Episode 18: Holiday at Acopaulo (US Name: Beauty and the Beach)
Reason for Banning:This Episode Was Banned because they gave James clevage so he could win a beauty contest. This took over a lot of the episode which is why when KidsWB aired a cut version of it, it was horribly mutilated and severely cut in time.

THE LEGEND OF DRATINI EP035 with ENGLISH SUBTITLES (BANNED EPISODE IN UNITED STATES)
This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode. The Safari Zone warden points a gun at Ash's head, and even shoots the gun at Team Rocket. The banning of this episode left a major plot hole and a continuity error in the English dub, as this was the episode where Ash captured all 30 of his Tauros. As this is the Safari Zone episode, it also makes the Safari Zone unseen in the English anime, though it is mentioned in the two episodes that took place before it.

ELECTRIC SOLDIER PORYGON EP038 with ENGLISH SUBTITLES (BANNED EPISODE IN JAPAN)
Known as the "seizure episode," this episode has been banned worldwide after airing only once in Japan. One particular scene of this episode had a series of flashing lights, which caused a total of approximately 685 Japanese children, 375 girls and 310 boys to be sent to the hospital with symptoms of epilepsy. The show went on hiatus for almost a year, delayed the episodes Holiday Hi-Jynx and Snow Way Out!, and cancelled the airing of the New Years Eve episode. The episode also forced the producers to go back through the previous episodes and dim the lighting on them so as not to cause an accident of this magnitude again. Because this episode is prohibited from airing, Porygon has not had any appearances in the anime since, and its evolutions, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z, have never made any appearances in the anime at all.

Shaking Island Battle! Barboach vs Whiscash! EPISODE 377 (NEVER AIRED SO NO VIDEO AVAILABLE)
This episode was scheduled to be broadcast on November 4, 2004. However, not long before, a devastating earthquake struck Japan. Believing it would have been insensitive to air an episode about earthquakes mere weeks after the disaster, it was pulled from the air. The episode and the moves Earthquake, Fissure and Magnitude were subsequently banned. Because the episode never aired, Barboach instead debuted in The Great Eight Fate!, but not in a major role.

TEAM ROCKET VS TEAM PLASMA EPISODE ??? ( UNAIRED )
This two episodes part 1 and 2 are unaired because of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. As of Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, its events have been removed from continuity. As of October 2013, TVTokyo's official statement is still that it will someday air, but with the conclusion of the Best Wishes series and beginning of the XY series in Japan, it is unlikely this will ever come to pass.
