Side Stories have been touted one of the leading ways Dragon Quest XI S will separate itself from the original, and Square Enix has finally detailed what will make this new content so special: they’ll bridge the gap between the game’s first two arcs.Potential Spoilers. Enter I don’t want to mislead anyone here. This corner of the website—“New Stuff”—is not a resurrection of The Far Side daily cartoons.

This is a list of side story episodes of the anime, which occasionally aired instead of a rerun from the main anime series during an episode of the Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station in Japan. When dubbed, these side stories became part of Pokémon Chronicles, alongside the The Legend of Thunder! special and several Pikachu shorts.
Unlike the main anime, Ash Ketchum is not featured in a central role; many of the episodes feature his friends in an expanded role, however. The Team Rocket members featured are usually Butch and Cassidy, in place of the usual members Ash faces.
