Talk:List of original series episodes

How come the original series episode list is "tweaked"? Pallet Party Panic should be Episode 83 but is listed as 81. Snow Way Out and Holiday Hi-Jynx are counted as episodes.

I dunno. It'd really mess up all the numbering we have right now... I really personally wonder why HHJ and SWO aren't counted... they were in the original schedule, they just didn't air them when Pokémon came back because they were meant to be aired as some sort of Christmas special, and that's kinda dumb to do in the middle of April.

I always thought they were only considered specials and not episodes. I seem to remember years ago several sites not counting them as episodes. And you're right, it would really mess up everything if we moved all of them. --PAK Man ^Talk 19:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

This is discussed in the manual of style. The original reason was so that the numbering lines up with Pokeani, however, things have gotten a little complicated since AG101. - 振霖_T 02:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I really don't think that is a good reason because the fact is that they are still regular episodes and should be noted that way. If they weren't real episodes then why would they be on the boxsets?

----HoennMaster 05:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

The numbering is based on Japanese broadcasting, so whether or not they are included in American boxsets has no bearing on it. - 振霖_T 09:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Can we include a translation of the Japanese titles?

I find it silly that we have the English title, the kanji for the Japanese title, but no translation of the Japanese. Is there a way to include both the Kanji and translation of the Japanese episode titles? I would be appreciative and be willing to help if there is someway to get them done quickly (like a team effort or some sort of code). Thanks for any answers.

Ditto for this, see my answer at the AG episode list talk page. UltimateSephiroth ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 17:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

A note on season boundries

While title changes usually happen at the start of a season, the start of new regions took more importance for the decision of when the change happens. (Thus, the uneven lengths of the Johto sections.) I don't know where the split between season 1 and season 2 lies but I do know the rest from how the Johto episodes are batched:

• Season 3: The Pokémon Water War -> The Fortune Hunters (The end of Orange + Johto Journeys)
• Season 4: A Goldenrod Opportunity -> Machoke, Machoke Man (Johto League Champions)
• Season 5: Around the Whirlpool -> You're a Star, Larvitar! (Most of Master Quest)
• Season 6: Address Unown -> Watt's with Wattson (The end of Master Quest + Advance)

So keep that in mind with the new template. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 00:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

The boundary between seasons 1 and 2 is a tricky case. EP052 and EP053 are the first two episodes of season 2, but the four episodes afterward are the last four episodes of season 1. This is due to dub reordering, probably so Todd's original three-episode arc wasn't split between seasons. As a result, the dub season 1's final five episodes are 51-54-55-56-57 and season 2's first three episodes are 52-53-58.

Keep in mind that the two episodes the dub reordered to the start of season 2 (52 and 53) were reordered into their place in the Japanese order in the aftermath of the EP038 incident. --Shiningpikablu252 00:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Screenshot

Hey, I uploaded file:EP039.png So it will appear on this list but it's not showing up. Is there somethine else I have to do for it to show here? - Flex S 11:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Umm, I can see it, it's there. Maybe you need to refresh the page.. ◄Kevzo8► 11:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Refresh the page.--FF(edits•talk) 11:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Ahh, It's there now. I will work on uploading all original screenshots, for this article and others. If that is OK. - Flex S 11:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

GREAT! Check my User page for a list of episode headers that needs to be uploaded!.--FF(edits•talk) 11:52, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It may just be my computer,

But why aren't some of the Images showing up, And I'm not dumb, Like EP029 (The Punchy Pokémon), It shows the episode name, but not the image. AND ITS BEEN UPLOADED, plus, it seems fine on Opera but not on Firfox, the rest are there however.--FF(edits•talk) 11:46, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks fine to me. The image are captioned as its name, so that when you hover the pointer on the image, the title will be shown. If the image fail load, it would just show the dub name. Sometimes it really happens. ◄Kevzo8► 11:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh alright, I just have a fierce rivalry with my computer. thanks for clearing that up.--FF(edits•talk) 11:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I think I have the same thing, sometimes "Electric Shock Showdown" shows the name instead of the picture. - Flex S 12:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
