Can you tell me what was the last Pokemon episode to use the Ash throwing Pokeball sequence from the first episode?

The September 8, 1998 (Tuesday) debut date we have doesn't seem to be backed up in sources. | |||
A significant number of period sources state that it was going to debut on September 7 (Monday), and that it aired every weekday. While it's possible the debut was post-poned, I haven't found any evidence to support that. | |||

Also worth noting that [http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/timeline.html#1998 the 20th anniversary timeline] (which has a large number of errors) says it debuted on September 5 (Saturday), as does [http://www.gamebits.net/e3/e398/nintendo/ Gamebit's article on E3 1998: Nintendo] (although it gets the release date of Pokémon Red and Blue wrong, even comparing to other articles reporting on E3, so I don't know how reliable it is). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 06:44, 14 January 2016 (UTC) | |||
