DP033/EP500 title revealed
- Thread starter Argy
- Start date
In Serebii's case, yes. Pokeani, however, leaves out the Barboach episode but counts Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!! as two episodes instead of one.
Actually, Pokeani has two running total counts, 通算話数a which counts the two winter specials and the clip show, and 通算話数b. In the case of the Bulbapedia count and 通算話数b DP035 is the 500th episode.
Nasty business, this episode numbering.

*reads the title*
Woah! Pokemon Transformation!?
Did I read that right? O_O
Yay! I sure hope this is the type of transformation that I'm expecting, for I would love to see Ashachu again in the anime!
Yes, yes, YES! :-D
*gets down on her knees and prays*
Please writers, allow Ashachu to return.
Anyway though, I was hoping that Japanese word in the title would refer to the type of transformation found in "Hocus Pokemon". But it appears that's not the case. Oh well. ^^o
Hmm, maybe if there's still a schance that in this episode, Ash turns into a Pikachu again (yeah I know, highly unlikely), then I wonder if he would be transformed in a different way? Accidentally perhaps, or willingly? XD
The title, Pokemon Transformation Convention, seems to suggest that maybe more than one person gets transformed (that is, if this is actually an episode about anyone getting turned into a Pokemon). Or maybe the Transformation Conention refers to Ash telling a character-of-the-day about his experience as a Pikachu (but he may or may not become a Pikachu again). I'd be VERY interested in an episode with that storyline as well. ^______^
Then again, it's very likely that this could be an episode about the characters, Ash, Brock, and Dawn, dressing up in Pokemon cosplay outfits. If that's the case, then I predict that Ash will dress up as a Pikachu, lol. XD
Of course, if this turns out to be a Pokemon cosplay episode, I will be slightly dissappointed considering the word "transformation" was used in the title and everything.
Yeah, I'm kinda obsessed with transformations. Can you tell? XD
Anyway, I can't wait until we find out more about this episode! I'm completely in suspense here!
Also, you can bet that if this really is an Ashachu episode, I'm going to go nuts over it. XD

Not really. Emphasising words by spelling them in katakana is done all the time for no real reason. In this case, the first part of the title is pretty much just "It's LOOVE!! <3<3<3" or something like that.
And yes, "transformation" here is about cosplaying. There won't be any actual, magical transformations into pokemon like back in Johto.

Yeah, I guess not......
I pretty much figured that out already by everyone else's posts.
But thanks anyway, Adamant. ^_^
*sighs*
I'm way too obsessed with that Johto episode and it shows. XD
But I still wish the writers hadn't got my hopes up, by putting "transformation" in the title. Darn, I was so close. ^^o
Anyway, I find it funny how the Japanese would refer to cosplaying as a type of "transformation". You'd think they'd just use the term cosplay, or whatever the Japanese word is for cosplay. LOL. XD
And by the way, I'd like to see Nicolai reappear as well. That would be really cool!!
I mean, afterall, he does like to dress up as different Pokemon, so seeing him appear in an episode like this would be great and it would go along with the episode well.

Let's count the US official numbering (yeah, PRaDC are TWO episodes). DP5 is 468, so DP37 would be 500th ep in US/whole civilised world (ignore BatB). So add this and Ice Cave - we have DP35. (so 33 if we add Porygon and Barboach, or Porygon and Clip Show... if we count all 3 then we get DP32 xD)
Ew.
Well, they used "narikiri", which is different from "henshin", the more common anime term for that type of transformation. Narikiri is more like roleplaying, really, and the pokemon move called "Role Play" in english is indeed called "narikiri" in the japanese original.
The word "cosplay" does originate from japanese, yeah. As for why they didn't use it, uh.. Narikiri involves playing a role, while cosplay is usually just dressing up, I guess. The type of role playing done via message board RPGs is also called narikiri, so costumes aren't nessecary either... do we know for a fact there will be costumes in this episode, or was it just assumed?

Maybe Bill finally figures out how to get out of a Kabuto costume?
Yes, by my numbering (which is the one used on PM atm), it was 500, though feel free to number as you please. I have modified it a bit now, making it 501, to count Deoxys as 2 episodes as I had intended in the first place, heck, the database had it as Deoxys Part 1, with no entry for part 2.... To summarize the ep numbering:
IL 18, 35, and 38 (Holiday at Aopulco, Legend of Miniryu, Electric Soldier Porygon), the first having aired in the US in an edited form and later on skipped, the second banned in all countries other than Japan, the third, banned in all countries after its official airing, are counted.
The winter specials, IL 65 and 66 (Rougela's Christmas, Bivouac by Iwaku) aired normally in the US, and other countries, are counted at the mentioned numbers.
MQ 41 (Ice Cave), skipped in all countries other than Japan, is counted.
AG 101 (The Battle of the Shaking Island! Dojoach VS Namazun!!), skipped in both the US and Japan but with an existing preview, is counted.
AG 121, the clip ep, is still counted as a JP Spec rather than a full episode, though I have been considering changing this...
AG 171 (Deoxys Crisis) was counted as one episode, though I don't know why, as I always count double eps, especially ones that have been later aired separately as 2 episodes. This is now fixed, though it may change the numbering once again... Meh... It does however only have one title screen.
Those are, as far as I can think of, the main points of contention, among the episode list followed by the database.

"Banned" isn't really the right word for the Miniryu, Aopulco and Ice Cave episodes - they were simply skipped by 4Kids, and since 4Kids are the company that distributes the series to every other country, the foreign dubbers never even got a choice whether they wanted these episodes or not (and they probably didn't even know of their existance anyway). The Shaking Island episode is more banned than these, given that it was never even offered to 4Kids in the first place, nor has it ever been aired anywhere.
Cosplaying?
Could it be? The cast of Pokemon Battle Revolution?
MARIN<3<3<3<3
If they put Marin in this episode, they would WIN a million times over.
Not that they will, but we can always hope...
(After all, Marin is a cosplayer...and she's love<3!)
I doubt we'll see Nicolai or Harley, though.
Someone at SPPf mentioned Duplica, but I doubt that she'll appear either.
