: This episode was scheduled to be broadcast on November 4, 2004. However, not long before, a devastating {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake|earthquake}} struck Japan. Believing it would have been insensitive to air an episode about earthquakes mere weeks after the disaster, it was postponed. However, it never got around to airing and was soon forgotten. Because the episode never aired, {{p|Barboach}} instead debuted in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', but not in a major role. | : This episode was scheduled to be broadcast on November 4, 2004.

: This two-part saga of [[Team Rocket]] facing off with [[Team Plasma]] was banned due to the {{wp|2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami|earthquake and tsunami}} that devastated Japan almost a week before the first half was supposed to air. They were expected to air at a later date because of their significance to the series and TV Tokyo's word on the matter. As the episodes have never aired in Japan, dubs of the episode have not been shown around the world. Because the episodes never aired in Japan, the Pokémon Company International edited the dubbed version of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' to remove the cliffhanger ending that set up the story, and all regions aired ''[[BW023|Battling for the Love of Bug-Types!]]'' followed by ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'' instead. As of [[BW112]], these episodes have been removed altogether. | |||
