TV Tokyo's up-to-date TV guide changed the title of the Pocket Monsters Best Wishes episode to air Thursday March 17th, 2011. Rather than the previously announced The Rocket Gang VS the Plasma Gang! (Part One) (ロケット団VSプラズマ団！(前編)), which was still scheduled up until the week before, the episode aired was 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！！), featuring Satoshi's battle with the Hiun City Gym Leader Arti.
TV Tokyo mentioned the episodes would aired at a later date, but did not give any further information on when.
"Due to unfortunate circumstances, "The Rocket Gang VS the Plasma Gang!" episodes that were scheduled to air have been postponed. We plans to look over the episodes and air them again at some point. We'll announce the new air date on the home page as soon as it's been decided." (※放送を予定していました「ロケット団ＶＳプラズマ 団！」は、都合により放送延期になりました。今後、また改めて放送する予定です。日程は決まり次第、 ホームページ上等で発表します。)

As BW17-BW20 aired yesterday in Taiwan, the next 4 episode block will air on June 24th. Best Wishes schedule on Chunghwa Telecom MOD (中華電信MOD) has been 4 episodes of the last Friday on the month, and http://www.pikatw.com/ states that BW21-24 (original numbering) which would include the two Rocket Gang episodes are scheduled to air. Korea should be getting pretty close to these episodes as well, so will see later on in June if these episodes premiere outside of Japan first or not.

What confirmation is there that the episodes are airing in October? Or is that a typo on the front page?
There is no confirmation which is why there is ?? in the air date. Our best guess from rumors is that it will air at that time.

And by "rumors" we generally just mean "a wild guess". All we know is "they will air", so we just make a guess, then switch it to a new guess when it becomes clear the old guess was wrong. It's just to keep those titles on the "upcoming episodes" list, really.

Since you didn't post anything about it, I take it the said episodes didn't air in Korea, right?

No both Korea and Taiwan skipped the episode airing. Korea seems to be following the English dub numbering scheme currently. As of the beginning of August 2011, it was only 4 episodes behind Japan and BW26 did air in Korea.
