-'''4Kids Entertainment''' was an American company which was responsible for the production of the English-language version of the [[Pokémon anime]] from 1998 until 2005 (effectively seasons 1 through 8, in total 417 episodes from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''). They were also in charge of English productions for a number of other anime series, as well as creating original series from 1997 to 2013. Among anime fans, the company is notorious for its heavy editing of Japanese versions of series such as ''{{wp|One Piece}}'' and ''{{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh}}''. However, Pokémon is actually among its most faithful adaptations. The company also handled licensing for many other Nintendo products and properties, including ''{{fzw|F-Zero: GP Legend (anime)|F-Zero}}'' and ''{{wk|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby}}'', until 4Kids let the licensing agreement expire in 2006.

 * Paint edit - Usually this is when Japanese text is removed, but it can be used for other things such as physically turning an onigiri into a sandwich in ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]''.
-* Cut - Sometimes a scene is removed completely. This is sometimes done for time constraints. Often, however, it is done as censorship, such as in James' breast scene in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' or in the case of 'excessive' violence. When the [[S01|first season]] of the Pokémon anime was first aired in US, the episode was completely skipped because of this scene, but later it was dubbed in 2000 with this scene cut out.

 * Scene Switch - Occasionally, scenes are moved around, For example, several attacks are performed out of order in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]''.
