Home/Episode Guide/Sailing Joy! Cross the Stormy Sea! / Reporting from the Pokémon World Championships / Director Shoko-tan heads for the 'Locarno Film Festival'/セイリングジョーイ!あらなみをこえて! ポケモンワールドチャンピオンシップス世界大会をリポート しょこたん部長が「ロカルノ映画祭」に出動
In today's episode of Pokémon Sunday, Professor Red and Director Golgo travel to the 2009 Pokémon World Video Game and TCG Championships in San Diego. Professor Red spent his time there trading cards with various contestants while Director Golgo traded some of his Japanese Pokémon with players from around the world.
Shoko Nakagawa did a Pokémon Sunday Journal at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland as she was there to promote the latest movie. Director/Executive Producer Kunihiko Yuyama and producers Masakazu Kubo and Kenjiro Ito were also on hand.
The rerun serial "Pokémon Selection" continued the "Interesting characters assembly" theme, with today's episode focusing on the Orange Islands Nurse Joy, who visits the islands to help sick and injured Pokémon.
I loved this episode as it really went behind the scenes of the film festival and the 2009 World championships. There were some really funny parts with Red and Golgo. I especially like the part where Professor Red was trading cards with some of the participants and the one kid wanted the Lucario card but Red hid the card by flipping a bunch over. The kid owned him and just flipped over all the cards to find the one he wanted.
Havent watched the movie yet at the cinema, after this show, it got me really interested :) The World Champoinships was looked really fun! Congrats to the contest winners who got to go there!
Just need time to go down to my local cinema now. (its far away) :D
