* This episode was skipped in the dub because of the prominence of {{p|Jynx}}, whose design at the time was considered by some (most significantly in the {{wp|United States}}) to be an offensive racial stereotype. Jynx had appeared in previous episodes and another [[AG013|future episode]] in this design, but 4Kids were able to cut around Jynx's appearance, as those deletions did not significantly affect the storyline of those particular episodes. That was not the case with this episode, as Jynx is one of the main characters in this episode, and 4Kids knew it would be impossible to remove Jynx entirely for this episode without it making any sense at all. As a result, 4Kids eventually decided to skip the episode completely. | * This episode was skipped in the dub because of the prominence of {{p|Jynx}}, whose design at the time was considered by some (most significantly in the {{wp|United States}}) to be an offensive racial stereotype.
