List of Pokémon: Advanced Battle episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of episodes in Pokémon: Advanced Battle, the eighth season of the Pokémon animated series (ポケットモンスター Poketto Monsutā?, Pocket Monsters), covering the continuing adventures of series protagonist Ash Ketchum in Hoenn.
The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States either in syndication, on the WB Television Network or on Cartoon Network. (Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order.) Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English.
This season aired first-run episodes in Japan from September 9, 2004, to September 29, 2005. In the United States, it aired from in September 17, 2005 to July 8, 2006. It aired in the United States as part of the 2005-2006 Kids' WB! Saturday morning line-up. This is the last season of Pokemon dubbed into English by 4Kids Entertainment, and, as such, the last season dubbed by the original voice cast.
In the Japanese Version, The Episode "The Scheme Team" was The last performance of The Late Voice Actor Hirotaka Suzuoki as Giovanni in pokemon series before his death one year later.
