Yes, I know. Some of you like the Pokemon cartoon (like me), and some of you don't. But I wanted to make this topic anyway. Here are the two lost episodes, and the one that went on the air, but took some editing and re-editing:
Beauty and the Beach
This was the episode the came on the air in the year, 2000. It takes place after the episode with the giant Pokemon.
Reason why this was edited?: While getting dressed, James put on some fake breast. 4Kids thought it was innapropiet for kids to see the breast. The episode took some editing, and then some re-editing, but they finally got to show it on the air.
Legend of Dratini
In this episode, the kids encounter Dratini in the Safari Zone. It also explains how Ash got all of those Tauros.
Reason for this episode being skipped?: It featured some gun stuff. You see, the Safari Zone Warden (AKA Slopoke), had a gun which Team Rocket used to make him backoff. I'm not sure if they shot him or not, though.
Chances it will most likely air on TV?: I really don't know. The episode has been dubbed by 4Kids, but with Pokemon Advance already on the air, WB has no plans for airing it at this time.
Electric Soldier Porygon
In this episode, Ash and his pals encounter the myterious Pokemon, Porygon.
Reason for this episode being skipped?: Well, I'm sure you all heard this before: this is the episode that gave kids seisures. You see, the episode seemed to flash to brightly, and blamed the series badly. After the episode was shown, it was banned from Japan.
Chances it will most likely air on TV?: This one, I am defenatly not sure about. 4Kids did have plans to dub it a few years ago, but now there is no word on it. They said that if they were to air it, they would have to use a dimmer. I really hope they bring this episode on the air, because Porygon is one of my favorite Pokemon, and I think it sucks how I did not get to see an episode featuring him.
