I concider The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon to be a special rather than a normal episode if that's ok. Cabby2 00:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup notice and image orientation change

Okay, this article's a mess. It doesn't look like a proper entry, for one, which I'll provide some fixes for later. Next, the formatting consists mostly of lists, where you could better use tables and such. Also, there's little to tell the reader the essential background history of the special episode. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 22:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

In addition to my statements as I lacked time to state, lacks the tone of a Wikipedia article. Little text and bloated lists are one example. There is, also, little information for readers on it. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 05:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cast Credits

Everywhere on Wikipedia, it says that the same person was played by different actors. Which article has the right (proper) cast? 68.166.230.66 18:38, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know which cast is right. 71.111.215.224 22:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

It seems a lot of the credits were copied off of ANN, which has inconsistent information on the new VA's, some of which looks to be blatantly wrong (I highly doubt Melissa Fahn is in this, as this is an NY-recorded dub). The only reputable looking list I've found is from CrystalAcids, which is a site I know to check information being entered in carefully. Unless there's an official source confirming who's who in the main VA cast I think it would be better to delete VA listings that may be the result of inaccurate guesswork. --EmperorBrandon 18:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you guys know, these are the only people who provided voices in the special based on the credits on Kids' WB's airing of the special:

Actors are first followed by my well thought out guesses on the right:

Billy Beach, Ash/Max
Michelle Knotz, Misty/May
Rodger Parsons, Prof. Oak/Meowth
Bill Rogers, Brock
Billy Regan, Dr. Yung/Mirage Master
Jamie Peacock, James
Diane Stillwell, Jessie
Ikue Ohtani, Pikachu
Phillip Bartlett (uncredited), Narrator
Pokémon's recording archive

What do you think? As for the narrator, my brother and I are very sure it's the old narrator. I don't have a clue who voiced Jenny and Joy though. Cabby2 20:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Kayzie Rogers Ash/Max and Jenny
Michele Knotz Jessie/Misty and May
Billy Beach James/Oak and Meowth
Bill Rogers Brock/Combusken and Corphish
Rodger Parsons Narrator
Diane Stillwell Nurse Joy
Ikue Ohtani Pikachu

I know you know this but I thought it would be fun Matthew Cantrell (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This page is still a mess

It's looking a little better, but still, we don't need a point-by-point recap of every tiny little thing that happened, just a general summary. I'd rewrite it, but that's a lot of work. Anyone up for it? -- Lampbane 02:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

It's been needing a cleanup for a long time, actually. The recap is a problem, but the Cast List degrades the quality of the article even more. Cleanup notices have been added, and then removed / ignored. It's not tolerable. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 00:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Do you think we should just remove the cast list for now? People will continue to fight over it and this one guy is using unsourced statements like crazy, I think it really drags things down. -- Lampbane 00:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Insignificant things like entire staff lists are unnecessary and don't meet to the tone of an article, hence they need to be removed. --Tetsuya-san (talk : contribs) 06:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CPM had nothing to do with this special

Central Park Media has absolutely NOTHING to do with the special. It was TAJ Productions who dubbed it and Pokemon USA who produced it. Period. -- Lampbane 20:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
