Pokémon TV Show - Team Rocket's Secret Broadcast

[Serebii]

Just figured I'd make a thread about this

Following on from the radio show that has been going mon for the past few months, it has been announced that on December 19th, 20th and 21st there will be three special episodes on Kids Station of the Rocket's Secret Broadcast, but designed for TV. It's unclear how this will work considering the radio show had the animated characters interviewing real life people.

Will keep you aprised

I was about to assume that it was about the banned TR vs TP episodes. I am not sure what to expect from this. Maybe they will interview someone like Masuda or Sugimori. The best I can hope is some news about those banned episodes.

Before this I thought TR was dead. You know biggest plan and all that. This might mean they are coming back.

I was thinking the same thing about the banned episodes. But hey, for all we know we see interviews in 1 episode and the 2 banned episodes in the other 2

Meh they are wasting anymation resources on them being silly instead of animating new moves for the pokemon, not interested.

The Team Plasma episodes would make sense since Team Rocket's done in Unova and they may as well show the episodes. If not, I hope the episodes are good.

The already used footage from those episodes in this new special.

This are TR special episodes, so it has nothing to do with Plasma, just drop it, the only chance Plasma has to appear now is either in the movie or if they want to use them in the filler arc.

Yeah, like Pokemon never recycled footage before.

Even if it's not that, I hope it's something new and not a bunch of reruns.

They will be reruns. The program description states that Musashi, Kojiro and Nyarth will each select their personal favorite episode from the Pocket Monsters series and show it to the people.

And to those who thought it would be the TR vs TP episodes, let me play you a song on the world's smallest violin.

Still interesting info.

Meh, i thought it'd be something new. Although things like this prove that TR Trio are the most developed characters in the Anime.

Also, a question. Does anyone know where i can find the ratings Team Rocket gave to various Pokemon Movies (Which is their favorite etc), from that special episode they aired instead of normal Pokemon BW episode not so long time ago?

There's usually an Animation Team that handles Special / Movies / Commercials separate from the regular Anime Teams. Of course, that's one of the main reasons they use Animation Teams in the first place. So the primary Animation Team doesn't exhaust themselves drawing dozens of episodes, the movies, and commercials.

If there is any new animation it was done months ago, so don't peg your dissatisfaction with the current state on that.

[CyberCubed]

Well Serebii just confirmed they are airing reruns of TR's favorite episodes so....false alarm?

[dman_dustin]

And we have to waste an entire episode of something new, on reruns, why?

So the last episode of the year will end on the 13th? Yeah I don't care.

[Caseydia]

And we have to waste an entire episode of something new, on reruns, why?

Maybe in order to stall for time when the league is over.

[AceDetective]

It's not gonna effect the anime.
The anime airs on TV Tokyo correct?
This airs on Kids Station

Yep. This is the first time Kids Station airs anything Pokemon besides just completely straight reruns, in fact.

But they are straight reruns lol. Even if they are a special.

[Dephender]

No, they'll obviously have some sort of special pre- and post-episode segment where the Rockets introduce the episode.
