Pokemon (1998)

5 corrected entries in season 1

(5 votes)

Snow Way Out - S1-E64

Corrected entry: Ash suddenly has a Charmander, but his original Charmander evolved all the way to Charizard a long time ago, and we never see him get another Charmander. He couldn't have gotten another one, as we see each and every single pokemon that he catches within the show. Even in the Japanese-only episodes, he catches a bunch of Tauros, which Oak mentions when he returns to the lab.

Correction: That was a banned episode, which was before Charmander evolved. Http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Snow_Way_Out.

Pokemon, I Choose You! - S1-E1

Corrected entry: Misty manages to pull Ash and Pikachu out of the water with a fishing rod. I know there's some suspension of belief required, but that's just a little too unbelievable. She's never known to be particularly strong, so pulling out something weighing roughly 120% of her own body weight so easily, causing them to literally fly through the air, is just crazy.

Knever

Correction: It's a visual gag in an action/comedy children's cartoon. It's no more a mistake than is the old bug-eyes gag in the classic Tex Avery cartoons.

Phixius

Round One: Begin! - S1-E75

Corrected entry: Krabby evolves into Kingler during the match, and is somehow able to use Hyper Beam. Krabby can't learn Hyper Beam, and Kingler can only learn it via a Technical Machine.

Correction: Differences between games and anime were fully intentional and they're not mistakes at all.

Correction: The episode aired out of order due to controversy caused by an earlier episode. Not a mistake due to the Pokemon being correct in the order it is supposed to be in. On DVD releases, the episode is placed correctly.

Correction: Poison type is effective against Grass type.

Show generally

Other mistake: During the Pokérap, when the Poliwrath name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Poliwag. Also, when the Graveler name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Geodude.

Trivia: During the Pokérap that appears after some episodes, nearly all of the Pokémon shown are the actual creatures, but Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Rhydon, Zapdos, and Kabutops that are shown are machines from Pokémon Island. Also, when Kabuto is shown, it isn't actually a Kabuto but Bill in Kabuto's costume.

Show generally

Question: This is a question for the XYZ series. I can't figure out if Alain is a good guy or a bad guy. He acts like he is good but I am not so sure if he really is. Can anyone tell me if he is good or bad?

Answer: He is a good guy but just found himself in a bad situation when he worked for Lysander. He didn't want him to harm Ash and his Pokémon when he was trying to get the special bond between Ash and his Greninja to work. He does leave Lysander and go back to being a good person.
