Ikr. I can totally see how that episode could cause what it did. It was bothering my eyes a bit even at that speed. But I don't see how they got away with making porygon take the fall for that one. Rip porygon's rep, just because they thought people would stop watching it if they knew the series mascot was responsible.
Jonas h Maybe because "Pocket Monsters" are viewed as animals and hunting animals with rifles is fine but pointing a gun at another human being is wrong and you dont want to influence kids to do that to other kids. You need a rifle to hunt and a license for even that so its unlikely a kids going to manage that. Just like how they are very unlikely to obtain a Rocket Launcher. Not American TV logic, it's simple logic. I love when people ignorantly try to single out a nationality or ethnicity.
9:17 "I haven't seen a single gun in this hole episode." In the episode called "Kangaskan Kid" the police woman had a gun in here hand and was pointing at Ash, because he tried to catch a Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
It's stupid the fact she pointed her gun at him for breaking safari zone r Rules/laws, if he hadn't she wouldn't of. Plus it shows good message of break the law deal with the police and that not even Ash is safe from the police
Something he missed about the Dratini episode: this banning of this one actually caused minor plot holes in the English dub. Conveniently every other banned episode on this list was pure filler so could be skipped with no issues, but remember Ash's 30 Tauros? They're kind of a thing that gets brought up every now and then, and he used one in one of the Pokemon leagues. Turns out he caught them in that episode. So in the English dub, the 30 Tauros appeared at Oak's lab with no explanation.
The foresight of him saying “this is probably the biggest episode I’ll ever do” and it *still* being his most viewed video all these years later is crazy
Yeah, for real. I think this and his Lavender Town Myths video are his most-viewed of all time, which makes sense considering that they were both highly requested.
I am a Japanese, I use Google Translate At that time, the popularity of dragon ball was exploding in Japan Many animations had mimicked the character of Kame Sennin 日本人です、グーグル翻訳を使用している 当時、日本ではドラゴンボールが爆発的にヒットしていた 多くのアニメが亀仙人の性格を模倣していた
Funfact, the legend of the dratini episode is the same episode Ash caught his 30 Tauros, so basically now there is no expanation as to how he ever caught them randomly now he has a herd of Tauros. No explanation,
Whole Ash wanted to catch a Pokemon in the safari zone, a wild herd of Tauros used to appear in front of him, so when he threw a Pokeball, it actually caught a Tauros, at the same time Team Rocket were using Mewtwo to catch the same Tauros, but they were out of luck, instead Ash caught every single Tauros in that Safari Zone. That's how he got 30 Tauros.
A youtuber, Enter The Unown, tried to do a challenge in pokemon where he used the same team Ash used in the anime, he explained to the viewers about the 30 Tauros and says about the episode Ash caught them in, whilst featuring the clip of Ash catching them (They were in japanese but he added english subs), after that he explained that they were in Japanese because of how the episode was banned in America due to the gun scene (He even featured it).
Coming back to this unlocked a memory of me, my brother, and my sister watching this on RUclips XL on our Wii. I remember my sister asking if I was alright after the Electric Soldier Porygon part and I was. While I don't suffer from epilepsy, the flashing colors do irritate my eyes. I can see why it was banned from airing outright in Japan and that the English dub didn't fully happen.
Again for your information it wasn't the pokemon episode that caused the fit's or epilepsy attack, it was the news that reported the incident that caused it as it was later in the day after the viewing of pokemon and you can see this for yourself, the other is that the news show repeatedly showed it over and over again. You have even said so yourself no attack happened
I guess because they are more cartoony and I don't think citizens are allowed to own functioning ones. Those are real weapons though so you could argue that they aren't kid friendly.
Well, misty already has oversized breasts for her age, and Jessie has bigger breasts then her, which makes sense. But JAMES? His fake breasts were bigger than Jessie's REAL ones. It makes noooooooo sense.
Because some parents dont let they're children play this "call of duty" but do let them wach pokemon. some parents dont want their kids pointing guns at eachother.
What is the problem in using a gun that looks like a gun? I had a toy gun as a kid, same goes for Japanese kids. For us outside of the states, guns are as real as rocket launchers. Sure they botg they exists, but one of them are allowed while the other is not.
Meowth's costume wasn't supposed to be taken as Hitler lol it's unfortunate how the U.S. And Japanese cultures clash and there is miscommunication that at times is interpreted as offensive.
The funny part about the whole Seizure incident was that most of the seizures happened not because of the episode itself, but from a news report made later on which showed the seizure clip in a way that caused seizures easier (and likely faster) than the original episode.
I didnt think it looked anything like Hitler's mustache, it's too wide. It only gives that image because of the clothes too that look a lot like traditional german wear. But frankly for someone to associate anything german-like with hitler is clearly prejudice on their part.
Actually, the mustache was Charlie Chaplin's trademark look. It is just superseded in culture by Hitler, who was more "impactful" to our world history. And Hitler was a Chaplin fan. Make it what you will.
I feel so sorry for Porygon. My favourite normal type, and it's been quite literally banned from the TV show, all because of Pikachu and a bunch of missiles.
Like I've said before why let anyone with epilepsy watch 5v? They're knowingly put themselves in danger. If in this case was children then the parents are to blame
@@tylercpobrian4256 I remember reading that a lot of Japanese kids would watch like 2 feet in front of the screen so that wouldn’t help. But my boi deserves better than a few film cameos.
Not just Porygon, but its evolutions Porygon2 and Porygon-Z as well. I was seriously hoping we could finally see them during Pokemon Journeys, but another missed opportunity happened yet again

@@MattTheCommenter Right, and they only stopped airing it and the Tower of Terror for a short time after 9/11. In fact, Cartoon Network was the only who didn't air it for that time.
Well, in the first episode (I think) Ash saw Ho-Oh and I think there's a pokedex entry of if you see Ho-Oh you will be granted something I think.. I kinda don't remember... So I guess Ash lives eternal happiness and he stays forever ten....?
There are many theories about this actually and yes I've heard of the coma one, but let's be honest here. He can't grow up b/c Pokemon is a cash cow for kids... Sadly if ash grew up I think it would throw some balance off or something... It would be really weird too - like imagine him growing up and having all those poke girls as his companions... It wouldn't really work unless those girls were grown up as well and since Pokemon journeys begin around the age of 10 or so.... well you see my point :/
Unfortunately the TR vs TP two-parter isn't part of those that can be found since it wasn't shown anywhere. Which sucks because I'm ngl I REALLY wanted to see those, BW has a huge plothole thanks to the retcon.
The way that nurse Joy is answering the phones seems like it could be some strange foreshadowing to what it would have been like after the airing of the episode in Japan
I remember the Beauty and the Beach episode. They labeled it as a "lost episode" which is silly but also makes sense since a ton of people still didn't have internet access at that time at home.
Ever since the Pokemon episode that caused epileptic seizures, there is a seizure warning to stay away from the TV on almost ALL anime now in Japan at the beginning of the shows.
Or just stay away from TV altogether if they have epilepsy, if they have it purposefully watch TV they are knowingly putting themselves in harms way and at risk of a fit as you can't blame the TV in this scenario at all in any way shape or form. You are still valid don't worry didnt want to trigger yall
According to Bulbapedia, The Legend Of Dratini also has an English dub. It also says it wasn't 4Kids that banned the episode, but WB (the network that aired the show at the time). So all three original banned episodes have English versions just sitting in a damned vault somewhere. Release them, Pokémon!
WhiteRaven696 I definitely think that we fans have a right to at least see those episodes, if only to understand the context of why they were never shown in America.
@@darthkurland despite most of the audience being 27 they continue to insist on having a 10yr old under the pretense of "someone the audience can identify with." What you're asking is far too in touch for _any_ of the companies that own a piece to get.
i hope you realize that now, in 2020, if pokemon released these episodes, they would have to cut tauros, the dratini line, and the porygon like from pokemon entirely because people get way too offended easily
Wasn't "Electric soldier Porygon" referenced in a Simpsons episode? Because the family go to Japan and Bart is watching TV, it's not Pokémon on the screen, but he says "Isn't this that show that gave everybody seizures?" Soon enough the entire Simpson family fall to the floor in fits after looking at the screen.
Chippy Flip YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I actually kinda like the lavender town song.It's catchy!Either that...or I'm being..hypnotized.

Thanks a ton for spending time to look out for those with Epilepsy like myself and my sisters, another thing you missed was that besides the flashing was the program used to cause it, the animation program had never been used en mass like that to a large amount of people and in fact continued for 17 seconds, which is insane
5:22 HOLY CRAP, THAT MASTER BALL IS HUGE! Like, seriously, it's bigger than Misty's head! I think Arceus wouldn't take up as much space in a Pokeball as that monstrosity!
JWittz: Ask your parents before watching this clip and see what they think about it first Me, 10 at the time this vid came out: _No, I don't think I will_
This isn't the first episode to feature guns. In 'here comes the squrtle squad', Team rocket holds up a shop at gunpoint With Jessy having a R.P.G shooting pellets. James however had a smg. When ash arrives at the shop About 5 ppl had sniper rifles, guns, machine guns, ect. Also later in the episode team rocket is bombing people.
+DeathTheKidX1 +Noah Thornton Charlie Chaplin had the same type of moustache though. Too bad that people would associate the moustache with Hitler more than him
+Chrisen Simeon I guess its because That man actually points the gun right Ash's head and maybe people think handguns are more scary looking than rocket launchers or shotguns
Meowth wasn't Hitler, J. He was parodying detective characters from old classic movies, back when the toothbrush mustache style was highly popular. Y'know, back before Hitler messed that style up for everyone.
Seen all mentioned episodes in my country, the Netherlands. None were banned here and I seen some even recently in reruns. All of these were translated to Dutch as well.
I have seen most of them on tv yes. For sure the Jinx, tentacruel and I remember the Hitler Meowth. But for sure I did not see that last one with polygon... So I dont know how correct this guy is... Anyways, PewGeottow!
Back then, Pokemon episodes were bad, but it's 2014 now. It got better now...I think. They did improve a lot with the animation, the ideas, and the games. Don't you guys agree?
I've watched all the banned episodes, except the Whiscash episode and Team Rocket vs Team Plasma episode thing(haven't reached that far yet with my 'pokemon marathon'). I did watch Beauty and the Beach, but it didn't have that James Boobs part...pretty obviously, I guess. I also did watch the Porygon episode, but I didn't notice the blinking lights at all while watching it - not even when Pikachu shot Thunderbolt at the missiles!
I don't know what's worse: people being oversensitive, or people whining about people being oversensitive. Honestly, I just feel sorry for this generation, with people constantly arguing about stuff on the Internet. Will everyone just calm down already?
WAIT A MINUTE... I've had the VCR tapes for a while, and I've had the Tentacruel episode, the Tower of Terror episode, and the Holiday Hi-jinks episode. Those tapes were bought in the 90's.
Dominick Spencer Well, the Tentacruel and Tower of Terror episodes aren't banned now, and the 90's was pre-9/11 (Obviously). Jynx wasn't racist in the 90's - only in the early 2000's, she started getting hate for "resembling Blackface"
I like how guns are bad in Legend of Dratini, but in the Squirtle Squad episode a store gets robbed at gun point my team rocket, armed with assault rifles, when Ash enters the store to get a Super Potion everyone in the store points rifles at Ash. In Haunter vs Kadabra, Haunter pulls a revolver at Jessie... I think it's a little funny
IKR reminds me of the GTA series. Soccer moms let their child play a Mature 17+ game. Then want the game banned when the protagonist has sex with a hooker."Oh my little 8 year old Jimmy just loves splattering half the population on his cars hood using so many curse words to embarrass a sailor. But have sex and suddenly I regret my decision."
the porygon episode probably caused seizures because the lights flashed so fast, the human eye could not process it fast enough, and the brains overloaded, causing a seizure.
The weirdest thing about The Legend of Dratini is that it's a pivotal episode. Ash's trip to the safari zone is hyped up a lot, and It's also the episode where he catches those 30 Tauros.
I don't understand why these are banned... this tv show is supposed to be for 11+ year olds not 6 year olds. I've seen the 'Regular Show' have guns in an episode, come on people don't be so strict about this. If some parents think that this is inappropriate for child then watch something else for fuck sake! And if this is PG (Parental Guidance) then Im really pissed off because... well... LISTEN PARENTS to the rating... I know a 10 year old who convinced their parents to get them GTA 5 (R Rated - 18+ only) because he said to his parents it was Golf Tour Australia 5, Parents: "Rated R 18+?" fuck that, its golf let my kid play it. Plus, do Parents really want their children to not know if inflatable boobs and guns are real? "Mummy, whats that on your chest?" "Darling, THEY ARE ORANGES!" "Mummy, whats that man with the black mask holding?" "Darling, ITS A CAMERA!" My point has been made, thankyou
Well, these episodes were aired in the late 90's, almost 20 years ago. Times have changed - nowadays stuff like Regular Show has guns and innuendo, whereas that wouldn't ever have been allowed in the 90's, at least not for children's shows. But I guess the reason that they don't dub and air them now is because the animation is somewhat dated, and these episodes are from the first season, so it might not make sense to a kid who watches the current season.
capcom23 bro i m telling same thing that the boobs episode should be removed.....u took my comment wrong bro i also understand children should have a gud childhood better avoid the dirtyness :)
Mariko Marikawa bro, i think i am right even show like TOM & JERRY has used guns ,bombs , weapons etc in the lots of episodes and i think its just normal to have little pistol in one episode of pokemon !!!!!
This is the first pokemon related video I ever watched I was 8 when I saw this, I dont think I would ever have been a pokemon fan if this never appeared in my recommendations 7 years ago
7:40 - How did James get inflatable breast implants? I don't think it could be said better than this episode being completely all over the place. 8:50 - How are rocket launchers kid-friendly? A gun's a gun. 9:20 - I can see how the Hitler comparison could be made...but the rest of his appearance gives it more of the stereotypical cop schtick than anything else.
Rocket launchers are more over-the-top and indirect than something gritty like a revolver or machine gun. It's also been used constantly in cartoon media as a substitute.
I can't tell you how many times Team Rocket has actually used a rocket launcher in the anime. And yes, the Hitler comparison is completely understandable.
Collin Vee it's also the same with cartoon shotguns, stuff like looney tunes and tom & jerry have them, and they are still being shown on children's TV, not for older children (target group), but for younger children
The Beauty and the Breast (#3) eposide wasn't as "bad" as you guys say xD Yes, it may not be appropiate for 5-9yo kids, but anyone above 12yo would find it funny I think. :S
I find every thing funny(if it has some sexual graphic inappropriate mature .ect) if it has none of these not even a little thing that may seem that way it just wont cut it which is why I hate tobygames and im a female 11 year old with the mental age of 25
Cool video, you've got a knack for discussing things all at once maturely, interestingly, and thought provokingly. I bet you'd do really well branching out to commentary on other gaming topics as well as Pokemon.

Then why does his hair never grow?
Sarah Xie He is in a comma from pikachus thunderbolt. Everything is a dream...
DarkBlood125
Dun dun DUN!!!!
There are many theories about this actually and yes I've heard of the coma one, but let's be honest here. He can't grow up b/c Pokemon is a cash cow for kids... Sadly if ash grew up I think it would throw some balance off or something... It would be really weird too - like imagine him growing up and having all those poke girls as his companions... It wouldn't really work unless those girls were grown up as well and since Pokemon journeys begin around the age of 10 or so.... well you see my point :/
Although they are banned. It's very easy to find all these episodes
Ace show me were you found theses episodes
Illegal pirating sources have them. that's the easiest way. or Google, but that can take some time.
Ace Look on Dailymotion
I know the tentacruel episode was sold on vhs back then. They're probably all on dvd now
Unfortunately the TR vs TP two-parter isn't part of those that can be found since it wasn't shown anywhere.
Which sucks because I'm ngl I REALLY wanted to see those, BW has a huge plothole thanks to the retcon.
The way that nurse Joy is answering the phones seems like it could be some strange foreshadowing to what it would have been like after the airing of the episode in Japan
Kungfudude205 I thought that too.
I remember the Beauty and the Beach episode. They labeled it as a "lost episode" which is silly but also makes sense since a ton of people still didn't have internet access at that time at home.
OK going good so f-

The next day, people found a computer thrown out the window.
Porygon no!
Ever since the Pokemon episode that caused epileptic seizures, there is a seizure warning to stay away from the TV on almost ALL anime now in Japan at the beginning of the shows.
Or just stay away from TV altogether if they have epilepsy, if they have it purposefully watch TV they are knowingly putting themselves in harms way and at risk of a fit as you can't blame the TV in this scenario at all in any way shape or form. You are still valid don't worry didnt want to trigger yall
According to Bulbapedia, The Legend Of Dratini also has an English dub. It also says it wasn't 4Kids that banned the episode, but WB (the network that aired the show at the time). So all three original banned episodes have English versions just sitting in a damned vault somewhere. Release them, Pokémon!
WhiteRaven696 I definitely think that we fans have a right to at least see those episodes, if only to understand the context of why they were never shown in America.
@@darthkurland despite most of the audience being 27 they continue to insist on having a 10yr old under the pretense of "someone the audience can identify with."
What you're asking is far too in touch for _any_ of the companies that own a piece to get.
i hope you realize that now, in 2020, if pokemon released these episodes, they would have to cut tauros, the dratini line, and the porygon like from pokemon entirely because people get way too offended easily
I'm sorry to say this but even if the answer is yes, there's too many other factors that go into play.
i remember watching this as a child and *not* asking my parents what they think when i was told to. what a rebellious 8 year old i was
Banning Pokemon in America because of guns is like banning Dora the Explorer in Mexico because of the Spanish language.
one day spongebob is going to have a shot gun in the show
Nuclearzombie lol
i predicted that
Wasn't "Electric soldier Porygon" referenced in a Simpsons episode? Because the family go to Japan and Bart is watching TV, it's not Pokémon on the screen, but he says "Isn't this that show that gave everybody seizures?" Soon enough the entire Simpson family fall to the floor in fits after looking at the screen.
Georgia the Gamer yeah

How about....
WE ALL WATCH ELECTRIC SOLDIER PORYGON ALL THE WHILE LISTENING TO THE ORIGINAL LAVENDER TOWN THEME SONG.
Chippy Flip YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I actually kinda like the lavender town song.It's catchy!Either that...or I'm being..hypnotized.
Chippy Flip OH MY GAWD YUS!!!!! LETS HAVE A SEIZURE FROM THE PORYGON EPISODE WHILE COMMITING SUICIDE FROM THAT LAVENDER TOWN SONG!!!!! :D
Wow... Really?... -_-
DONT DO IT MAAAAANNNNN
+Chippy Flip i already have.
umm wouldn't N's room theme be better from bw2
Thanks a ton for spending time to look out for those with Epilepsy like myself and my sisters, another thing you missed was that besides the flashing was the program used to cause it, the animation program had never been used en mass like that to a large amount of people and in fact continued for 17 seconds, which is insane
I was actually afraid to see the last one because I thought I would get a seizure
same man
OHHHHHH!! I thought I was the only one, so... Yeah, same here!
maybe i'm secretly invisible but i found the original on yt and it didn't really happen at all
Day R me too
Same. I’m not epileptic but if THAT many people were affected, who knows what could happen???
At 6:00 who noticed where the guy is looking at on misty's body?
UMMM I AM EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE
@Keadin Mode NNNNNNNIPPON SMASH!
@Keadin Mode In the original dub, he said something to the effect of, "You'll be fun in a few years." Yeah, he was totally perving on her.
Two of the episodes are on Netflix.
Sounds about right...
Chloe Potter The tentacool and tentacruel episode and another one that I forgot the name of.
+Alexis “Georgia Rose” Styles-Rainies-Thompson And the beach bikini episode
Jasmine Harris Really? Why couldn't I find it then?
The tower of terror one and tentacool and tentacruel
5:22
HOLY CRAP, THAT MASTER BALL IS HUGE! Like, seriously, it's bigger than Misty's head! I think Arceus wouldn't take up as much space in a Pokeball as that monstrosity!
Its a beach ball...
It's A Beach Ball...
DarthVaderReviews Really now, why would Misty have a master ball, it's clearly a beach ball
DarthVaderReviews Its a beach ball. how did she not catch ash then?
Guys,I Think he's Joking around....
JWittz: Ask your parents before watching this clip and see what they think about it first
Me, 10 at the time this vid came out: _No, I don't think I will_
This isn't the first episode to feature guns. In 'here comes the squrtle squad', Team rocket holds up a shop at gunpoint With Jessy having a R.P.G shooting pellets. James however had a smg. When ash arrives at the shop About 5 ppl had sniper rifles, guns, machine guns, ect. Also later in the episode team rocket is bombing people.
Also, having a small beard doesn't make you hitler
Jacob Freeman Having a Hitler mustache does, though.
+DeathTheKidX1 +Noah Thornton
Charlie Chaplin had the same type of moustache though. Too bad that people would associate the moustache with Hitler more than him
+Chrisen Simeon
I guess its because That man actually points the gun right Ash's head and maybe people think handguns are more scary looking than rocket launchers or shotguns
And Tentacool and Tentacruel, when that woman fired the guns into the air (and she was in a tank)
5:56 I think we've found the old man who looks into Celadon Gym
so let me get this, a revolver is wrong but a fucking rocket launcher is fine??
yes
+Drarkar did you read the description. he explained
what nonsense plus a laser gun
yes
I doubt any kids will get murderous inspiration from a rocket launcher, but some kids will probably find their parents gun and ruin someone's day.
At 7:35 he calls the episode beauty at the beach beauty and the beast...
nope it's beauty at the beach, if they put that as their title they'd get sued
@@revcries Beauty and the Beast is a public domain story, Disney didn't invent it.
Meowth wasn't Hitler, J. He was parodying detective characters from old classic movies, back when the toothbrush mustache style was highly popular. Y'know, back before Hitler messed that style up for everyone.
"Japan makes some crazy stuff"
And that's why we love their shows
Seen all mentioned episodes in my country, the Netherlands. None were banned here and I seen some even recently in reruns. All of these were translated to Dutch as well.
That's cool. I really want to watch some of these banned episodes - sadly I can't find them ;(
Did they get released on dvd too?
iunno, never looked for pokemon DVD's
Your dutch too! I'm also dutch, just thought to share that..
I have seen most of them on tv yes. For sure the Jinx, tentacruel and I remember the Hitler Meowth. But for sure I did not see that last one with polygon...
So I dont know how correct this guy is...
Anyways, PewGeottow!
hitler? oh god. looked more like a regular bushy mustache

oof thats too much XD

They have so shown guns in the Anime. The squirtle squad episode showed several guns
+Ino Yamanaka
Well that man points the handgun at Ash's head and I guess people think handguns look more scary than Rocket Launchers or Shotguns
I'm just saying that can't be their only reason for banning it if they let the other episode slide
Ino Yamanaka
Compare that to other eps were guns are used,the way guns are used in that ep is more terrifying than the way guns are used in other eps
+Ino Yamanaka MIND DESTRUCTION JUTSU OH YEH INO!!!! UR MY FAV
+william kimbrell I do love my fans lol Do you know what's funny? I have been on here for like a year and I have yet to see Sai anywhere
Back then, Pokemon episodes were bad, but it's 2014 now. It got better now...I think. They did improve a lot with the animation, the ideas, and the games. Don't you guys agree?
The classics will always be better than the new games.
***** I guess I have to agree kinda
I think XY is the best pokemon series yet. Just my opinion though...
What year were you born in?
pbmaster54 Why are you asking?
8 years later, vid's still up and the actual video of the episodes discussed are still here, glad to see you managed to keep everything up JWittz
This video is a decade old?! That feels very wrong.
I remember watching this as a kid
I've watched all the banned episodes, except the Whiscash episode and Team Rocket vs Team Plasma episode thing(haven't reached that far yet with my 'pokemon marathon').
I did watch Beauty and the Beach, but it didn't have that James Boobs part...pretty obviously, I guess.
I also did watch the Porygon episode, but I didn't notice the blinking lights at all while watching it - not even when Pikachu shot Thunderbolt at the missiles!
Am I the only one around here who thinks the event which came of Electric Soldier Porygon might have made for a nice Creepypasta plot?
06:24
Misty: *smiling* This is totally embarassing and degrating but we need the money!
Me: LMAO
I don't know what's worse: people being oversensitive, or people whining about people being oversensitive. Honestly, I just feel sorry for this generation, with people constantly arguing about stuff on the Internet. Will everyone just calm down already?
I agree.

WAIT A MINUTE... I've had the VCR tapes for a while, and I've had the Tentacruel episode, the Tower of Terror episode, and the Holiday Hi-jinks episode. Those tapes were bought in the 90's.
There both also on netflix
***** t d's uk w you have a good2
Dominick Spencer Well, the Tentacruel and Tower of Terror episodes aren't banned now, and the 90's was pre-9/11 (Obviously). Jynx wasn't racist in the 90's - only in the early 2000's, she started getting hate for "resembling Blackface"
I like how guns are bad in Legend of Dratini, but in the Squirtle Squad episode a store gets robbed at gun point my team rocket, armed with assault rifles, when Ash enters the store to get a Super Potion everyone in the store points rifles at Ash. In Haunter vs Kadabra, Haunter pulls a revolver at Jessie... I think it's a little funny
IKR reminds me of the GTA series. Soccer moms let their child play a Mature 17+ game. Then want the game banned when the protagonist has sex with a hooker."Oh my little 8 year old Jimmy just loves splattering half the population on his cars hood using so many curse words to embarrass a sailor. But have sex and suddenly I regret my decision."
i remember that
TheHeadHunter1000 And it makes it worse, that sex is natural... and has no fucking reason to be censored or banned...
And in the episode Kangaskhan Kid, Ranger Jenny points a riffle at Ash and the team for Pokemon poaching.
K
the porygon episode probably caused seizures because the lights flashed so fast, the human eye could not process it fast enough, and the brains overloaded, causing a seizure.
That's pretty much what causes light sensitive epilepsy
Jen Dowie yeah, you are right.
no shit
We need our RAM upgraded, currently it sucks.
The weirdest thing about The Legend of Dratini is that it's a pivotal episode.
Ash's trip to the safari zone is hyped up a lot, and It's also the episode where he catches those 30 Tauros.
Yea when he says that in the anime i know why now
Guns. Nothing you wouldn't see in a typically Tom and Jerry episode. XD
james: 6:43
james charles: *Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!*
*The ultimate battle*
The fact that he’s only 21 in this video is so insane.
Not fair, I wanted to see Porygon in the anime, it looks cute with all those polygons.
First time viewer here.
Your voice is........ soothing.
RIGHT THO?! I thought I was the only one who thought that!
#asmr
I don't understand why these are banned... this tv show is supposed to be for 11+ year olds not 6 year olds. I've seen the 'Regular Show' have guns in an episode, come on people don't be so strict about this. If some parents think that this is inappropriate for child then watch something else for fuck sake! And if this is PG (Parental Guidance) then Im really pissed off because... well... LISTEN PARENTS to the rating... I know a 10 year old who convinced their parents to get them GTA 5 (R Rated - 18+ only) because he said to his parents it was Golf Tour Australia 5, Parents: "Rated R 18+?" fuck that, its golf let my kid play it. Plus, do Parents really want their children to not know if inflatable boobs and guns are real? "Mummy, whats that on your chest?" "Darling, THEY ARE ORANGES!"
"Mummy, whats that man with the black mask holding?" "Darling, ITS A CAMERA!"
My point has been made, thankyou
But still boobs should be banned on episode , although remaining episodes should not banned
Well, these episodes were aired in the late 90's, almost 20 years ago. Times have changed - nowadays stuff like Regular Show has guns and innuendo, whereas that wouldn't ever have been allowed in the 90's, at least not for children's shows. But I guess the reason that they don't dub and air them now is because the animation is somewhat dated, and these episodes are from the first season, so it might not make sense to a kid who watches the current season.
capcom23 bro i m telling same thing that the boobs episode should be removed.....u took my comment wrong bro i also understand children should have a gud childhood better avoid the dirtyness :)
Mariko Marikawa bro, i think i am right even show like TOM & JERRY has used guns ,bombs , weapons etc in the lots of episodes and i think its just normal to have little pistol in one episode of pokemon !!!!!
regular show fits in with the now most kids these day have acess to the internet phone porn 18 material ect ect so yeah
7:05 *looks at james* I don't know whether to be sick or strangely aroused..
XDD Gamzee, your comment was hilarious
aww thanks pinkie, love ya too
yup =^-^=
Just coming back for the memories
This is the first pokemon related video I ever watched I was 8 when I saw this, I dont think I would ever have been a pokemon fan if this never appeared in my recommendations 7 years ago
"Recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan"
Wait...
*9 years ago*
_Oh..._
People are too sensitive
TheRandomShibe
Yes.
They’re too sensitive.
Go away.
The last one isnt a
People are too sensitive thingy
They are kids *Face palm*
I think the beauty at the beach one was funny
you can’t use that excuse for the porygon one
How many kids ACTUALLY asked their parents before viewing #3 ._.
Nope
I think the exact number is -80
I vaguely remember watching Beauty and the Beach as a child..... including the inflatable boobs.
7:40 - How did James get inflatable breast implants? I don't think it could be said better than this episode being completely all over the place.
8:50 - How are rocket launchers kid-friendly? A gun's a gun.
9:20 - I can see how the Hitler comparison could be made...but the rest of his appearance gives it more of the stereotypical cop schtick than anything else.
Rocket launchers are more over-the-top and indirect than something gritty like a revolver or machine gun. It's also been used constantly in cartoon media as a substitute.
I can't tell you how many times Team Rocket has actually used a rocket launcher in the anime.
And yes, the Hitler comparison is completely understandable.
Collin Vee it's also the same with cartoon shotguns, stuff like looney tunes and tom & jerry have them, and they are still being shown on children's TV, not for older children (target group), but for younger children
"Pokemon eventually released beauty and the beast"
Me: h m m
James is a girl! :O
Koopa Bro uuum no he just likes crossdressing XD
ya bro😎😲😖
Koopa Bro no... He's just weird.

No. He’s freaking hilarious XD
Watching this video as a child felt like i was accessing the dark web
omg beauty and the beach was so pervy!!! XD
haha yeah Zith!
guess what brisk? I got my own Skype :D my Skype is ZithyPie8910
cooooooooool
I sent you a contact request.
It is not a good idea to publicly give out your Skype username, as people will be able to DDoS you. I recommend removing the comment.
People are really mad
Kids always see guns in movies and other shows
It do not affects anything
Holy crap. I can’t believe this video came out 6 years ago. Man Jwittz, you really formed my childhood.
The Beauty and the Breast (#3) eposide wasn't as "bad" as you guys say xD Yes, it may not be appropiate for 5-9yo kids, but anyone above 12yo would find it funny I think. :S
You are mad. It isnt funny, even though I watched this about 5 times in my life.
I found it not funny at all.
t alexander I'm not expecting everyone to find funny the things I think that are xD
I find every thing funny(if it has some sexual graphic inappropriate mature .ect)
if it has none of these not even a little thing that may seem that way it just wont cut it which is why I hate tobygames and im a female 11 year old with the mental age of 25
I have to say, i agree. I busted out laughing when that happened and accidentally woke up my mom. And im 11.
I'm 13 and almost started crying in laughter...
These videos were my childhood.
the last banded epeisode also inspired the simpsons joke of the show battleing sierze robots
Watching this video back in the day was legendary. We had never seen some of these clips before
Cool video, you've got a knack for discussing things all at once maturely, interestingly, and thought provokingly. I bet you'd do really well branching out to commentary on other gaming topics as well as Pokemon.
The first time, I knew about pokémon, was about the seizure incident of the Porygon episode, gave in the news.
Half of these are on kiss anime in English dub
Beutey and the beach is on kiss anime
Kelly Petitcolas is that true? I never got a chance to see it.
fricking weeb
Well, that's not an offical site so that's not surprisng.
I watched this video back when it came out, and oh my lord this is a throwback to see this reccomended in my feed. Timeless content
