表記されておらず未定です. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bobabobabo (talk • contribs).

The second paragraph says that the title for the first episode of Pokemon DP is not written or have it's title confirmed. — Fnfd (Talk/ノート) 05:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

kanji?
Why are all of the episode titles except for the Advanced Generation and Diamond and Pearl episode titles are in Kanji if they are originally in Hiragana??? Should the episode titles be replaced with the hiragana titles? MrBungle79 (16:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC))

Description of Episodes
Would it not be Nice for people to have a little info on the Episodes? I've started to do it (well I've only done the first one, as I'm actually going offline soon, but it would make the whole thing a lot better than just rather having information on the films, or banned episodes. I've included a template link on my first attempt. If people want to change it, that's great! I can't get images from the Episodes I'm affraid, I don't have any way to take pictures from DVD's or videos, so I'm stumped there. Anyways, it would make the whole list a lot better in my opinion, and I'm going to be working on it myself, if no one else is, even if it takes me a whol year. Thanks!

That's not really very, descriptive of them is it... Larnu UK 21:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Episode divisions
There seems to be some insistance on having a Season 10 listing, even though this is only based on that's where Pokemon started using a new opening. I feel this makes the list inconsistant, as the the rest of the epsiodes were divided based on the US season/openings, not the Japanese ones. Besides, there no such thing in Japan as TV seasons in the way the US TV networks think of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.237.64.202 (talk • contribs)   User:70.237.64.202 19:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Haruka-chan and Takeshi-san might be staying cause Blaziken is there and in the next episode preview of "Satoshi vs Haruka! Last Battle" Haruka's Wakashyamo is glowing might be indicating a evolution!? And Takeshi's Numakurō evolved this is not 100% confirmed! User:Mitsumasa 12:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

D/P episodes
List of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl episodes


 * I think we let it stay like this for now. Until this page is unprotected, we will rediect.


 * Let's put the episodes with the "Digimon infobox". It's better, more informative than a common table.


 * Where are you going to get the images http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/pokemon_dp/main_index.html???
 * Yes, or http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml I think that the best is use the same images that are in Serebii, creating a model.
 * After this page is unprotected are we going to put it back in the normal format or digimon infobox format? Or we make another page (List of Pokémon Series 1 episodes and List of Pokémon Advanced Generation episodes) using the Digimon infobox format?
 * Digimon Infobox is the best option. It can show screenshots, title, japanese title, airdate, episode number... and I think that is better make different articles (List of Pokémon episodes, List of Pokémon Advanced episodes and List of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl episodes). Like this, we'll occupy a lesser size.
 * However, this page will not be changed. We will leave it as it is The other page is only to provide more information.
