Should they have episodes like this?

[Flaze]

As you know it was announced that a new Japanese episode of Pokémon is coming out. In this episode Jun and Dawn are competing in Ping Pong Tournament. Now I ask you, do you think they should create more episodes where they compete in sport related events with their Pokémon or not.

I think they should have more considering that episodes like that are usually pretty funny when it comes to it.

Why not? If they're good and allow for character development and/or fun character interaction, I'm all for them, even if they're not strictly Pokemon-related.

I might've mentioned that I want to see the card game getting a focus episode one day...?

 

[Flaze]

Yeah that'll be cool and it'll be more funny if Ash got obsessed with it

They sorta did this once before like with Casey and her Electabuzz baseball team. Although the Electabuzz was just the team name and it had human players, too bad we didn't see some Electabuzz play baseball.

Then again, who remembers Casey, a character who hasn't appeared since 2002?

There was also the orienteering episode and the "Extreme Pokemon" thing..
It's not really anything new.

Yea I think sports-related episodes are good. It's good to show today's kids that sports/exercise/activities besides TV and video games are good and fun!

 

[pikachu200]

Yeah they should along with episodes with shippy hints

 

[Legacy]

I wish they'd have a soccer/football episode! although at this point, baseball is definitely bigger in japan than soccer

Maybe we're reading it wrong, maybe the episode is actually Jun vs. Dawn in BEER pong?

 

[Cybersai]

The "Training Wrecks" episode had to do with exercise, if I remember correctly.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

I'd like to see an all-pokemon basketball game like in Golden Boys. Especially if it involves a Voltorb being mistaken for the ball.

Kind of strange to see Barry have another intrest Idon't think Ash has any other intrest besides pokemon

 

[L-Z]

There definetely needs to be "Pokémon olympics" or something like that. And the race episodes like "The Flame Pokémon-athon" and "Extreme Pokémon" were also good. So yes, we definetely need more sports episodes to have some competition outside just contests and battles.

Maybe we're reading it wrong, maybe the episode is actually Jun vs. Dawn in BEER pong?

This would be the greatest moment in Pokemon history. By far. Too bad she's only ten. But hey, what's the drinking age in Japan anyways?

 

[Insanish Danish]

I think they should. Episodes like these are fun and it's something different, taking a break from the main focus of the show.

ZomG Noez! We has 2 many filers already in pogeymaz!!

But hell yeah! I love the sport/crazy event episodes! They're always so much fun. After all, the inevitable "fillers" can at least have an original, interesting (as in - not used on this show before) concept rather than the typical kinda filler which, to be fair, DP has spared us a lot of. I'm all for an olympics!
