: After this episode aired, a woman named {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} wrote an article stating that {{p|Jynx}}, which was featured prominently in the episode, is a negative stereotype of African-Americans related to characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}''. Soon afterward, the episode was pulled from rotation and is not believed to have aired since 2000. Despite this, the episode was available [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|on VHS]], and was also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|the original Indigo DVD box set]] (however, it is not on the current box set). It is no longer mentioned on [[Pokémon.com]], but was (albeit lacking pictures of Jynx) before April 2013. Also, it was added to the rotation on {{wp|Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang}} in 2011, and still was included in Cartoon Network's online streaming services. Additionally, no restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. This episode has also been banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}. This episode is still banned even after the Japanese re-airing of the Christmas Eve episode of ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'', in which Jynx was recolored to match what she currently looks like in the Pokémon games. The Japanese versions of [[Prime Video]] and [[Netflix]] have the edited version while [[Hulu]] has the original version. This episode is also banned in [[Pokémon in South Asia|India]] after it first aired for unknown reasons. It was never re-aired on Hungama TV and Indian Disney XD reruns and was replaced by ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. | : After this episode aired, a woman named {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}} wrote an article stating that {{p|Jynx}}, which was featured prominently in the episode, is a negative stereotype of African-Americans related to characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}''.
