Meowth's Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Meowth's Party was an interactive technical demo showcased at the 2000 SpaceWorld convention, demonstrating the Nintendo GameCube's graphic capabilities[1]. In the demo, Meowth is seen entertaining guests at a party with his red guitar. The demo featured Pokémon from the Red, Blue, Silver and Gold versions of the Pokémon video games. The demo was created by the same team who created Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64.

The Meowth in the demo is very likely the Meowth in the anime series, as the anime series itself incorporated footage from the demo in one of its credit sequences (episodes 117-141), where Meowth is seen dancing with associates, Team Rocket members Jessie and James, and their two Pokémon, Arbok and Weezing.[2] In both versions, he likewise shares the same seiyuu as the TV series' Meowth, Inuko Inuyama, who voices the character in the Japanese version of the anime series (where the character is known as Nyasu). This ending sequence was later dubbed into English and showcased in the U.S. version of the TV series, although it originally aired in its original Japanese form on Kids WB.[3]
