Yep, they existed back then too, though they weren't regularly posted online. Also, remember that only every fourth episode or so gets a preview manga chapter, and it only covers bits of the episode in question.

Where can I watch the Team Rocket Radio Show??
Ice Ice Snowrunt!
I'm not sure if this has already been asked, but did the writers ditch Relic Castle in favor for the abyssal ruins? Weren't Team Plasma originally going to be involved with Relic Castle? Perhaps the writers pushed that to the side due to the 2011 earthquake/ tsunami?

Yes, the TR vs TP will be banned at the moment because the Tohoku earthquake an tsunami. TV Tokyo aired a message that the episode will be unbanned and will air later. Is possible that TR vs TP will air between now and the Genesect movie because Genesect story is related to Team Plasma. But the Team plasma episodes were made in the Desert Resort, not in the Relic Castle. I'll find unlikely that the TR vs TP will be featured in the Relic Castle.
Depending what you consider a success. I think that the episodes got rating of 5,6 (BWS2 12) and 5,1 (BWS2-13). There's lower ratings (specially at the late part of BW1) but the episodes are a bit low compared to the promotion they've got. Although there are acceptable.

Pokemon Anime Question?
Does Iris know about Ash's Pokemon history now? I saw some clips of B/W2, and seems the older mons' and people are back.
Yeah, ok!
No, Ash has said almost nothing about his past to either Iris or Cilan. Even when Dawn came hardly anything was said about DP.
Beginning Trainer
Wow... That sucks.
Edit: Just realized there was a thread for single questions..
Go to the league!!!
We know that Iris knows who is Dawn before meeting with Ash. And Iris knows that Ash has travelled to her in Sinnoh. The question is when Ash told Iris this indormation.
The answer is that Ash told off-screen about his adventures. My specualtion is that Ash rtold abpout Dawn between Cynthia meeting Ash and dawn meting Ash.
The real reason is because they don't want to explain everything about Sinnoh, they said that informwation off-screen and only show on-screen the fact that Iris already knows about Dawn to focus on other things in this episode.
Sonans!?
A lot of you will recognise a different version of "Friends Anniversary" (played in the final scene of DP191) played in BW2, used during Dawn's departure and later Meloetta's too, my question is does this have a different name? I'm looking all over and can't seem to find it.

What was the real deal with the first Pokémon movie. I saw a trailer on YouTube that showed the original trailer for the first movie that showed Misty with a young girl that looked like a younger Nurse Joy. People on the comments section say that this was originally supposed to be the Series Finale of Pokémon but after it was decided that Pokémon will have more seasons, the script was re-written. Is this true? Can someone explain this whole situation to me?

The Japanese Trailers rarely reflect the actual content in the movies, especially the early ones.

Does anyone know the name of this song?
I always hear it in commercials that talked about the film 15 of Keldeo. I imagined that her name would be "Memories", but when the song "memories" was released, it was not the same!
Does anyone know out there know her name or who sings it?
Here a video in which plays the song, plays early in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdbHIn4cF3U

This is what I have heard, and based on the totally different product that resulted, I am positive that it was originally intended to be the series finale until the show was renewed.

Sonans!?
That is exactly the story. Movie 1 was originally planned as the Series finale as the anime was slated for a year and a half run, however with the increasing popularity of the franchise the show was continued.
Nothing has ever been stated much about the first movie trailer, however with Misty as an adult, and the little girl friendly with Pikachu, she is believed to be Ash and Misty's daughter.
I really hope that one day we get an explanation on what the original movie was planned like. What was going to happen and how it was going to end.
いじっぱり
This again?
The series was originally intended to run a year and a half, yes, but movie 1 was not intended to be the series finale. It was always meant to be screened the July date it did (which caused complications after the show went on hiatus a while, since as a result the movie tie-in episodes aired long after the movie had been in theaters), roughly 1 year and 2.5 months into the series.
The movie was not rewritten to any particular degree either, since it's an hour-long cartoon, and these take time to produce. You can't just go in an rewrite them halfway into production. It's impossible. And of course, there are no reasons to assume any such rewriting took place aside from "I always heard some stupid rumor state so".
As for that trailer... it's not meant to represent some version of the movie that was thrown away and replaced with the one you got. It's from 1998, meaning it was screened less than 7 months before the movie premiered - as mentioned above, that's wayyy too late to do any extensive rewriting.
Also, there's no plot to the trailer. It's not something that's meant to be extensively examined and theorized about, it's just some pictures with a song set to it, telling the audience there's a Pokemon movie coming.
As for the girl... the song used in the trailer is "Pocket ni fantasy", the current ending theme to the TV series at the time it (likely) screened. The trailer itself fits the lyrics, so you might consider it a music video of sorts. The song is sung by Sachiko Kobayashi and Juri Ihata, portraying a kindergarten teacher and a little girl. Kobayashi played Voyager in the fist movie (and also sung its ending theme), making it likely the girl in the trailer is meant to portray Ihata. That's the logical conclusion to make from it, at least.
EXTERMINATE!
I know not how the minds of the animé creators work, but, from your description.... WHAT does it have ANYTHING to do with Pokémon besides the song? That's like if I made a Sonic the Hedgehog trailer, and all it was was Green Hill Zone with some cellphones and some teenagers.

I have no idea what you're even trying to say. Please rephrase that.
EXTERMINATE!
Well, I may have misinterpreted your point, but when you were talking about the trailer, you described it in a way that suggested the trailer was saying a Pokémon movie was coming, yet at the same time it (the trailer, not the movie) had little to do with Pokémon.
いじっぱり
No, it's Pokemon-related (there are Pokemon characters on-screen all throughout the trailer, the music is a Pokemon song that talks about Pokemon, it ends with an announcement for the movie), the content of the trailer just doesn't have much to do with the movie itself. It features Pikachu, Voyager, someone who appears to be a grown-up Misty, and a little girl who's probably meant to be Juri Ihata playing together, the imagery sort of going along with the lyrics of the song.
