Pokémon Smash 66
The announcer introduced the show by saying: "Today we'll get you Pokémon Quiz Caravan. Right here on Pokémon Smash! So, let's get started!". Golgo and the entire Pokémon Smash crew greeted the viewers with a "PokéMorning!". Golgo told everyone that January 8th (１月８日 ichigatsu yōka, though note that the nomber 8 by itself is read as "hachi") is Sink or Swim Day (イチかバチか ichikabachika), or in other words, a day of tempting fate. He wanted Robert to play a little game on this theme of tempting fate, and had raised a metal wash pan up in the air with three strings nearby. Only one of them was actually holding up the wash pan and they would each take turns cutting a string to see if the pan fell on them or not.

To motivate them, Golgo decided he'd give out two stationary cards that had Pokémon art on them as New Year's gifts. Akiyama was the first to go and he picked 2. Professor Red cut the string and the pan stayed in the air and Akiyama got one of the cards. Yamamoto was next and he picked 1 and the pan fell on his head.
Shoko-tan introduced this weeks rerun episode as part of the Pokémon Library. The theme for the episode was: Looks can be deceiving!(人はみかけによらない！). This weeks Pokémon Library rerun episode was We Pichu Brothers 'The Lesser Detective Nyarth has Arrived!' 'Niece Ruriri is a Major Pain?' (迷探偵ニャース参上！／メイッコルリリは大迷惑?) from the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station series. A full summary of that episode is available in the episode guide. Professor Red said his go-to line 'OK! Pokémon Library!' to start the repeat episode.
After the Pokémon Library episode, Victini Yamamoto showed up, but quickly changed the "V" on its head upside down once again to make a "へ (he)", thus transforming into へ Yamamoto. へ Yamamoto told the crew they would be playing a "stop the differences" quiz like the one from the Quiz Caravan; he had changed 5 things around in the Pokémon Enterprise set and wondered if they could find them. The crew began looking around for the changes. Hana was the first to spot a change as she noticed that the logo for P.E. (Pokémon Enterprise) was changed to H.E (he へ). Maria then spotted that the picture of Victini had been changed to へ Yamamoto. Baba noticed that "POKABU" had been changed to "He yamamoto" on the side wall. Shoko-tan noticed that the scallsword (hotachi ホタチ) on her belt had been changed to a へ. Their time was up though and they didn't get the 5th one, the most obvious one - Yamamoto himself.

Professor Red and Golgo then introduced the VTR for the Quiz Caravan. For this quiz they visited Tachikawa City Elementary School, Tokyo (東京都 立川市立 上砂川小学校) where 114 grade 3 students awaited them. The first segment of the quiz was the 'Black/White Quiz' (ブラックホワイトクイズ). The kids were all on their own this time but were also divided up into two main groups and they would move to either the Black (X) or White (O) side when the questions were asked.
Below are the questions that were asked in Round 1:
As all the kids were answering the exact same way at all questions, they were all eliminated at the third question, so Professor Red came up with the special question none of them could possibly do anything other than guess at in order to properly eliminate some team members. A new event was introduced in this episode: the Tornelos/Voltolos/Landlos Dress-up Dash Relay Quiz! (トルネロス ボルトロス ランドロスなりきりダッシュリレークイズ!). One kid would dress up as Tornelos, Voltolos or Landlos and sit in a cloud. The kids would have to count the number of Pokémon on a chart and then pull the dressed up kid across the yard to Red or Golgo and report how many Pokémon they counted. If they got it wrong, they had to go back and start over.

The final event was the Victini's V-Generate Find the Differences Obstacle Course Quiz (ビクティニのＶジェネレート障害物まちがいさがしクイズ). Participants would wear a helmet with a V shaped container that had balls in them. They would have to go through the obstacle course while trying not to drop the balls. The first part was finding a candy ball in a flour pan, the second part was looking in a mirror to put balls in the V helmet, the third part was popping a balloon and the final part was group skipping. For each ball that they had left at the end of the obstacle course, the team would get 1 second on the clock. White Team ended up winning the quiz caravan with 120 points, while Red team got 100 points, and Black team got 110 points.

Dark Type Elite Four Member Shoko-tan took to the Stage in the Elite Four Battle against 10 year old Yuuto Sakakibara(榊原悠斗). He came prepared with a Sazandora for the battle against Shoko-tan as she watched her beat Golgo in Pokémon Smash #52 with her Sazandora. Unfortunately his technique didn't pay off and Shoko-tan ended up winning the battle.

Mijumaru Tweet Corner
During the tweet corner, the Pocket Monsters Best Wishes data broadcast was showcased. When viewers push the d-button on their remote control during Best Wishes, a data broadcast is shown. Viewers can then choose their favorite Pokémon as their own partner, then wait until the battle gauge has built itself up and then they get the chance to enter a Pokémon Battle! If the viewer selects a move that's "super effective" against the opposing Pokémon, a new Pokémon will be registered in their Pokémon Zukan! The Data broadcast started in Pocket Monsters Best Wishes #63. Players can get wallpapers for their mobile phones as a present for playing.

The official Pokémon website has announced new rule changes that will take effect at the end of the year for Pokémon Black and White online battling. The rule changes are expected to improve the competitive balance by making gameplay more fair for all. Below is the news from the official Pokémon website detailing the changes.
Also, saved data or Pokémon that have been modified by cheat codes or game-altering devices are not allowed. Not only do they detract from the spirit of fair play, they can cause your data to become corrupted or unstable, or to disappear completely.
If you try to connect to Random Matchup and you have saved data or a Pokémon in your party that is against the rules, you will receive the message: "There was a problem with your Pokémon, and they could not participate." If you see this message, check your Pokémon party, including each Pokémon‘s moves and held items. Also, read over the battle rules to confirm that there are no conflicts.
These changes should make Nintendo WFC battles more fun for everyone. Plus, these rules will align online competitions with Play! Pokémon tournaments, ensuring that your team is ready to battle no matter where you decide to compete.
Thank you for your understanding, and have fun battling in the Global Battle Union!

New rules for online battles will improve competitive balance for everyone!
Get ready for a better experience when battling online. Starting December 26th for Free Mode and December 27th for Rating Mode, Random Matchup battles played through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, as well as official Wi-Fi Competitions in the Global Battle Union, will have a couple of new regulations. First, as a reminder, all of the moves known by Pokémon in your party must have been learned by the following methods: by leveling up, by using TMs or HMs, as Egg Moves, via in-game events such as the Move Tutor, or through official Pokémon distributions. In addition, Dark Void joins the move Sky Drop as a prohibited move in Random Matchups and Wi-Fi Competitions.Also, saved data or Pokémon that have been modified by cheat codes or game-altering devices are not allowed. Not only do they detract from the spirit of fair play, they can cause your data to become corrupted or unstable, or to disappear completely.
