Hingry for the good life question

[Shinx3000]

In DP, "Hungry for the good life!" I was just wondering why there was a Zapdos in it? It was a good episode for a filler, but I did not get that part. Only thing I thought was that it could be related to Platinum as you can catch the roaming birds in it

Your right about it being because of Platinum.

It had been released that week in Japan when the episode first aired. Zapdos was sheerly there as an ad.

EDIT: Also the ep wasn't "Hungry for the good life!", it was "Doc Brock!"

oh, ok, I was watching it on TV, missed the start and the information about it read Hungry for the good life and thanks

Yeah. Platinum released in Japan at the same time this episode aired in Japan, so it was more of a reference to the game more than anything else.

It was Zapdos' second appearance in an episode....since waaaay back in that one Johto ep Zapdos was in, with the crystal in the lake that energized electric Pokemon.
