However, | This episode was pulled from rotation shortly after it was aired due to the fact {{p|Jynx}} was accused of being a {{wp|racial stereotype}} of African-Americans by {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}. It can still be obtained on VHS and in the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD Pack Set, and has been made available on {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network Video}}. However, the episode has not re-aired in syndication, likely due to Jynx's appearance. Moreover, despite appearing on Cartoon Network Video, this episode was skipped on [[Pokémon.com]]'s "[[Pokémon TV]]" video service, (and as of April 2013, removed from Pokémon.com entirely) nor has it been made available on Netflix. When the Indigo League Volume 3 DVD was reissued, the episode was removed. It is also not included on the Indigo League Complete Collection. | ||
The English dub became available on Cartoon Network On Demand wherever available on cable providers in late March of 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011. No restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. However, this episode is banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}. The Japanese [[Netflix]] lists an English blurb for the episode despite it being banned. "As children all over the world eagerly await Christmas, so does Team Rocket. It turns out they plan to catch Santa Claus and grab all of his presents!" | The English dub became available on Cartoon Network On Demand wherever available on cable providers in late March of 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011.
