I remember pretty much all the old episodes...
I remember perfectly all the Kanto/Orange Islands episodes and about half of Jotho ones.
That's about what I remember. After that, I kinda quit watching, only catching a few episodes here and there. Johto took friggin forever.

I remember pretty much all Kanto based episodes, sadly this includes the more crappy ones towards the end like that bloody Humungadunga surfing episode.

yup, gen 1 was marvelous. Will never ever forget any of those episodes. After that it gets kinda.... off beat.

If by crappy you mean awesome, then I agree.

Awesome is a position reserved for such feats as Magmar getting seismic tossed into a volcano and Primeape delivering brutal beat downs of furious rage.
Not random surfer guy trying to shove some flag in a rock while Ash nearly drowns for the umpteenth time, it's like a pokemon anime running joke.
The May 17th Best Wishes episode title has been revealed.
Ash has his Iccirus City gym battle with Brycen.
Also, the May 3rd episode sounds like Tepig will evolve. Just as that ending spoiled.

So with the 7th Gym Battle already, it makes me wonder how the series will continue after the Unova League. Will we get N and Team Plasma?

The Team Plasma episode's been delayed for over a year; I doubt we'll ever get it. We know that Ash meets BW2's Poison-type Gym Leader, Homika, in an early June episode, so maybe they'll be on to a new saga by then.
I know the original Team Plasma episodes were delayed thanks to the earthquake, and like that Barboach & Whiscash episode we'll probably never get them. I meant a different story involving Team Plasma.
Though BW2 sounds like the logical next step.

Didn't they have a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon miniseries? I wouldn't mind if they had a Pokemon Conquest one at all.

You guys are lucky. I remember tons of little details from episodes all over the show, even ones I've seen once or twice. The other day somehow I recalled the name of the guy who dances with Jessie in Movie 8 whose name was only mentioned on the official Japanese website. 
I think I've only not seen the last 20 episodes of Diamond and Pearl (I took a break from the anime for awhile, and now I can't find them online) and a few episodes here and there in Johto and Hoenn, but fuck me, I've seen the whole show almost.
--------------------------
They had three 30-minute specials on Pokemon Sunday (basically Smash's prequel series, same idea though) for one for Red and Blue Rescue Team, one for Explorers of Time and Darkness, and one for Explorer of Time.
Ranger is the only spin-off series that regularly gets brought up in the main show, with a movie and multiple specials dedicated to it.

Pokémon Snap got a few oblique bits of representation in the anime, back in the day.
On that note, NEW SNAP GAME PLEASE.

Snap even popped back up in that Johto three-parter about Articuno, for some reason.
And in Special during the Emerald Arc...:/

If they make a new Snap game, it must
A) Be on the 3DS for portable snappin'
B) Include all/most of the currently existing Pokémon
C) Have multiplayer/leaderboards/picture sharing
D) Be waaaaaaay longer than 2 hours
I loved Snap, but these things could make the formula even better.

There were a couple of Ranger episodes, weren't there? I still need to play Ranger 3. It's my favourite spin-off series. TCG doesn't count, it's not a series
Yeah...there was one with Celebi, one with Deoxys, one with Riolu, and one with Heatran, plus Movie 9 and two little 5 minute shorts for the 3rd game.
The Riolu episodes, a two-parter, is probably one of the coolest episodes in the whole series, especially the ending of Part 1 where the bad guy (Hunter J) shoots fire at a bush that Ash hid in and you hear him and Pikachu scream. He survives, of course, but it's a rather violent cliffhanger for the show.

Wasn't that the one where she tried to crush Ash with rocks, throttle him with her Drapion and throw him out of the airship to his death?
The closest thing to dark the anime has done, without a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah, J in general was pretty dark and despicable. She was definitely the best part of the otherwise-kind-of-meh Galactic Battle series.

They were cool, but I can see why they stopped doing it with the DS games. They're so small and you barely can see the cart while it's in the system anyways...
Black one as well.

Well Black was... black, as Bulbapedia astutely notes...

Both of them are black because they (as well as the HGSS carts) have IR transmitters/receivers in them. No other reason
lol
And they aren't actually black. They're a dark, transparent purple. Hold it up to the light if you don't believe me.
A fact worthy of Thanks, Bulbapedia.

If Homika's gym doesn't resemble a massive rock n roll stage, I'm gonna be so disappointed.

PokéDex 3D Pro looks really boss. I can't wait to see 3D Munchlax and Gallade!

Not only do these look good, but they make me almost certain that a 3DS game is just around the corner.

Almost?
They announced it right there!
Face Raiders but with Pokemon doesn't count as a game.

It's like a cross between Face Raiders and the PokéWalker, considering that you can transfer Pokémon caught while playing into BW2.

Why do these really make me want to buy?
However, release it for cheaper than in Japan, or don't release it at all, NoE. £12 is not a cool price.

Maybe it'll have move tutors, since BW2 might not.
Who said that?
It's my fear, that since BW2 is being pushed as a new game and not a third release title, that they'll skip on something like new move tutors. Just skeptical fear on my part, which means very little.
