An astute Pokemon fan has discovered a curious fact from an episode of the anime's "Orange Islands" arc that has not happened since in the show's English version. The anime adaptation of the massively popular monster-catching franchise has seen a long run since its debut in 1997. Throughout its many different seasons and generations, the Pokemon anime has aired more than 1,000 episodes and produced more than 20 feature-length films starring its iconic cast of creatures. However, the anime has seen a rocky relationship with one Pokemon in particular.
