[edit] 3rd April --> 10th April 2006/Buizeru
125px|center
Buizeru (ブイゼル Buoysel) in Japanese) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri.
Buizeru was revealed in March 2006 alongside Tamanta and Perappu, after fans were teased with a silhouette of the three Pokémon in Coro Coro magazine in February 2006. It is scheduled to appear in the 9th Pokémon movie Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy, as well as Pokémon Diamond and Pearl on the Nintendo DS. Although not much is known about the "buoy" Pokémon, it has been confirmed that is a "Sea Weasel" Pokémon and is a pure Water-type.
[edit] 27th March 2006 --> 3rd April 2006/Cerulean Sisters
center|thumb|From left: Violet, Daisy and Lily.
Daisy, Lily and Violet are the three sisters of Misty, the Cerulean City Gym-leader, who are only featured in the Pokémon anime. The three sisters boss around their younger sister, ignoring their Gym responsibilities, often giving out free Cascade Badges, the sign of victors against the Cerulean Gym-leader, while Misty travels with Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of the anime.
When Misty tempoarily returned to Cerulean City, the "Sensational Sisters" asked for help in an aquariam show to help save the gym, which is inevitably interrupted by Team Rocket. Misty uses her Pokémon co-stars to defeat Jessie, James and Meowth, leading the audience to believe it was part of the show.
Once Misty returned to Cerulean City permanently, during the Pokémon Chronicles saga, she took over managing the gym, allowing the sisters more time to pursue their movie careers. However, while Violet and Lily decided to follow their dreams of fame, Daisy preferred to stay with Misty at the gym, often being the third character in the Cerulean City episodes of Pokémon Chronicles, after Misty and Tracey Sketchit, and owns a Luvdisc called Luverin, which has romantic feelings for Misty's Luvdisc, Casurin.
[edit] 20th March 2006 --> 27th March 2006/Hoenn Group

The Hoenn group, pictured above from left to right, Brock, Ash Ketchum, May and Max , are the main characters of the Advanced Generation of the Pokémon anime, set in the Hoenn region. Two new characters were introduced in this series, May, the new female Pokémon Trainer, replacing Misty, and Max, her younger brother.
Many viewers dislike the Advanced Generation series comprising of Pokémon: Advanced, Pokémon: Advance Challenge and Pokémon:Advance Battle, because Ash's team tended to pull away from region starters, focusing more on strong common, Pokémon such as Swellow, Glalie and Torkoal. Another problem with the series was the removal of Misty, a firm favourite among Ash/Misty shippers. The complaints most likely spurred the writers to make Misty one of the main characters in Pokémon Chronicles.
[edit] 13th March 2006 (creation) --> 20th March 2006/Butch & Cassidy
center|200px
Butch and Cassidy, Jessie, James and Meowth's rivals in the Team Rocket pecking order, the antagonistic pairing are personal favourites of Giovanni, compared to Jessie & James, who Giovanni sent to Hoenn to get away from the rest of Team Rocket.
Butch and Cassidy first appeared in the Indigo League series, running a fake day-care centre for Pokémon, forcing the Pokémon to evolve and stealing notable ones for their boss. They appeared next in the Orange Islands saga, forcing the Team Rocket we know and love to help "the twerps" defeat the enemy.
A running gag in the episodes (and later in Pokémon Chronicles, where they are the staple antagonists), is the mix-up of Butch's name, usually involving calling him something else, such as Botch, Bill or Bob.
