: 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.

: While not banned, this episode was initially skipped in {{pmin|Poland}} due to reflections of the {{wp|Great Depression}}. Feeling it would be insensitive to air an episode inadvertently reflecting an American crisis, [[Disney XD]] [[Pokémon in Poland|PL]] refused to air it because of the particular scene where {{TRT}} suffers from loss of energy, where their appearance resembles that of many people who were suffering in the Great Depression. It has been instead aired later, between ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' and ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground!]]'' | : While not banned, this episode was initially skipped in {{pmin|Poland}} due to reflections of the {{wp|Great Depression}}.

: This two-part saga of [[Team Rocket]] facing off with [[Team Plasma]] was postponed 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 yet to air in Japan, dubs of the episode have yet to be shown around the world. While the episodes were simply skipped 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]], it appears these episodes have been retconned out of continuity, making it unlikely that they will ever air or be shown in a normal manner. | |||
