Hey, does anyone know if [[EP035]] ever aired in South Korea? Since their dub is not based on the 4Kids version it seems possible.

== "History" and "Similarities with Foreign Versions" sections == | |||
I decided to move the last paragraph from the "History" section into its own section, to discuss the way the Pokémon franchise is similar or not relative to Japan and North America's iteration of it. I felt this is something worth sharing, albeit briefly. If anyone has any additions or changes, etc, or if it should be removed, let's discuss it here. | |||
Speaking of the "History" section, I want it to adhere to a specific narrative. Right now there are four paragraphs, which specifically discuss: | |||
* That Japanese stuff was banned in Korea once upon a time | |||
* That this ban was lifted slightly in 1998 and some stuff started to trickle in | |||
* This ban was completely lifted in 2004, and thus official stuff was officially released | |||
* Now Pokémon is large and popular in Korea, it is treated as an equal by Nintendo and Game Freak (as opposed to an afterthought), and here is the proof | |||
I think the History section should keep this narrative, and any additions to it should be about those four things. However, if someone has a suggestion for a fifth section, or a new way to write this narrative, I'm open to it. In any case, this was the reason why I decided to move the "Similarities" paragraph to its own section; it wasn't about its "History" and it just didn't fit with the narrative layout. --- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 04:39, 29 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
