 : After the events of {{wp|September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001}}, this episode was taken out of rotation. In the months following the attack, {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}} refused to air it due to the destruction of several buildings (particularly Tentacruel smashing a skyscraper) and the use of machine guns. When {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network}} started to air Pokémon, the episode was put back into rotation. It is also available on [[List of English language Indigo League home video releases (Region 1)|home video releases]], and streaming services.
 ; ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]
-: This episode was originally a ten-minute short added to the beginning of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]] in television airings in Japan and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one onward as part of the kanzenban (Japanese: 完全版 full version) edition of the movie. Though the short was dubbed in English, it was ultimately excluded from all overseas versions of the film most likely due to touching upon mature themes such as cloning ethics and death. As a result, the short was never officially dubbed in any other language.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/movies/1998_pm_mewtwo_strikes_back/pm_mewtwo_strikes_back_kanzenban.html Mewtwo Strikes Back
