Reported Problem for Pokémon Chronicles
posted by cam1170STAFFMOD on May 21, 2022 at 12:04 PM
Item: Pokémon Chronicles
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: This series currently represents the rearranged Pokemon Chronicles, documented here https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Chronicles
However, what we currently don't represent either here or on the Specials season of the main Pokemon show is that they were originally known as "Pocket Monsters Side Stories" with the episode list here https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_side_story_episodes
We should either
- Change this show to make it like Pocket Monsters Side Stories with the proper order.
- Create another show called Pocket Monsters Side Stories and leave this one alone (causing duplication of episodes), removing the inaccurate Japanese title.
- Add these to the main Pokemon Specials season.

Is this ever going to happen?

In this post, I changed the katakana to English. Please change the show. Compare these episode lists to see the difference: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_side_story_episodes https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Chronicles#Episodes

The Japanese version of this show contains 16 Eps in a different order (starting with "A Family That Battles Together Stays Together" airing on December 3, 2002) then that of the English version which has 22 Eps (which starts with "The Legend of Thunder (Part 1)" airing on June 3, 2006).
I was going to add the cast and crew - But as these Eps don't reflect the actual English version of the show (22 vs 16 Eps) then doing so would be pointless as the information would be reflected upon an incorrectly established foundation. The English version of "A Family That Battles Together Stays Together" actually aired on July 1, 2006 and was Ep #5 in the series. This poses an issue with the sort order.

I'm going to take a stab at cleaning this show up a bit. Rightly or wrongly I'm going to use the aired order over at tvdb https://www.thetvdb.com/series/pokemon-chronicles/seasons/official/1 which does seem to match the actual Japanese order when it first aired. I'll also use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Chronicles as a reference. However The Pikachu's Winter Vacation and The Legend of Thunder! (parts 1-3) didn't air as part of Chronicles in Japan. They are listed in the specials on the main show (details below) so maybe we want to delete these from this Chronicles listing ? (maybe a moderator can comment on that)!
Anyhow aside from that, this is what I plan on doing ...
I'll do this over the coming days when I have some time. Also, if a moderator sees this then please jump in if they disagree or have another recommendation ?

Okay, edits done as per my comments above to match the original Japanese aired order.
Now, can I ask a moderators to take an action regarding The Pikachu's Winter Vacation and The Legend of Thunder! (parts 1-3) which I outlined above. ATM these episodes are listed both here against this show and as specials against the main Pokémon show. My vote would be to delete the ones here against Chronicles as they did not air in Japan as part of Chronicles. Anyhow, I'll also ask a moderator to lock the season order and additions if they approve these changes.

Ok, it's been a while, it seems now they need to remove Episodes 1-5 (The Pikachu's Winter Vacation and The Legend of Thunder!). And also episode 9 (Trouble in Big Town), since that was release as a special of the main series (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Trouble_in_Big_Town).
Then reorder the episodes, of course.
