Pokemon Questions

try ebay, they have lots of good anime at a good *price and some animes that haven't even been dubbed you can buy subbed.

if you want original pokemon epsidoes (who would?) try ebay, they have lots of good anime at a good prize and some animes that haven't even been dubbed you can buy subbed.

One episode had James cross-dressing and had some breast jokes.

Acctually, I believe that particular episode was aired like... a year or two later, much later infact, and was labeled as "the lost episode". They showed as much as the bathing suit contest up to the point where Jesse and James show up, where for the duration of that sequence, it was cut out. It was basically edited out for obvious reasons, though in the end, the episode did air.

The most famous episodes which didn't see the light of day included the infamous seizure episode (in case you're picky, this was episode No. 038: Dennou Senshi Porigon (Electric Soldier Porygon) aired on 121697), and another one due to gun is pointed at Satoshi/Ash, or so I believe (No. 035: Miniryuu no Densetsu (The Legend of Dratini) aired on 112597)), and the last one not-aired episode of the first Pokemon run was due to the appearence of the Pokemon Jynx, whom people complained was a racial stereotype of black people (acctually, this one I needed a bit of help on, but all I know was I think it was Episode No. 252: The Ice Cave (I'm not quite sure of the Japanese name)).

Originally that's why I started watching PokeMon: I suffer from a seizure disorder and back in the day, I would get close to the TV and watch Pikachu's Thundershock to see in it would induce a seizure in me (I never said I was a sane person ).[

Also, I heard there was an edit in the episodes leading to Brock leaving for the first time.

There was an edit involving Professor Ivy (her of the bountiful bosoms) and the gang and it probably was either a boob joke or something similar to the edit listed earlier.

Riiiighttt. =/

Also, I just remembered but Brock/Takeshi's backstory was another somewhat subtile, yet notible edit. In the american version, it was stated that spoiler[his mother died.] In the original japanese version, spoiler[his mother acctually just upright deserts the children instead. (also, doing a bit of research, apparently, in the offical novelization for the story, the plot was that his mother married and divorced 9 times, and in the end, left to persue her own life, and furthermore, Takeshi's father never returned.)]

There was acctually an edit of her? I remember watching the U.S. dub, and I remember that her breasts were of a ridiculiously ji-normous size. Like... insanely. How were children not to notice that? =/

I get that alot. I thought it was funny. How sad I was to learn the flashes had been dimmed for the U.S. audience. Hey, I was 16-17 then, I was experimenting!

I love the word gynormous . Also, don't forget another famous large-chested Pokemon trainer, Prima. I mean come on now, the whole time Ash was trying to battle her I'm surprised he didn't lose because he was hypnotized by... ok, I'm stopping right now before I get off-post.

By the way, for good suggestive themes, play Pokemon Puzzle League. Especially as Sabrina. Definately. =P

4. Were any plots changed?

Well, considering how large Pokemon is and the episodic nature of its continuity, it's not hard to make mistakes like that, especially considering if there is more than one peson producing scripts.

James's flamboyant cross-dressing is more often than not meant for comedy, as the general idea of someone dressing up as a woman is funny to people

I guess the Pokemon community (the kids who don't care and the five people on IRC) just has to take one for the team :)
