The narrator started by announcing all the segments that would be on today's show and then said: "Okay! It's time for a Pokémon Entertainment Show! Pokémon Smash!". Golgo started the show by asking Shoko-tan which she you choose: Black or White? Shoko-tan chose 'White' and Professor Red chose 'Black'.

This week was a Special Edition of the Pokémon Library (ポケモンライブラリー特別編). Pokémon Smash! rebroadcast 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！！) due to the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami that disrupted many people's schedules and as a result they were unable to see the original airing of the episode. The episode originally aired on March 17th, 2011 only a few days after the Sendai Earthquake and tsunami. There was no episode theme this week and Professor Red did his usual "OK! Pokémon Library" go-to line.
