Understanding "Seasons" of the Pokémon TV Show
February 13th, 2018

Dogasu @ 23:56 JST -- Something that always comes up whenever fans talk about the Pokémon dub is what exactly people mean when they say "Season One." Is it the actual, 52 episode season as it aired on Kids' WB!? Or is it the new opening = new season idea that so many fans latch onto? I'm personally very much in the former camp and have created a new page called Understanding "Seasons" of the Pokémon TV Show to explain why we should probably get out of the habit of thinking that Season One is made up of 80 episodes.

One of the goals of Dogasu's Backpack is to educate fans on topics that they didn't even know they wanted to think about and this breakdown of what makes up a season is right up that alley. As always, let me know what you think via one of the links below!
