:There's not yet a consensus on whether or not the Mega Evolution Specials and a bunch of the other specials should be moved to other titles. What's the point of correcting all the links to SS035, if a week later you're changing them all again to ME04? The moves are to be done together to reduce the amount of redundant work. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:54, 2 December 2015 (UTC) | :There's not yet a consensus on whether or not the Mega Evolution Specials and a bunch of the other specials should be moved to other titles.

::( o.o) (o.o ) Is it possible for it to be both Special and an Episode? The English adaptation listed it as a normal episode, but I'm not entirely sure it was meant to be one originally considering the way it was presented. Plus in the end, it was really about the Pikachu anyway.-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">Handmaiden 101</span>]] <small>''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|<span style="color:red">tAlk</span>]])''</small> 21:43, 3 December 2015 (UTC) | ::( o.o) (o.o ) Is it possible for it to be both Special and an Episode?

::: The issue I've always took as that what can classify as a special HAS never applied to this particular episode. Specials are supposed to be "episodes" where Ash is NOT the focus of the episode or even shows up in a big way. Which is why the Iris and Cilan, Dawn and Brock episodes were specials because they had nothing to do with Ash, they were side episodes. This CANNOT be considered a side episode since this episode outside of the stylized format fits any other normal episode. It had an opening, it had Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, it had a plot, so it wasn't some 4 minute segment unrelated to another 4 minute segment airing at the same time. It had an ending, and a next episode preview. If I'm not mistaken, there was even next upcoming episode preview showcasing this episode. I know this was part of a one hour special but everything pointed to this being a normal episode. But the ONLY reason it was considered a special. Was because of the different stylized format of the episode, which was never a good enough reason. If Bulbapedia kept their rule of what's considered a special the whole "Side Story episodes of the Anime Unlike the main anime, Ash Ketchum is not featured in a central focus", if they kept that this would already be considered XY078. The different stylized format should never have been considered as making this a special. Plus there have been episodes within the main anime that BARELY focused on Ash, and wasn't considered a special. Such as DP117, and the focus on Ash, Brock and Dawn was so minimal it might as well have been considered a special side story, but it wasn't. So why would this episode be considered a special despite the heavy influence of Ash, Serena, Bonnie and Clemont, and this being like any other normal "filler" episode, the difference being that this episode was treated like a segmented movie, because that was the plot of the episode. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 22:54, 3 December 2015 (UTC) | |||
