A new news article has been posted!
This episode of Get TV was their Christmas special for 2014. On the show was three special guests: Ryuuji Akiyama (秋山竜次), Hiroshi Yamamoto (山本博) and Hiroyuki Baba (馬場裕之). They are members of the Japanese comedy trio group Robert (ロバート) which was formed in 1998. They were also the co-hosts of Pokémon Sunday and Pokémon Smash for 9 years. On November 22nd, 2014, Shoko-tan Tweeted a picture of her and Robert on the set of Get TV. A special Kids d Get Winter Treasure Hunt! (キッズd 冬のお宝ゲット祭り!) data broadcast was introduced by the cast of Get TV before the commercial break. as part of a multiprogram TV Tokyo promotion.


After Robert is introduced, Toshi rhetorically asks Yamamoto if he is really good at Pokémon. Yamamoto responds by saying that he has over 6000 disciples now. For quite awhile, Yamamoto has had people message him on Twitter from all over the world to become one of his disciples. He had one guy write to him in Arabian saying: "Make me your disciple, Hiroshi." Akiyama commented and said that thre's no doubt people love the Yamamoto.

The rerun episode was: Agehunt and Dokucale! After the Evolution! (アゲハントとドクケイル!進化の果てに!). Robin gave Yukito30 seconds to try to explain the episode with cue cards but wasn't able to complete his summary in the 30 seconds allotted.

As Satoshi and his friends continue their hard training at Muro Island, they are attacked by the Rocket Gang, who attempt to steal their Pokémon. During the subsequent battle, Haruka's "Cocoon Pokémon" Karasalis evolves into the "Butterfly Pokémon" Agehunt!! Haruka is overjoyed at this evolution she had been looking forward to, but Musashi from the Rocket Gang is not amused. She has been carefully raising her Mayuld, which is similarly a "Cocoon Pokémon", but it shows absolutely no sign of evolving. After losing to Satoshi and the others, Musashi starts training Mayuld, but none of the Pokémon the Rocket Gang currently have on hand are strong enough to make for good sparring partners. Wanting to fight strong Pokémon in order to evolve Mayuld, Musashi challenges Satoshi and his friends one again, but...!?

As a special VTR, Robert were sent out to visit three people that sent in a postcard and surprise them with Christmas gifts. Akiyama dressed up as Santa Claus and Baba dressed up as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Yamamoto was dressed as the sled which the camera pans out to show Akiyama sitting on Yamamoto.

Their first stop was 11 year old Yuto Kashiwagi(柏木悠斗). Yuto-kun likes to cook and after Robert was invited in, he made them a plate of Naporitan Spagetti (ナポリタン スパゲティ). Baba tried it an liked it.

As part of the segment, Robert got Yuto-kun to participate in their "Cooking Quiz: Fusion" (お料理クイズ ポケたし). "ポケたし" is Pokemon+choitashi, the process of experimenting with food by adding a tiny bit of something not ordinarily used with that type of food in order to create a new and exciting taste. As part of the quiz, Yuto-kun and each of his family members would need to identify a dish prepared for them by Baba made from Pokémon edible goods. They all identified the Pokémon Curry (ポケモンカレー). The next dish was Soy Pokémon Noodles(ポケモンヌードル) but with plum paste (梅干を練ったもの) added in. Once again all the family members managed to correctly figure out the ingredient. Yuto-kun was presented with a lot of gifts including Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

The next stop was to 11 year old Kanta Miyanaga (宮永貫太). His mom and sister were also there and were going to participate in the quiz until Akiyama had something else in mind. He then too them to a nearby venue and revealed that they would be participating in the "Cooking Quiz Poketashi" (ピッタリ止めろ ポケソリ). A track and push cart were setup with a few obstacles including 5 Styrofoam walls, a fan, hanging smelly socks. Kanta and his family pushed Sled Yamamoto but were unsuccessful the first time. The second time Baba and Akiyama helped but they only got Yamamoto to the smelly socks. On the third attempt, they finally were able to push him all the way to the end. Kanta-kun and his family also got a gift pack.

The third and final visit was to 7 year old Miku Imano (今野深玖). This time it was Akiyama's imitation quiz where he began acting out a person or Pokémon for her family to figure out. Akiyama did impressions of Michael Jackson but used a picture of Tatsuo Umemiya (梅宮辰夫), Satoshi with a Monster Ball, Kekking, Koiking, and finally Takahiro Suzuki for which Akiyama used a picture that Miku had drawn. Miku got a bunch of plushies as well as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

The climax of the episode was a battle between Akiyama and Yamamoto VS Office Chief Taka and Producer Toshi in an ORAS Double Battle. Yamamoto and Baba were surprised when Shoko-tan announced it would be Akiyama that would be battling. The battle started off with Yamamoto sending out Runpappa while Akiyama sent out Ziguzaguma. Taka sent out Dirteng while Toshi sent out Kyogre. In typical Akiyama battling, he didn't last long and both his Ziguzaguma and then his Mizugorou quickly got knocked out leaving Yamamoto to fend for himself in a Double Battle. Despite being outnumbered, Yamamoto showed his skill with his Runpappa and Lugia to defeat Taka and Toshi.
