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. Tentacool and Tentacruel was also banned for a while as buildings were shown being destroyed Which was hilarious because I'm pretty sure the clips of them ripping up buildings were still in the early intros

The only reason I ever remember this episode exists is because this is where Ash's magically-appearing herd of Tauros came from. It was also disappointing watching the series as a kid. The Safari Zone was one of the most memorable parts of the games. In the anime the two episodes before the banned episode were building up to the trio arriving at The Safari Zone only for it seemingly to never happen.

It's really weird in that the episode before it has an inexplicably identical Safari Zone the group swings to first. It would have been so easy to just rework the dialogue to make that the Safari Zone and avoid that plothole, even if nothing could be done about the Tauros herd.

I remember that as a joke someone made a speedrun category replicating Ash's story and possibly the longest part is you have to catch 29 Tauros

I remember seeing that as a little kid and not owning the game (yet) and thinking "OH MY GOD! TENTACRUEL HAS TO BE, LIKE, THE STRONGEST POKEMON IN THE WORLD!!!". There wasn't anything else in Pokemon (even in the current standing, not too many) going all kaiju and causing mass destruction.
