Pokémon Get TV - Episode 2
The Get TV crew celebrated the launch of the latest games Pocket Monsters X and Y which were released the day before on October 12th, 2013. Clips from the game were shown followed by clips from the new anime. The announcer then showed upcoming scenes from this episode.
This episodes special guests were then revealed as Mikie Hara (原幹恵), a Japanese gravure idol and actress who is best known for her debut role in Cutie Honey: The Live as Honey Kisaragi. Joining her was the trio comedy group Panther (パンサー) which consists of Ryotaro Kan (菅良太郎), Satoshi Mukai (向井慧), Takahiro Ogata (尾形貴弘). Yukito Nishii then began explaining about this episode main segment which was about the Mysterious Organization "FPI". He explained that FPI stood for FUSHIGINA POKEMON NO NAZO IROIROSHIRABETAI (The Bureau of Investigation of Various Strange Pokémon Mysteries)（不思議な ポケモンの謎 いろいろ調べ隊）, basically a play on the FBI. He then said the FPI had investigated the new Pocket Monsters XY anime that was airing on October 17th, 2013.
The FPI Special Agent was introduced and their role to investigate Pokémon in all aspects was explained. The Special Agent went to visit OLM, the animation company responsible for the Pocket Monsters anime. The special agent met "reporter" Eiji Kotoge (小峠英二) from the comedy duo Viking (バイきんぐ) outside and the two of them came to an agreement to work together.
The FPI Special Agent began his investigation by seeing what the staff does at OLM. He then spotted artwork from the new XY anime, specifically the main city, Miare City. A clip from the first episode was then shown which featured Satoshi and Pikachu exploring the city. The FPI special agent then spotted an artist drawing something and he wanted to know what it was. The artist then explained that it was a Keromatsu (ケロマツ). The FPI agent had not seen it before and wanted the artist make it move. The artist then took him to another artist who had a hand drawn flipbook and she showed Keromatsu move by flipping the pages. The narrator then explained the process of taking the handrawn images and then coloring them on the computer. The finalized clip of Keromatsu was then showcased and it was revealed that Keromatsu would make its anime debut in XY episode 1. Citron (シトロン ), Eureka (ユリーカ) and Serena (セレナ) were also showcased.
The FPI Special Agent then showed a picture of a person he was looking for. He then asked a staff member who indicated who it was and they finally found Tetsuo Yajima (矢嶋哲生), who has been the director of the anime since Best Wishes. The FPI special agent asked him the following questions in English which Kotoge translated into Japanese and Yajima answered.
When does Satoshi become a Pokémon Master? I can't answer that question. (それは内緒です)
Would you make animation of me. My daughter is a huge fun[sic] of Pokémon. That can be arranged. (それは大丈夫です)
Yajima then talked about Satoshi arriving in the Kalos region. The FPI agent then heads off to the next spot.
After the commercial break, This episode's installment of the PokéTV Challenge (ポケ☆テレ チャレンジ！！！) started. The first challenge activity was another installment of "Brainbuster Quiz! PokéRiddle" (頭お目覚めクイズ！ポケナゾ) , with a set of Pikachu, Hitokage, Zenigame and Fushigidane MonColle figures being given out as a prize to a viewer at home if all the hosts got the correct answer.
Unfortunately, Ogata never got the answer right before time ran out. Another riddle was presented instead.
The next challenge activity was "Read in Reverse! Nmokepo-rap" (逆から読んで！ンモケポラップ). Contestants were given the name of a Pokémon and they had 3 seconds to say the name as written in the reverse order (in Japanese, with katakana). For example: Hitokage (ヒトカゲ) would be Gekatohi (ゲカトヒ). If the participants made it through two Pokémon each without failing more than once, a Nymphia plushie would be given away to a viewer.
Ogata failed on the Yanyanma question, but the group managed the rest of the Pokémon without any further mistakes, thus winning a lucky viewer a plushie.
After the commercial break, the FPI segment continued at 55 Barbizon, Shibuya where the voice acting recording takes place for the anime. Rica Matsumoto (松本梨香), the voice of Satoshi, Yuki Kaji (梶裕貴), the voice of Citron (シトロン), Mariya Ise (伊瀬 茉莉也), the voice of Eureka (ユリーカ) and Mayuki Makiguchi (牧口真幸), the voice of Serena (セレナ役) were there for a recording session for the XY anime.
