View Full Version : Chances of Unaired episodes to air
I'm not talking about the ban episodes, since i think the chances of those are slim. But i'm talking about the specials like slowkings day and i think there are pikachu specials and another christmas one and the one with gold/silver trainers.
What are the chances of being aired in the us? Not aired, at least released on DVD or something?

If we're lucky, they might be extras on future Pokemon DVDs.

I hope they come out on DVD or on a T.V special because I would wanna see Episodes where Ash, Brock, May, Max, etc are the main characters. For example: In special episode 16, Pokemon Researcher Gary & The Revived Aerodactyl, Ash isn't in it. It's Professor Oak, Tracey and Gary. The reason I say this is because I really don't wanna see Ash and Co. (company) EVERY single episode.
P.S: Sorry this turned into a paragraph of a post :sweat: :oops:

i thought of this recently also. i think the chances are none. they would be nice to see but the show follows Ash and i don't think the WB wants to go from that.

Knowing the endless stupidity of 4Kids, they won't be aried. If they haven't been aired yet, they probably won't be. I wouldn't watch them as is since the Japanese version is so much better it's not even funny, even if you can't understand the language.

I think We'll get Housou on 2 DVDs (One Containing 8 episodes, another containing 9). I assume that they may show The Slowking special on KWB later. The Pikachu X-mas specials may air during X-Mas time (I'm lazy, sorry). Maybe we'll get the GSC trainer episode with Slowking's Day on KWB.
And there's also Toonami for the banned episodes. Its for teens now, and they can just edit the blue and red flashes out and show it on KWB.

No! Electric Soldier Porygon will NEVER be aired again. Period. It will not be allowed, and IMO, it shouldn't.

I hear the Porygon episode was bad in many ways ^_^; So no, I don't think it'll be aired. The Dragonair episode might, though :)
I wanna see those special mini'episodes too! There are the ones that show Misty is not free after she runs an errand n' stuff and I bet they'll help move the story along. but I' m SICK of Ash >_>; He's more then just annoying. Why can't they change trainers ever season? @_@; Then I' d nver have to watch his idiotic "I caught a Pokemon" pose again -_-; But then again, I' ve only seen re-runs of Kanto lately.

Seeing unaired episodes would be great, really. One thing that bothers me is that Kamon wasnt included in the Legend of Raikou episode along with Hiro and Dani. Since he hates Team Rocket, he'd probably have helped them save Raikou or something.
As for Banned episodes... You can download them, pretty much. Also, I think showing the Porygon episode would be a good idea, as long as they have a strict warning at the beginning about possible seizures.

I dont think they should air that one! 300 kids in Japan got seizues from it! Im glad it didnt show in Canada and the USA, Even if they did have a warning it wouldn't stop alot of kids from watching it!

The Proygon episode simply sounds awful. I haven't heard much about it except it was banned for a good reason o_o;
The Legend of Raikou is supposed to be really good. It's always nice to see the characters from your game in the anime and for a while I thought the gold/silver/crystal character had no meaning. I saw clips, though, and the voices are great (Plus there's a Missdreavus).

As much as I agree with you (I've actually seen the episode and suffered no ill effects); it's not going to happen. The Japanese company that owns the rights to Pokémon would never sell the episode to anyone...they've never even shown it a second time themselves, not to mention the fact that Warner Bros. wouldn't want to even touch something so controversial. Also, the voice actress who does Misty's voice (and others) have already said that they would never agree to dub the epsiode. -_-

Oh... I want to see how a dub of the episode would turn out

voice Acting -happy mood- That's my future ^_^
Any ways it sounds like the episode turned out horribly. Still don't understand it but whatever x_X;
What's the story on the CD dramas I've heard so much about, by the way? I love listening to Manga CD drama clips xD

Do you ever think, like people above mentioned, that they could release them on a DVD, with a disclaimer? I mean, it's not that big of a deal. That way, people would know what they are getting, unlike people just stumbling in on to it on TV.

Why dont they just edit out the seizure giving thingie? Or start from scratch and make an episode with a similar plot for Hoenn?

HIGHLY unlikely Rust....
Why go out of their way for something like that? They probaly won't. The way I see it...

First of all, the voice actor that does the voice of Misty is paranoid about the episode, and has expressed that she'd never agree to work on the episode. Period. Besides, like Paperfairy said, it wouldn't make sense to redo the episode from a corporate standpoint. Most people don't even know the title of the "seizure episode" as it is often referred to, so it's not like there's a huge demand to have it redone...not that such a force would make a difference anyway.
For those of you who want to see the ep...well, sorry it's just not possible. The episode was never put onto a VHS or DVD, the best you can do is find a site that has an episode summary with pics (they're out there), and you may be able to find a movie clip of the imfamous scene. (BTW: I don't at all advocate watching the infamous scene because of the obvious risk involved).

I've seen a fansub of the episode and I'm just fine.

I saw a clip of the 'seizure scene', and was fine, but I don't want people to think that because of that, it's not dangerous to see, because it is dangerous.
BTW, for those of you who want to know more about Electric Soldier Porygon, Serebii's got screenshots (*cough*thathestolefromnintendoandwon'tletyousaveo ntoyourcomputer*cough*): http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures//indigo/038.shtml
Should I make a thread just on this ep, giving all the existing info? I did it on the old forums, but it seems that there's much interest in them once more...

Even though I hate to admit it, the chances of the special episodes coming to America is very low, :cry: but if it does come to America :biggrin: , a good place for it would be the FoxBox, because they already have 2 other Nintendo shows that I know about (Kirby and F-Zero) so it would fit right in. And for the banned episodes, and don't see why they can't just release a DVD w/ those 4 episodes and for the Porygon 1, just edit the scene and include a warning, they would make alot of money that way. And the Legend of Raikou, it wasn't a Housou episode, it was more like Mewtwo Returns (about an hour) so they could release that on DVD and as a bonus feature include Slowking's Day. (it's just 3 or 4 minutes.) There's my 2 cents. :biggrin:
