: This episode was initially banned when the episodes were first dubbed for airing in the United States. During 2000, the episode was finally dubbed and aired twice before disappearing once again. It was banned because [[James]] wore an inflatable body suit to give him large breasts in order to win a beauty contest. An elderly man also stares at Misty's breasts, and in the original Japanese says that he will be looking forward to having fun with her in a few years. It also appears to be retconned out of continuity with the English dub, although [[Brutella]] is seen in the following episode. | : This episode was initially banned when the episodes were first dubbed for airing in the United States.

: This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode. The {{safari|Kanto}} warden points a gun at {{Ash}}'s head, and even shoots the gun at {{TRT}}. The banning of this episode left a major plot hole and a continuity error in the English dub, as this was the episode where Ash captured all 30 of his {{AP|Tauros}}. As this is the Safari Zone episode, it also makes the Safari Zone unseen in the English anime, though it is mentioned in the two episodes that took place before it. | : This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode.
