What is Pokemon?

 

I know some of you non-Otukus are asking. The show is mainly about 10 year-old boy named Ash and his pet Pokemon called Pikachu. Ash's quest is become a Pokemon master. The story is, in Ash's world these Animals called Pokemon are part of the species in the world Ash calls home. When a kid becomes Pokemon training license and go on quest to become Pokemon master. On this quest, the person tries to capture more Pokemons. Can you capture them all? See if you can when the game comes out on September 28, 1998. Now for the history of the show;The show began in Japan sometime in 1995 and was a hit in Japan, and unfortunatly ended when a visual effect on the show which was an episode that included a Polygon (The episode will sometime appear in the US.) caused some illness in some people who watched the show during December of 1997. Today some Japanese chanels still have some reruns of the show except for that episode. Then on September 7, 1998, Pokemon became an official date to be shown in the US. PIKA-PIKA POWER!

News

Yes! On September 29, 1998 I got the Red version of Pokemon. I also defeated the Elite Four and Gary and now I am collecting uncollected Pokemon. Right now as of 10/25/98 I own 98 Pokemon and have a level 100 Pikachu. Think you can beat those two goals, e-mail me at mark_one@hotmail.com.

Since the dialer system has been having problems trying to get a new dialer to work but I failed to do so. So we're back in business and I am trying now to update the site as fast as I can.

AHHHHHHHH! As of 11/2/98 WBFS (The station the shows Pokemon in South Florida.) is now going back to episode one. Make sure if this has happened in your city and you want to stop it get your voices heard and say to your station and the people that buy those U.S. shows and suggest to them to buy more episodes. We cannot get enough of the show.

From What I have been hearing from Giant Penguin that they are coming up with a Pokemon special in November and sometime later after these stupid reruns, there are going to run new episodes until sometime in January. (Pretty screwy. Isn't it?)

Say! I got an idea. Since Pokemon Satadium is comin soon, I say we e-mail Nintendo and have real Pokemon leagues. Huh? How about that people? Please e-mail your opinions about it. If anyone really likes these ideas I'll e-mail this petition to Nintendo and maybe we can get a cyber-league going. (Think. You're parents want you to get into an orginized sport. Here's a cyber-sport for you and maybe you can make friends. Remember Pokemon trading creates friendship.) So e-mail me at mark_one@hotmail.com. Keep the mail coming I like to hear from people that are Pokemon trainers like me.

Neat idea KFC did, Pokemon beanbags. Suprised me though that they didn't include Pikachu. I caught all 4 though.

Nintendo Power's new calender this year, you guessed it! Pokemon Calender! Different From later years were they give you tear out the calender from the magazine. This year the calender is a fold out with a one page 12 month calender. Big though.

YES! WDZL (The WB channel for South Florida.) has the new episodes of Pokemon. YES!

New games coming real soon: "Pokemon Snap" and "Pokemon Stadium" for the Nintendp 64. Delays are expected on Pokemon Yellow because it is not compatible to Gameboy Color.

My mom got Pokemon Pinball for her new color gameboy. I like to play it a lot when she was in San Deigo. Got #1 on the red table a couple of times. I love the rumble pack. I give 5 stars for this game.

I heard some rumors, and great news about Pokemon. The WB kids network will air Pokemon 6 times a week. (YES!) Some bad news though, I heard Brock is leaving the show to persue his dream. He will be replaced by a trainer that is learning like Ash. (If you seen the new Japanese Pokemon intro, you'll see the guy. Kind of reminds me of a sushi chief.) Pideotto will evolve to Pidgeot and Ash will let it go.


I finally have those real hard to find Pokemon cards. I have starter deck, and the zap deck. If you have deck tips, deck strategies, decks you made that you want to share with the public. e-mail me at
mark_one@hotmail.com.

Saw the Pokemon movie. It was great.

Episode Summeries

Note to all Nintendo Power subscribers. The episodes are kind of the same if you get those Pokemon comics in your Nintendo Power subscription.

 

Episode 1: I Choose You!

First episode, introduces Ash, Pikachu, Profesor Oak, Gary, Ash's mom, and the rest of those Pokemon. Pikachu gets hurt and Ash looks for help in Viridian City.

Episode 2: Pokemon Showdown

Ash gets to Viridian City, Ash gets help for Pikachu, Team Rocket shows up, Misty is introduced more as a companion for Ash after he accidently trashes her bike after he took it from her in episode one. Pikachu defeats Team Rocket with the help of other Pikachus. It ends with Ash trying to capture a Cterpie in Viridian forest.

 

Episode 3: Ash Catches a Pokémon

Ash catches Caterpie and teases Misty with it. Misty admits to hating 3 things: carrots, bell peppers, and bugs. Caterpie seems to like Misty and is hurt by her revulsion. Later that night, Caterpie and Pikachu "talk." (I think Caterpie misses his mommy) This morning Misty is shocked to find Caterpie sleeping next to her. Ash finds a Pidgeotto, a Pidgey at its second stage of evolution. It chases Caterpie until Ash puts him in his Pokéball, sending in Pikachu to catch the bird. Jesse, James and Meowth of Team Rocket soon reappear, demanding that Ash give them Pikachu. When he refuses, they release Koffing and Ekans. Koffing blinds Pikachu with a tar attack, and Ash defends with Pidgeotto. The bird puts up a good fight, but is ultimately defeated. Ash has no choice but to use the weakened Caterpie. Caterpie uses his string attack to encase Ekans's head and Koffing, then kicks the blob into the snakes head. He then mummifies Meowth and Team Rocket makes a hasty retreat. Just when Ash convinces Misty to give Caterpie a pat on the head for a job well done, the bug suddenly covers himself with string and becomes a Metapod. Ash's Pokédex states that this evolution happened quicker than normal for this creature. Misty wants to leave Viridian Forest, but Ash wants to stay and collect more Pokémon.

Episode 4: Challenge of the Samuri

We find that Ash has captured the Centerpie and a Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest. Centerpie evolves to a Metapod, Ash tries to catch a Weedle when Misty walks away scared of all the bug Pokemon when a Samuri ambushes her. The Samuri challenges Ash to a Pokemon match when he learns Ash is from Pallet Town. Ash loses round one with his Pidgeotto against the Samuri's Pincer Pokemon. Then Ash wins round two with a Metapod, and the Samuri counterattacks with his Metapod. Which ends in a draw. Beedrills then come after the three after the Weedle Ash was trying to catch, Metapod is captured, and the four then go into the Samuri's cabin, and stay there for the rest of the day. Team Rocket ambushes Ash when Ash tries to rescues Metapod and Metapod evolves into Butterfree and uses the Sleeping Powder against Team Rocket. Team Rocket gets captured by the Bedrills, and Ash, Misty, and Pikachu are on their way to Pewter City.

 

Episode 5: Showdown in Pewter City

Team Rocket sets a trap for Ash, but fall in it when they can't find it. Ash, Pikachu, and Misty arrive at Pewter City where they meet Flint, a man who sells souvineer rocks (Pewter is famous for it's rock). Flint charges them two dollars for sitting on his merchandise and takes them to the Pokécenter. At the center, Ash learns of the Pokémon League's National Championship Tournament. To enter, Ash must win badges from Pokémon Gym leaders. Misty offers to help, but Ash declines and challenges Brock, the squinty-eyed Pewter City gym leader. Brock tells Ash the rules for Tournament qualification matches and the battle begins. Ash sends in Pikachu and Brock chooses Onix, a huge stone serpent. Onix binds Pikachu, whose thundershock blast is nearly useless, and Ash surrenders to keep the electric rodent from being crushed. After leaving the gym, Ash meets Flint again who shows him why Brock hasn't left for the Championship Tourney himself: he's too busy taking care of his dozen of so brothers and sisters. His father left to become a Pokémon Trainer and his mother died later. Ash feels so sorry for Brock, he almost didn't want a rematch. Flint then shows him how he can power-up Pikachu. Flint takes Ash a hydro-electic power station (which looks like an old mill) and hooks Pikachu to a power generator. While Ash moves the paddle wheel like a treadmill (the river was dry), Pikachu absorbs the electricity and glows like a million-watt bulb! Ash returns to the gym the next morning for a rematch. This time Brock starts with Geodude, a hovering rock with arms, and Ash begins with Pidgeotto. Geodude trounces Pidgeotto, then gets fried by Pikachu. Brock then recalls Geodude and sends in Onix. Pikachu explodes with energy like he was wetting himself. Onix is shocked badly, but grabs Pikachu! It's nearly a repeat of their previous battle when Brock, not wanting to see Ash's Pokémon hurt, calls off the match. Burning support beams, caused by Pikachu's blast, activate the sprinkler system, weakening Onix. Taking advantange of the situation, Ash commands Pikachu to shock Onix. As Onix falls, Ash begins to give the command to finish him off but stops. His conscience holds him back as he imagines Brock's siblings hanging on him to stop him. Ash opens his eyes to find that they really are hanging on him. Remembering Brock's mercy, Ash instead calls Pikachu back. As Ash leaves town, Brock catches up to him and gives him the badge for defeating a gym leader. Brock claims he not only won for being a better trainer, but for also being kind to all Pokémon. Brock wants to be the best Pokémon breeder, but can't leave town and wants Ash to do what he can't. Then Flint appears and reveals himself to be Brock's father. He had failed in his quest, but couldn't bring himself to return to his family. Now he's back and he wants Brock to follow his dream. Brock gives Flint all the information he needs like an overprotective TV mom leaving instructions for a babysitter and joins Ash on his quest. Later that night, Team Rocket drills their way out from where they buried themselves and gets trampled as Ash and Pikachu try to lose Misty.

 

Episode 6: The Clefairy and the Moonstone

Misty, Ash, Brock and Pikachu head for Cerulean City by way of Mt. Moon. Legend has it that a meteor known as the Moonstone smashed into the mountain during prehistoric times. On Mt. Moon, they save a scientist named Seymour from a flock of confused Zubats (eyeless bats). To say Seymour was grateful would be an understatement. He explains that fragments of the Moonstone found in this cave increases a Pokémon's power and that some troublemakers looking for the Moonstone had strung up lights in the cave that are confusing the Pokémon within. Inside the cave, a Clefairy (a cute little powder-puff with tiny wings) carrying a Moonstone fragment passes them by and is attacked by Meowth. It turns out Jesse and James aren't too far behind. They let loose Koffing and Ekans to capture the Clefairy. Ash tells Misty to watch Clefairy and Seymour and help them escape as he and Brock defend with Butterfree and a Zubat Brock captured outside the cave. Misty, Clefairy and Seymour escape as Zubat uses his super-sonic attack to confuse Ekans and Koffing into attacking each other, then Butterfree whirlwinds Team Rocket outside the cave. Outside, the Clefairy is attacked by Meowth again on a land bridge and everyone falls into the river. Misty chooses Staryu, who lets loose with a star-attack and then fills Meowth with water. Meowth blows up like a baloon, then zooms away as the water rushes out of his mouth. After a dinner of Brock's homemade Pokémon food, Clefairy and Pikachu lead the gang to a cave containing the Moonstone. More Clefairy appear and dance around it. Pikachu, through Charades, explains that the Clefairy worship the Moonstone. Suddenly, Team Rocket appears and challenges Ash and Brock to a rematch. It's Pikachu and Onix versus Koffing and Ekans as Ekans burrows into the ground and Koffing creates a smoke screen. After Ash's Pidgeotto clears away the smoke, they discover that the match was a diverson so Team Rocket can steal the Moonstone! Onix burrows after them as our heroes run out the cave's entrance. Meanwhile, Seymour explains to the Clefairy why they must help return the Moonstone. Onix sends Team Rocket realing as he knocks over their cart. Ash and friends arrive and Brock commands Onix to charge. James has Koffing counter attack and the two Pokémon slam into each other, knocking themsleves out. Suddenly, Seymour and the Clefairies pop out of the hole Onix made and.. the.. Cle..fair..ies.. do.. the.. Met..ro..nome. Their hypnotic chanting and swaying cause a huge (and unexpected) explosion, simultaneously destroying the Moonstone and knocking Team Rocket into orbit. As peices of Moonstone fall from the sky, several Clefairies evolve into Clefables (they're taller and have bigger wings). Later, as the Clefairies and Clefables dance around a pile of Moonstones, Seymour tells Ash that he'll be staying with the Clefairies. Ash, Brock, and Misty bid adieu and head for Cerulean City. On the way, they find a road side pointing them in the right direction. A message scribbled on the sign reads, "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!" Enraged, Ash dashes to the city.

Team Rocket dares Hypno to hypnoties them and Jessie holds a mirror which makes hypno try to hypnoteis himself. Ash breaks the mirror, and Team Rocket captures the Drowzee.

After this mishap, our heroes use Drowzee on the kids and at the Pokemon center on the Pokemon, but one Pokemon is still holding it's hands on it's head and starts following our heroes and argues on who is going to take it. They find out it's a Psyduck and it has it's hands over it's head due to headache trouble. Misty trips and drops a Pokeball and Psyduck traps himself in it, and Misty gets frustrated. (There is another funny line in here also. Team rocket captures Drowzze with the wips and James said. "Why didn't we do this in the first place and Jessie replies. "Because we need to cover 30 minutes of show time." We find out why some heroes do not use their special defeat moves until the show has a few minutes left.")

The construction head gets frusterated and starts a whack-the-Diglets with Diglets. Gary gets frustrated also and leaves. That night in the hot spring our heroes ponder what had happened to the Diglets and then see some Diglets and are about to follow them. (And I thought there was a nudity scene in here.)

(Funny scene here Jesse and James do some dramaticly stupid stuff and Meowth calls somewhere and says. "Is it possible to be traded to a less embaressing team." I think this one has the new Mewoth voiceover that goes on after this episode.)

wakes him, he uses his another electric attack to wake tortoise
Pokemon up. Blastoise opens his eyes, too, but they shut quickly, and

launchers are out now, and upper half part of something soft and pink
appears from the muzzle of one; it might have caused the situation.
