:::::::::I agree, this should be XY078. Even though it is split into 4 parts, and even though the dub didn't air it, it shares many other qualities with normal episodes. As Bluesun said, it has its own opening, its own ending, its own Oak segment, and its own preview. Additionally, a good portion of the community considers this to be XY078 and it sorta throws them off when they come to Bulbapedia and see that all the subsequent episodes are like an episode off. --[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 03:53, 13 September 2015 (UTC) | :::::::::I agree, this should be XY078.

::::::::::Lots of people also believe that certain Pokemon names are pronounced a certain way, when in fact the way they pronounce them is incorrect. So just because lots of people consider it a normal episode, that does not make it so. There's no reason why even a special episode can't include the normal opening, ending and Oak Live Caster segments. Do you expect them to make up an original opening and ending for just one special? Because I'm sure they would have more important things to do than that.

::::::::::: Don't care how old this comment is because this needs to be said. The games don't give us the pronounciation (don't know if I spelled that right) for each Pokémon's name nor do they even remotely hint at it. The only way to know how a Pokémon's name is pronounced is either through the anime or official confirmation. So until either one is presented the only thing people have to go on is what they think the pronounciation most likely is. Heck I've pronounced the names of Pokémon before hearing them in the anime because all I had to go on was my own judgement. So you're argument there can't really be considered valid. | |||
::::::::::: Or they could what they did with the mega evolution acts, and not give it an opening or an ending and just a fancy title screen, which they didn't do. I mean this isn't like the Iris and Cilan specials, is it? No, because Ash wasn't a part of them and that's why it was called a special. I mean why wasn't DP117 treated like a special? Why isn't XY079, or XY081? (since those episodes are barely about Ash at all) Being segmented was never a condition for an episode to being a special. But suddenly when this episode airs, suddenly its a condition. This episode violates what Bulbapedia has argued is considered a special this whole time. The thing is the segments are interconnected and cannot be seen by themselves, their just stylized chapters within and episode. Or in terms of a Movie theater play or movie. We have Act 1 introducing the characters, Act 2 revealing the problem, Act 3 the conclusion. DVD movies have their own "chapters" so you can skip to that part of the movie. All this episode was, is a normal XY episode with stylized breaks and a different approach to how a usual episode goes. Unprecedented in the entire Pokemon anime, and JUST because of it being different, it's merely considered a special, for the hell of it. For no reason, then because its different. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] ([[User talk:Dman dustin|talk]]) 23:29, 14 September 2015 (UTC) | ::::::::::: Or they could what they did with the mega evolution acts, and not give it an opening or an ending and just a fancy title screen, which they didn't do.

:::::::::::: I also agree that this should be XY078. The two episodes together (This and XY077) aired as a "1 hour special", but individually they are seperate episodes. Why does this get special treatment and the other one doesn't, especially after the other valid points which have been raised here? As previously mentioned, the community as a majority counts this as XY078. There is no official statement saying if this is a special or not (and this goes for everything) so nobody is *right*; Someone just needs to make sure that things are consistent. Pronunciations can't really be used as a good example of something that is definitely right either, since there have been a number of different official pronunciations of the same pokemon, for example Arceus has ar-see-us, ar-say-us and ark-ee-us in English media.
