-===Remember That Episode?: Showdown in Pewter City===
+===In the News: National Pokédex Beginning Set and Keldeo Battle Strength Deck===
-* '''Showdown in Pewter City''' (Japanese: '''ニビジムのたたかい！''' ''Battle at Nibi Gym!'') is the fifth episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 29, 1997 and in the United States on September 14, 1998.
+* The '''Keldeo Battle Strength Deck''' (Japanese: '''バトル強化デッキ30 ケルディオ''') and the '''National Pokédex Beginning Set''' (Japanese: '''はじめてセット 全国図鑑版セット''') are two Japanese exclusive [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] releases hitting store shelves today.
-* In this episode, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} arrive in [[Pewter City]]. Ash then finds the [[Pewter Gym]] and challenges the Gym Leader; {{an|Brock}}
+* These two releases are the first to feature {{TCG|Keldeo}}: each features Keldeo as a {{ct|Water}} [[Basic Pokémon]].
-* This episode marks the debut of the following characters and Pokémon: {{an|Brock}}, {{Ka|Flint}}, [[Forrest]], [[Brock's siblings]], {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}.
+* The National Beginning Set introduces many Pokémon not yet seen in the Black & White era, including some, such as {{TCG|Spinda}} and {{TCG|Croagunk}}, that have not been featured in the TCG for more than 10 expansions: about 30 months in real time. In the case of {{TCG|Taillow}}, this will be the first card in four years.
-* This episode introduced the most named, recurring characters in the entire anime. However, given that it introduced Brock's siblings, it has an advantage over other episodes. If all of Gary's cheerleaders had ever been named, the honor would go to the first episode.
+* These are the first releases since the beginning of the Black & White era in December 2010 to feature artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]].
-* This is one of the few episodes where Ash tries to return {{AP|Pikachu}} to its [[Poké Ball]].
+* These two releases bring 38 new Pokémon cards to the game.
-* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 20: Onix'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
+* The only [[Stage 2 Pokémon]] included are {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Emboar}}, and {{p|Samurott}}.
+* The Keldeo Battle Strength Deck features new artwork for {{TCG|Rocky Helmet}} and {{TCG|Eviloite}}.

+* In order to be appropriate for newer players, the newly introduced {{ct|Dragon}} is not included.
