BW037: Difference between revisions

This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on April 7, 2011, as the 26th episode of the Best Wishes series, but it was postponed, along with the original [[BW023 (unaired)|BW023]] and [[BW024 (unaired)|BW024]], because of the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. Unlike the Team Plasma episodes, this one was eventually aired.

Team Rocket grabs the Poké Balls and heads out to the boat to make their getaway, but notice that the boat is getting away. A female Frillish moves the boat away from them. Everyone finds Team Rocket and realizes that the whole competition was fake and they were trying to steal all of the Poké Balls. Team Rocket calls out {{p|Woobat}} and {{p|Yamask}}, while Ash scans Yamask with his Pokédex. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt and Pansage uses Bullet Seed which Yamask blocks to protect Woobat. Pikachu uses {{m|Iron Tail}} on Yamask, and Pansage uses {{m|Bite}} on Woobat to defeat them. Everyone begins to notice that all of the Poké Balls are empty and that the female Frillish released them. Team Rocket gets away on their jet packs after Yamask uses {{m|Haze}}. Cilan searches for the golden fishing rod and realizes that it was broken and fake. Bianca tells them that she is going to the Desert Resort to train hard and leaves them.

* Ash and friends encounter {{an|Bianca}} again.

* {{an|Cilan}} catches a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Basculin|Blue-Striped]] {{p|Basculin}}. However, it is later released.

* This episode was originally supposed to be the 26th episode of the {{series|Best Wishes}} and was supposed to fall in between ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-types!]]'' and ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', formerly the 25th and 27th episodes, respectively. It was also originally titled '''ヒウンシティのつり大会！釣りソムリエ・デント登場！！''' ''Fishing Conference of {{tt|Hiun City|Castelia City}}! Fisher {{tt|Sommelier|Connoisseur}} - {{tt|Dent|Cilan}} Appears!!'' in Japan before it was postponed.

** All references to the gang being in [[Castelia City]] have been removed.

** The ending has been altered to show {{an|Bianca}} leaving the group, contradicting the two episodes following where it was intended to air, in which she is traveling with them.

** Team Rocket's jet packs are shown more closely than during their previous uses, indicating that they were being used for the first time, although they were already shown in ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]''.

* In the [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin American dub]], James's line ''"Everything seems in order to me!"'' is changed to ''"{{tt|Pues no veo nada porque tengo el ojo cerrado...|Well, I can't see anything because my eye is closed...}}"''. This is for comical purposes, as during the scene he actually doesn't open his eyes at all. Jessie then states that it doesn't matter and that they can have the fishing Poké Balls anyway.
