No, not the one where James had fake implants, or the one where Porygon got banned for life because of a seizure incident that was actually Pikachu's fault.
The one where guns are aimed at and fired more often than at an NRA convention.

The show actually has quite a few banned episodes. Like the one where Ash plays football in Gen 7 and for some reason they thought it'd be a great idea for him to wear blackface for the occasion.

Darn, I was hoping one of these episodes would be about Jessie's brief career as an exotic dancer.

I miss the simple times when there were only two and a half banned episodes (we DID get an edited version of the bikini episode with the James scene cut out) and we only had 151 Pokemon and everyone JUST KNEW that Mew HAD TO BE under the truck, because they made it so difficult to get to...  |

It's still wild to me that Uri Geller got Kadabra banned for so long, heh.

Is the joke that he's gotta be black to play? I'm honestly curious to watch because there is no real reason I can see them doing this other than just some weird race joke that makes no sense if you grow up in a white community like me where a majority of the players were white because of demographics. |

It was actually that he was playing with a bunch of Passimians and dressed up like them, it just looked... Quite unfortunate.  |

And the one with the Jynxs. Because again, blackface. Jynx exists at this weird intersection where, like... Okay, so there was definitely some element of blackface in the design process, don't think you look that much like Mr. Popo without meaning to. But it does seem like it was probably mostly inspired by ganguro, which is its own whole weird thing. Kind of feels like they were trying to mix and match elements with her without considering how... Y'know, one part of it's a fashion trend and the other's an absurd and offensive depiction of a race of people. If nothing else do find it kind of funny that the Jynx controversy is probably why she never got a third stage like Magmar and Electabuzz did, when those three before that were always kind of depicted as an even trio, and yet they apparently learned nothing from the actual issue since Magmortar also has a very UHHHH kind of face. |

The only reason I ever remember this episode exists is because this is where Ash's magically-appearing herd of Tauros came from.

Man I would have paid good money to get a hold of a banned episode where Meowth and Garedvoir shared a steamy night in a hotel room.

What's funny about the swimsuit episode being initially banned is the fact that you see a further episode down the line where Ash flashes back to Misty and Brock meeting his mom during the swimsuit episode. Leading myself to say "what the f*** just happened?!" during that part.

I think an especially stupid one is for awhile the middle part of the Sabrina arc was banned after 9/11 entirely because the title was Tower of Terror. Because it was too much effort to just, like, cut the two seconds where the title screen pops up.
