logoThe Sunday morning variety show Pokémon Smash! (ポケモンスマッシュ!) has announced that they will be rebroadcasting Pocket Monsters Best Wishes 25 - Hiun Gym Match! Purehearted Bug Pokémon Battle!! (ヒウンジム戦! 純情ハートの虫ポケモンバトル!!) on Smash episode #27 which airs April 10th, 2011. They will also be rebroadcasting Pocket Monsters Best Wishes 27 - Beware of the Cute Face! Paralyzed by Emonga!! (かわいい顔に要注意!エモンガでシビレビレ!!) on Smash episode #28 which airs April 17th, 2011. Both episodes are being rebroadcast due to the Sendai Earthquake/tsunami that disrupted many people's schedules and as a result they were unable to see the original airings of those episodes. No information was revealed about the first airings of BW23, 24 or 26 which were skipped.

This has gotta be the shortest amount of time between original broadcast and Smash/Sunday rerun to date.

I was really excited for a second, as I thought it was BW23, 24 and 26 which were going to be broadcast in Pokémon Smash. Guess it's just too late for that, and it would have been strange for the episode to be broadcast during that program.
I don't understand why they're rebroadcasting BW25 and 27, especially since they just aired less than a month ago.

Hope we'll get more news on the Rocket Gang episode soon!

As the article states, many missed out on the initial broadcast of those two episodes due to the earthquake. this way, they're allowing everyone to see them.

The skipped episodes will likely be aired in the regular slot, rather than on Smash. These are all-new episodes of the anime as far as the viewers are concerned, so airing them as regular episodes rather than stuffing them away on a spin-off show that gets half the ratings the regular show does makes little sense.

Yeah, you're right. I just happened to read that article a bit too quickly... my bad.
