: 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|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', 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. | : 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.
