::::: Not sure what's going on here, but just wanted add further thoughts. I always thought the criteria for something to be a special had to fit at least three points. 1). It doesn't air on TV Tokyo 2). Lack of human characters within the episode/special like the Pikachu shorts and 3). If there are human characters they can't be the main characters within the current series. So an episode about Misty would be a special, but how in the world is an episode revolving around Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and Ash, actually has a consistent plot, aired on TV Tokyo considered a special just because it's stylized differently than the normal episode.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 19:20, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

::::::On VOD platforms such as [http://www.hulu.jp/watch/806068 hulu], it's considered completely a normal episode, it even also has its own ordinary opening, its own ordinary ending, its own ordinary Oak Caster, and completely ordinary previews linking it in-sequence with the previous/next episodes, which is something that Mega Evolution episodes, and the TV airing of one of the ANA shorts don't even have. If the dub airs it without any issue at all completely in-sequence, will you consider it an ordinary episode then? [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] ([[User talk:Bluesun|talk]]) 05:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

:::::::Well, it seems like the dub has skipped this episode, which I think helps to prove that this is more of a special. So I don't think this episode should be moved to XY078 in the future. I know the dub usually changes things, but they wouldn't skip a normal episode for no reason and I don't see why they would skip this one.
