Episode PictureThe final episode of Pokémon Sunday, Tobari Gym! Lucario VS Buoysel!! / PokéSun Series Finale - A Release of Famous Scenes, Strange Scenes and Treasured Clips All in One Go! / The PokéSun Company Disbands!?? (トバリジム! ルカリオ対ブイゼル!! / ポケサン最終回、名場面・珍場面・秘蔵映像を一挙放出! / ポケサンカンパニーも解散!??), aired today in Japan. The official Pocket Monsters movie blog has confirmed that a new show called Pokémon Smash! (ポケモンスマッシュ!) will debut on October 3rd, 2010. Pokémon Smash will replace Pokémon Sunday (ポケモン☆サンデー) in the same 7:30am to 8:30am time slot on TV Tokyo. A press conference was held in Tokyo on September 16th to reveal the new show.

The show begins with Golgo and Professor Red carrying a big box together until Golgo sneezes and Red drops it on the ground because its too big for one person to handle. Shoto-tan asks them what they are doing and Golgo replies that they are just cleaning up. Golgo asks "Where Robert is?" and moments later they appear through the main doors each holding a box and each of them pulls out a DVD from the box they were holding.

Golgo then tells Shoko-tan to introduce this weeks Pokémon Selection. This weeks rerun theme was a continuation of last weeks theme titled PokéSun Members Big Success (ポケスンメンバー大活躍!). The Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl episode - Tobari Gym! Lucario VS Buoysel!! was this weeks repeat episode which features Lucario. Satoshi challenges Sumono for a gym badge but she isn't about to let him win easily, nor is her Lucario. A full summary of this episode is available in the episode guide.

With the new anime series Pocket Monsters Best Wishes! (ポケットモンスター ベストウイッシュ) having started earlier in the week, a preview clip for the upcoming 3rd episode of the series titled Mijumaru! Megroco! Close Call!! (ミジュマル!メグロコ!危機一髪!!) was shown.

This was the final episode of Pokémon Sunday and to remember the show over the years, clips from previous episodes were shown as the cast watched and reminisced about their experiences. The first clip presented by Yamamoto was a card battle from episode #286 - Sandwichman to Card Battle (サンドウィッチマンとカードバトル). During the card battle, Date Mikio (伊達みきお) and Tomizawa Takeshi (富澤たけし), battle against Robert. The next clip also featured a TCG card battle, with Robert facing off against Yoshio Kojima (小島よしお) & Eikō Kano (狩野英孝) in episode #273. The clips shows Yoshio loading volleyballs into a volleyball machine to shoot at Robert as an attack. Another card battle clip was shown from episode #278 - Fruit Punch and Robert's Original Pokémon Card Battle! (フルーツポンチとロバートがポケサンオリジナルカードバトル!). During that battle, Robert faced Fruit Punch (フルーツポンチ), a Japanese comedy duo that consists of Kentaro Wataru (亘健太郎) and Takeshi Murakami (村上健志). The clip show Robert throwing buckets of water at Kentaro to represent the TCG attack Torrent Blade (げきりゅうのやいば).

TIM group which includes [Red Yoshida (レッド吉田) & Golgo Matsumoto (ゴルゴ松本)], Robert (ロバート) group which includes [Ryuuji Akiyama (秋山竜次), Hiroshi Yamamoto (山本博) & Hiroyuki Baba (馬場裕之)], as well as Shoko Nakagawa (中川翔子), the cast members from Pokémon Sunday, will be returning to the new show. Lucario, Hikozaru and Yamirami will not be appearing on the show and it appears that they will be replaced by Mijumaru and Zoroark.
