From Serebii:

Thinning the Hoard
(May VS Harley! Stage on with a double battle!)

Channeling the Battle Zone
(May VS Drew! The final battle!)

Aipom & Circumstance
(Aipom and the King)

These will air from the 12th to the 14th of December.
 
12th? As in Tuesday?
I guess CN may be doing something special for Monday.
 
Ah, yeah that makes sense. Well that serves me right for assuming the schedule based off the titles.
 
And supposedly these are te last of the debut on weekdays episodes. Right now my preditions is tht D/P will start sometime in Early March which is when Diamond and Pearl come out.

Episode title
Thinning the Hoard
An actual phrase and I guess it applies. Lol at coordinators being refered to as a hoard.

Channeling the Battle Zone
This title reminds me of that abortion of an anime Duel Masters. Here's hoping the episode isn't as horrible as that.

Aipom and Circumstance
Okay punwise. Though I hate that Aipom. IT MUST DIE!
 
If it did go on for a fourth week, we would get Perap, Weavile, Registeel and "Rivals Forever". I do think this is it for new episodes this year, though with CN you can never tell.

These titles bring us up to July as the Japanese episodes went. There are only nine AG dub titles yet to be revealed.
 
Why are Pokemon USA dubbing the episodes so quickly? Are they tired of being like 20+ episode behind Japan?

BF has been getting excellent ratings on CN, so CN is being greedy and wants more episodes to make more money as fast as possible.

Too bad they don't realize this will bite them in the ass soon, because we can't go into the D/P series yet. I hope CN has fun playing through 5-6 months of reruns because they rushed the entire season.

I'm also happy to see that the people who said, "Ratings will go downhill and the show will be cancelled" because of the voice actor change were proven dead wrong. The show is a ratings success even without the 4kids voice actors, so that barely affected things at all, just like Dogasu, one of the only smart people during this switch, said it would. It's just like when people were saying ratings would die just because the writers got rid of Misty 4 years ago, but they were proven wrong when AG was a complete success as well. Indeed.

Goes to show you that nothing can stop Pokemon, even 10 years after its original debut. When the D/P games come out, it'll revive interest in the show even more and the D/P series' ratings will be through the roof.
 
Maybe, but the D/P series can't have its ratings go through the roof if there are only a few D/P episodes prior to September, can it?

Honestly, do you have to bring fan reaction to Misty's departure into every single debate? Everyone else got over it years ago.

If they hype it up with the first 5 episodes of D/P, (which are part of Season 9 and the only D/P eps they can actually play), then they can boost interest for Season 10.

The first 5 episodes introduce us to Hikari and Shinji. Those two new characters alone would be enough to excite the kiddies about the new season.

KidsWb did the same thing with AG back in 2003, they played AG1 and AG2 as a sneak peak when Master Quest was still airing and got everyone excited about May and the new Hoenn region. It got people excited enough to tune in when the time came for Season 6 to start in the Fall.

Misty's departure and the voice actor switch are the two biggest moments where the fandom overreacted over the course of the series. As we can see, neither of those two events had a negative impact on the series. It should be a lesson to people to stop claiming "gloom and doom" just because something changes in the series.

If something shocking happens during the end of the D/P era, I hope people use these two prior examples to not overreact next time.

They're not going to do that. Why the heck does everyone think they're going to do that?

DP6 is season 10. Season 10 won't start until September.

Key point in bold. A more valid comparison would be with the fall of interest when Kids WB aired the season two Orange Islands episodes too quickly.

And don't act all innocent. You were one of the loudest voices against the original Mastermind dub.
 
They took a break between the final MQ and AG. Which, the first 20-some episode of AG were part of Seaon 6 I belive, and the others were the final part of MQ.
 
Hmmm....your right.

Still, who says CN has to begin the new season in September? I won't be surprised if DP stars before the Summer.
 
Whatever contracts CN signs for Season 10 will probably require them to wait until September to air the new episodes. That way, the Season 9 episodes can have their chance to cycle through the network a few times and can be milked for all they're worth.
 
That's the way 4Kids and KidsWB did it, but CN tends to handle anime differently. Naruto and Zatch Bell have never taken breaks inbetween seasons, for example.

If the episodes are dubbed, CN would probably just as soon start up the new 'Season' the week after ending the previous one.
 
Well I don't really think it would take until September for the episodes to cycle through. I mean CN is playing pokemon a ton and won't take too long to cycle through a few times. I mean they play it on Saturdays in teh mornings and nights, Miguzi, and also a bunch of other random time slots, I've pretty much seen all the BF episodes on TV, and only like 3 of them when they were new or on on Saturday mornings.
 
Those are some interesting new titles. Though, I don't get the puns on the first two titles, if they are puns.

And there's only 14 episodes left in Battle Frontier/season 9? Wow, this has been a fast season indeed!!


Phew, I hope you're right about that Dogasu. That's a relief. ^^

I've been worrying like crazy about the fact that, as soon as season 9 is over with, CN might start airing new episodes of season 10 (D/P). And that would be way too fast, in my opinion.

They need to give everyone a while to digest the Battle Frontier season, and they need to rerun it all the way through a few times.

Actually, to be quite honest, the only people who really thought Misty's departure was a big moment were the huge Misty fans, and all the Pokeshippers (obviously).


Personally, the fact that Misty left didn't mean that much to me. I liked her, but I didn't care one way or the other for whether she stayed or left.



Anyway though, in my opinion, the VA switch is the biggest moment in the fandom, because not only did all the main characters receive new voices, but also the Pokemon have new voices too (well, sometimes). Also, since the Pokemon dub switched companies, there have been many different issues and problems, and therefore more people have been complaining.


Also, that's not true. The VA switch DID have a negative impact on the series, or at least, it did with Ash's voice and his personality. Ash is like a completely different character now, and that's a very bad thing. And not only that, but in my opinion, season 9/Battle Frontier is like a different show altogether because well, it just seems that way to me (with Ash's voice being so different, and everyone having new voices - it just doesn't feel like Pokemon to me).
