Altogether, these verses above say that God loves all of us so much that he gave his one and only son to die on the cross, in the most unimaginable way, to pay the penalty of our sins. But, those who turn to believe in Jesus will have eternal life! That can happen by confessing to God that you've committed unrighteousness, he will be happy to forgive you and purify you. If you pray the prayer below, and if it touched you in some way, please [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pok%C3%A9monFan12345&action=edit&section=new let me know!] Love you all — [[User:PokémonFan12345|PokémonFan12345]] ([[User talk:PokémonFan12345|talk]]) 02:14, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I won't contribute here any longer, not because I hate the contributors or the wiki itself but y'all were nice and the wiki is cool because it covers my favorite franchise and I like to correct a few things. I'm mainly busy nowadays and it'll be like that for a long time from now on. Good luck to every one of you and may God bless you, and I recommend that you read God's [[#Message of salvation|Message of salvation]], see you in the skies!
:P.S. Below is some general things I made up during my time contributing to this wiki, and in the subpages section there is a link to a unfinished draft, which you can edit without awaiting my approval. You don't have to finish it, but it'd be great to see it on the mainspace. Welp, goodbye then!

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:07, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
:I apologize for any inconvenience, I was just setting up, and yes I made multiple contributions to the Pikmin Wiki articles.

== User welcomes ==

Please don't just welcome random new users. We welcome users when they've made their first edit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:57, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

== Arc and blurb edits ==

I have gone through and undone all of your edits on the Original Series arc pages. We do not note the arcs for the Original Series sans for the final episode of that arc. Also, please do not edit blurbs without double checking the official Pokémon website's episode page as the blurbs are written there exactly as they appear on the company website.

== Nugget Bridge ==

As I said, it will be moved once it has been approved by the editorial board. Not every fan site would be notable, and if you feel that they are, you can ask on of the editorial board members for it to be approved.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

==Talk page and Archiving Pages==
Sad to see you are leaving but should you decide to return and edit, please make sure to link to your talk page archives from your main user talk page. Also, user talk pages cannot redirect to other pages. Should you decide to return and make contributions, you're always welcome to ask a staff member for help if you feel unsure on something.

'''Thing one''': if you wish to archive your talk page, copying the content to another page is not the right way to do it. You must move your talk page to the archived title that you wish it to have, and then re-create your main talk page (with a link to your archive). This is detailed in the {{bp|talk page policy}}.

'''Thing two''': comments on your talk page should never be removed. (This is also in the talk page policy.) If you don't want to see them or something, you can archive your talk page.

I've restored the comments you removed in improperly archiving your talk page and deleted the improperly created archive. You're welcome to archive it properly if you wish.

Bulbapedia talk:April Fools' Day 2022/Duck (Pokémon)

PokémonFan12345: /* I don't get it */

Can I just say the '''Blue (Japan)''' entry in Game locations was an excellent touch on this year's April Fool? With that convoluted acquisition method, there is no way it would get through the glitchy chaos that was Generation I without at least one entry messing it up somehow. Very nicely done.

'''Pokémon TV''' is a free video service provided by [[The Pokémon Company International]] that provides select episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]] to viewers. It was first accessible to users in November 2010. It can be viewed through the internet with a web browser, by downloading the free "Pokémon TV" app on the {{wp|App Store (iOS/iPadOS)|App Store}} for {{wp|iOS}} and iPadOS (with {{wp|Chromecast}} support), on the {{wp|App Store (tvOS)|App Store}} for {{wp|tvOS}} ({{wp|Apple TV#4th generation|Apple TV 4th generation}}), on {{wp|Google Play}} for {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}} (with Chromecast support), on the {{wp|Amazon Appstore}} for the {{wp|Amazon Fire TV}}, on the {{wp|Roku}} Channel Store for Roku devices, and on the [[Nintendo Switch]] Nintendo eShop.

==Available content==
Pokémon TV is available both in [[Pokémon.com|the official Pokémon website]] and as an app in a total of 13 languages: English ({{pmin|the United States|United States}} and {{pmin|the United Kingdom|United Kingdom}}), {{pmin|France|French}}, {{pmin|Germany|German}}, {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}, {{pmin|Spain|European Spanish}}, {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}}, {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}}, {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}}, {{pmin|Finland|Finnish}}, {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian}}, {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}}, {{pmin|Russia}}n, and {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}}.

As the service is operated by The Pokémon Company International, it is region-locked so that is not available in Asian countries where [[The Pokémon Company]] retains distribution rights. In particular, it is not available in Japan, {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}}, {{pmin|Vietnam}}, {{pmin|Thailand}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Nepal}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Bangladesh}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}}, Brunei, Cambodia, North Korea, {{pmin|South Korea}}, Samoa, {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Mongolia, Myanmar, {{pmin|Greater China|Macau}}, Laos, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Pakistan}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Afghanistan}}, {{pmin|South Asia|Sri Lanka}}, Papua New Guinea, {{pmin|Greater China|Mainland China}}, and {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}. The Nintendo Switch version is currently unavailable in Russia and New Zealand but is due to be released in both.

Episodes on the service are divided into a number of channels, which contain a collection of episodes and are rotated regularly. Movies, special episodes, and selections of episodes are also made available in the service for a limited time.

===Episodes===
For the American English service, episodes from ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'' (seasons [[S01|1]] and [[S02|2]]), ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver]]'' (season [[S03|3]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' (seasons [[S20|20]], [[S21|21]], and [[S22|22]]), and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' (season [[S23|23]]) are available.

''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver]]'' (seasons [[S04|4]] and [[S05|5]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' (seasons [[S06|6]], [[S07|7]], [[S08|8]], and [[S09|9]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' (seasons [[S10|10]], [[S11|11]], [[S12|12]], and [[S13|13]]), ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' (season [[S14|14]], [[S15|15]] and [[S16|16]]), and ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' (seasons [[S17|17]], [[S18|18]], and [[S19|19]]) were previously available, but have since been rotated out.

Currently, episodes have been added monthly by [[season]] and rotated out by [[series]], with the exception of ''[[Original series|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning]]'' and all seasons of Pokémon: The Series: Sun & Moon and Journeys: The Series. Prior to the February 2019 overhaul, the service made ten episodes available for each series, rotating every Friday to remove the earliest five episodes and add the next five.

The episodes below are excluded from rotations in the following languages:
* Danish: Seasons 3, 4, 5
* Finnish: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
* Norwegian: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
* Swedish: Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5
* Russian: Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The other language services otherwise have identical availability to the American English service with the exception of the currently airing season.

===Movies===
For the American English service, ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea]]'' is currently available until April 1st, 2022.

One [[Pokémon movie]] is normally made available for one or two weeks per month in release order. ''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]'', ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' are not shown on the service due to their rights being owned by [[Miramax Films]]. ''Pokémon 4Ever'' was previously shown on the service, but has since been skipped in rotations.

The movies below are excluded from rotations in the following languages:
* Dutch: Movie 4
* Danish: Movies 1, 8, 9
* Finnish: Movies 8, 9
* Norwegian: Movies 8, 9
* Russian: Movie 4

==COVID-19 pandemic==
Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], on April 3rd two [[Pokémon movies]] began to be added weekly to Pokémon TV as part of Pokémon Movie Marathon. However Pokémon has removed ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]'', ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''.

<center>''I watch [[Pokémon anime]], it's so awesome!''</center>

Jesus is coming soon and he is asking you to repent now because tomorrow is not promised. When you repent, Jesus will forgive you and cleanse you from all sin! (1 John 1:9) Jesus has died on the cross for your sins, he died the most brutal way most people couldn't imagine, he had nails hammered on both of his hands and feet, so you see, he died on that cross so we could be saved, and have every sin washed away. In order to be saved, you must ''CONFESS'' with your mouth and heart that you did unrighteousness (like sin) and believe that he died on the cross for you. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9)
;Here is a prayer if you need one
*''“Dear Jesus Christ, I understand that it is very important that I declare my faith in you; I must believe that you died for my sins and resurrected to give me life. Therefore, I affirmatively declare that I believe you died and resurrected for my sins; I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. From now on, I will serve you with a clean and clear mind, and I will also share your resurrection story with other people so that they can believe and be saved also. Please give me the grace to remain faithful to you throughout the days of my life. For in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.”''

'''Nugget Bridge''' was one of the most popular [[VGC]] websites in the last decade, the site was created on June 2012.

==Goal==
Nugget Bridge aims to develop and toughen the competitive Pokémon community by providing a place for players to learn, share, compete, and socialize.<ref>http://nuggetbridge.com/about-us/</ref>

==History==
Just before the [[wikipedia:Canada v United States (2012 Summer Olympics)|2012 US and Canadian National Championships]], Nugget Bridge was born. Their website staff is made up of former administrators and moderators from [https://www.smogon.com/ Smogon University].

In December 2016, the site was hacked. A news post was released on December 26, 2016, talking about the situation, and urging users to change their passwords and use security services.<ref>http://nuggetbridge.com/news/nugget-bridge-update/</ref> After this post, nothing else has been posted from Nugget Bridge ever since, however, the site still exists, but it is mostly abandoned and ignored.

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:07, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
:I apologize for any inconvenience, I was just setting up, and yes I made multiple contributions to the Pikmin Wiki articles.

== User welcomes ==

Please don't just welcome random new users. We welcome users when they've made their first edit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:57, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

== Arc and blurb edits ==

I have gone through and undone all of your edits on the Original Series arc pages. We do not note the arcs for the Original Series sans for the final episode of that arc. Also, please do not edit blurbs without double checking the official Pokémon website's episode page as the blurbs are written there exactly as they appear on the company website.

== Nugget Bridge ==

As I said, it will be moved once it has been approved by the editorial board. Not every fan site would be notable, and if you feel that they are, you can ask on of the editorial board members for it to be approved.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

<center>Hello! My name is ''PokémonFan12345.'' ([[User talk:PokémonFan12345|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PokémonFan12345|contribs]] • [[Special:Logs/PokémonFan12345|logs]])</center>

Jesus is coming soon and he is asking you to repent now, because tomorrow is not promised. When you repent, Jesus will forgive you and cleanse you from all sin! (1 John 1:9) Jesus has died on the cross for your sins, he died the most brutal way most people couldn't imagine, he had nails hammered on both of his hands and feet, so you see, he died on that cross so we could be saved, and have every sin washed away. In order to be saved, you must ''CONFESS'' with your mouth and heart that you did unrighteousness (like sin) and believe that he died on the cross for you. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9)
;Here a prayer if you need one
*''“Dear Jesus Christ, I understand that it is very important that I declare my faith in you; I must believe that you died for my sins and resurrected to give me life. Therefore, I affirmatively declare that I believe you died and resurrected for my sins; I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. From now on, I will serve you with a clean and clear mind, and I will also share your resurrection story with other people so that they can believe and be saved also. Please give me the grace to remain faithful to you throughout the days of my life. For in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.”''

== Welcoming ==

I noticed that you had copy pasted the welcome template to welcome someone. Yeah, that's not how you're supposed to do it... you have to use this <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> to welcome someone. Please use this next time ok? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know. I couldn't figure that one out and the original version was also a jpg as well. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''. Hope you understand. Thanks, '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 17:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Well that helps a bit. Still alright to go through articles and change the "Name" part at bottom to "In other languages" correct?[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::Only if the section doesn't include the English and Japanese names. Those two don't count as "other" languages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Will do then, can't wait to hopefully be autoconfirmed soon as well. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it. This automatically adds it to [[:Category:Pages to be deleted]], while still allowing us to view the content of the page without having to search through the history. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for informing me of this. Will keep it in mind for future pages. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
: Yea, I know. Right when I think it's correct it turns out the link is still incorrect. I still preview things for most part. Thanks for telling me this though. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Please do not revert i back without a rebuttal to the information that was provided for the initial removal. It was already explained that those weren't mistakes because the animators used more specific source material than normal--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Hey, please make a habit of using the [[LLT|Link templates]]. They're there to make linking to specific pages easier. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=The_Art_Of_Pok%C3%A9mon_The_First_Movie&diff=1603387&oldid=1603193 I'd prefer not to have to do this again.] Also, make sure you're spelling a Pokémon's name correctly. You misspelled Marill throughout that entire article. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
:Alright then. I shall make sure to do that in the future. Sorry about doing that. Also sorry about misspelling Marill's name constantly too. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 13:04, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

::Thought so.Well, no Admin objected so far,so I think it is a great material for Trivia.Thank you!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:04, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
:::No problem. Feel free to ask stuff if you have more questions. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

::::Btw,I like that Pokébox at the bottom of your userpage.I don't know if it is or not your personal creation so I am asking you if I could use a modified version of it on my userpage ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 22:50, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: I didn't make it personally but I remember seeing someone else at the time when I put it on my page using it. The row sizes were a little smaller though. Instead of my current size for each row, they had it at 8. I liked it so I put it on my page. Feel free to put it on your page and modify it if you wish. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 22:56, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks!I'm not good at making paragraphs.Btw,Pokémon must always start with capital letter?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::It sure does,thanks!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 20:06, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:::Gee,we should make a team :p. I complete synopsis while you correct and paragraph them. Anyways thanks for the minor correction. Although I found the original word was in this context "then they are mistaken for".--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 21:38, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Haha, maybe but I have better things to do than trying to fix mistakes all day. Going to go back to updating TCG deck pages now. Fun time. :-) Nice signature too, might try to make my own sometime when I give my user page a new look or something. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}
:::I see now, kind of strayed away from what you were saying. I'll fix that up on that page then real quickly. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Don't worry,took care of it already.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== Citations ==
I noticed that you deleted my citations. Sorry, but I'm used to Wikipedia, where you add ''lots'' of citations.[[User:Raichu409CID|Raichu409CID]] 23:33, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== M1 talk page undo ==

The Talk page policy states not to respond to messages older than 6 months UNLESS you have valid reason to do so. I had a valid reason to revive the discussion. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 18:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Generally old comments over six months old should not be revived, however, if there is a legitimate reason to bring it up again, please do so. '' From the FAQ. Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

== Edit on Indigo League page ==

I found a similar piece of work on the Johto League trivia section and I saw that the opposite applied to the Kanto League gym leaders so I thought I'd edit the Kanto League page as well. Was there a problem? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] 22:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him.

I noticed you adjusted the formatting on the Rival's Pokémon boxes on [[Appendix:Emerald_walkthrough/Section_4#Route_110|Emerald Walkthrough (Section 4)]] a few days ago. According to the [[Bulbapedia:Project_Walkthroughs#The_rival|Project Walkthroughs]] page, formatting on Rivals' Pokémon should be ''horizontal'', not ''vertical'', even though it extends out beyond the screen.

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.)

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 16:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

== images about Pokémon Quest ==

So, I have been playing Pokémon Quest, and wanted to see if there where pictures from it. And I found out there where none. (Yes, I have looked at the thing with '''all''' the images. Not just generation 1, generation 2, generation 3, generation 4, generation 5, generation 6, and generation 7 sprites. I'm not ''that'' much of a newb gosh.) I have a picture of a Quest Bulbasaur (almost Ivysaur) if data mining is not needed. (Data mining because the Pokémon stretches and it's hard to screenshot the unstretched version)

== Source for 25th Trainer for Pokemon Colosseum's Internal Data? ==

Hello! On the [[Pokémon Colosseum Double Battle e]] page, I've noticed you left an edit that mentions there is data for an unreleased 25th card. I do realize the edit was made a few years ago, but is there a chance you might still have the source of the information? If the internal data is there, I would love to see if there is a way to load it up from the source that spoke of it. Thank you for your time :) {{unsigned|TheEclipsedLock}}
:In the external links of the [[Pokémon Colosseum beta]] page, there is a link to TCRF which is where a lot of the information came from. However, for the 25th card trivia... I honestly cannot recall at this point. I remember reading A LOT about several beta / unused things for Pokémon games and recall I did read about the card (separate from the unused 21st e-Reader card bit on the beta page) on TCRF or another website but it seems I can no longer find that anywhere. Seems the only remnant of that trivia left anywhere to prove the card possibly existed is [https://www.serebii.net/colosseum/e-reader-list.shtml this page] on Serebii showing the existence of an unused / unreleased promotional card for a fight against someone called ''Snagem Grunt Goku'' with three of his Pokémon listed. If I cannot find where I originally saw the trivia from, will probably just delete it later today or tomorrow.

It makes me sick. It's very obvious that Pokemon Spaceworld was faked, Pokemon Picross was faked, and also that Tomato Adventure prototype was fake. Is there somewhere on the wiki we can expose these frauds or is that outside the scope of Bulbapedia? If it's not allowed here, I understand and I'll keep exposes off the wiki.

:We don't add content from fake leaks and any new info that might come from leaks is handled carefully so as to prevent the wiki from getting into any potential legal hassles. We don't expose frauds on Bulbapedia as that is not something we do here.

::Obviously, he's talking crap. What he does is regular vandalism. The leaks are genuine as they came straight from Nintendo (and have even been chased after, the hacker even got sentenced) and nobody would do this so accurately (definitely not some random 4chan trolls, also 4chan isn't even the primary source of these leaks). Nobody would go at such length to fake such an extensive material (which is not just Pokémon but various Nintendo stuff), including source files. People who say that leaked Spaceworld or Picross ROMs are fake are contrarian, conspiracy theorists or trolls. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 06:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

::Also, Fennec, regarding your comment of ''"We try to make sure any information we do add is relevant and has some source regarding why info or articles might be added to Bulbapedia."'' That's a good idea, but in that case why does [[:Category:Shipping]] exist?

== I got a welcome message telling me I could now upload images, but I can't. ==

Recently someone created a user talk page for me in the Bulbapedia Archives, saying something like "by creating your account you are now able to upload images". Yet I'm not. And I didn't even edit any images or anything like I was supposed to to get that privilege. I think the message was automated, but I'm not sure why it gave me inaccurate information. {{unsigned|Andre1070}}
:It seems you are able to upload images as I just checked and seen that you have on there.

:: https://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Andre1070 Here is the message in question. It was sent after I made an edit in the talk page of the to-do list, so I believe that may be why I received it. As you can see, it claims I got permission to upload images by creating my account, which is inaccurate, as you need to edit a certain number of images to get that permission. After I got that message, I checked and saw that I was not, in fact, able to upload images. A few hours later I managed to get it by editing several different images, but not before. To clarify further, I was already aware of the limitations on uploading images for new users, so it's not like the message led me astray or made me think I ''could'' upload images when I could not. I'm just saying that it's probably time to update what that welcome message says. Oh jesus, I forgot to sign it again, I'm sorry. By the way, if I have done anything else wrong, don't be afraid to tell me, okay? I just want to make sure I haven't screwed up in my first few days in the wiki.

== 502 Bad Gateway Error ==

Hi Frozen Fennec, I'm hoping you can help me.
When I access Bulbapedia's mobile site on my phone, as soon as I move from my first page to another, I get an error (Error 502, Bad Gateway, Host Error). That error persists for a few days, then I can get to one page, then I error again.

If I block all cookies or go into Incognito Mode, the problem goes away. Just clearing the cache doesn't help. This started happening after I had opened a bunch of tabs one day, so it's possible Bulbapedia thinks I'm trying to DoS it or something.

Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks! {{unsigned|Nicholastaylor101}}

:Your reply here demonstrates that you still ''do not understand what you did wrong.'' The specific content that you were adding is not the problem. There is no need for a hidden note, because ''adding that line is not against the rules.'' What is against the rules is ''adding back content that has been reverted'' without justifying why the revert was incorrect.

:You added content to a page, and someone reverted you because they believed the information you added was wrong. That is fine and normal, if you disagree; you need to '''discuss''' why you disagree on the talk page. Every single time you added the information to the page, you were reverted; and a detailed reason was provided in the reverting edit summary. A few months would pass, and you would add the information back, without even providing a token attempt to explain why you disagreed with the reason you were previously reverted.

:In July this year, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Nintendo_Switch#Proposal|you posted on the talk page], "suggesting" that the exact edit you had been reverted for several times be done. Although in that talk page comment, all you did was request the content be added without explaining why you disagreed with the reasoning that had been provided every time you had previously been reverted. Then, a few minutes later, without waiting for anyone to respond to your talk page comment; you added it to the page anyways, rendering your talk page message pointless -- especially since you asked if you could add it, were told "No," and then subsequently went on to add it again.

:The same reasoning that had been provided to you every time you had been reverted was also provided to you on that talk page, only a day after you posted your original message. Once again, you completely ignored that explanation, and continued to add the '''exact same content''' to the talk page again without ever responding on the talk page, or even acknowledging that anyone disagreed with you.

:To be clear. What you did wrong was continuing to add the same information back to the page without attempting to discuss it first. Maybe you were right and the claim should be on the page you need to make an argument on the talk page to explain why you believe that. You cannot just ignore-everyone who disagrees with you and try to sneak it back onto the page by waiting for long periods between edits.

::So what should I do to regain access? --[[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 16:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
:::We have no plans to allow you to edit the pages for the time being given you kept adding back content to those pages for three whole years without ever discussing it on the talk page or waiting for other user or admin input on the matter. You may regain access to editing the pages eventually in the future if you can show that you are willing to go to talk pages to discuss edit reversions and showing actual patience rather than adding content right back to a page or waiting a couple of months to pass by and trying to sneak the edit back in.

::::I want to regain access to editing the Nintendo Switch pages if I can show that I'm willing to go to talk pages to discuss edit reversions and showing actual patience, instead of adding content right back to a page or waiting a couple of months to pass by and trying to sneak the edit back in. [[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 01:31, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
:The answer is still no, as shown in this reply, the previous reply, and your talk page segments, you have shown no progress in learning or trying to improve your editing or using talk pages to discuss edits. It has also only been roughly 2 months, the permaban is because you kept doing the same edits over the course of three years. As I was getting ready to respond to this, I saw your most recent edit to the Wii U page was also undone for pretty much the same reasons noted above. Do NOT ask to be unblocked from editing those pages again. If your edits improve in the future, we will evaluate if it is acceptable to unblock you from editing those pages.

'''Wake Up Snorlax!''' (Japanese: '''おきろ！カビゴン！''' ''Wake Up! {{tt|Kabigon|Snorlax}}!'') is the 41st episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 23, 1998, and in the United States on October 28, 1998. It was initially intended to air in Japan on January 20, 1998, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.
{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

The further you journey, the hungrier you get. On empty stomachs, our heroes' search for food brings them to a small village, but find there is no food at the bakery nor at the grocery store; even the town restaurant is out of food. Just as our hungry heroes lose the energy even to move, the town elder arrives and offers to feed them. He explains to them that a drought has made it impossible to gather a harvest in the village, but cannot explain why they suffer from drought even though it rains often. In return for the meal, our heroes follow the dry riverbed upstream, investigating the cause of the drought.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are heading for another town, with {{AP|Pikachu}} fast asleep. They run into a [[hippie]], who plays a song on his [[Poké Flute]] that wakes up Pikachu. He then asks them for food, but they don't have any, so they continue on their way. Shortly after, {{TRT}} arrives, and is rude towards the hippie when he plays them a song and asks them for food. After they walk away, he mentions that they give off bad vibes and should learn to respect their elders. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends reach a town, only to find that the local stores and restaurants have no food to sell, as there are no ingredients to cook with. The town's {{OBP|mayor|EP041}} stumbles upon them, shows them to his home, and feeds them. He tells them that the village is unable to get any food because the river has dried up, killing all the produce a fortnight ago. As a result, Ash and his friends decide to head upstream to check it out.

The group discovers a large forest of thorns and decides to crawl through it, but Misty gets scratched in the process. With the help of [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and its {{m|Razor Leaf}}, they get through the thorns, only to find that the flow of the river is being blocked by a sleeping {{p|Snorlax}}, which is very big and weighs close to 1,000 pounds. Ash, Misty, and Brock try to wake Snorlax up using an announcement speaker and moving it. Ash even attempts to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} the Pokémon, but the {{i|Poké Ball}} just bounces off Snorlax's belly. Soon after, Team Rocket arrives and tries to steal Snorlax, which Ash and his friends try to help them with, as it will unblock the flow of the river.

However, their attempt to steal Snorlax by attaching cables from [[Team Rocket's mechas|their hot-air balloon]] doesn't work. Instead, Meowth and the balloon are sent crashing into the dried waterbed after the cables snap. Ash states that he didn't expect anything less than failure from Team Rocket, but his snide comment infuriates them. Further attempts to wake up Snorlax with an alarm clock and a bucket of water prove unsuccessful, so they decide to try the {{wp|Sleeping Beauty}} approach and get a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to kiss Snorlax. After some deep thought, Misty tries to have {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} kiss Snorlax, as Ash points out it resembles a horse. Instead, {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} releases itself from its Poké Ball and kisses Snorlax, blushing afterwards. Team Rocket forces {{MTR}} to kiss Snorlax, which doesn't work either, even though Snorlax seems to flinch when this happened.

Snorlax then rolls over, revealing a card that tells them that only the beautiful music from a Poké Flute will awaken a Snorlax. Ash checks his Pokédex for details, and they remember the hippie had a Pokémon flute. They run over to him and ask him to wake up Snorlax, but Ash, Misty, and Brock get into an argument with Team Rocket. Eventually, [[Jessie]] tries to attack with {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, but a {{m|Gust}} attack from {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, which turns into a cyclone and sends the trio blasting off again. Ash and his friends then take the hippie to Snorlax, which turns out to be his. He wakes Snorlax up with his Poké Flute, but the river is still blocked. The real source of the blockage is more thorns, but they turn out to be Snorlax's favorite snack. The hungry Pokémon eats all of the thorns, successfully unplugging the river and ultimately saving the town. In honor of the group's effort, the town's mayor declares a celebratory banquet.

After eating enough food, Snorlax goes back to sleep again. Team Rocket soon realizes that they won't be able to steal Snorlax, and then Snorlax rolls over on top of them.

==Trivia==
[[File:Misty bleeding.png|thumb|250px|The scene where {{an|Misty}} was shown bleeding]]
* After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}
* This episode has the first occurrence that a main character, in this case {{an|Misty}}, was seen bleeding.
* When [[Jessie]] explains the story of {{wp|Sleeping Beauty}}, an image of Sleeping Beauty is shown that closely resembles {{smw|Princess Peach}} in appearance (pink dress with short puffed sleeves, a frilled collar, a gold-trimmed brooch, crown, earrings, and blonde hair).
* This is the first episode where two Pokémon are shown to be kissing each other: both {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{MTR}} kissed {{p|Snorlax}} directly on its mouth, but this was done to reference Sleeping Beauty and {{wp|Snow White}} being awakened by their respective prince's kisses.
* This is the last episode to provide clips for the [[Kanto Pokérap]].

===Errors===
* When Psyduck is sent out, its left foot is colored the same as its body.
* {{Ash}}'s mouth can only be seen faintly when the Snorlax first wakes up and walks away.
* The [[Pokédex]] says that Snorlax is a ''Sleepy'' Pokémon, not a ''Sleeping'' Pokémon.
* When the Hippie is seen playing the flute, Ash's and Misty's shoes are completely white.
* The tune that the Hippie is playing doesn't sync up with his fingerings.
* When the Hippie sees Snorlax for the first time, the cream colored part of Snorlax's body changes tone as it breathes.
* When Ash and {{ashfr}} are at the bread store and Misty tilts her head and cries, her tears stream [[anime physics|diagonally instead of vertically]].
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]], the Pokédex says that some Snorlax weigh more than one tonne and that they eat 900 kilograms due to an incorrect conversion from pounds to grams.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Version 2)
* When Misty was shocked that there wasn't any bread left in the town, there was originally Japanese text behind her. This background was replaced in the dub.
* The town was actually a village in the Japanese version.
* The messages on Snorlax's card originally said "Do not wake up." and "If you need me, please wake me up with a [[Poké Flute]]."
* In the {{pmin|Russia|Russian dub by Pilot Studio}}, the amount of food that Snorlax eats in one day is said to be 900 kg, instead of 400 kg (900 lbs). This error was repeated in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]''. Unit conversions were correct elsewhere, as in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'' where 186,282 miles was correctly redubbed back to nearly 300,000 km.

==Blurb==

Tracing a path through the woods, the party comes across a tree baited with a plate of food and water. An Eevee is bound to the trunk with string. The address, Stone Town, block 3, number 14, along with a name—apparently that of the Eevee's master—are written on a piece of metal hanging from the Eevee's collar. Consulting their map, our heroes find that Stone Town is directly in front of them. They decide to take Eevee to the address on its collar and find out what is going on. When they reach the address, they find a huge home as exquisite as a Beverly Hills mansion. From inside, they hear loud cheers and applause. Could this be the home of this Eevee's master?

==Plot==
On their way to [[Cinnabar Island]] for his seventh [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking through a forest when {{AP|Pikachu}} hears a Pokémon's cry. The group locates the source of the cry, an {{p|Eevee}} tied to a post inside a tree hollow. After scanning Eevee with his [[Pokédex]], Ash wants to catch it, but {{an|Misty}} notices Eevee has a name-tag and address on it saying that its {{pkmn|Trainer}} lives in [[Stone Town]]. {{an|Brock}} says that Stone Town is at the foot of [[Evolution Mountain]], which contains [[Evolution stone|Evolution stones]] that allow certain Pokémon to evolve. On their way to Stone Town, Ash's Pokédex details that Eevee evolves via Evolution stones into {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Vaporeon}}. The group finds that the address leads them to a giant mansion. As they arrive in the backyard, they notice there is a garden party being held, and almost all of the Pokémon there are ones that evolve with Evolution stones. They even get the chance to see many of the stones out on display. Unbeknownst to everyone, {{TRT}} spies from a hilltop, instantly noticing all of the evolved Pokémon, the stones, and the food; and they proceed to plan their next plot.

The [[Eevee brothers|three brothers]] who are hosting the party, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro, see Ash and his friends with Eevee, and says that that Eevee is the star of the party. They call for their youngest brother, Mikey, who is Eevee's Trainer, but he is strangely sad to have his Pokémon returned. The brothers, who each own one of Eevee's stone evolutions, mention that the only way to win battles is for Mikey to evolve his Pokémon. Mikey says that he doesn't care about battles, which makes his brothers and their Pokémon angry, and they push Mikey even harder about which of Eevee's evolutions are stronger. The brothers even push Ash and Brock to evolve their Pikachu and Vulpix, respectively, though they decline.

As Misty watches her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} swim around in the fountain, she looks over to see Mikey on the bench with a drink. She offers some food to him and the pair start up a conversation. Mikey explains that his brothers only care about battling, so he hid his Eevee for the day so that nobody could make him evolve it. Misty tells him that he was just running away from his problems, and that it is his responsibility as a Trainer to tell his brothers that he doesn't want Eevee to evolve. Misty mentions that [[EP014|a while ago, Pikachu decided not to evolve]]. Just then, Mikey's brothers come up and ask Mikey if he has made his decision yet; Misty tells Mikey to tell his brothers what he has to say.

As Mikey is about to reveal his decision, Team Rocket arrives in their balloon and says their motto while eating all of the party food. {{TP|James|Weezing}} then uses {{m|Smokescreen}}. Ash brings out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to use {{m|Gust}}, though as the smoke clears, everyone realizes that all of the Pokémon (except for Misty's {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, much to her annoyance), the Evolution stones, and the food are all missing. Brock notices that Team Rocket is getting away in their balloon, and Ash has Pidgeotto stop it. The balloon crash-lands, but it turns out to be a decoy when it turns up empty. Meanwhile, as Team Rocket are driving along the road with the Pokémon in cages, Horsea leaves a trail of ink to follow. The strategy works as Pidgeotto spots the ink and goes on to alert Ash and the others.

At a lake, Team Rocket has a picnic with the food that they stole. They then realize that they need to decide what to evolve Eevee into. They soon argue about it, until Jessie blows a whistle and says that they should use all of the Evolution stones at once. They are about to evolve Eevee when Ash has {{p|Squirtle}} use {{m|Water Gun}}. Unfortunately, Psyduck intrudes and uses a weak Water Gun, which fails. Squirtle then uses Water Gun on James and Meowth, which sends them backward, and Jessie tells them to stop as she picks up Eevee's cage. She brings out {{p|Arbok}} after Misty calls her old, while James brings out Weezing. Misty and Ash prepare to battle with their Pokémon, but the Eevee brothers stop them and say that they must be the ones to battle since it is their brother's Eevee that was stolen.

The brothers get ready to attack with Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon. Arbok uses {{m|Poison Sting}}, while Jolteon counters with {{m|Pin Missile}}, which hits Arbok. Weezing uses {{m|Sludge}}, but Vaporeon blends into the water using {{m|Acid Armor}}, making it virtually invisible. Weezing's attack misses as Vaporeon leaps out of the water with {{m|Tackle}}, and Weezing lands on top of James. Team Rocket tries to run away, but Flareon uses {{m|Fire Spin}} to stop them. The brothers demand that Team Rocket give back the stolen Pokémon, but Jessie has Arbok use {{m|Tackle}} on Jolteon, while Weezing uses Sludge on Flareon and Vaporeon. Horsea spits out ink into Jessie's face, which sends Eevee flying, and it lands in Mikey's arms. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Team Rocket, but they keep going.

As Mikey pulls Eevee out of the cage, he looks over and notices that his brothers' Pokémon are severely hurt. Team Rocket decides that it was time to finish them off. Mikey stands up and decides that he and Eevee are going to have their first battle. Mikey commands Eevee to use {{m|Take Down}}, and then has Eevee turn it into an improvised Rage Tackle, which sends Team Rocket blasting off. Mikey's brothers congratulate him on his first win, and Mikey tells them that he just wanted to help everybody out. Then, he acts on Misty's advice and tells his brothers that he wants to become an Eevee Trainer. The Eevee brothers accept his decision, and Sparky says that they should turn the party into a celebration of Mikey's first victory. During the party, Mikey thanks Misty for helping him, gives her a flower, and share a little finger promise to be friends forever. Later, everyone at the party then gathers for a picture. Psyduck gets the camera ready and goes to join the shot, but it trips and falls down as the shot is taken.

Meanwhile, later in the night, Team Rocket return to eating canned food, much to their disappointment. Jessie says that they will be champions of the world, and they all optimistically agree.

==Trivia==
* After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}
* The episode aired as a one-hour special (放送再開スペシャル（放送再開スペシャルやっとあえるね！）１時間{{j|SP}}) with [[EP039]], when the {{pkmn|anime}} came back on the air.
* {{DL|Eevee brothers|Rainer}} warns [[Mikey]] that he could lose his {{pkmn|Trainer}} qualification as a result of losing his {{p|Eevee}}. Mikey is clearly younger than {{Ash}} and should not have a Trainer qualification yet.
* {{DL|Eevee brothers|Pyro}} offers {{an|Brock}} a [[Fire Stone]] to evolve {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}; and {{DL|Eevee brothers|Sparky}} offers Ash, who still [[EP014|has]] [[DP074|one]], a [[Thunder Stone]] to evolve {{AP|Pikachu}}. Misty also has a Pokémon that can evolve by way of Evolution stone, Staryu, though Rainer never did offer her a [[Water Stone]]. However, this could be because {{an|Misty}} already owns a {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* It is implied in one scene that if an Eevee is evolved using more than one stone, it could be very dangerous. This is still unknown, since {{TRT}} didn't get the chance to use all of the stones at once.
* This episode is one of the times the anime shows real world animals, as James was holding a lobster.
* Misty refers to ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' when she tells Mikey that Pikachu decided not to evolve using a Thunder Stone.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 6: Eevee'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This is the first episode where Misty uses her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} after its debut in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''.
* {{p|Arcanine}} is the only [[Generation I]] stone evolution (not including [[Moon Stone]] evolutions) Pokémon not to appear in this episode.
* Although {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} is shown to be able to use {{m|Water Gun}} in this episode, it isn't seen using the move again until 942 episodes later in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]''.
* Because EP038 never aired outside of Japan, this episode marks the anime debut of {{p|Ninetales}} in the English dub.

===Errors===
* When Misty offers a plate of sandwiches to Mikey, the food position changes orientation as the camera rotates to Mikey's point of view.
* When Misty is talking to Mikey, Pikachu's left ear is missing.
* When Misty asks why Team Rocket couldn't have taken Psyduck along with the other Pokémon, her shorts are all blue. They should have been light blue on the bottom.
* Mikey calls out a second attack against Team Rocket before the first one, {{m|Take Down}}, is ever executed.
* In the picture that Psyduck takes, Raichu's normally white belly is orange.
* When the brothers get angry at Mikey's disinterest in battling, Vaporeon's ears are blue instead of yellow.
* When the brothers tell Mikey that he needs to evolve his Eevee, Ash's shoes are completely white, making it look like he only has socks on.
* When the brothers give Ash and Brock their respective stones, Brock's mouth moves but he doesn't say anything.
* When Misty is talking to Mikey, the red part of her shoes are green.
* When [[Jessie]] stops blowing the whistle, the sound is still heard. However, it could be an echo.
* When {{p|Jolteon}} uses {{m|Pin Missile}}, the animation of the needles freezes for a second.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 5 (Version 2)
* When Jessie and Misty confront each other, the former originally refers to the latter as "Flat-brat girl" (with Misty taking particular offense to the term "flat"), referring to the events of the skipped episode ''[[EP018|Beauty and The Beach]]''. This is toned down in the [[dub]].

'''Pikachu's Goodbye''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのもり''' ''Forest of Pikachu'') is the 39th episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 16, 1998, and in the United States on November 20, 1998. It was the first episode to air after the [[EP038]] incident. Notably, it is also, with [[EP040]], the first hour-long Pokémon special.

==Blurb==

Misty and Brock continue to journey with Ash as he seeks to become a Pokémon Master. Passing through a beautiful forest, the three of them stop for a rest. As they enjoy the restful mood, Pikachu notices something staring at them from the shadows of the bush around them. Realizing that they are being watched by a group of wild Pikachu, Pikachu bounds after them into the woods. Paying no heed to Ash's call, Pikachu runs further and further into the wild unknown. Though they seem frightened at first, the group eventually opens up to Pikachu and they play together as friends. Will the group be as receptive to Ash when he makes his presence known?

==Plot==
As {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} rest in a forest clearing, {{Ash}} swings on a vine, but he slams into a tree trunk. {{AP|Pikachu}} rushes to Ash's side, though he notices a small Pikachu. Pikachu runs after it, as Ash, Misty, and Brock follow him. The pursuit ends at a forest clearing, where they find a whole clan of Pikachu with the small Pikachu. Pikachu, eager to say hello, jumps forward, but the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pikachu}} become scared and run off. Pikachu becomes disheartened, but the small Pikachu comes over and shakes tails to greet him. Soon after, the other Pikachu surround Ash's, and Brock claims they must have accepted him. Ash, also eager to join the Pikachu clan, runs toward them, but they feel scared and flee.

Later, Ash asks Brock and Misty why the Pikachu ran away. Brock tells him that he probably scared the Pikachu because they were not used to human contact. The small Pikachu, watching their conversation from a nearby tree branch, falls into a river and Ash's Pikachu jumps in to save it. Before the pair are about to go down a waterfall, the other Pikachu grab each other's tails to save them, and they succeed. As a reward for his effort, Ash's Pikachu receives an apple and is hoisted up by the other Pikachu, who cheer. Brock keeps Ash back from Pikachu, encouraging him to just observe. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} sees the group of Pikachu and decide to capture all of them for {{an|Giovanni|their Boss}}.

Night falls, and all of the Pikachu start singing their Pikachu chant. Ash and {{ashfr}} watch on and see how happy Ash's Pikachu is. Over dinner, Ash becomes sad and loses his appetite, but when asked what was wrong, he claims it was nothing. He stays up, watching the fire, to reflect on Pikachu's happiness, and concludes that Pikachu should be with his own kind. Suddenly, the Pikachu scream for help, waking Misty and Brock. The trio goes to investigate and finds all of the Pikachu captured by Team Rocket in an electric-proof net. [[James]] ensnares Ash and his friends in another net while they make their getaway. Pikachu begins chewing through the net; the others follow suit, and they soon begin their escape. Ash and his friends hold up the net they were captured in and the Pikachu jump into it unharmed. However, Ash's Pikachu, who escaped first, makes its way to Team Rocket and bites a hole in the balloon, sending them blasting off.

Ash catches his friend, though he soon decides to leave him with the other Pikachu. Misty and Brock confront Ash by the campsite, where he announces his plans and claims Pikachu would be happier with its own kind. Pikachu reappears and starts following him, but Ash yells at him to stay behind and runs away. Eventually, Ash stops running, with Misty and Brock catching up to him. As the sun rises, Ash's Pikachu shakes tails with the small Pikachu and all of the wild Pikachu started chanting, before Pikachu runs into Ash's arms. Ash is touched by the gesture, and he starts to cry.

===Explanation of EP038 incident===
[[File:EP038 incident explanation.png|200px|thumb|Miyuki explaining the incident]]
The first broadcast in Japan begins with Miyuki Yadama formally greeting the viewers while surrounded by Pokémon dolls. Miyuki mentions that the Pocket Monsters anime will be starting again soon. Miyuki then mentions the details of the incident and apologies for the issue and its effects on the viewers.

Miyuki continues by discussing the hiatus and the reason why the anime was taken off the air, mentioning that research was conducted into how the incident occurred with the help of doctors, Japanese government officials, and the broadcasting stations. She highlights that the main cause of the issue was a scene where the colors red and blue were rapidly switched at a rate higher than 24 frames per second. She then notes early hypotheses that had been rejected, such as the effect of strong lights. She mentions that the research found that striped or swirling patterns and the color red should be used with care.

The scene then switches to a board with letters, drawings, and postcards from viewers in support of the anime. After focusing on two of the drawings, Miyuki thanks the viewers for the letters of encouragement.

After the scene changes back, Miyuki makes a request for all viewers to watch television at a distance from the screen and in a room that is well lit. The debriefing ends with a shot of the Pokémon around Miyuki.

==Trivia==
* This episode was not included in the original schedule before the [[EP038]] incident, so it is possible that the episode was created after the incident.
* The episode aired as a one-hour special (放送再開スペシャル（放送再開スペシャルやっとあえるね！）１時間{{j|SP}}) with [[EP040]] to celebrate the {{pkmn|anime}}'s return to airwaves.
* This was chosen by [[Asuca Hayashi]] as the fifth episode of ''[[Pocket Monsters Premier 10]]''.
* Not counting the flashbacks, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} were the only two species of Pokémon seen in this episode. This is the lowest number of Pokémon species appearing in an anime episode.
* The episode's plot later became similar to that of ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', which also revolves around a location where a large number of Pikachu live. In addition, that episode marked the anime's move from its Thursday 6:55 PM time-slot to a Sunday 6:00 PM slot, the first time the show changed its airing day since the aforementioned EP038 incident.
* The events of ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]'' are referenced in the beginning of this episode.
* In this episode, {{Ash}} crashes into a tree. In response, {{an|Misty}} says "Watch out for that tree!", a catchphrase from the ''{{wp|George of the Jungle}}'' series.
* A short version of [[Goodnight, My Pikachu]] is used as an insert song in the Japanese version.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book {{book|I Choose You!}}.
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 1: Pikachu'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This episode is featured on ''Pokémon All-Stars: Pikachu'' from {{wp|Magna Pacific}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 4}} series.
* After {{TRT}} finishes their {{motto}}, [[James]] says, "We'd like to thank all of our fans for their loyalty and support. This victory is for them." This obviously [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]], and possibly references how Pokémon fans in Japan helped get the anime back on air after the EP038 incident.
* This was the first episode to premier in the US the same year as it did in Japan.

===Errors===
* When the {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu save the smaller Pikachu and [[Ash's Pikachu]] from going over the waterfall, all of the wild Pikachu in the chain have a torn tail. This is a result of the animation studio cycling the animation in order to save time.
** Some care was taken into this scene as only the leader Pikachu has torn ears.
** Later scenes are inconsistent with the number of Pikachu which have torn tails. This could be up for interpretation as the number of Pikachu Team Rocket steals is much greater than depicted in any other scene.
** At this time, the leader Pikachu is missing the brown at the base of its tail when its rear end is facing the viewer.
* The number of Pikachu changes throughout the episode. Although about 30 Pikachu are present when Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty first see the group of Pikachu, the number of Pikachu increases greatly when Team Rocket steal the Pikachu and fly off with their balloon.
* The episode title is spelled ''Pickachu's Goodbye'' on the back of the box of the Australian VHS release.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 4
* In the Japanese version of the scene leading up to the Ash and Pikachu montage, Ash originally yelled at Misty and Brock to shut up when they asked why he's leaving Pikachu. Then, when he was saying his goodbyes to Pikachu, Ash's voice was trembling as he was trying not to cry. Additionally, there was originally no music playing from the moment Ash puts out the campfire until he starts running away.
* The original montage of Ash and Pikachu is different in both versions. The original Japanese version has clips that are shown in chronological episodic order. The dubbed English version have clips from certain episodes in random order, with many clips missing from the original Japanese version, and it also has some clips not present in the original Japanese version.
* In the [[Pokémon in South Asia#Hungama TV|Tamil Hungama TV dub]] of this episode, there is no voice of the narrator throughout the episode.
* [[The Time Has Come]] replaces [[Goodnight, My Pikachu]] during the flashback scene.

==Blurb==

Continuing their journey, Ash and gang find themselves at a fork in the road. They make the fateful decision to climb a steep and dangerous mountain taking them even deeper into the woods. Pikachu gets lost and they must all work together to find him, stay warm and weather the storm.

==Plot==
Continuing on their {{pkmn|journey}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} come to a fork in the road. {{an|Brock}} takes a moment to check his map, though Ash’s impulsiveness leads them to take the trail to the right leading into a huge mountain. As they notice their snowy surrounds, {{an|Misty}} and Brock both want to turn around and go the other way, but Ash declares a [[Pokémon Master]] always stays on course, no matter what the conditions. However things get worse, as the mountain they have stumbled upon is actually a part of a huge mountain range and Brock’s compass goes haywire from electromagnetic interference. As Brock declares that they are lost, Misty shouts at Ash to get them off the mountain. Ash calls out his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to find another route, and it soon returns with news of a good path up ahead.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} are trailing the [[twerp]]s. While [[James]] and {{MTR}} complain they are both freezing, [[Jessie]] declares that she loves the snow as it brings back memories of eating "snowgasboard"; a meal completely made of snow. She says that it was one of the few memories of her wretched and poverty-stricken childhood. However, James and Meowth are grossed out. James then says that they can head off Ash and his friends using the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]]. They then recite their {{motto}}, but stop when they notice their balloon drifting off in the wind. They chase after it without any luck, losing all of their food and supplies are on that balloon. Jessie starts to look at the snow and then tells them she can make snow rolls. James and Meowth don't want them, and Jessie wants to walk further to where the balloon is so she can get some soy sauce.

The light snowfall has now turned into a full-on blizzard, so the group contemplate setting up camp. As Ash insists they continue walking, Brock reminds him that the sun is going to set soon, and not even the bravest [[Pokémon Trainer]] would wander around in a snowstorm in the dark. Ash agrees, and as Brock says they should start to dig a cave, the snowstorm starts to intensify. The strong wind knocks Ash down, and he lets go of Pikachu, who is carried off into the distance by the gusty conditions. Ash chases after Pikachu, while Misty and Brock hunker down as the storm starts to intensify even more.

In spite of the awful conditions, Ash trudges through deep snow while repeatedly calling for Pikachu until he collapses from exhaustion. Then he hears something: Pikachu's voice. Ash calls back to Pikachu, Pikachu responds, and Ash follows the direction of Pikachu's voice. As he walks, he falls down a small cliff. He then hears Pikachu's voice close by. He then sees the small yellow Pokémon and he is hanging by one arm from a ledge on a very high cliff. Ash tries to grab Pikachu, but he falls down the cliff, yet manages to grab onto another ledge. Ash quickly comes up with a solution, and sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} who uses {{m|Vine Whip}} to grab Pikachu. But Pikachu cannot hold on and he slips further down. Bulbasaur acts fast and grabs Pikachu with its vines just in time. They pull Pikachu up to their level before Pikachu and Ash embrace. Pikachu does a facial expression of Brock and in doing so, he reminds Ash that they need to get up the small cliff Ash fell down before and get back to Misty and Brock. He tries climbing up the cliff, but to no avail. He tries calling their names, but this doesn't work either.

Ash decides to dig a snow cave rather than brave the bitter cold. After his hands begin to suffer frostbite, he has his {{AP|Charmander}} use {{m|Flamethrower}} to blast through the snow. It does a good job of building the cave and then, Ash sends out Bulbasaur and {{AP|Squirtle}} to help seal the cave off from the elements. It takes them a while, but they do it. Ash then tries to figure out how to heat up the cave. Bulbasaur suggests to Charmander to make its tail flame more intense, and it does so.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket are huddled inside an igloo. Suddenly Meowth’s last candle goes out, and Jessie’s offer of snow rolls doesn’t lift anyone’s spirits. Meowth reveals that he has three matches left, but without anything to light them with, the Rocket trio try using their imaginations to get warmth. Jessie then notices her teammates fast asleep, but she slaps them around to stop them from freezing.

As the brutal snowstorm rages on, Charmander's tail flame starts to weaken from trying to keep everyone warm. Ash tells Charmander to get back into its {{i|Poké Ball}}, but it refuses, but Ash calls it back anyway, much to Charmander's shock. Ash then figures that the Pokémon should be warm inside their Poké Balls. So, he tells Bulbasaur and Squirtle back into their Poké Balls, and like Charmander, they refuse too. Ash calls them back anyway, much to their surprise. Ash then attempts to call Pikachu back into his Poké Ball, but Pikachu refuses, and he clings onto Ash. Ash is touched by Pikachu's gesture of trying to keep his Trainer warm and he accepts his decision.

As the time passes, Ash and Pikachu are freezing cold. Ash wonders if his other Pokémon are warm enough inside their Poké Balls, so he takes off his jacket and wraps his Poké Balls inside. But now, the snowstorm has gotten so bad that a part of the snow wall has broken through. Ash runs over to the hole and sits in front of it, blocking the snow coming in. Ash again orders Pikachu to get inside his Poké Ball. Though Pikachu adamantly refuses, worrying for Ash's safety and Ash assures Pikachu he will be okay, as long as he knows Pikachu will be safe. Finally, Ash ''orders'' Pikachu to get inside the Poké Ball. Pikachu refuses once more. Then, the rest of Ash's Pokémon- Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and Pidgeotto- all free themselves from their Poké Balls and hold on to Ash. Ash is so taken aback by his Pokémon's commitment to him that he is reduced to tears. He then looks at them and conceded that they will be cold all together.

It is now morning and the harsh snowstorm has completely subsided. Charmander demolishes the snow wall with Flamethrower, and Ash looks upon the amazing view with his beloved Pokémon. He hears a voice calling him, he turns around, and it is pleasantly surprised to see Misty, Brock and his {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Onix lifts Ash and his Pokémon up to his friends' level. They ask Ash how he survived the storm and he tells them about the cave he dug. Brock and Misty then reveal that Onix dug into an underground hot spring, and they were very comfortable there, much to Ash's extreme surprise. They then discover that the blizzard blew over Team Rocket's balloon, which is right next to them. Brock says it is out of fuel, but he sends out his {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, and has it use Flamethrower, and the balloon is now flyable. They then fly off over the mountain range.

Team Rocket stop pinching each other's cheeks when they spot the twerps in their balloon. They chase after them, only to fall into a hot spring and are declined to move, as they are very comfortable. Ash thinks he heard Team Rocket while the balloon files above them, and then, they see a town ahead and are overjoyed. Meanwhile, Team Rocket discover that the hot spring is too hot for them to sit in, but are forced to stay in the heated waters as the weather is too cold for them to get out.

==Scheduling conflict==
After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}

It was planned to be followed by a [[Clip show#Prime time clip shows|clip show]] summing up the events from [[EP028]] to ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', then planned as EP039, on its original airing.

When episodes of the [[dub]] are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes first aired in Japan. This causes confusion from viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard, and Misty still having her Starmie and Horsea (and not yet having her Togepi). Canonically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing on the initially intended date, it is considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]].

==Trivia==
* The end of the episode was followed by a music video of [[Together With the Wind]], the Japanese ending theme to [[M01]], rather than a [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] segment. This was likely due to the fact that the segment didn't exist when the episode was originally scheduled to be broadcast.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun of the phrase "''no way out''".
* {{smw|Snow Way Out}} is also the name of a {{smw|Mario Party 8}} minigame.
* This is one of the few episodes where {{Ash}} tries to make Pikachu get into his {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* This is also the first episode where a previously caught Pokémon, other than {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, forces its way out of its [[Poké Ball]]. {{AP|Charmander}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} all exit their Poké Balls to keep Ash warm throughout the night.
* This episode marks the last confirmed appearance of Pikachu's Poké Ball in the [[original series]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 9: Charmander'' from [[VIZ Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* This episode was adapted into the [[Pokémon Junior]] book [[A Pokémon Snow-Down]].
* This episode marks the first time where {{AP|Pikachu}} displays his remarkable ability to {{DL|Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu's imitations|imitate}} other Pokémon and people. In this case, Pikachu does an impression of {{an|Brock}}.
* The scene where Ash's [[Party|team]] huddles around him for warmth was reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.
* This episode's title is formatted as ''Snow Way Out'' on the DVD menu of [[List of English language Adventures in the Orange Islands home video releases (Region 4)|Australian DVDs]].

===Errors===
* When [[James]] is holding {{MTR}} and they are shivering, Meowth's feet don't have the orange tips.
** Shortly after, Meowth's forepaws are entirely orange.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[2.B.A. Master]]
* [[Jessie]]'s caretaker is referred to as her mother in the dub.
* The igloo scene was heavily edited. There is a scene cut of Meowth lighting candles with a match while Jessie explains how good the snow-rolls were, and all the shots of Meowth and Jessie holding matches in the igloo scene were painted out and replaced with candles. Altogether, 24 seconds were cut from this scene.

'''Holiday Hi-Jynx''' (Japanese: '''ルージュラのクリスマス''' ''{{tt|Rougela|Jynx}}'s Christmas'') is a special episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 5, 1998, along with ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', and in the United States on December 11, 1999. It was initially intended to be the 39th episode of the Pokémon anime, airing in Japan on December 23, 1997, but was rescheduled following the [[EP038]] incident.

On December 23, 2012, the 15th anniversary of the episode's originally-planned broadcast date, it aired on [[Pokémon Smash!]] and was edited to make all of the {{p|Jynx}}'s skin purple instead of black. This version has not been dubbed, so it is still banned in the United States. The Japanese versions of [[Prime Video]] and [[Netflix]] have the edited version while [[Hulu]] has the original version.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends run into a scared and lonely Jynx who has a boot belonging to Santa Claus but can't find its way to the North Pole. Team Rocket is convinced that Jynx really is Santa Claus and Jessie wants revenge from something that happened in her childhood. Can Ash beat the odds and return Jynx to its Master before Team Rocket gets a hold of it?

==Plot==
It is [[Christmas]], and kids everywhere are waiting for their presents from [[Santa]], including the resident of a distant castle, [[Jessie]]. She pretends to be asleep, as the door to her room is slowly opened by Santa. He becomes trapped in a net, and unable to move. Jessie and {{MTR}} are enthusiastic about their capture, and cannot wait for the ''real'' Santa to come to be trapped, as this person had been [[James]] in a Santa suit.

Jessie recalls the night 10 years ago when she stopped believing in Santa. When waiting awake for him, a {{p|Jynx}} appeared from the chimney and does nothing but take her doll, broken and thrown to the fireplace moments earlier by Jessie in her waiting enthusiasm. James and Meowth doubt Jessie's story, but Jessie is insistent that this occurred, and that Santa is a Jynx.

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the [[Kanto]] [[region]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are scouting out a Jynx on a sunny beach, who is holding a single black boot. Ash attempts to [[Caught Pokémon|capture]] it, however, it does not work, and the Jynx's {{m|Lovely Kiss}} manages to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{an|Brock}} deduces that it must have a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. {{an|Misty}} is given the boot by the Jynx, and sees that it belongs to Santa, as an image is sewn to the inside. After Jynx telepathically tells its story to the group, they agree to help it get back to the [[North Pole]] to Santa. Jessie, on the other hand, sees Jynx as Santa attempting to con the [[twerp]]s just as she had been 10 years ago, and plots to follow them to find Santa's lair and exact her revenge.

Ash calls out his {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Misty calls out her {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, and {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. All of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} help pull their homemade raft toward the North Pole, except Psyduck, who cowers at the thought of having to swim. The Pokémon, however, quickly become tired, and so Ash volunteers to pull them the rest of the way. He, as well, becomes tired and hears a voice. Confused, he asks his friends if they said anything, but they haven't. The voice speaks again, and Ash is caught in a wave, while the others drift away on the raft. Ash is plunged underwater, and finally, the source of the voice reveals itself to him: a {{p|Lapras}}. The Lapras brings him above the water and reveals its [[Talking Pokémon|telepathic powers]], as well as the fact that it was sent by Santa to bring Jynx back to the North Pole. It offers to bring them the rest of the way there as thanks for aiding Jynx, and they accept. On their way to the North Pole, the group passes large icebergs, and huddle together in Jynx's hair for warmth. Soon, they arrive, but before they can enter Santa's workshop, {{TRT}} in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Gyarados submarine]], who has been secretly following the group, steal Jynx and trap the group under a net.

Team Rocket proceeds to bring the captured Jynx, tied in a rope, and enter Santa's workshop. Ash and friends confront them, but Team Rocket, holding Santa as a hostage, uses him as leverage. As Team Rocket is loading up all the presents, Santa and Ash's group ask Jessie to stop. Angrily, Jessie exclaims that she never received any gifts as a child, and how she saw a Jynx stole her favorite doll 10 years ago. A Jynx, after retrieving Jessie's memory of the event telepathically, returns to the workshop and brings back Jessie's lost doll. Santa explains that Jynx brought the broken doll to him to fix it, but they were unable to give it back because Jessie had stopped believing in Santa. Despite this realization, Jessie still plans to steal all of the presents, and Team Rocket makes their getaway. Lapras freezes the submarine with its {{m|Ice Beam}}, but Ash, using {{AP|Charmander}}, accidentally unfreezes it by using {{m|Fire Spin}}. Team Rocket seems to have won, but Santa has all of his Jynx use {{m|Psywave}} to bring back the submarine, shake the presents out of it, blow up the submarine and send Team Rocket blasting off again.

That evening, Santa begins his yearly journey around the {{pkmn|world}}, using a {{p|Ponyta}} as his steed, and flies away. Ash regrets not having told Santa what he wanted, but Lapras assures him that Santa already knows. Santa's Jynx then present Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu with gifts, as it begins to snow.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket lie in a bed together, having been defeated once more, but Jessie has hung a stocking in the hopes that she might receive presents. The other two believe it to be futile, but just then, a Jynx appears in their window. They stare in shock at it, and it uses Lovely Kiss to put them all to sleep. Santa wishes a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

==Scheduling conflict==
After the hiatus caused by [[EP038]], the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}

When episodes of the [[dub]] are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired in Japan. This confuses viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie and Horsea (and not yet having her Togepi). Chronologically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing when initially intended and being advertised as such by {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, it is considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]].

==Removal from rotation==
This episode was pulled from rotation shortly after it was aired due to accusations of {{p|Jynx}} being a {{wp|racial stereotype}} of African-Americans by {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}. It can still be obtained on VHS and in the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD Pack Set and has been made available on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network Video}}. However, the episode has not re-aired in syndication, likely due to Jynx's appearance. Moreover, despite appearing on Cartoon Network Video, this episode was skipped on [[Pokémon.com]]'s "[[Pokémon TV]]" video service, (and as of April 2013, removed from Pokémon.com entirely) nor has it been made available on Netflix. When the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD was reissued, the episode was removed. It is also not included in the Indigo League Complete Collection.

The English dub became available on Cartoon Network On Demand wherever available on cable providers in late March 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011. No restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. However, this episode is banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}. The Japanese [[Netflix]] lists an English blurb for the episode despite it being banned, which says, "As children all over the world eagerly await Christmas, so does Team Rocket. It turns out they plan to catch Santa Claus and grab all of his presents!" Although this episode once aired on Hungama TV in {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, it never aired on Disney XD India and was replaced by ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Holiday Hi-JynxEdit.png|thumb|250px|A screenshot from the original episode]]
* The end of the episode was followed by a music video of [[Together With the Wind]], the Japanese ending theme to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', rather than a [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture]] segment. This was likely due to the fact that the episode was originally scheduled to air when the segment did not exist yet.
* While Japanese episode previews usually end with "Everybody, get Pokémon!", this episode's preview ends with "Everybody, get a present!", in celebration of the Christmas season.
* [[Jessie]]'s doll is called "Acha Ningyou" in the Japanese version and is a parody of the actor {{wp|Bruce Lee}}.
* This marks the first time a Pokémon is depicted with the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|speak}} telepathically in the anime.

===Errors===
* The inside of {{p|Jynx}}'s mouth is mistakenly (and repeatedly) colored white instead of the usual red-pink.
* During the group's battle with {{TRT}}, [[Ash's hat]] continuously changes between forwards and backward.
* In the remastered version that aired on [[Pokémon Smash!]], Jynx's forearm appears white instead of red when it stands next to the tied up Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Santa Claus]].
* Due to being dubbed out of order, Ash's Pokédex is voiced by [[Eric Stuart]] in this episode, despite it taking place before ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', where Ash's Pokédex is upgraded, meaning the Pokédex should still have the voice of [[List of English voice actors|Nicholas James Tate]] at this point.
* In the English [[dub]], when the closed captions mention Jessie, her name is misspelled as "Jessy".

===Dub edits===
* [[Pikachu's Jukebox]]: [[Together Forever]]
* Jessie reads the title card instead of {{Ash}}.
* In the Japanese version, Santa wrote his name in katakana on the inside of his boot. The English dub replaces this with a photo of Santa surrounded by a snowflake border.
* Santa calls Jessie and Ash by name, but in the original version, Santa refers to everyone as "children" instead.
* Santa's reason for not giving Jessie her doll back is different in both versions: in the English dub, Santa tells Jessie that he couldn't return the doll because she stopped believing in Santa, which made him powerless to visit her. In the Japanese version, Santa says that he tried to return it, but Jessie had already moved away.
* When the Jynx all use {{m|Psywave}}, they only chant their names over and over. In the original version, they continuously say "''Psycho''" (the move's Japanese name is ''Psychowave''). This may highlight how Jynx speaks a language similar to human speech.

* ''Electric Soldier Porygon'' is the most commonly used translation: no known official English title exists for this episode.}}
(Japanese: '''でんのうせんしポリゴン''' ''Computer Warrior Porygon'', commonly ''Electric Soldier Porygon'') is the 38th episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 16, 1997. The episode is infamous for resulting in over seven hundred Japanese people (ranging from 3-58 years old<ref>http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9712/17/japan.cartoon/</ref>) suffering adverse health effects, including {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|epileptic seizures}}, vomiting, irritated eyes and other related symptoms, due to use of a flashing strobe effect upon its first and only airing. Because of that, this episode was [[Banned episodes|never commercially released or re-broadcast]] anywhere in the world, and the show went on hiatus for four months.

The frames which caused the seizures are a four-second section in which {{AP|Pikachu}} uses an {{t|Electric}} attack on a group of vaccine missiles. The explosion—which occupies a significant portion of the frame—flashes brightly and alternates rapidly between red and blue. The seizures caused by this episode resulted in [[OLM Incorporated|OLM]] dropping strobe effects from Pikachu's electric attacks. For years following the incident, a disclaimer was broadcast at the beginning of all Japanese television shows, cautioning viewers not to sit too close to the television screen and to watch only in a brightly-lit room. (「テレビアニメを見るときには、部屋をあかるくして近づきすぎないようにしてみてくださいね。」)

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} make their way to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Matcha City]] in order to revive Ash's tired {{AP|Pikachu}}. There, they meet a distressed [[Nurse Joy]], who reveals that the [[Poké Ball]] {{pkmn|Storage System|transporter}} has been problematic — the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} she sends never arrives at another Pokémon Center, and it was replaced by a different Pokémon. [[Dr. Akihabara]], the inventor of the Pokémon Transport System, is at the Center trying to figure out what went wrong with the system. Brock suggests that a {{wp|computer virus}} could be the source of the problem. Akihabara explains that the system couldn't have been infected with a virus because he designed the circuits so well. Ash confuses his explanation of a computer virus with a biological one and thinks the transport system is actually sick. Nurse Joy is told by Brock about an antivirus, which is a powerful software made to fix the problem. However, upon further investigation into the system, Akihabara unexpectedly gasps and suddenly bolts out of the Center, leaving Joy and the others confused.

Ash, Misty, and Brock break into Akihabara's huge laboratory mansion to figure out what happened to him. Inside, they are startled by a giant holographic image of Akihabara's head. Ash and {{ashfr}} are led into a room with a giant machine. The doctor orders them to enter the machine, only telling them that they have entered a giant Human Transporter after he has sealed and locked the door. Akihabara then introduces the group to a {{p|Porygon}} and explains that {{TRT}} has stolen his other prototype Porygon, and are causing havoc. Team Rocket is literally inside the system and have set up a virus blocking the Poké Balls from reaching the Pokémon Centers and keeping them for themselves. Akihabara can't send the antivirus in there because it would kill them, so he decided to send Ash and his friends into the machine with Porygon to defeat Team Rocket. They refuse, but Akihabara starts the Human Transporter and the kids are eventually sucked into cyberspace.

The group falls into the Transporter system, but Porygon flies beneath them, grows in size, and catches them. Riding on Porygon's back, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu go over to confront Team Rocket, who are celebrating the success of their virus, which looks like a roadblock sign. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}; Weezing uses {{m|Poison Gas}} on them, making Ash and his friends cough. Then, Porygon regains composure and uses {{m|Conversion}}; its skin color becomes purple, like Weezing's. Porygon then charges, with the group still riding it, right into Weezing and Arbok, effectively [[fainting|knocking them out]].

Jessie decides to send their prototype Porygon out next, which looks similar to Akihabara's Porygon, except that it bears a "[[Team Rocket|R]]" flag on its tail and a zero on its forehead. Jessie's Porygon changes the shape of its head to give itself a sword-like beak and tries to attack the other Porygon, who has also changed shape to counter it. Ash and his friends decide to capitalize on the distraction to move the barrier Team Rocket built to hold back all of the Poké Balls that were intended to be delivered to the Pokémon Centers. Team's Rocket's attempt to stop them is stopped by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}, and Akihabara's Porygon sends them and the prototype Porygon blasting off.

Despite this, Akihabara, represented by a floating TV screen, warns them that Nurse Joy has followed Brock's instructions and hired another technician to put the antivirus program into the computer; and it indiscriminately targets everything and anything, including Team Rocket, Ash, and his friends. Trying to fix the problem himself, the doctor did not tell Nurse Joy about Team Rocket. As the antivirus targets the group, Porygon gathers Ash and his friends to attempt an escape. From the ground, Team Rocket calls Ash out for running away, but are corrected by Ash when he tells them to run from the antivirus. The antivirus then launches a few rockets that destroy the remainder of the Poké Ball barrier, thus destroying the virus. However, the vaccine keeps going! {{MTR}} and the prototype Porygon rescue a panicking Jessie and James from the moving sea of Poké Balls and join Akihabara's Porygon in an attempt to escape.
[[File:EP038SeizureScenes.png|thumb|250px|Scene after Pikachu blew up the missile. For health and safety reasons, please click on the image to view the animation.]]
The vaccine transforms into an object that resembles a flying spaceship and takes pursuit. It launches more missiles that both of the Porygon dodge with difficulty. Inside the Center, Nurse Joy and the technician command the antivirus to unleash a powerful attack. Revealing a gigantic particle gun, it locks onto the prototype Porygon and fires a huge beam, sending Team Rocket downward into a cyberspace bug hole created by the powerful attack. The bug holes created by the antivirus's beam cause a system error, and Joy orders the technician not to use the attack again.

Team Rocket awakens at the bottom of one of the bug pits, and they realize that their Porygon is knocked out and that they cannot escape. The flying antivirus locks onto them again, but {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}} intervenes. Held onto Akihabara's Porygon by Bulbasaur, Team Rocket weighs Porygon down and slows its progress toward the exit portal. The antivirus locks onto Akihabara's Porygon and fires four more missiles, which it is unable to dodge. Pikachu steps in and launches a destructive {{t|Electric}} attack, detonating two of the missiles and giving Porygon just enough time to escape through the exit portal. The next two missiles hit the portal itself, destroying Akihabara's entire house, much to Akihabara's dismay, as his Human Transporter is now in pieces.

In the remains of the mansion, Ash and his friends are relieved to be back in the real world. Team Rocket spitefully thanks Ash for saving them and then quickly leaves, forgetting their prototype Porygon. Ash and his friends decide to check in on the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy is relieved to see the Transport system working again, oblivious to the fact that Ash and his friends risked their lives to fix the system. In the end, however, Ash, Brock, and Misty decide not to tell Nurse Joy of the ordeal.

==Scheduling changes==
After the hiatus, the show moved from Tuesday to Thursday, where it remained until 2018. The original schedule was as follows:
{{Rescheduled episodes‎}}

In the wake of the incident, all references to Pokémon, including a [[It's New Year's Eve! Pocket Monsters Encore|new-year's-eve show celebrating Pokémon]] were removed from TV Tokyo's programming.

==Legacy==
The incident caused by the episode was coined by the Japanese press as the [[Pokémon Shock]]. Before the series restarted, a special report was aired on April 11, 1998, titled ''[[Anime: Pocket Monsters Problem Inspection Report]]''. In addition, an explanation aimed for children {{DL|EP039|Explanation of EP038 incident|was shown on the first episode after the incident}}. However, it has been known some children faked seizures to skip school the next day. Every Pokémon episode that aired up until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except by mistake on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. The resulting hiatus also impacted the production of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', leading to the creation of a prologue explaining {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s backstory, as the episodes foreshadowing its appearance were delayed to beyond the movie's airdate.

To avoid further controversy involving the episode's central plot, {{p|Porygon}} has never had an important role in another episode since, despite {{AP|Pikachu}} being the one to cause the seizure-inducing explosion. Porygon's evolved forms, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, also remained absent from the anime until [[M15|the fifteenth movie]], and even then only appeared in cameo roles. Porygon itself has also made cameo appearances in the first four films and ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. As an indirect result, its [[signature move]] {{m|Conversion}} has never been used in the anime since.

The seizures caused from this episode have infamously made the Pokémon anime a frequent reference when discussing Japanese anime and its quick action and flashy effects. Numerous television shows and movies have made parodies with [[List of Pokémon parodies|notable references]] by ''[https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons The Simpsons]'' in the episode "[https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Thirty_Minutes_Over_Tokyo Thirty Minutes over Tokyo]" (as "Battling Seizure Robots" which gives the entire family seizures) and ''{{wp|South Park}}'' in the episode "{{wp|Chinpokomon}}".

This episode also gave the Pokémon anime the infamous title of "Most Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures Caused by a Television Show" from {{wp|Guinness World Records|The Guinness Book of World Records}}.

On September 19, 2020, the official Pokémon Twitter account posted a tweet that read "Porygon did nothing wrong", likely as a reference to this episode. The tweet has since been deleted.<ref>https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/pokemon-twitter-deletes-porygon-tweet-controversy-and-history.282646/</ref>

==Trivia==

* On May 21 and 26, 2006, [[Maddie Blaustein]] said on the [[Serebii.net]] forum that [[4Kids Entertainment]] did indeed dub this episode, although the validity of this statement has been questioned.<ref>http://www.serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=3281064&postcount=712</ref><ref>http://www.serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=3309430&postcount=731</ref> On September 23, 2016, [[Eric Stuart]] also said that they did dub the episode.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfRtZYcWwt0&t=968s</ref> [[Veronica Taylor]], on the other hand, initially claimed they never dubbed the episode,<ref>http://pokedream.com/pokemon/infocenter/taylor.php</ref> before saying on March 30, 2018, that she was actually unaware at the time as to whether it was dubbed or not, and that Stuart would know more about it being one of the voice directors of the {{pkmn|anime}} at the time.<ref>https://youtu.be/5CDfQVh8bV8?t=2m52s</ref> [[Rachael Lillis]] also said she was unaware as to whether or not the episode was dubbed since decisions were made before it would be.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/drew.s.hemmerich/posts/2628502197161568</ref>
** Contrary to rumors, neither Blaustein nor Stuart said 4Kids reduced the speed and intensity of the flashing explosion to make it safe for viewing.
** The rumor about the existence of an English dub of this episode actually predates Blaustein's word. For example, the first answer Blaustein gave about this episode was a direct response to a user who mentioned reading on Wikipedia about the episode being dubbed: the line "4Kids Entertainment has actually dubbed Computer Soldier Porygon even though it didn't air" was added to the Wikipedia article currently titled {{wp|Pokémon episodes removed from rotation}} on March 15, 2006, and Bulbapedia was used as the source.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_episodes_removed_from_rotation&diff=next&oldid=43907788</ref>
*** In fact, when this Bulbapedia article was created on February 27, 2005, it had the line "4 Kids Entertainment have dubbed this episode and reduced the speed and intensity of the flashing explosion to make it safe, but the episode has still never been shown".<ref>http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP038&oldid=5596</ref> The line has been without a source until October 28, 2007, when "According to Maddie Blaustein" was added at the beginning of the line.<ref>http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP038&diff=prev&oldid=160862</ref>
* [[Fantasy in My Pocket]] replaces [[Meowth's Song]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* [[Dr. Akihabara|Akihabara]], the name of the professor, is also the name of a {{wp|Akihabara|famous electronics district}} in {{wp|Tokyo}}.
* [[Jessie]] and {{Ash}} refer to the two {{p|Porygon}} as 零号機 ''zero-gōki'' and 初号機 ''sho-gōki'', respectively—a likely reference to Evangelion Units 00 and 01 from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
* This is the only aired episode of the anime to be banned worldwide.
* This episode was skipped in the comic adaptation [[Pocket Monsters Film Comic]] and the companion book [[TV Anime Pocket Monsters Big Bite Book]]. However, the missing episode is acknowledged by the numbering of the other summaries (it skips from [[EP037|37]] to [[EP039|39]]).
** This episode is also not included on the ''Pocket Monsters'' episode guide on the Japanese [[Pokémon.com]] website.<ref>http://www.pokemon.co.jp/anime/tv/pokemon.html</ref>

===Errors===
* After {{AP|Pikachu}} attempts to shock the floating head, {{an|Misty}}'s hair has a darker shade.
* While the two Porygon fight, one of Misty's shoes is discolored green.
* When everyone first arrives back in the real world, Porygon is seemingly floating in midair above Misty's head; however, one cut later, it is between Misty and {{an|Brock}}.

'''Ditto's Mysterious Mansion''' (Japanese: '''メタモンとものまねむすめ''' ''{{tt|Metamon|Ditto}} and the Copycat Girl'') is the 37th episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 9, 1997, and in the United States on October 26, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Being caught in a sudden rain shower, our heroes are obliged to seek shelter. In the middle of a clearing, they find a small, ghastly cabin. Dragging the reluctant Misty, Ash and Brock enter the cabin, instantly getting the impression that they are not alone. Could this be a haunted cabin? They soon discover that it is the Copycat house in which the trainer of Ditto lives. Intrigued by Ditto, Ash proposes a battle between Ditto and Pikachu.

==Plot==
When it begins to rain, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stumble across an old house in the middle of nowhere. Believing it to be deserted, they go inside. To their surprise, {{AP|Pikachu}} plays with what seems to be another {{p|Pikachu}}. However, this Pikachu's face is weird, which leads to {{an|Brock}} thinking it is a new kind of Pikachu. Ash tries to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, but a girl dressed as Ash appears and stops him. The girl introduces herself as [[Duplica]] and reveals that the Pikachu is actually her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}}. The mansion is called "the [[House of Imite]]" and serves as a rest stop and performance space for her imitation shows. Upon reading {{p|Ditto}}'s entry in the [[Pokédex]] and hearing that it cannot learn any other [[Move|attacks]] besides {{m|Transform}}, Ash is unconvinced of its usefulness in a {{pkmn|battle}}, so Duplica challenges him to one. Ash chooses {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and tries to attack using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but Duplica's Ditto Transforms and wins using a {{m|Vine Whip}} attack. Later, Duplica explains that she wants to be a Ditto Master and a star. However, she cannot achieve this goal because her Ditto is unable to mirror other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}' faces and always retains the face of a Ditto, much to the disappointment of her audiences.

Then, {{TRT}} appears and tries to steal Ditto, in the hopes that they can get it to transform into {{p|Dratini}} and present it to {{an|Giovanni|their boss}} as a [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Using {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}}, they are able to escape with Ditto. Once they are away from the house, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] try to test Ditto's power by having it turn into a {{p|Dratini}} from a picture in a book that they have. However, Jessie suddenly says that they should have a little bit of fun before handing Ditto over to the boss. She asks Ditto to transform into what a certain boy would look like if he were an adult, and pulls out a photo frame. James and {{MTR}} then try to get Jessie to show the picture to them, but she refuses. Ditto agrees, and transforms into a picture of a man with blue hair, though it has Ditto's face. When it licks Jessie's face, James and Meowth laugh hysterically, but Jessie responds by furiously slapping them unconscious. She then commands Ditto to become a Dratini, but instead, it transforms into a book, which aggravates Jessie even further.

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Ash talks about how a {{pkmn|Trainer}} decides how a Ditto would transform. {{AP|Pidgeotto}} and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}}, who were on guard, return with news that they saw Ditto. Ash and his friends then decide to go and save Ditto. Elsewhere, Team Rocket, frustrated at Ditto's inability to fully transform into whatever they wish, threaten it into transforming correctly, pleasing them. Just then, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}}, and Duplica, all dressed in {{TRT}} uniforms, arrive and perform their own variation of Team Rocket's {{motto}}, much to the anger of the real trio. The group then demands Ditto back, but are surprised to see two identical Meowth. However, Duplica is happy that Team Rocket was able to get her Ditto to transform correctly. Team Rocket tries to trick them by giving them the real Meowth and escaping in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] with Ditto. However, this fails when Duplica says she can tell that Meowth isn't her Ditto, even though it looks identical to the other Meowth. She throws Meowth at the balloon, causing Team Rocket to drop Ditto. Duplica tells it to transform into a cannon and fire Pikachu at the balloon. After being hit by Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}, the balloon bursts and Team Rocket is blasted off again. Now that Ditto can transform perfectly, Duplica reopens her theater for performances. She thanks Ash and his friends, and they leave, with Ash hoping to catch his own Ditto someday.

Meanwhile, Jessie and James attempt to carry out their original plan without Ditto and put Meowth into a Dratini suit to this end, though he is unimpressed and {{m|scratch}}es them.

==Trivia==
[[File:Team Rocket imitation.png|thumb|350px|Ash and his friends imitating Team Rocket]]
* This is the first time that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} [[Team Rocket mottos#Ditto's Mysterious Mansion|mock]] {{TRT}}'s {{motto}} completely.
* The strategy that [[Duplica]] used to defeat [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] will later be repeated in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', when {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s {{p|Venusaur}} defeats [[Corey]]'s {{DL|Corey|Bruteroot}}. Ironically, both {{pkmn|battle}}s had to deal with a Pokémon that technically isn't an original or natural-born, as Mewtwo's Venusaur was created through cloning, whereas [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into Bulbasaur for the fight.
* Duplica claims that Ditto is the only Pokémon that can use Transform, but {{p|Mew}} shares this ability. However, since Mew was at this point a secret Pokémon, the writers probably made Duplica not know about Mew's existence.
* When Duplica imitates Ash, she is even wearing a hat just like his; this shows her knack for getting even rare outfits for her mimicry, as there were only 100 given away.
* When Duplica imitates [[Officer Jenny]], she says "My name's Jenny. You're under arrest for Pokémon poaching." This is a shortened version of what the Officer Jenny stationed in the {{safari|Kanto}} said to the gang in ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]'' and is most likely the same audio, due to the exact same inflections.
* As [[James]] furiously points out, when Ash and his friends imitate Team Rocket, Duplica incorrectly says "To '''ignite''' all peoples within our nation."
* It is revealed that Ditto can also transform into inanimate objects like books, photo-frames, etc.
* It is also revealed that Ditto cannot transform into a Pokémon from a picture, so there must be a real one around for it to imitate.
** Also, since it gains all the abilities of the Pokémon it transforms into, if that Pokémon has learned to speak human language then Ditto can temporarily gain that ability for itself.
* This episode was not shown in order by [[Pokémon in South Asia#Pokémon on Hungama TV|Hungama TV in India]] for unknown reasons. This episode was shown after [[EP051]], and [[EP036]] was directly followed by [[EP039]], as [[EP038]] is [[Banned episodes|banned]] globally.
* In the first Japanese airing, the next episode preview was from [[EP038]], and in the subsequent airings, there is no preview. However, when Kids Station airs this episode, the preview is from [[EP039]].
* Team Rocket's plan for Ditto to pose as a Dratini (and later to force Meowth himself to disguise himself as such) for their boss may be a reference to the events of [[EP035]].

===Errors===
* Ash's gloves disappear briefly at the beginning.
* When Ash's Bulbasaur is caught in the vines, the grip gets looser between shots.
* In the Swedish dub, James says "Drantini" instead of "Dratini" when imagining himself giving it to the boss.
* When Ditto transforms into Voltorb, its mouth is on the bottom half on its body. However, it then appears on the upper half, before moving back to the bottom half.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 2
* Ditto keeps its Japanese voice when it's transformed into Pikachu in the English version.
* The scene where Team Rocket gets irritated by the imitation motto is removed from the German version.

==Blurb==

In the course of a journey, one meets up with many different things. Returning to civilization after a long period of wandering, our heroes find a bridge that reaches 20 kilometers in length. There is no way to reach Sunnytown—on the other side of the bridge—but by crossing. The bridge, however, has been designed especially for bicycles. The party tries to purchase bicycles in order to cross the bridge, but lacking the funds and otherwise at a complete loss, they decide to stop by the Pokémon Center and re-evaluate their plans. At the Pokémon Center, by pure luck, a job awaits them—delivering medicine to Sunnytown.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} come across a bridge, but when they try to walk on it, an officer named {{OBP|Norman|EP036}} says only the bike track was ready, not the actual road. Devastated, {{ashfr|the group}} then sees a [[Bicycle|bike]] store, but their prices are expensive. The group retreats to the [[Pokémon Center]] to think of a plan to get a bike. Suddenly, a worried [[Nurse Joy]] appears and says she had to deliver medicine for injured {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} over the bridge to [[Sunnytown]], but she cannot leave the Center because she has Pokémon to attend to. Ash and Misty agree to carry out the task for her after Nurse Joy informs them she has several spare bikes. Misty and Brock ride a tandem bicycle, whilst Ash leads in his single bike, enjoying the bridge's view and fresh air. Meanwhile, below the bridge, [[James]] rows an inflatable boat whilst [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} peer through their binoculars and notice Ash and his friends. Jessie and James mention the area could almost be considered their hometown and make plans to target {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Just after Ash and his friends finish their refreshments, they find themselves surrounded by a group of wild {{tc|biker}}s. They tried to escape, but the gang's leader [[Chopper]] challenges Ash to a {{pkmn|battle}}. He sends out his {{p|Golem}} and Ash calls on {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Golem's shell protects it from Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}} and it easily wins with a single {{m|Tackle}}. Ash then sends out {{AP|Charmander}}, who sets Golem alight with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}. Golem's Tackle misses Charmander, and it strikes several of the gang members instead. Chopper withdraws his Golem, but the {{i|Poké Ball}} is still hot from Charmander's attack.

Next, [[Tyra]], the other leader of the bike gang, sends out {{p|Cloyster}} against Misty, who tries to send out {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, but {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} appears instead. Misty decides to give it a chance, but Psyduck's attacks repeatedly backfire on it. Before Psyduck has a chance to develop a headache from Cloyster's own attacks, {{TRT}} arrives, riding on unicycles and saying their {{motto}}. They receive a heroes' welcome from the bicycle gang, who refer to Jessie as "Chainer Jessie" and "Big Jess" for her penchant of swinging a chain around as she rode her bike, and James as "Little Jim" and "Trainer James" because he was the only one in the bike gang who had to use training wheels. Just as Team Rocket and the bike gang begin to attack Ash, Misty, and Brock, the police arrive. The bike gang immediately rides off, almost leaving Team Rocket behind. When [[Officer Jenny]] arrives, she offers them a ride, though she retracts her offer after being called to another emergency. As the [[weather]] becomes ferocious and turns into a storm, the bicycle gang and Team Rocket seek refuge in a building. Chopper and Tyra then challenge Team Rocket to ride through the storm on their unicycles. The whole trio falls for the peer pressure and accepts the task.

In [[Sunnytown]], Nurse Joy calls the other Pokémon Center; she is worried that medicine hasn't arrived to cure the injured Pokémon, a {{p|Shellder}}. As Ash and his friends continue to ride through the rainstorm, the bridge lifts to allow a ship to pass through. However, they determinedly continue riding. Simultaneously, Team Rocket are trying their hardest to pedal their unicycles up the other side of the upturned bridge. Just as Ash, Misty, and Brock are not going to make it, they see Team Rocket jumping from the other side and promptly bounce on their heads, sending the trio into the water while allowing themselves to be propelled upward and on to the other side. As they pass the bike gang, they are challenged to a battle. When Ash refuses and tells them that he is delivering medicine for a sick Pokémon, the gang decides to escort them. They arrive in time, and Nurse Joy quickly pours the medicine into the tank, instantly improving Shellder's condition. Misty phones through to the other town's Nurse Joy, alerting her to their arrival. The bike gang promptly calls Ash and Misty "Awesome Ash" and "Mighty Misty". Brock tells Tyra that she can call him "Honey", only to receive a slap.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket emerges out of the water, stacked on a single unicycle and covered in seaweed.

==Major events==

* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are revealed to have been members of a [[bicycle|bike]] gang in the past.
* [[Misty's Psyduck]] is revealed to be able to use {{m|Confusion}} and {{m|Disable}} only when its headache is severe enough.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Version 2)
* Originally, Misty wanted curry while Brock wanted ''{{wp|Chazuke|ochazuke}}'' or pancakes. In the English version, Misty wants a hot dog while Brock wants deep-dish extra cheese pizza.
* The Pokémon Center's poster had text removed.
* Misty complains about doing all the work on the bike she and Brock share, while originally she was upset because she wanted a bike only she rode, not a shared bike.
* Big Jess and Little Jim were originally addressed with 姉御 ''Anego'' (big sister) and 兄貴 ''Aniki'' (big brother).
** Jessie's original nickname was チェーンのムサシ ''Chēn no Musashi'' (Chain {{tt|Musashi|Jessie}}) instead of Chainer Jessie. While James's was 補助輪のコジロウ ''Hojorin no Kojirō'' (Training Wheels {{tt|Kojirō|James}}) instead of Trainer James.
* In the Danish dub, Norman's dialogue is altered to include a contemporary pop culture reference to {{wp|Scandlines}} TV commercial characters Kaj and Bøje, a pair of seagulls.
* In the Swedish dub, Norman states that the bridge is ''en och en halv mil'', 15 kilometers.
* In the Swedish dub, in the end, Jessie and James say "nu är det Jul igen" '('now it's Christmas again''), probably making a pun on the fact that ''hjul'' (''wheel'') and ''Jul'' (''Christmas'') have the same pronunciation and the fact that they are cycling on a unicycle.

(Japanese: '''ミニリュウのでんせつ''' ''The Legend of {{tt|Miniryu|Dratini}}'') is the 35th episode of the [[Pokemon: Indigo League|Indigo League series]] and [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 25, 1997, but was [[Banned episodes|not aired]] anywhere else outside of Asia.
{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After finally entering the safari zone, our heroes meet up with the elderly supervisor of the zone. As they are being explained the rules of the safari zone in his office, a picture, carefully hung there, catches Ash’s attention. It is a picture of the elderly supervisor as a boy, taken alongside a Dratini, the legendary Pokémon. Ash asks desperately about the existence of Dratini, but the elderly man denies everything. Hearing of the plenitude of Pokémon in the safari zone, Team Rocket also arrives on the scene.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are about to reach the {{safari|Kanto}}, Ash happily sings about it. Brock asks Ash to stop singing, but Ash ignores him. Misty and Pikachu sing along, and Brock gives in and decides to sing as well. Just then, a man approaches from a nearby building and abruptly demands that they keep quiet. When Ash asks what the man's problem is, the man pulls out a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|firearm]] and asks whether he wants to get shot. The group hastily apologizes and the man relents, then introduces himself as [[Kaiser]], the Safari Zone warden.

Inside the warden's office, Kaiser shows the group a basket of [[Safari Ball]]s and a [[Fishing|fishing rod]]. Ash is delighted and reaches out eagerly for them, but Kaiser pulls his gun out and explains the rules of the Safari Zone: all that is permitted to be used are the Safari Balls and the fishing rod. If they break the rules, his gun, nicknamed Thunderbolt, will burn them. He then points the gun at Ash's head to demonstrate his point. Misty notices a picture of Kaiser as a young man, in which he is holding a {{p|Dratini}}. As Ash and Misty view the picture, Brock tells them that he has heard rumors of a Dratini living in this Safari Zone. Suddenly, Kaiser leaps forward and snatches the picture from Misty's hand, screaming that there is no Dratini. Ash argues otherwise, but he is silenced by seeing Kaiser reach for his gun. Kaiser leaves the group and walks outside, taking the picture with him. He stares at the picture and apologizes to Dratini, saying that he will never bother it again.

Meanwhile, Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}} for further details, and Oak explains that he knows Kaiser well. Thirty years ago, a Dratini was found in the Safari Zone by Kaiser himself. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from all over flocked to the Safari Zone to catch Dratini, but while they were there, they caught many other Pokémon in the process, literally destroying the Safari Zone. Since then, only the use of Safari Balls has been allowed in the Safari Zone. The Dratini was never found, and all that remains is a picture. {{TRT}}, overhearing the conversation, decides to catch Dratini and the Safari Zone's other Pokemon. Later, Ash, Misty, and Brock are about to enter the Safari Zone, Safari Balls and fishing rods in hand. They are confronted by Team Rocket, who proposes a challenge: whichever group catches more Pokémon will win. If Ash and his friends win, Team Rocket won't bother the group ever again. If Team Rocket wins, they will take all of the group's Pokémon. Ash accepts the challenge, confident that he will win.

The first Pokémon that Ash and his friends see are a herd of {{p|Tauros}}; and Ash and Brock catch two of them easily with Safari Balls. The group then hides behind bushes while observing a {{p|Rhyhorn}}. Ash throws a Safari Ball at it, but just then, the herd of Tauros run past, causing Ash to end up catching another Tauros. [[Jessie]] observes the group from afar, commenting on how Team Rocket will end up getting all of the Pokémon anyways. It is revealed that Team Rocket is inside the entrance building, with [[James]] holding a firearm to Kaiser's head. Jessie holds another firearm to Kaiser's head while asking him to tell them where Dratini is. Kaiser resists, prompting Jessie to send out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to {{m|wrap}} itself around him. After several unsuccessful attempts at getting Kaiser to talk, Team Rocket sends out a [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] that tickles Kaiser, causing him to finally concede.

Meanwhile, Misty shows off her lure case to the group, which includes a {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Seel}}, and {{p|Psyduck}} lure. She takes out [[Misty's special lure|one modeled after herself]] and throws it into the lake. Soon after, she gets a bite from a {{p|Gyarados}}, but the line breaks, allowing the Gyarados to return to the water. Kaiser appears before them, still being tickled by the mecha, and asks them to help get it off of him. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, effectively stopping the machine. Kaiser then reveals that Team Rocket is going after Dratini, who is in the Dragon Valley.

Team Rocket is at a lake inhabited by Dratini. James and {{MTR}} don scuba gear and attempt to find Dratini, while Jessie waits for them above. Suddenly, a Dratini emerges from the water and reveals itself to Jessie. She kneels down on the air supply pipe, causing James and Meowth to struggle to breathe, whilst she calls for the Dratini to come closer. Just as Jessie tries to grab it, James and Meowth splash out of the water, scaring it away. Jessie starts to yell at them, when Meowth reveals a backup plan to capture all the Pokémon in the lake. He explains that the electric bomb he is holding will zap all the Pokémon in the water and cause them to rise to the surface. Just then, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Kaiser intervene. Jessie asks whether Ash has caught any Pokémon, and he answers that he has used up all of the Safari Balls, signifying victory. Jessie says that the game isn't over yet and throws in the bomb.

Ash and Kaiser jump into the lake after it, while Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} to assist Ash and Kaiser. Ash and Staryu catch up to Kaiser, and Ash orders Staryu to take Kaiser back to the surface. He reaches the bottom, retrieves the bomb, and starts to swim back up, but he runs out of air and falls to the lake-bed. Suddenly, a storm begins and a giant whirlpool churns the lake's waters. A bright blue light beams through the whirlpool, a {{p|Dragonair}} emerges with Ash on its back, and the skies clear up. Ash throws the bomb back at Team Rocket just as the timer sets off, causing Team Rocket to blast off. Ash returns to the group and Dragonair approaches Kaiser, who realizes that it is the same Dratini that he took care of all those years ago. A Dratini appears next to Dragonair, and Kaiser realizes that this Dratini is Dragonair's child. Both Kaiser and Dragonair are moved to tears by their reunion after so many years.

Back at the warden's office, Ash promises Oak that they will never share their experience in the Safari Zone with others. Oak says that the group has grown up well and asks Ash if he has sent him any new Pokémon. Just then, a herd of {{AP|Tauros}} trample over the Professor in a stampede, revealing that in the end, Ash failed to catch anything but Tauros. Ash and his friends bid farewell to Kaiser, with Dratini and Dragonair watching over them.

==Major events==

* {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} enter the {{safari|Kanto}} and receive thirty [[Safari Ball]]s from [[Kaiser]] to be used within the Zone.
* Ash uses his Safari Balls to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} thirty {{AP|Tauros}}, all of which he subsequently sends to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
** Ash also tries to catch a {{p|Rhyhorn}}, but the Safari Ball hits a bypassing Tauros, catching it instead.

==Banning==
[[File:Gun.png|thumb|250px|[[Kaiser]] pointing his [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] at {{Ash}}]]
This controversial episode was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in almost all countries outside of Japan, largely due to the pervasive use of firearms, which are pointed at {{Ash}} and [[Kaiser]] and fired at [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Even though the scenes where Kaiser threatens Ash, Misty and Brock with his guns were intended for comic effect, [[4Kids Entertainment]] still found this too dark for children. 4Kids used footage of this episode in the [[Pokérap]], which means that they obtained the episode from Japan. However, according to [[Eric Stuart]], there was never an English dub for this episode, as network television refused to have it aired when the scene with Kaiser pointing a gun at Ash was shown.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZEwxKn6t58&t=16s</ref> Unfortunately for fans, when the episode was skipped, it created a major plot hole for non-Japanese versions of the show, confusing many viewers on how, when, where, and why Ash caught thirty {{AP|Tauros}}, although {{an|Professor Oak}} mentioned it once in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''. To a lesser extent, the episode also explained Team Rocket's plan for ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.

Some sources also claim that {{MTR}}'s moustache during the interrogation scene resembles that of {{wp|Adolf Hitler}} and thus contributed to the banning. However, it is more likely that this moustache is based on a stereotypical detective moustache instead.

On a related note, this was technically the fourth banned episode to feature a fairly important event, as ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', and ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', which featured Ash's {{p|Metapod}}'s [[evolution]] into {{AP|Butterfree}}, Ash earning the {{badge|Rainbow}}, and Ash earning the {{badge|Soul}}, respectively, had been [[Pokémon in South Korea|banned in South Korea]] due to overt references to Japanese culture because of tense relationships between the two countries (specifically, samurais, Japanese traditional clothing for women, and ninjas, respectively).

==Trivia==
* Although the episode was never dubbed in English, the video for the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] uses footage of {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} from this episode, as well as a clip of {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} catching a Gyarados. The footage of Dratini and Dragonair is also used in the music video of [[What Kind of Pokémon Are You?]] in [[Pikachu's Jukebox]].
* Although the episode was never aired in English, a summary [http://web.archive.org/web/20011202024601/http://www.pokemon.com/cartoons/cartoons_02g.html was posted on Pokémon.com], and the episode numbered as episode 35. However, an English [[dub]] title was never listed.
* The Japanese version of [[Netflix]] has English descriptions for every [[Banned episodes|banned episode]], including this episode: "Ash and his friends meet the warden of the Safari Zone. While being briefed on the safari rules at his office, they spot an intriguing photograph."
* This is the first appearance of [[Misty's special lure]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. However, due to this episode being banned in numerous countries, the lure first appeared in the English dub in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''.
* The [[Safari Ball]]s pictured in this episode are vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites, likely due to a design change between the time of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]]. This is similar to the alteration in design of the [[Sport Ball]], which appears differently between [[EP161|its anime debut]] and its [[Generation IV]] reintroduction with an in-game sprite.
** By extension, this episode marks the anime debut of any non-standard [[Poké Ball]].
* The mecha that Team Rocket uses in this episode made a reappearance (and its first appearance outside Asia) in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', 591 episodes later.
* This is the first episode in which a main character catches more than one Pokémon of the same species. This wouldn't occur again until ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', 1,057 episodes later.
* With 30 Pokémon, this episode features the largest number of individual Pokémon caught by a main character in a single episode.
* [[Kaiser]]'s appearance, demeanor, and handgun bear a resemblance to the {{wp|Man with No Name}}, a character from the {{wp|Spaghetti Western}} ''{{wp|Dollars Trilogy}}'', played by {{wp|Clint Eastwood}}. In addition, the name of Kaiser's gun, "Thunderbolt", is a reference to the {{wp|crime film}} ''{{wp|Thunderbolt and Lightfoot}}'', where Clint Eastwood also plays a starring role.

===Errors===
* When Dragonair is emerging from the lake, the R logo on Jessie's shirt is missing.

==In other languages==
As most dubs are based on the English adaptation, this episode has not aired in most of the world outside of Japan.

==Blurb==

On their way to a safari zone teeming with Pokémon, our heroes walk right into the middle of a jungle. Without knowing they are in a region in which Pokémon are protected, Ash tries to capture a Chansey and is arrested by Jenny, the safari ranger. After talking with the ranger, Ash is released, but not before he learns that there are Pokémon poachers in the area. Our heroes accompany the ranger into the forest, pursuing the poachers. Within the jungle, a young man leads a pack of Kangaskhan. His name is Tommy and no one knows the secret of his childhood.

==Plot==
As {{ashfr|the group}} travels through what they believe to be the {{safari|Kanto}}, {{Ash}} spots a {{p|Chansey}} and gets ready to throw a {{i|Poké Ball}}, but it turns out to be [[Officer Jenny|Ranger Jenny]] in a Chansey hat. She points a rifle at Ash and arrests him for Pokémon poaching. She takes the group back to the station and explains that they are in a Pokémon Preservation Area, where it is illegal to catch Pokémon. Ash tells Officer Jenny that he didn't know, so she lets them off with a warning. Almost immediately after, she sees a red dot on her radar, signaling that there are more poachers in the area.

After Ash and his friends offer their assistance, Jenny escorts the group via jeep to the signal location, where they find {{TRT}} trying to capture a group of {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Ash looks at his [[Pokédex]], which says the Kangaskhan charge when in danger until they feel their young are safe. Team Rocket fires a rocket, which scares all the Kangaskhan and makes them charge towards the jeep. The group manages to escape, but Team Rocket traps all of the Kangaskhan in a net. Team Rocket pulls up in a red jeep, with a box full of Poké Balls, and admire their catch. Jenny is unable to do anything, with the jeep engine now overheated because of an earlier incident. Jessie throws a Poké Ball, but it is hit by a boomerang and sent flying back at her. Suddenly, a kid begins to yell and swings in on a vine; he cuts the net with his boomerang and sets the Kangaskhan free. The boy orders the Kangaskhan to attack Team Rocket. They are quickly surrounded and receive several tail whips before the final spinning blow is dealt and they are sent blasting off. The kid jumps into the pouch of the biggest Kangaskhan, and after his command, the entire herd walks away. Ash admires the boy's ability to communicate with the Pokémon.

Suddenly, a helicopter lands and [[Tommy's parents|two adults]] come out, saying they heard a report of their missing child in the area. At Jenny's request, they all go back to the station and hear that the boy, {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}}, is living in the area. His mother explains that, five years ago, at the age of three, the family decided to take him on a globe-trotting adventure. Tommy's father decided to hold him outside the helicopter's window, and despite his wife's warning, he dropped their son into the forest below. They managed to locate Tommy's parachute, though their search for their son was in vain. Tommy's mother then states that they received a photo of a boy leading some Kangaskhan, and thought that it might be their son. Jenny instantly recognizes the boy in the photo as Tomo, the same boy who rescued the Kangaskhan from Team Rocket, and reveals that she has a directory of his details with her. Ash and his friends instantly agree to assist in the search.

Later, Ash and his friends wander in the jungle, being forced to carry Tommy's parents in a {{wp|palanquin}}. However, they drop the palanquin after noticing an abandoned, injured infant Kangaskhan, and {{an|Brock}} applies a [[Super Potion]] to its wounds. However, the Super Potion stings it as it is applied; as a result, Tommy hears the infant's cries and thinks Brock is hurting it. Brock and {{an|Misty}} manage to dodge the flying boomerang, which instead hits Ash's cheek. Tommy confronts the group, though Misty intervenes and demands an apology. When Tommy asks Misty if she is a person or Pokémon, she punches him and says that they are people. Tommy's parents run over and talk to him, thinking he will remember them. Misty asks Tommy to remember, though he has a flashback of being lulled to sleep by the Kangaskhan herds' singing. When he claims the Kangaskhan are his family, Tommy's father smacks him with a piece of wood to jog his memory, though he only remembers his mother. His father opens his shirt, hoping Tommy remembers him, but Misty smacks him with a piece of wood and drags him away. Confused and frustrated with the revelation he has two mothers, Tommy develops a headache. Just then, Jenny's radar detects more poachers, and Tommy rushes over to the Kangaskhan to help. Seeing Tommy's knee-jerk reaction to aid the Kangaskhan, his mother feels her efforts to retrieve him are hopeless, though she is reassured by her husband.

The rest of the group find a [[Team Rocket's mechas|giant robot Kangaskhan]] manned by Team Rocket. Jessie uses a radio speaker to pretend to be injured, persuading the other Kangaskhan to go help it. The Kangaskhan leader attempts to stop its clan, aware that something is amiss, but they ignore it and are lured in. James fires tranquilizer darts from the robot's mouth, causing the Kangaskhan to fall asleep. Tommy arrives to find most of the herd are fast asleep and responds by throwing his boomerang, though his effort is ineffective. Team Rocket turn their attention to him, launching a Rocket Punch, though Tommy dodges it. At that moment, the others arrive, and Ash calls out his Pokémon. {{AP|Bulbasaur}} uses {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} uses {{m|Skull Bash}}, but neither of them work against the robot. Team Rocket powers up for an attack, but the Kangaskhan break free. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Charmander}} use {{m|Thunder Shock}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}, respectively. When Tommy throws his boomerang, it hits the robot's fuel cap and the gasoline pours out, while Charmander's fire sets it ablaze. Though the robot is on fire, it doesn't slow down and begins charging towards Jenny's jeep as she attempts to flee. Suddenly, Tommy's parents ram their helicopter into the robot in a {{wp|kamikaze}} attack, causing it to explode. Team Rocket is sent blasting off again.

Everyone, including Tommy, fears his parents are dead and he begins to cry, but they suddenly emerge from the twisted debris, wearing similar clothes as Tommy. They reveal that they will join Tommy and his herd, much to Tommy's delight, and the family embraces each other. The next day, Ash and his friends continue on their journey, but they are worried about Tommy and his family's future. However, the Kangaskhan herd reappear on a ridge; Tommy, his parents, and the infant Kangaskhan, in the leader's pouch, wave goodbye, confirming Brock's reassurances and optimism.

==Trivia==
* The character of {{OBP|Tommy|EP034}} may be based on that of {{wp|Tarzan}} or {{wp|Mowgli}}.
* The events of this episode are later referenced in the beginning of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''.
* [[Officer Jenny]] aims a rifle directly at {{Ash}} in this episode and [[James]] shoots tranquilizers into Pokémon with a tranquilizer gun, yet a similar occurrence with firearms in [[EP035|the next episode]] resulted in it being banned outside of Japan.
* This episode marks the second time [[Jessie]] is hit in the face with a Poké Ball, the first being in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''.

* During a scene where Tommy flashes back on his early childhood and recalls an evening scene with the Kangaskhan herd, the original Japanese audio was left in. The lullaby sung by the {{p|Kangaskhan}} through their Japanese name, Garura, can be heard.
* When the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub was released on Netflix on March 31, 2020, the episode was fully re-dubbed, retaining only the intro, the [[Kanto Pokérap]], and the ending credits from the first dub.

===Errors===
* During the scene where {{p|Tangela}} walks by Ash and {{ashfr}}, Ash's Japanese voice can be heard.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 4
* When Ash and his friends first encounter Tommy, the gag of {{an|Misty}} telling Tommy to apologize was changed for the dubbed English version. In the original Japanese version, Tommy becomes focused on Misty's breasts, which the camera zooms in on. When she notices him staring and asks "What?", Tommy asks if he can nurse on her breasts. Misty gets very angry and hits him, saying, "How did ''that'' end up being you answer?!" For the dubbed English version, the shot of Misty's breasts was cut, and he asks, "You people or Pokémon?" She gets very angry, hits him, and declares "I'm a person, you creep!" However, the zooming sound effect can still be heard.
* Similarly, a scene with [[Tommy's parents|Tommy's father]] was also edited. Shortly after Tommy regains his memories, he says "Hey Tommy, remember Papa?" while opening his shirt, only for Misty to whack him on the head, feeling that Tommy has enough issues as it is. In the Japanese version, Tommy's father was actually asking whether Tommy remembers being breastfed, which explains why he was opening up his shirt, and Misty, still feeling sore about the breast reference, knocks him out.
* While operating the robot Kangaskhan, James pulls a rope with a sign "Power Up!!" on it. Later, he pulls another rope, but the sign on it is blank when it should say "Super Punch".

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our heroes come to a prairie where the Laramies, a family of Pokémon Ranchers live. They learn from a daughter of the Laramie family that a race is held at the ranch once a year to measure the growth of everyone's Pokémon. Team Rocket, however, attacks her, the race's top contender. Injured, the daughter of the Laramie family decides to give up on the race, but entrusts her hopes of victory to Ash. Who will be the winner in a race between Ash, Brock, Misty, and Team Rocket?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in [[Safari Land]], near the {{safari|Kanto}}, where they come across a {{p|Tauros}} ranch. Wanting to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} one, believing they are now in the Safari Zone, Ash tries to have {{AP|Pikachu}} face down the stampede, but Pikachu refuses because he is massively outnumbered. When Ash sends out {{AP|Charmander}}, it is immediately pinned by a {{p|Growlithe}}. After a brief trade of {{m|Flamethrower}}s by the two {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, Ash and friends are introduced to [[Lara Laramie]], of the Laramie Big P Ranch, who a ranch that preserves and raises [[wild Pokémon]]. {{an|Brock}} immediately recognizes the name, as it is said that Pokémon bred by the Laramie clan are of superior standard. After Ash realizes that they are not in the Safari Zone, Lara invites them to the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] that will be held the next day. Lara intends to race with her {{p|Ponyta}}, a Pokémon whose mane will burn anyone it does not trust. When Ash tries to touch Ponyta, his hand is burned, and he has {{AP|Squirtle}} put out the flames. Lara's main opposition is [[Dario]], a {{p|Dodrio}} Trainer. Lara explains that the winning team of Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}} will be named as an honorary member of the Laramie clan.

At the festival in Laramie Village, while many are cheering Lara on, Dario arrives to tell Lara that her Tauros have suddenly begun attacking each other over a bout of confusion. After they arrive on the scene, Lara tells Growlithe to tame the Tauros, but during all this Ponyta is spooked, causing Lara to be thrown off, injuring her arm. As Ash tries to rein in Ponyta, it is revealed that {{TRT}} spooked the Tauros that led to Lara's incapacitated state, at the request of Dario. Dario intends to win the competition by any means necessary, while Team Rocket seeks to make money from the Laramie fortune.

Back at the Laramie household, with her injured arm, Lara would not be able to ride Ponyta, but after seeing Ash try to rein in Ponyta, she tries to convince Ash to take her place. At first, Ponyta is reluctant and burns Ash again, but Lara insists that both stand to gain from winning, with Ash improving his Trainer skills and Ponyta from its upbringing. Ash and Ponyta use the entire night to prepare for the race.

At the race, many pairs have entered the race, among them Dario and Dodrio, Ash and Ponyta, Brock and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, Misty and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, as well as the all-Pokémon team of Pikachu and Squirtle representing Ash's entry. When the race starts, Dario and Dodrio quickly take the lead, while Pikachu and Squirtle quickly fall to the back of the pack , though they do eventually catch up. At the same time, Team Rocket make two well-aimed slingshots that spook a Tauros, and he runs into a {{p|Nidorina}}, and they take their frustrations out on each other. After a sprint comes a steep uphill portion, where Pikachu is forced to push Squirtle up the hill, putting them far behind once again. Then, the racers come upon a downhill section where another violent accident occurs: an {{p|Electrode}} and its Trainer roll down the hill uncontrollably, and a pitfall trap dug up by Team Rocket manages to take it out. This gives Dario a significant lead, while Electrode's {{m|Explosion}} attack manages to incapacitate a {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Raticate}}, but most importantly Ash and Ponyta. Ash and Ponyta, however, are able to continue, thanks to Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}} and the fact that the other two Pokémon were still lagging far behind.

Farther up ahead is a stepping-stone portion, which Dario and Dodrio cross with ease. However, another two chasers are forced out of the competition, with Brock's Onix being fearful of water and a farmhand with his {{p|Rhyhorn}} attempting to cross a stone that sank. This leaves only four teams still racing. While Ash and Ponyta navigate the stones, Starmie and Squirtle swim across the water easily. At the next portion, teams must make a stop and allow their Pokémon to eat an entire plate of Pokémon food before sprinting to the finish. Dario and Dodrio are the first to arrive, but the other racers catch up whilst Dodrio's three heads fight over who gets to eat first.

Desperate to eliminate the other three teams, Dario is forced to use Team Rocket's assistance once more; from which Ash and Misty learn of Dario's alliance with Team Rocket. Ash tells Pikachu and Squirtle, who had both been scarfing down Pokémon food during Team Rocket's motto, to take care of Team Rocket, but {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s {{m|Glare}} paralyzes them, while Starmie is blinded by {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s {{m|Sludge}}. This allows Dario enough time to take off towards the finish. Misty decides to handle Team Rocket and implores Ash and Ponyta to keep going. Team Rocket causes Ponyta to literally get fired up, shocking Arbok. Weezing tries to attack Ponyta despite James telling it not to use gas, but Ponyta's flames ignite Weezing's {{m|Smog}}, and it explodes, sending Team Rocket flying.

Now desperate to make up ground, Ash and Ponyta race towards the finish line. When Ash and Ponyta catch up, Dario then orders one of Dodrio's heads to {{m|Peck}} Ponyta, slowing it down. Dario then speeds off, taking the lead, Everyone is then startled when Ponyta [[Evolution|evolves]] through sheer will to win into the much-faster {{p|Rapidash}}. Ash and Rapidash catch up to Dario and by a nostril manage to overtake him to claim the victory in a photo finish. Believing that he had been cheated, Dario orders Dodrio to attack Rapidash, but is sent flying by a kick from its powerful hooves. Lara proudly holds the winner's flag and Rapidash nuzzles Ash.

As the festivities wrap up, Ash and his friends bid farewell to the Laramie Ranch, and continue on their way to the Safari Zone. Meanwhile, Dario, who blames Team Rocket for his loss, has tied them to a tree to scold them. His Dodrio delivers its own revenge, pecking the trio mercilessly after Meowth insults it.

==Trivia==
[[File:EP033 Error.png|thumb|200px|right|Squirtle's missing belly lines]]
* Despite {{p|Ponyta}}'s height being {{tt|3'03"|1m}} (probably measured like regular horses are, at the shoulder) in the {{pkmn|games}}, the one featured in this episode [[Size discrepancies in the Pokémon anime|appears much taller]]. This was likely done to make it appear large enough to be ridden by a person.
* The Laramie family's name may be a reference to {{wp|Fort Laramie National Historic Site|Fort Laramie}}. The name is unchanged from the Japanese version.
* It is revealed that Ponyta can control their flames and will only burn riders they do not trust.
* [[Pokémon Ondo]] is used as background music during the festival scene, also in the English [[dub]].
** This is the only English dub episode where a Japanese song retains its Japanese lyrics.
* The race's rules state that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} must be used to compete. While not exactly the same, this ruling is similar to the bike race featured in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] chapter, ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You're Snorlax!]]'', in which Pokémon can also be used.

* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 2: Fire'' copy of [[Pokémon Elements]].
* When {{TRT}} talks to [[Dario]], {{wp|dollar}} ($), {{wp|cifrão}}, and {{wp|Japanese yen}} (¥) signs appear behind [[James]] instead of the Pokémon Dollar ({{PDollar}}) signs used in the localized games.
* At the end of the episode, {{MTR}} cries out, "James! Stop this crazy thing!" This is a reference to the American cartoon ''{{wp|The Jetsons}}'', where {{wp|George Jetson}} screams "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!" during the ending credits.
** This later happens in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria]]''.

===Errors===
* At the beginning and the end of the episode, the [[narrator]] states that {{ashfr|the group}} is in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]]. However, they are on the Laramie Ranch, part of the Pokémon Reserve. This is probably because the actual Safari Zone episode, [[EP035]], was skipped in the English dub.
* A {{pkmn|Trainer}} is shown in the starting line riding a {{p|Nidorino}}, but after {{p|Tauros}} is hit by Team Rocket with a slingshot, the same Trainer appears riding a {{p|Nidorina}} before being hit by the Tauros.
* After {{p|Electrode}} explodes in the English dub, {{AP|Squirtle}} says "Zeni Zeni!" as it runs up to {{Ash}} with {{AP|Pikachu}}, a line that went mistakenly undubbed. Also, right before {{TP|James|Weezing}} uses its {{m|Smog}} attack on {{p|Ponyta}}, its Japanese voice can be heard.
** Incidentally, as the dub retains the insert song [[Pokémon Ondo]], {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}}'s Japanese voices can also be heard.
* When {{an|Misty}} tells {{Ash}} to continue on with the race, the lines on Squirtle's stomach are missing.
* As Ponyta begins to evolve, Ash begins glowing as well and isn't visible until the Pokémon finishes evolving into Rapidash.
* The finish line's banner reads "GOOL", likely a misspelling of "GOAL". 
* After [[Lara Laramie|Lara]] calls Ash a great Pokémon Trainer, he has no shoes while the camera zooms out.
* As Ash is eating the chocolate fish, the "z's" on his cheeks disappear when he speaks.
* When Ponyta stops for Pokémon food, Ash's [[Ash's hat|hat]] is uncolored for a few frames.

</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* Dario calls Team Rocket by their names in the English dub while he calls them ''sensei'' in the Japanese version.
* The scene in which Lara breaks her arm is longer in the Japanese version. When she falls off of Ponyta and her arm hits the ground, the impact animation lasts for 1 second, or 30 frames. That impact animation in the English dub lasts for 1/10 of a second, or 3 frames.
** On a related note, Lara's arm was only said to be hurt in the Japanese version, not necessarily broken.
** This is actually not a dub edit, but caused by the fact that the version used for the dub came from pre-[[EP038]] source material. However the rest of the episode was from post-[[EP038]] source material.
* In the Japanese version, Lara never states that she is related to the Laramie family.

==Blurb==

Fuchsia Gym, the authorized gym where Ash seeks his next badge, turns out to be a hidden ninja's lair. After finally discovering and entering the gym, he is held up by a complex system of traps. At last, the gym's eccentric trainer challenges Ash to a match. Just as he defeats the trainer, the official battle with the Master begins. The battle goes out of control as Team Rocket also enters the gym and its vast array of traps. Can Ash actually earn the gym badge?

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} find themselves lost in a forest en route to the [[Fuchsia Gym]] and decide to take a break by a waterfall. Brock brushes {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} and comments on its wonderful hair, whilst {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} takes a sip of water. Misty tells Psyduck that drinking cold water will only make its headache worse, but Psyduck responds with a blank stare, which angers her. She then asks Brock if he would like to [[trade]] Vulpix for Psyduck, though he refuses. As they head off for the Gym, a {{p|Venonat}} watches them from the trees.

As Ash and {{ashfr}} continue walking, they end up at an odd-looking mansion where they stop to ask directions, though it appears to be deserted. Misty leans against a wall and falls through it. Brock knocks on the wall and it is revealed to be a secret door, in which they quickly locate Misty. Suddenly, the same {{p|Venonat}} that was spying on them before appears. It hops away, so they decide to follow it. However, Ash runs into a small series of mishaps, such as being electrocuted by a {{p|Voltorb}}, colliding into an invisible wall, nearly falling off a ledge because of a wall trap and being pinned to another wall by several {{wp|shuriken|throwing stars}}. Then, a girl, who identifies herself as a ninja warrior {{an|Aya}}, jumps from the ceiling. Though Ash and Misty criticize Aya's dangerous traps, Brock is smitten and compliments Aya's outfit. However, she slaps his hand away and pushes him to the ground before claiming that she will not let the group go until she and Ash have a {{pkmn|battle}}; he accepts the one-on-one match.

Aya sends out Venonat and Ash chooses {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Bulbasaur uses {{m|Tackle}}, but Venonat jumps on its head and launches a {{m|Stun Spore}} attack, which Bulbasaur blows away. It then replies with its {{m|Vine Whip}}, though Venonat evades it and scores a direct hit with its {{m|Psybeam}}. Bulbasaur then finishes it off with {{m|Leech Seed}} before its vines quickly entangle the {{pkmn|category|Insect Pokémon}} and drain it of its energy. Aya [[recall]]s Venonat, just as a Voltorb appears and uses {{m|Self-Destruct}}, filling the room with smoke. [[Koga]] appears, explains that they are at the [[Fuchsia Gym]], reveals that he is the [[Gym Leader]], introduces Aya as his younger sister, and announces that he will battle Ash and not let the group go until he does. Ash states his intentions of wanting to find the Gym and challenge Koga, and Koga shows him a {{badge|Soul}} that he can earn by defeating him. Ash sends in {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, and Koga responds by sending out his own Venonat, which promptly [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Venomoth}}. Koga orders Venomoth to use Stun Spore, and Ash orders Pidgeotto to use Whirlwind. This time, however, the Stun Spore paralyzes Pidgeotto. Venomoth then follows up with {{m|Sleep Powder}}, prompting Ash to recall Pidgeotto and send out {{AP|Charmander}}. Venomoth uses Stun Spore again, but Charmander blocks it with {{m|Flamethrower}}.

At that point, {{TRT}} arrives on the scene and performs a theatrical {{wp|kabuki}} rendition of their {{motto}}, sending out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} in the process. Ash, Aya, and Koga send in Charmander, Venonat, and Venomoth, respectively, to battle, but James throws a fistful of a sticky thread at them, immobilizing them. {{AP|Pikachu}} then steps up, only to meet the same fate from Jessie. Misty then tries to send out Starmie, but Psyduck breaks out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} instead. An infuriated Misty asks Ash what moves Psyduck knows; Ash consults the Pokédex, which lists {{m|Tail Whip}}. Misty tells Psyduck to use Tail Whip, but Psyduck wags its tail to no effect whatsoever. The Pokédex then lists Psyduck's second move as {{m|Scratch}}, which Psyduck does use on Arbok, but it doesn't work. Arbok begins biting Psyduck's head, worsening its headache.

Koga then pulls a cord, opening up several ceiling panels and unleashing a large amount of Voltorb on the trio. However, Team Rocket uses more of their sticky thread to reel in the entire pack of Voltorb. Brock then notices that the room is slanted, and Koga explains that it is a strategy to confuse any opponents. Team Rocket breaks through a wall, with the Voltorb stuffed in a loot bag. Meowth bowls a Voltorb towards Ash and his friends, and it explodes. Ash attempts to retaliate, though his Pokemon are still entangled in Team Rocket's sticky web. When Psyduck runs frantically through the scene, Meowth hits Psyduck out of the way, agitated by its chaotic behavior. At that moment, Psyduck uses a variety of {{t|Psychic}} powers to freeze Team Rocket, send them blasting off, and remove the sticky gunk from Venonat, Venomoth, Charmander, and Pikachu. Ash's Pokédex chimes in, identifying Psyduck's third and fourth attacks as {{m|Disable}} and {{m|Confusion}}, respectively. Koga and Aya both offer to trade for Psyduck, but Misty declines, saying she wouldn't trade Psyduck for the world.

Ash and Koga resume their battle outside in the courtyard. [[Koga's Golbat]] makes the first move, swooping on Ash's Charmander with a {{m|Wing Attack}}. Charmander keeps Golbat away with his {{m|Ember}} attack, though Koga responds with {{m|Screech}}. Despite the high frequency, Charmander launches a series of Flamethower attacks, burning Brock's face and Golbat's wing in the process. Charmander then wins the battle with an intense {{m|Fire Spin}}. Koga promptly gives Ash a Soul Badge in recognition of Charmander's battle skill alongside Psyduck's efforts for saving the Gym and his Voltorb from Team Rocket, and the trio goes on their way.

==Trivia==
[[File:Brock eyes open.png|220px|thumb|Brock's eyes open]]
* This is [[Maddie Blaustein]]'s first episode as {{MTR}}.
** However, the first one, chronologically speaking, is ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' due to it being initially skipped in the dub.
* {{an|Brock}}'s eyes open up after being hit by {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.
* This episode marks the first time {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} jumps out of {{an|Misty}}'s {{i|Poké Ball}} when she attempts to summon another Pokémon.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Psyduck Ducks Out]].
* This episode is featured on ''Volume 13: Psyduck'' from [[Viz Media]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon All-Stars|Region 1}} series.
* {{TRT}} performs {{wp|Kabuki}}, a type of Japanese dance-drama, when they enter Koga's Gym.
* Due to [[Koga]] later becoming a member of the [[Elite Four]] in the games, this is technically the first appearance of an Elite Four member in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** The first appearance of a current Elite Four member would not be until ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]'', 39 episodes later.
* The [[Gym]] is not located in [[Fuchsia City]] as it is in the {{pkmn|games}}. Fuchsia City itself would not appear until almost 400 episodes later in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
* This episode was banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}, likely because of references to Japanese culture.
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

===Errors===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Whirlwind.png|thumb|220px|Ash's Bulbasaur using Whirlwind]]
* {{Ash}} commands his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to use {{m|Whirlwind}}, though in the games, Bulbasaur [[Anime move errors|cannot legitimately know this move]].
** This was most likely a dubbing error, since Whirlwind is known as '''ふきとばし''' ''Blow Away'' in Japanese. Ash was most likely telling Bulbasaur to simply "blow it away" rather than the actual attack.
* Koga has his Venomoth attack [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] with {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} it and put it to sleep, respectively. However, no Pokémon can have more than one major [[status condition]] on it at the same time.
* Ash instructs his Pikachu to use "electric attack", which does not exist, while in the Japanese version he instructs it to use {{m|Thunder Shock|ThunderShock}}. This is most likely a translation error, as ThunderShock's Japanese name '''でんきショック''' means ''Electric Shock''.
* Even though Ash is stuck to the wall by the throwing stars, when the camera changes to show the side of Ash's face and sleeve, the stars are missing.
* The Pokédex classifies {{p|Venonat}} as the Bug Pokémon instead of the ''Insect'' Pokémon.
* In the shot right after Team Rocket performs their motto, Ash's gloves are completely black.
* When Ash and his friends enter the slanted trap room in the mansion, there are many errors. First, the wall design differs between shots as well as the wall design to Brock's right. Third, the back wall is sloped, but appears normal in the next.
* After Team Rocket blasts off, the room isn't slanted anymore.
* When Koga gives Ash his Soul Badge, it is perpendicular and rounder. However, when Koga unrolls it earlier, the badge was pointing away from the top.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, after obtaining the Soul Badge, Ash's English voice can be heard.
* The Pokédex lists Psyduck's attacks in the incorrect order and leaves out two, Fury Swipes and Hydro Pump.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 2
* In the original version, Brock questions if Koga's Venonat's evolution was it using "Kawarimi no Jutsu", a ninja art also known as "Body Replacement Technique" or "Substitution Jutsu" in the West. In the English dub, this was changed to "metamorphosis attack".

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu are lost deep in the mountains. As they press forward on a rough road not even shown on their map, they suddenly hear a large explosion. Running toward the sound in surprise, the party emerges on a construction site where tractors are building a tremendous dam. Ash learns that the foreman is trying to recruit skilled Pokémon trainers because earth Pokémon, Diglett, are interfering with construction and delaying the completion of his work. The foreman has been recruiting Pokémon trainers to get rid of the Diglett. He will award free passes for travel to a luxurious natural hot springs to anyone who can accomplish this. As Ash scopes out the recruits, he notices a familiar enemy in the mix, Gary.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} travel on a pathway through some mountains to get to the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. {{an|Brock}} comments that Fuchsia Gym should be right over the mountain, but he realizes that they are surrounded by many mountains. Elsewhere in the forest, {{TRT}} is having a picnic and getting ready to eat their lunch. An explosion is heard, concerning Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket. Team Rocket's food spills all over them, irritating them. Everyone runs to where the explosion came from, and they locate a truck-filled road.

A large rock falls from the wall, and holes in the ground causes a multi-truck pileup. {{AP|Pikachu}} hears Pokémon saying {{p|Diglett}} over and over from underneath the ground. {{MTR}} watches from above as a Diglett pops out of the ground. As Pikachu runs over to greet it, Diglett suddenly goes back underground. Ash and his friends rush to a hysteric [[foreman]]'s side, as he tells them to look at the Diglett in the distance. The Diglett are popping in and out of the ground. When {{an|Misty}} comments that they are very cute, the foreman yells at her and says they are preventing them from building a dam. Ash scans Diglett with his [[Pokédex]], which says that people can recognize their movement from the upturned earth. Ash then comments that he doesn't see any upturned earth. The foreman says that it is because the ground is covered with concrete, but if they look closely, they can see movement. The foreman says that they may not be able to achieve their dream of building the [[Gaiva Dam]].

The foreman explains that they came up with a special division of Pokémon Trainers to get rid of the Diglett. He is offering a reward of a six-night, seven-day-long stay at the Giva hot springs resort for anyone who can get rid of them. Ash volunteers, and the foreman thinks that they were the ones called in. Suddenly, {{Gary}} arrives with a fleet of Trainer-filled buses behind him. Gary notices Ash, and says that it must be a coincidence that he is there since only the best Trainers such as himself were invited, and ranks Ash last. Gary asks Ash if he has caught any good Pokémon, as Ash offers to show him, Gary notes that only amateur Pokémon Trainers show off their Pokémon. He instead offers to show off his personal fan club. Ash asks if they are Pokémon, as Brock hits him in the head and tells him to not be dumb. Brock asks who the girls are, and Gary explains that they are his friends. Brock asks the girls if they want to go out with him some time, and they all agree. As Brock asks the girls for their personal details, though the foreman begs for someone to go after the Diglett. Gary and his girls drive off to stop the Diglett. Brock doesn't get their phone numbers, while Ash says that he can't let Gary beat him. Team Rocket, hidden amongst the bushes, comment that they are Pokémon Trainers, and are motivated to join the Diglett pest control effort and would enjoy some rest and relaxation.

The foreman addresses the Pokémon Trainers. Ash comments that there are a lot of Trainers, and the foreman yells to him to listen and not talk. Ash didn't like that he didn't call him by name. He calls himself the loser of Pallet Town, and breaks down. Brock tells him not to get worked up about Gary, and that he can still catch up to him. Team Rocket watches on from a ledge, and notice the large number of trainers and realise that they could steal their Pokémon. Though with only {{TP|James|Koffing}} and {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, they would be outnumbered. Jessie discredits the idea of a sneak attack, they then settle on another plan, the principle of induced evolution.

The foreman shows a large pull-down sheet that has a no-Diglett picture on it. He calls Diglett a great parasitic {{t|Bug}} Pokémon, but Gary corrects him by saying that Diglett is called the Mole Pokémon. The foreman says that they may be small, but in large numbers, they can be very destructive. He sees the Diglett coming, as they take down a bus. Gary confidently steps forward, and with [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]]' support, he throws his {{i|Poké Ball}} to bring out a Pokémon to battle Diglett. The Pokémon refuses to come out of its Poké Ball and a Diglett brings the Poké Ball back to Gary. Gary thanks the Diglett, but realizes that it wasn't supposed to happen that way. Gary throws another Poké Ball which contains his strongest Pokémon, though it too refuses to leave.

In frustration, Gary throws all of his Poké Balls as the foreman begs for someone to get rid of the Diglett. Everyone else throws their Poké Balls, but the Diglett give them back to their Trainers. Misty comments that at least the Diglett are polite, as Brock adds that they are also unstoppable. Ash decides to use his {{AP|Squirtle}} to face the Diglett. Pikachu tries to stop Ash, but he had already thrown the Poké Ball. Squirtle also refuses to come out of its Poké Ball. Pikachu nods to inform Ash that the Pokémon didn't want to battle. The foreman tries to hit the Diglett with a mallet, but Gary says it won't work since the Diglett are really fast. Ash says that Gary must have really been studying, as Gary replies that he has, unlike Ash. Gary sees any effort as pointless and drives away in his car. Ash says that he doesn't like him. Brock never was able to get the girls' phone numbers.

That night, Ash and his friends enjoy a hot spring. Misty says that she can't understand why the Pokémon wouldn't come out of their Poké Balls. Ash asks Pikachu why that is, and Pikachu points to where the Diglett are. Ash and friends follow them. While they are following the Diglett, they pass by the foreman who keeps trying to hit the Diglett with a mallet. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is reading about how to evolve their Pokémon, and find out that Pokémon must have a lot of experience before they can evolve. They say that Pokémon change when they evolve, and that they've known both Koffing and Ekans for a long time. As Team Rocket hugs their Pokémon and cry, their tears spur their Pokémon to evolve. Meowth comments that their time to evolve is now.

Ash and his friends continue to follow the Diglett that are carrying small trees, they watch on as Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} help plant the trees on a mountainside. Ash scans Dugtrio with his Pokédex. Brock comments that it must be Diglett and Dugtrio's home. He explains that they play and work together on that mountain range, with Dugtrio plowing through the ground, and Diglett planting the trees. He also explains that the whole mountain range was built by them, and that maybe more gardens, forests, and mountain ranges across the world were also built by Diglett and Dugtrio. The foreman appears and reflects on the consequences of a completed dam including floods and Pokémon displacement. They realize that the Pokémon figured that out before they did, and that's why they wouldn't come out of their Poké Balls. Brock comments that they have a lot to learn about the ways of the Pokémon. The foreman decides that they will stop their work on the dam, as Diglett and Dugtrio continue their efforts.

Team Rocket shows up and does their motto as Meowth interrupts them by saying that they know the rest. Ash tells them that they are not in the mood to deal with them today. Jessie says that they are in a good enough mood to share with them a special treat. As they wear Japanese outfits, hold fans, and fireworks go off above, they begin to introduce their new Pokémon. Jessie introduces her new Pokémon, as her Ekans has evolved into {{p|Arbok}} and James' Koffing has evolved into {{p|Weezing}}. Music plays in the background, and fireworks go off, as Team Rocket prepares to attack. Ash calls on Squirtle, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} for assistance. Weezing attacks with {{m|Smog}}, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} but Arbok dodges the attack. Arbok digs underground, while Weezing follows it. Diglett and Dugtrio say their name a few times, with Team Rocket saying it once. Underground the Diglett and Dugtrio are beating up Arbok and Weezing, as they come out of the ground with bumps and are knocked out. Diglett and Dugtrio pop out of the ground, group together and form a tall mud wave. Team Rocket and their Pokémon ride on top of the Diglett and Dugtrio group and act as if they are surfing before it smashes and destroys the dam wall.

Ash and Misty comment that Team Rocket never do learn their lesson. The foreman states that he definitely has learned his lesson, to which Ash replies that their stay wasn't a waste after all. Brock points out that [[Fuchsia City]] is just over the mountains. Team Rocket comes out of the ground, as a sign falls on their head which reads that dam project is cancelled, much to their disappointment. The following day, Ash and his friends head off towards the Fuchsia Gym.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as first demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}. However, this is the only instance where the Pokémon refuses to exit its Poké Ball, as opposed to sending itself out whenever it feels like it.
* This episode is extremely similar to ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', in that a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Additionally, the heroes are offered resort stays by both people in exchange for helping exterminate the Pokémon. The main difference between the two episodes is that unlike [[Nastina]], the foreman in this episode realizes the error of his ways and willingly cancels the project.
* Team Rocket [[breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] once again, when they first reveal their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing are being shown "[[List of Pokémon by anime debut|for the first time on TV]]".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously, and in the same episode. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.
** Coincidentally, in both instances, one of the Pokémon involved belonged to Jessie.
* Jessie and James mention [[experience]] points in this episode.
* In the dub, when all of the Trainers are attempting to send out their Pokémon, one of the Trainers can be heard trying to send out a {{p|Porygon}}.
* In the dub, the Dam is referred to as the "Gaiva Dam", likely a play on the phrase "Give a damn".

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the hot spring, where Ash, Misty and Brock were bathing in, was emptied by the Diglett, the Pokémon are heard saying their Japanese name, Digda, instead of Diglett.
* The foreman says "Digletts," when "Diglett" is both singular and plural.
* ''Diglett'' was originally misspelled as ''Diglet'' in the Pokémon.com blurb, but this has since been corrected.
* During Team Rocket's picnic, James is tanner than usual.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 1 (Version 2)
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The {{wp|kanji}} for the hot spring advertisement is removed.
** Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also has the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', their first encounter, was still [[Banned episodes|banned]] by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star is replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders refer to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version instead of "Sir", as in the dub.
** In the dub, Brock makes the accusation that he is thought of as an old man.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 are rewritten. This results in Jessie randomly declaring her name in the dub.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When the group figures out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls, Misty refers to them as masters in the dub.
* In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish}} dub, when Meowth is calling someone on the phone, he asks if he can switch to a less embarrassing animated team.

==Blurb==

As our heroes make their way through the industrial town of Gringy City, Pikachu, perhaps weary from travel, is in a strange state; the electric sacks on his cheeks are continually twitching as though overcharged. At the town's Pokémon Center, Joy diagnoses Pikachu as being in the first stages of a Pokémon cold. She begins treatment immediately, but the town suddenly goes into a blackout. Assuming the problem to be in the power-generating station near the beach, Ash and friends go to investigate. There they discover the Pokémon, Magnemite and a pack of Grimer—Pokémon created from sludge. What exactly is going on?

==Plot==
Upon arriving at the polluted industrial town of [[Gringey City]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} notice that {{AP|Pikachu}} has become faint and sparks are coming out of his cheeks. They subsequently rush to the [[Pokémon Center]] as they are watched by a shadowy {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as {{MTR}}. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] begin to do the {{motto}}, though the stench forces them to stop. Meowth, who is inside his own contained device, gives them scuba suits to wear, and says he will stay there to pump oxygen and fresh air to them. He instructs them to dive into the water and swim through the pipes to the Pokémon Center, but they refuse. As a result, Meowth pushes a button that delivers Jessie and James an electric shock, and they reluctantly enter the sludge-filled sewer waters.

At the Center, Ash finds an uncharacteristically irritable [[Nurse Joy]], who dismisses Pikachu's condition as a cold. When Ash yells at her for not being very helpful, she explains that the sparks coming out of Pikachu's cheeks are an early symptom of a cold in {{t|Electric}} rodent Pokémon. She suggests that they leave Pikachu there for the night, and he will be fine in the morning.

At the same time, a large group of {{p|Grimer}} block the water flow into the {{wp|hydroelectric}} {{wp|power plant}}, causing the power to go out. This also stops the power supply to {{TRT}}'s scuba equipment and affects the Pokémon Center's intensive care unit, but Meowth manages to get Jessie and James back on the surface level. Ash, Misty, and Brock decide to head for the power plant to try to do something; Pikachu cries out as they leave. They receive directions from [[Officer Jenny]], and Pikachu comes out of the nearby bushes. Misty realizes that Pikachu was afraid that they wouldn't return for him later, so Ash decides to let him come along. Pikachu jumps into Ash's arms and receives a shock, the shadowy Pokémon watches from a nearby bush.

The group enters the power plant and notice that nobody is there to greet them. Misty locates a map and points out the direction to the central control room. Misty gets spooked as something flies behind her. Ash calls out Misty's cowardice, though soon after, she and Brock spot something behind Ash. He turns around though nobody is there. The shadowy figure, with a glowing blue eye, appears behind Pikachu. Fearing the worst, Ash looks it up on the [[Pokédex]] and the mysterious creature is revealed to be a {{p|Magnemite}}, the Magnet Pokémon. Ash decides to try to catch it, but Magnemite only seems interested in Pikachu, and begins to follow him. Ash yells at the Magnemite to cut it out, and the Magnemite backs off.

A nasty stench then enters the corridor. They turn around to see a grating fall off the ceiling, followed by several Grimer. Brock decides that it would be best not to say anything to insult their pride. Ash pretends to compliment their unique smell, but Misty says it stinks, and the leader of the Grimer, a {{p|Muk}}, rises from behind them. With a command from Muk, the Grimer attack, insulted by Misty's comment. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu run. As they round the corner, they bump into two plant workers. The Grimer approach, and they all start running for the control room. They all hide in the control room, and Brock bolsters the door shut. One of the workers explains that the Grimer are clogging the sea intake valve, preventing the power from coming back on. The Grimer throw themselves at the door and soon bust it open. Pikachu uses his {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack to knock out some of the Grimer, but it isn't enough. Suddenly, the Magnemite knock out the control room's ceiling grate, and several Magnemite and {{p|Magneton}} arrive. Their combined electric attack proves effective and they manage to also scare off the Grimer blocking the flow of water into the power plant, and the power is restored.

However, the Muk leader remains. Pikachu uses Thunder Shock, and Pikachu's obsessed Magnemite assists with a Thunder Shock of its own. The combined electric attacks knock the Muk unconscious, and Ash catches it in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. To his discontent, he realizes that the smell of the {{AP|Muk}} comes through the Poké Ball. Later, Pikachu seems to be a lot better, and one of the power plant workers explains that when an electric mouse builds up too much electricity, its body becomes magnetized and it seems as though it has a cold. Magnemite was in love with Pikachu because he was magnetized, but now that Pikachu is better, Magnemite is no longer interested.

Suddenly, a Gyarados submarine comes out of the water with a large magnet attached to it. Team Rocket intends to use the magnet to capture Pikachu, unaware that Pikachu is no longer magnetized. When they activate the magnet, Magnemite and Magneton from all over town become stuck onto it, and their combined weight causes the sub to sink. As Ash and the others prepare to leave Gringey City, they mention that the Grimer horde was a sign that the town needed to be cleaned up and suggest that if the residents clean up the air and water, they will restore the city to its former glory. Taking the advice to heart, Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny bid farewell to them.

Meanwhile, at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab, a Poké Ball arrives from Ash. As Professor Oak wonders what Ash caught this time, the Poké Ball opens up, and Professor Oak covers his nose in disgust as Muk appears.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese title is a reference to the sci-fi novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''. The names of two power plant workers, [[Dick and Philip]] are named after its author, {{wp|Philip K. Dick}}.
* When Magnemite is told by Ash to stop bothering Pikachu, it makes two sounds. The first is a couple of beeps. These beeps are commonly heard in ''{{wp|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}''. The second sound is a "whine" or "cry" like sound that would later be used as Magnemite's signature sound in {{g|Snap}}. Later on, when Magnemite is helping Pikachu attack Muk, it is making a high pitched screeching noise. This sound is also used in Pokémon Snap when the Magnemite evolve and when the {{player}} zooms in on a Magnemite, they don't want their picture taken.
* This episode reveals {{AP|Pikachu}} is afraid of being abandoned by {{Ash}}.
* The dangers of electrical overcharge for {{type|Electric}} Pokémon are first acknowledged and experienced here, the episode ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and its subsequent episodes expanded on the condition.
* This is the first episode in which a gender unknown Pokémon falls in love with a main character's Pokémon. This would later happen again in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''.
* For the first time, the English dub of an episode aired less than a year after the Japanese version was first broadcast.
* This marks the English dub debut of Team Rocket's Gyarados submarine due to ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' being initially skipped.

===Errors===
[[File:EP030 error.png|thumb|230px|The little Raticate and Fearow]]
* In one scene, around six minutes in, Pikachu's ears are noticeably bigger than their normal size.
* After the numerous Magnemite and Magneton clear the station of Grimer, Misty notices there is still a Muk left in the control room. Ash then says, "An adult Muk, and its child!" But, there is no Grimer in the room. Also, he refers to it as "an" adult Muk, even though it was the only Muk nearby and they had seen it only a few minutes beforehand. They refer to it as if it is a new arrival.
* Near the end of the episode, when Ash, Misty, and Brock are talking to Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, smaller-than-average {{p|Raticate}} and {{p|Fearow}} are seen.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, the Grimer are referred to as Muk while the group is blocking the door.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 5 (Version 2)
* Meowth's bit about how air-freshener was mixed with oxygen in their suit pumps was dub added.
* The text on Nurse Joy's bell (ご用の方は押してね！''Press the button for service!'') was removed from the dub.
* The scene where Meowth mentions that they have another chance to capture Pikachu was originally an untranslatable Japanese pun involving the word "fuku" having the meanings of "clothes" and "fortune", and nasu (to change into) and nassu (nurse) sounding similar to each other.
* Ash's stalker comment was originally referencing a skirt rather than a streaker.
* Ash's mention of Muk having a child was not in the Japanese version.
* When Pikachu attacks Grimer and later Muk in the Japanese version, Ash tells him to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. In the dub, he tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead.

==Blurb==

In the outskirts of Fuchsia City, our heroes come across Hitmonchan, a fighter-Pokémon. With little thought, Ash attempts to capture it, but he and Pikachu are badly defeated. Hitmonchan's master has abandoned his family, training day and night, aiming for victory at the P1 Grand Prix (the number one Pokémon Grand Prix). His daughter tells Ash and his friends of her desire to make her father remember his family. In the meantime, Ash's party enters the P1 Grand Prix, but with Team Rockets unwanted, not to mention, unofficial presence at the competition, the battle goes out of control.

==Plot==
A {{p|Hitmonchan}} runs along a road and suddenly stops by a tree to punch the air, while a girl watches the {{type|Fighting}} from behind. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are amazed, but believe Hitmonchan is a [[wild Pokémon]]. Ash tells {{AP|Pikachu}} that if he can defeat Hitmonchan, he will be a world champion {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. When Pikachu doubts it, Ash says that he will teach Pikachu his secret punch, prompting {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} to question when Ash became a boxing expert.

Ash challenges Hitmonchan, but Hitmonchan blocks Pikachu's efforts. Pikachu sends an improvised Rocket Punch into Hitmonchan's face, but it is unaffected. A man runs over, and tells Hitmonchan to not let his guard down, then tells him to knock Pikachu out, which it does. Suddenly, the girl runs out from behind the tree. She calls the man her father, and begs him to come home, and to give up trying to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. The man tells his daughter, {{OBP|Rebecca|EP029}}, that he won't quit until he becomes the [[P1 Grand Prix]] champion. He then informs everyone that he will be at his [[Gym]] and leaves. At the Fighting Spirit Gym, Rebecca informs Ash and his friends about her fathers ambitions and that he has since abandoned his family. After Rebecca's pleas, Brock volunteers his and Ash's assistance, saying their {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and {{AP|Primeape}} will defeat {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}} and his Hitmonchan.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} gets wind of the Grand Prix as well and decide to enter. [[James]] and {{MTR}} want to win for the all-you-can-eat buffet, but [[Jessie]] intends to go to the salon and embark on a shopping spree. However, James points out that only Fighting Pokémon can enter, but Jessie says that they will have to borrow one, pointing to a [[Giant|tall man]] and his {{p|Hitmonlee}}, which James identifies as the Kicking Fiend. As the P1 Grand Prix begins, Team Rocket have since stolen the man's Hitmonlee and clothes, keeping him tied and locked in a closet.

At the P1 Grand Prix, all the competitors are presented to the crowd. The first {{pkmn|battle}} is between a {{p|Machop}} and Ash's Primeape. Despite Ash's pleas, Primeape refuses to listen, until Machop launches a {{m|Seismic Toss}} and sends Primeape out of the ring. Ash rushes to save it, but misses. He then asks his Pokémon if it is okay. Primeape gives Ash a sad look, then shakes it off and jumps back into the ring. Now listening to Ash, Primeape is able to take control and defeat the Machop with {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Mega Kick}}.

The next match is Hitmonlee against Geodude. Brock waves to Rebecca, saying everything is under control. Suddenly, Rebecca tells him to look out, and Brock is hit in the head with his own Pokémon. He sends Geodude back into the ring, where it is kicked mercilessly. Anthony approaches, telling Brock that a real man knows when to admit defeat. Brock throws in the towel, and apologizes to Geodude for making it battle, and Team Rocket move onto the next round. Ash promises that he and Primeape will take care of the tournament from that point forward.

As more battles take place throughout the tournament, a Trainer and their {{p|Machoke}} who defeated a {{p|Poliwrath}}, Primeape, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee rise to the top of the ladder. The next main match is between Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. Jessie is ready for anything and to make sure they win. Hitmonchan steps on glue, a part of Meowth's scheme, and gets stuck. Anthony's Hitmonchan takes several Mega Kicks, and Rebecca attempts to stop the match. This forces Anthony to intervene, and he takes a hit and throws in the towel. Anthony says he is sorry he worried Rebecca and her mother. Misty says that the fighting brought a family back together. "Giant" then arrives to meet with Ash, though James' ill-timed appearance and response to Jessie causes them to realize it was Team Rocket in disguise. Jessie and James then try to recite their motto, although James, due to obvious strain from trying to carry Jessie, ends up collapsing beforehand.

Then, the highly anticipated final battle between Ash's Primeape versus the stolen Hitmonlee takes place. Primeape blocks multiple rapid kicks from Hitmonlee and manages to sneak through a few hits. Under the arena Meowth tries to pull off another cheating move, but Pikachu spots him and decides to get moving. He finds that Meowth has planted a bomb on the stage.

Meanwhile, back on the stage Hitmonlee jumps up, as per the plan, Meowth hits the button on the controls, but the bomb does not explode. Hitmonlee falls down, and Primeape grabs him. It uses its Seismic Toss and wins the match. Primeape has now become the new P1 Grand Prix Champion and proudly boasts its new championship belt. Ash says he is proud of Primeape. Anthony says it has a lot of natural talent, and offers to train it for Ash; he promises that he will make Primeape a true P1 Champion. Meanwhile, Meowth and the rest of Team Rocket are baffled as to why the bomb didn't explode. Pikachu then turns up and gives the bomb to Meowth, who thanks Pikachu for finding it. Just at that moment, however, the bomb activates, shocking Team Rocket before exploding, sending them blasting off yet again.

Ash leaves Primeape in Anthony's care for further training. His daughter says that she will also make sure he spends time at home. Primeape, now teary eyed, waves goodbye to Ash and his friends as they continue towards Ash's next [[Gym]] [[Badge]].

===Pokémon===

* {{p|Pikachu}} ({{OP|Ash|Pikachu}})
* {{p|Meowth}} ({{TRM}})
* {{p|Charmander}} ({{OP|Ash|Charmander}}; flashback)

* {{p|Machop}} (debut)

==Trivia==
* Despite it not being a {{type|Fighting}}, {{an|Brock}} was allowed to enter his {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} in the competition. In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], however, Geodude is considered a {{ct|Fighting}}.
* Anthony quotes the song {{wp|You Gotta Be}} by {{wp|Des'ree}} while commanding Hitmonchan in his fight against Hitmonlee.
* In the original version, {{Ash}} wanted to teach {{AP|Pikachu}} boxing and he says, "Ashita no Tame ni #1" (For the sake of tomorrow #1). This is clearly a reference to the 1970 boxing anime ''{{wp|Ashita No Joe}}''; "For the sake of tomorrow #1, 2..." are boxing lessons in the anime.
* All of the [[Generation I]] {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon appear in this episode, excluding {{p|Mankey}}, who had [[EP025|evolved previously]].

===Errors===
* In the English dub, the announcer mistakenly refers to a Machoke as Machop.
** This was fixed in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub.
* Meowth's trap for Primeape proved to be flawed.
** When Hitmonlee jumped on the turnbuckle, had the trap went off, he would've been shocked anyway.
** When Pikachu handed the device to Meowth, there was no way for James or Jessie to get shocked, as there was no current.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 4
* Ash's statement of Pikachu using an uppercut was actually supposed to be a right straight.
* A lot of paint edits were made in this episode.
** The sign outside the Gym, 闘魂ジム (Fighting Spirit Gym), was changed to "Fighting Spirit". A similar, yet reversed version happens in the interior of the Gym, where toukon (Fighting Spirit) is changed to "Fighting Spirit Gym".
** The "P-1 Grand Prix" text on the Banners are removed.
** Any and all banners saying 必勝 (Victory), ポケピタソ{{j|P}} (Pokédrink), がんばれ (Do Your Best!), ガンバレ(Do Your Best!), and ファイト (Fight!) are removed. However, a banner reading {{j|GOGO}}サワムラー (Go Go Hitmonlee) is left in the dub.
* Team Rocket's desire for what they should get after winning the Belt were different between the original and dubbed version. In the original, Team Rocket mentioned wanting hamburgers, {{wp|Japanese curry|curry}}, cake, ice cream, steak, spaghetti, and cola. In the dub, it was changed to honey-glazed ham, roast leg of lamb, strawberry jam, sirloin steaks, and chocolate cakes. On a related note, Jessie's original desire was to invite ''bishonen'' (pretty boys) over for ''{{wp|okonomiyaki}}'', whereas the dub just called them her close friends.
* Rebecca's mother was never mentioned in the Japanese version.
* The hints at Primeape seeing Ash afterwards (and the implications that Primeape being Anthony's Pokémon only being temporary) were dub added. In fact, the only character in both versions to even hint at Primeape and Ash seeing each other again was the [[narrator]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

At Brock's persistent request, our heroes stop by Caesar Street, a town of breeders famous for its Pokémon beauty salons. Brock makes a special request to visit a salon called Coron. The owner of the Beauty Salon, Coron, is a breeder who has received the most superior ranking in the Pokémon Breeder Contest for three years straight. Recently, a store called Salon Roquet has been introducing outrageous fashions, making wild profits and disrupting long-term shop-owners.

==Plot==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} find themselves on [[Scissor Street]], also referred to as {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeder}}'s Lane. Brock explains that it is well known for its high-end {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} salons and beauty parlors. Misty, with Ash in tow, pauses outside of one venue in particular to examine a poster featuring a {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Ekans}} adorned with a number of gaudy accessories. Inside Salon Roquet, {{TRT}} enacts their latest moneymaking scheme, a bustling beauty parlor. They give a woman's {{p|Raichu}} and {{p|Dodrio}} a color and fur makeover, much to the displeasure of both Pokémon. Debating whether or not to join the throng of apparently eager customers vying to get inside the Salon Roquet, she is interrupted by Brock who announces that he has found it. Ash and Misty follow him a short distance to a less crowded storefront, whereupon Brock is suddenly struck by a fit of apparent nervousness and freezes. Oblivious, Ash and Misty enter first and are greeted by a feminine voice that serves the added effect of snapping Brock back to reality.

Inside, they meet a Pokémon Breeder, who introduces herself as [[Suzie]], gently massaging a {{p|Chansey}}; however, Misty quickly shifts her attention to a {{p|Vulpix}} that is fast asleep on a chair. Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]] while Misty approaches the sleeping Pokémon. Misty, enthralled by the cute Vulpix, picks it up while offering numerous compliments. However, Vulpix, annoyed by the interruption of its nap, fires a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Misty's face before falling back asleep. Brock, who has been unusually silent up to this point, suddenly blurts out that he wants to become Suzie's pupil. Everyone is shocked, especially Suzie, who explains she does not have time for students due to her busy workload. After Ash asks, Brock explains that Suzie is a highly accomplished breeder, who has won the World Pokémon Breeder's Contest for three consecutive years, and who he idolizes.

Later, Suzie serves tea for the three while {{AP|Pikachu}} happily munches on some food. Suzie compliments Pikachu's shiny coat, and asks if Brock made his {{pkmn|food}}. Brock replies that he did, and Misty explains that it is Brock's own recipe. Suzie explains that she too got into Pokémon breeding because of her interest in Pokémon nutrition. During this exchange, Vulpix suddenly joins Pikachu in eating his food. This surprises Suzie, who explains that Vulpix usually does not eat anything she has not made herself. Misty then mentions all the flashily dressed Pokémon they saw outside. Suzie points out that ever since Salon Roquet opened up, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have been focusing on making their Pokémon look as flashy as possible. Ash says that looking flashy is dumb, but Misty counters that even Pokémon like to dress up once in a while. This leads to an argument between Ash and Misty about what is more important for a Pokémon and its Trainer. Ash jokingly suggests that, if fashion is so important to Misty, she should take her {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} over to Salon Roquet. Misty loves the idea and calls out Psyduck, much to Ash's amusement.

After Misty leaves, Suzie expresses doubt in her own methods, but Brock and Ash quickly reassure her. Brock suggests a way in which Suzie can compete with the growing popularity of salons like Salon Roquet. Soon after, Suzie explains that if a Pokémon has been injured in a battle, it should be given a therapeutic massage, which she demonstrates on Pikachu. As Brock had hoped, Suzie's lecture starts to draw the crowd away from Salon Roquet. As Suzie, Ash, and Brock demonstrate the importance of good communication between Pokémon and Trainer, Trainers arriving from Salon Roquet begin to doubt if they made the right choice.

Meanwhile, at Salon Roquet, [[Jessie]] orders {{MTR}} to send in the next customer, though they are shocked to see it is Misty, with her Psyduck. Team Rocket drag her in for a makeover of her own, her protests that Psyduck was the one who needed the makeover falling upon deaf ears. She loves the bright and flashy results, however, and asks the undercover Jessie and [[James]] to continue. Meowth then mentions Pikachu, tipping Misty off to his identity. Jessie and James begin attacking Meowth, who scratches them revealing their true identities. Misty screams that she will never tell Team Rocket anything, but James grabs her and threatens to paint her face like {{wp|Frankenstein}} if she does not. Thinking that over for a moment, she suddenly realizes that Psyduck has gone missing. In fact, Psyduck has run back to Suzie's salon, where it tells Pikachu that Misty is in trouble. Pikachu signals that Misty is in danger, and takes off with Brock, Ash, and Suzie behind him.

They make their way back to Salon Roquet, where they face off against Team Rocket, who has since tied Misty to a chair. They are startled to see what Team Rocket has done to Misty's face, but Team Rocket defends the bizarre makeover, claiming they are conducting important beauty research. This starts an argument between Suzie and Team Rocket about whether beauty is on the inside or the outside. Meowth, however, interrupts by revealing Team Rocket's fraudulent intentions. Team Rocket offers a trade: Misty for Pikachu. Ash refuses and challenges them to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Team Rocket, however, pushes a button on a microphone, which reveals their latest invention, the Salon Roquet Battling Platform.

Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, and James sends out {{TP|James|Koffing}}, both of which are still dressed in their ridiculous outfits. Ash sends out Pikachu, and Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}. Brock orders a {{m|Seismic Toss}}, and Geodude carries Ekans into the air and flings it down. However, Ekans turns the momentum of the throw into a spinning wheel strike and slams into Pikachu. Ash calls for a {{m|Thunder Shock}}, but the spinning of Koffing and Ekans makes their extravagant outfits deflect the lightning. James then orders {{m|Sludge}}, blinding both Pikachu and Geodude. But as Team Rocket's Pokémon are sent in to finish them off, Ekans and Koffing end up tripping over their outfits, halting the attack. Meowth tries to help the tangled Pokémon, but Vulpix cuts in. Suzie makes her stand and calls out that on if the focus is on outer beauty, a Pokémon's inner strength will be lost. Vulpix's powerful {{m|Fire Spin}} drives the message home, and sends Team Rocket blasting off. Misty, who was charred by the Fire Spin, yells at Psyduck to untie her.

Brock takes the opportunity to explain to the crowd that Vulpix is a prime example that a cute exterior hides inner strength. The crowd, taking the words to heart, begin to remove all the flashy items from their Pokémon and wipe off the applied makeup. Back at her salon, Suzie thanks Ash and {{ashfr}} for helping her regain confidence in her beliefs. She plans to leave the salon for a while and go on a journey to learn what it truly means to be a Pokémon breeder, and proclaims she is still a student and now Brock's rival. Suzie says that Brock is the first person other than herself that Vulpix has shown affection to, and asks that Brock take care of {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} for her while she is on her journey. Brock gratefully accepts, and obtains the small {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Meanwhile, Ash looks at Misty's made-up face again and cracks up laughing, angering her.

Soon enough, Ash, Misty and Brock are on their way once again and wave goodbye to Suzie. Behind them, Team Rocket runs past, pursued by a crowd of their angry former customers.

==Trivia==
* [[Meowth's Song]] replaced [[One Hundred Fifty-One]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* The outfits [[Jessie]] and [[James]] wear in this episode resemble those of [[Oscar and Andi]], which is a reference to the two main characters from the manga series ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}''.
* This episode marks the first time a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Pokémon Fashion Flash motto|variation}} of Team Rocket's motto is used.
* According to the third book of the "Kids Pocket Books Pocket Monsters" series, the Chansey's Trainer in this episode is homosexual.
* There is a parallel between this episode and the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in [[Sinnoh]], as Team Rocket's Ekans and Koffing dress up, analogous to the Visual portion of the Super Contests, and perform, analogous to the Dance portion, before attacking, analogous to the Acting portion.
* When {{an|Brock}} obtains {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, he captures it by simply taking out a {{i|Poké Ball}} and opening it, thus drawing Vulpix inside without making contact. To date, this is the only Pokémon catch without direct physical contact between Poké Ball and Pokémon that has occurred.
* This is the first episode where [[Brock's Geodude]] is seen using a move.
* When it first aired in Japan, this episode was followed by [[Pocket Monsters, Fall Special!]], a 90-minute [[clip show]] summing up from [[EP001]] to [[EP027]].
* The style in which Jessie and James dress {{an|Misty}} in is the popular fashion in Japan, "Shinorer fashion", started by {{wp|Tomoe Shinohara}}.

===Errors===
* When Misty yells for Psyduck and lifts her head, her neck overlaps James's arm.
* When Brock introduces Vulpix, it has seven tails.
* During Suzie's lecture, the Rattata has a completely purple face.
* When Geodude uses Seismic Toss on Ekans, causing Ekans to roll towards Pikachu, Pikachu's back stripes are missing.
* When Vulpix is seen from behind before battling Team Rocket, its hind left leg overlaps its tail and attaches to its hind right leg.
* The blurb mistakenly refers to Scissor Street as ''Caesar Street'' and Suzie as ''Coron''.
* When Ekans and Koffing spin to deflect Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Ekans's Japanese voice is heard.
* Near the very end when Ash is laughing at Misty's face, her shirt is red (instead of the normal pale yellow).

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 3
* A total of twenty-two scenes were digitally edited in the dub to remove Japanese characters.
* Jessie and James's code names were removed from the dub.
* Misty does not ask for permission to touch Vulpix in the dub.
* The details of two of Suzie's accomplishments differ between the Japanese original and the English dub. In the original, it is mentioned that she was nominated as Trainer of the Year, and that she ranked number one in Pokémon breeding for four years in a row. The English dub calls her the most popular Pokémon Breeder for four years straight, and states that she has a hugely popular website with upwards of 10,000 hits per day.
* One of Misty's responses to Ash regarding her Psyduck differs between the Japanese original and the English dub. In the original, Misty says that she is the cute one. In the English dub she questions what Ash knows about fashion.
