They were expected to air at a later date because of their significance to the series and TV Tokyo's now-broken word on the matter. As the episodes have not aired in Japan, dubs of the episode haven't been 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. | ||
