DP088: The Pokémon Summer School Begins!
Airdate: August 7th, 2008

Ash and his friends decide to enter a summer school program which lasts for one week, taking place near Mt. Coronet. Professor Rowan and Conway (Tag Battle Tournament) make a re-appearance.

Newtype summary is also up:
Ash and his friends have decided to participate in a Pokémon summer school. At this event, many trainers gather and spend time together for one week while learning various things about Pokémon. The trainers' first task is to choose a random Pokeball, raise/train the Pokémon contained and battle with it.

Script: Shouji Yonemura
Animation: Kunihiko Natsume
 
Mhm, I saw that on Bulbapedia, earlier today ;D. Honestly, it sounds kind of cool. I mean, Conway's re-appearing, and, like, that's, like, so awesome. I hope Dawn will learn not to focus on only one Pokémon! <~
 
Huh, this sounds... Rather boring... OH well, I bet tit will still be good. But summer school? That's really random. I wonder what the Pokemon the raise or train will be...

Conway? From the Tag Battle Tournament? Dude! I think that will make the episode bettr. I was wondering if he'd appear again...

So, sounds boring, probably won't be.
 
sounds interesting with conway and that pokeball task should be a good one
 
I find it so interesting! I'm very intrigued to know what will happen. Like what pokemon will be inside of the pokeball and how will they train it?

Considering Natsume is animating it I seriously expect some amazing comedy.:D
 
Ash and friends are going to summer camp? Sounds like ripe potential for a Heavyweights parody. Or maybe Ernest Goes to Camp. Either one yields a winner.

I totally pegged Conway as a one-off character at first, so this certainly raises the potential for the return of Holly sometime down the road, also. Hopefully Dawn's Pokeball contains something cool. Y'know, like Probopass.
 
Wow, hopefully this means in a later episode Holly can return too. That way the writers would finally have an excuse for Brock to leave the series at the end of D/P.

I've been hoping that Holly ends up being the girl that Brock finally runs off with...it would be the best reason for him to stop traveling with Ash too.
 
ppl who says its Boring,Only cos no one is evolving...
You know in this episode,,I heard a rumour ash is going to choose Chimar/Turtwig for a possible Evolution when it battles and trains,

Wait, so is the "random pokemon" one of the ones that the Trainer would have already or one provided by the program? It's a little unclear on that issue.

If the pokemon does end up being one from the trainer's own team I hope Ash ends up picking Chimchar, he'd seem like the perfect candidate for this sort of thing due to all the extra attention he seems to need.

Have to wonder what happens to the pokemon afterward if it's the other way, though . . .

I agree, it's a little unclear to whether is a pokemon from their team or just another random one. And I also wish he ends up using Chimchar.
 
hmm this episode sounds wierd it dosn't sound right but at the same time sound cool if it a real episode
maybe it will a arc of somthing and maybe they get to keep the pokemon
 
here's another question, do they get to keep the pokemon they get?

And don't say they can't off the bat either cause this airs after the movie so anything is possible.
 
This may be obvious, but the word "Begins" in the title, in addition to the summary only describing the first task leads me to believe that this will turn into a multiple-episode arc. Hopefully this will lead to something big.

And I'm going to assume it's just a random vendor trash Pokemon from the school's hoard, considering how each trainer is being observed on how they train and battle with a Pokemon, and having them each start at the first step makes the most sense.
 
sounds like a decent ep conway reappearance and a good idea i hope that it means from the person's team the pokemon is randomly selected cause i personally see all this pokemon being young pokemon for a summer school/camp (whatever it is) there could be eggs lying around and dawn gets one idk i hope if its from the team chimchar gets picked, conway shows a new pokemon ( idr if it told us what conway's goal of shinnoh was is he a trainer trying to get to the league is is he a contest guy or is he some random character) btw i find it really funny how conway shows up in the newest episode thats been realease because i was just looking for a character bio for him yesterday and couldnt find one) i see this being a group of eps like the tag battle thing hopefully something big happens like in the thing this could lead to chimchar learning to control blaze if its there pokemon and maybe evolving. Maybe Paul will appear i know it really dont sound like his kind of thing but it could lead to chimchar vs magmar battle
 
If this is multi arc than that would be great. It sounds interesting and to see Conway back, that's even better. Not to mention, an appearance by Prof. Rowen is good too.

If the pokeball is from the trainer, then I hope Ash gets to use Chimchar since it would be a great development thing (and it kinda would make sense since Ash was focused on Chimchar during the Tag Battle arc where Conway first appeared). Or if it is a pokeball that the summer school just randomly gives out, I hope it's a cool and interesting pokemon.
 
Summer School? I don't know if I'll be looking foward to this episode. Hopefully we'll get a preview soon that'll change my mind. Hopefully something of interest will occur.

The trainers' first task is to choose a random Pokeball, raise/train the Pokémon contained and battle with it.

I'm betting either Chimchar or Gliscor if I read that correctly. By random Pokeball do they mean the trainers Pokemon (jumbled up so they choose a random Pokeball) or is it like that one episode where Ash had to use Weezing, Arbok, and Meowth?
