Thanks to Iteru for writing this up.

Like many sections on Bulbagarden, the Pokemon Anime section is introducing a Simple Questions and Simple Answers thread. Please use this thread when you have a quick question that doesn't really need its own thread. Some key examples would be as follow:

"What song is this/is it it available on a CD?"

"What episode is this screenshot from?" (This question gets asked a lot in the Caption the Screenshot thread. Instead of asking there, link to the picture and ask in this thread instead)

"What episode is _____ scene from?"

These are just a few examples, but hopefully you get the gist of the types of questions that this thread is for. Remember to stick to just questions and answers, and to not leave your opinion on any of the questions or answers made. Doing this will result in you receiving a Pointless Post infraction.

Before asking a question, please look at the Frequently asked questions that we have made below to see if your question has already been answered by one of us here at the staff. Likewise, if your question hasn’t been answered in that section, please check the rest of the thread to see if somebody has already asked beforehand with a relevant answer.

Frequently asked questions.

  • Will Ash ever go back for Primeape?
    Ash never promises Primeape that he would return for it in either version of the show. It’s possible that he could, but he isn’t obligated to by his word. The narrator is the only one to ever suggest this.

  • How old is Ash?
    Ash is stated to be 10 years old by the narrator in the first episode of Best Wishes and Black and White.

  • What was in the GS Ball?
    From Bulbapedia:
    In an interview with Masamitsu Hidaka in 2008 by the webmaster of PokéBeach, it was explained that the GS Ball was meant to contain a Celebi that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga. However, it was decided that Celebi would be the star of the fourth movie, so the story arc was viewed as redundant and shelved. The ball was left with Kurt with the hopes that viewers would eventually forget about it. This plan, however, failed, as the GS Ball remained one of the most talked-about anime mysteries until the interview.

  • In the third movie short "Pikachu and Pichu", Ash said it was he and Pikachu's one year anniversary. Was that in the Japanese version as well?

    Here is the translation of that scene, thanks to Dogasu:

    Do you know what day today is?
    (今日が何の日か 知ってるか?)
    Pi?
    (ピ?)
    It's the day you and I first met.
    (オレとお前が初めて会った日なんだよ)
    It's the day you and I became friends. It's our "friendship anniversary."
    (オレとお前が友達になった日。 友達記念日さ)
    Pikachu!
    (ピカチュウ!)

    There was no mention of just what year anniversary it was.

This seem very similar to what I remember them saying in English... are you sure the English said ONE year?... I remember just "the day we first met and became friends"...

In what episode was it confirmed that it has been a year since Ash and May meet, did this Actually happen, and was it just the Japanese version?

Sometimes characters say it's been months since this or that happened or few weeks till the contest or stuff like that
It doesn't really matter, cause while time pass, characters don't age...

Pokemon is the kinda anime where the characters don't age, even though we do and it has been with the world for years.

I know that but that doesn't answer the question at all. Groan. I remember reading on tvtropes that a year was confirmed to past since may and Ash meeting and I just want to know episode
 
I want to ask question for the japanese fans...
is there really a bad words or they even use a hard language in the japanese version of the anime,I sometimes watch a japanese with eng subs and I found words such as "shit,wtf,wth,bastard..." but I know many translations are in accurate,they may change "what" with " what the hell" and "darn it" with " god damn" and so.
 
Subbers tend to be pretty liberal with their translations, and have a tendency to use harsher language than is actually used. The only profanity I'm certain of is the instance with Surge saying God Damn in English.
 
Regarding the year since Ash and May met, I only remember them saying the Kanto GF was a year after the Hoenn GF. Although I am not sure if that's a dub line or not.
 
I'm looking for an episode, it's a scene when you can see Burmy, he lost all his "leaf" that covers his body, then he quickly pick them up and put them onto his body and hide again. Or so... do anyone happened to remember which episode that's from? Hah...

This scene is from DP002 when Dawn had just started her journey and was trying to capture one.
 
Ohh I have a question..... who would win between a milotic and lapras? Or between milotic and pigeot?
 
You'd think the anime producers have something against Ho-oh, a legendary that has not had its own feature film, whereas like every other has. :/
 
Which episodes have Team Rocket's Wobbuffet balloon been in?

From what I remember, "The Wayward Wobbuffet" in Johto and "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?" in AG.
EDIT: And "Leave it to Brocko" (DP) I think? XD

This is somethign that's been bugging me. Did Erika seem a bit underhanded? I mean for one, she denied Ash entry to her gym and later had Gloom knock out Charmender with its smell instead of actually battling...

That question isn't really suitable for this thread, since it does not have a factual answer and merely asks for opinions. Please read the original post for examples of the types of questions this thread is intended for.
