    Are the first 2 Summer School Episodes Confirmed already? They show up on TV.com but not on CN or Bulbapedia.
    ps: I am predicting the Dusknior Episode is "Ghoul of the School!". -Though it can be Ghost/Phantom/etc.

    My questions is:

    Why doesn't Jessie and James just quit Team Rocket and do their own thing?

    - Fact they owe Team Rocket a crap load of money for the retirement plan, etc...

    - Fact they have, unknowingly, been kicked out of Team Rocket before

    Actually, just today Serebii put up the dub title for the first part of the Summer School Arc! It set to air on January 3rd and is titled "Camping It Up". However nothing mentioned beyond that episode, but things shoudl reveal themselves in time.

    I don't have any real answer for this. Best I could think of is that they have no where else to go. It is known Jessie failed at a lot of things before joining up with Team Rocket. As foe James, he was feeling trapped by his high society life and finally ran away after finding out he was betrothed to Jessiebelle. So they joined Team Rocket in hope of being part of something that will get them fame and glory the way they want it.

    1. There is no real simple answer to this because there are a few factors such as release/traded/temporarily owned/etc.. If you want to see all of the character's Pokemon that they had significance with, go to Bulbapedia and type in the characters name in the search bar. They'll take you to their page and list all of these significant Pokemon. To make things easier, click HERE for Bulbapedia's character page where it includes a list of every single character ever seen in the anime (though the main characters are listed on top of course, though you'll have to search for rivals and other antagonists).

    2. Being that Dawn already has a Piplup, it is pretty much assured Ash will not be getting a Piplup.

    1. No main character, or any Pokemon Trainer in the show, for that matter, has ever caught a legendary. It's pretty much not allowed to happen in the anime.

    2. The Pokemon anime is timeless, so as far as the writers are concerned, Ash is still 10.

    3. First of all, Charizard is not a Dragon type; it's a Fire/Flying type. Second of all, the only main character to have a Dragon type besides Gym Leaders, is May's rival Drew, who has a Ground/Dragon type Flygon. Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion, also has a Ground/Dragon type: Garchomp, but she's not really a main character in the sense that our heroes and their rivals are.

    1. The only trainer to have ever owned a Legendary Pokemon in the anime was Pyramid King Brandon who owns all 3 of the Golem Trio: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. All the other Legendary Pokemon are off limits as they are simply too powerful to be caught or it'll set nature off balance and begin planet wide disasters.

    2. Ash has been confirmed to still be 10 and will remain to be 10 as long as he's the main character of the show.

    3. First, there are only 19 Dragon-type Pokemon, only Ghost-type has less but only by 1 (There are 18 Ghost-types). Second, Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type. And third, no main character has caught a Dragon-type simply because many fully evolved Dragon-types are in the uber category (meaning they are very powerful) so it would be like giving a main character a not-so-exciting adventure. However, some of the rivals have Dragon-type Pokemon (Gary has a Kingdra and Drew has a Flygon), and Misty does own a Horsea whose fully evolved form, Kingdra, is a Water/Dragon-type.

    Actually, Serebii just had Abomasnow as their Pokemon of the Week so check out what their research turned out HERE for several move sets and pick one that you like. Click HERE to see it. I'd choose Blizzard, Wood Hammer, Earthquake, and Giga Drain/Leech Seed/Ingrain.

    Does anyone remember when Gamecrazy & any other stores began to let people pay that $5 to *I forgot what its called*(preorder?) for Diamond & Pearl back in 2007? Or has there been news revealing about when Platinum can be preordered??? Since the Release Date is 1 month earlier, shouldn't we be able to "preorder" it by now? I really don't know what the correct term is called!
