History

English dub

In the English dub, Who'southward That Pokémon? was originally used from the episodes Pokémon - I Choose Yous! to Watt'south with Wattson?; the segment afterward returned in In the Shadow of Zekrom!, after an almost seven-year absenteeism. It occurs before and later on the main commercial intermission during the episode. The silhouette of a Pokémon is shown, with someone ordinarily request the audition to guess the Pokémon that belongs to the given outline. After the commercial break, the proper noun of the Pokémon is revealed, usually with the current principal characters shouting the name of the Pokémon, every bit well as the cry of the Pokémon shown. The segment was retired at the cease of the sixth season of the anime and was replaced with Pokémon Trainer's Option, which was dropped from the dub later two seasons. At the commencement of Pokémon the Series: Black & White, it did not initially feature the Pokémon's cry afterwards being revealed, although this returned in Triple Leaders, Squad Threats!. For unknown reasons, Who's That Pokémon? was removed from the CITV airings of the first 2 episodes of Pokémon the Series: Blackness & White, and all post-obit episodes use a slight international variation, showing the silhouette of the Pokémon at the mid-manner point of the episode (equally would exist expected), and and so revealing the Pokémon just earlier the end credits.

Early in its run, Who's That Pokémon? would feature a Pokémon who played a major office in that episode. In tardily Kanto it switched to featuring a Pokémon that played a major role in the following episode, although this wasn't always the case. When Johto League Champions began, Who's That Pokémon? became random, with the featured Pokémon playing a prominent role in that episode being a very rare occasion. Usually, the Pokémon featured would non announced in the episode at all, nor would it always indicate a Pokémon beingness featured in a following episode. Also offset with that season, the dub added a brusk hint onscreen to aid in the identification of the Pokémon until the end of the sixth season. When the feature returned in Pokémon the Series: Black & White, it originally featured a Pokémon that played a prominent role in the following episode before later switching to a Pokémon with a prominent role in that episode, offset with A Sandile Gusher of Change!.

In line with the original Japanese version, the segment was slightly altered in Journeys, where instead of seeing the silhouette of a Pokémon, the viewer is shown a magnified part of their torso. Ash Ketchum reads out the segment, only does not exclaim the answer.

In Pokémon the Series: XY, the segment is slightly modified. Now called Pokémon Quiz, the segment presents the viewer with four flashcards bearing different silhouettes and asks them to identify the correct Pokémon. Usually, one card is Team Rocket equally a decoy choice. The segment in one case again returned to the typical Who'southward That Pokémon? in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.
