Still a shame that Porygon got the shaft despite the fact it was Pikachu's fault for the explosion.
The main characters get away with everything in Anime, especially cute ones like Pikachu.
Yeah, I get banning the episode itself (although it wouldn't have been too difficult to make a safe edited version), but did they have to ban the entire evolution line from appearing in the anime ever again?
Steven Maiorana
Just like celebrities can get away with stuff in real life
Compucles it wasn’t completely banned out of the anime as Porygon was in the dubs pokerap, was in the opening of movies 4 and 5 and
made a small cameo in movie 15
@@satyamSaha Making quick cameos on lists of all Pokémon doesn't count. It's still banned from ever appearing again as an actual character.
_"The shows creators also never want to make Ash a Pokemon master"_
Well, glad to know that the show is going nowhere, then.
I think they mean it more as thats how the show is going to end. like, theyre never gonna make him a master and then have a story about that"
Was it supposed to goes where?
If it was, the anime franchise would end easily and quickly.
The authors of Digimons took this way, so they ended the season somewhere and started another season with a full new cast. Again. Again. And again.
The result is visible... Digimon didn't sell well enough to go outside the Japan, as much as Pokemon did. I still has it anime franchise, but barely anyone talk about it.
They could just make it into a final arc, then have a final movie about Ash being a master, and featuring him going back to all of the regions that he came through
so over 20 years were wasted, poor kid.
Theres just too much money in it. Why choose to end it for the sake of fulfilling the Pokemon Master Destiny when you can pop out new Pokémon that sell $$$
3:18
Here it is. The interview.
Now, Ash's Journey ends
4:30 Extra bit of trivia, This is why some live broadcast anime (e.g. My Hero Academia) have the brightness dimmed during particularly intense action scenes and in parts of their openings to make sure something like this never happens again.
OH! I noticed that in Fate Apocrypha and was really confused, thanks!
They dimmed the flash effects also in the US and this caused the "Please stay away from the TV and watch it on a bright room" annoucement as a law.
I always wondered why the Stand fights in JoJo were noticeably dimmer
The visual edits were done to the Japanese version, 4Kids was just given those copies as the versions to dub. It's noticeable because there are a couple of episodes where 4Kids got the pre-edited versions instead.
Also, the "Please stay away" stuff is NOT a law in Japan. That being said, it is strongly implied that the stations air the message anyway and all of them do comply with it.
No silly, that's just you passing out from boredom.
"The Pokémon anime was only meant to run for a year and a half."
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Yeah - in Ash Ketchum years! Lol
Nearly 20 years later.......... do I even have to say it
2:49 THERE IT IS, THE :o FACE
For those who can’t see: Pikachu’s face.
Thats what the meme come from?? That small scene, its just like the Simpson meme
There are so many Simpsons memes, which one?
@@Syngrafer the one with Marge dancing
Oh yeah, that's pretty crazy, huh? Apparently it's popular to make memes out of small single frames now
"No one's going to watch a movie about minerals coming to life"
Like what execs said to Studio Ghibli animators?
"No one's going to watch a movie about monsters, and now you want to make a movie about graves?"
Fast forward and Totoro (the "monster") is the mascot for the company and Grave of the Fireflies is one of those few animated films that gets put on lists of "high art" films all over the place.
Japanese executives have logic a bit like my brother. I show him my cover art idea and he says, "Is your book about a floating island?" No... That's just a memorable scene from the book. I showed him one of the animatics for the last song in Hamilton, and he says "Is this some sort of Japanese opera about Thomas Jefferson". No. It's a fan work for an Opera about Alexander Hamilton and if you watched more than 5 seconds you'd see that Jefferson wasn't the main character. Also not Japanese. It is an opera, though, I guess. A hip-hopera.
So you're telling me the female companions are intentionally meant to be waifus?
Yep
*god bless japan*
Well, how else do you explain 10-year-old May with such a large bust?
modern marketing
yes
AJ Michaelson “haha yes women are sex objects”
"The episode was never shown in the US due to it's over-use of firearms"
Pretty ironic, seeing as America is a country that lives off guns, lol
While Japan has super strict gun laws.
Pretty funny all over really lol
Supposedly it's because they don't want firearms featured in shows aimed at young kids. But then, I grew up watching people get shot in the face in Warner Bros cartoons and I'm fine.
Considering the english localization was done by 4Kids Entertainment, this doesn't surprise me. 4kids edited an episode of yugioh where a bunch of security guards were pointing guns at yugi and the group. The guns were replaced with walkie talkies.
@@ShadowLion20 Don't forget where they were pointing guns at Kaiba but they got removed so it was weird awkward pointing and "We'd like you to come with us"
Damn those invisable guns lol!
*PIKA PIKA!*
they can't understand me kid!!
lol
I'm the trash pikachu, I get on the stage and throw trash. and then I eat garbage.
the sad part is that porygon and its evolutions never got another episode or ever really shown again because of this. this was always a sad part for me who loved the look of porygon as a kid and never got to see him in action. i still like them.
Some additional trivia on the VO stuff for this video!
2:03 - ORIGINALLY, Ash's name was, in fact, still going to be "Satoshi", but this didn't last and eventually localized/Americanized names were used instead. "Alex" was also cited as one of them in addition to Casey. Veronica has talked about this in a few interviews and on convention panels. She also mentioned that she was cast, then replaced (with the intention of using a child actor), then re-hired again. Episode 1 was said to be recorded a couple of times over, including with the different character names. "Ash" and "Gary" were also used as the base names for the player-character and rival in Red & Blue, so it's also possible these names were chosen in collaboration with Nintendo.
2:14 - Rachael Lillis' additional voiceover for Pikachu during some of these early episodes in part due to other characters' recordings being placed over Pikachu's sounds, so in some cases the original Japanese audio wasn't usable (this isn't a problem anymore due to current recording technology and software)...BUT, in addition, I believe that Rachael was also in consideration at the time to voice Pikachu entirely. Admittedly, I can't remember if she talked about this on a panel or if it was from a conversation with her I had personally, but I do remember her talking about something along the lines of "I was, then I wasn't, then I was, then I wasn't" Pikachu's voice during the early episodes. Take that one with a grain of salt, though.
Still amazing to know that Veronica voiced Ash that long ago and just recently voiced Fire Emblem's Micaiah in Heroes.
Yeah, these days just about all dubbed anime except "Pokémon" keep the characters' original Japanese names, but 4Kids thought we couldn't handle too much Japanese culture and renamed most characters in most of the anime they dubbed (among other things), which is part of why their dubs are considered so lousy and why they went out of business, although the first 8 seasons of Pokémon is one of their better dubs.
@@Compucles I agree that 4Kids flubbed, but I doubt the renaming thing causes a dub to suffer just because it's renaming stuff out of Japanese culture. Using a video game series as an example, Ace Attorney renames everyone but still is a popular and decent visual novel series, even if it's had some rotten eggs.
Besides, 4Kids are not the ones who changed up the names of characters actually from the games; that's all on the video game localizers.
@@Compucles Notice what you just said there, though? Pokemon was ""one of their better dubs""...and YET, the names were all localized in it? Regardless of the fact that it's not entirely accurate to the Japanese version (and for the record, the script for the series' current episodes is FAR more faithful to the original compared to when 4Kids did it), the truth of the matter is, 4Kids helped shaped the English version of the show in a way that made it VERY accessible to an American audience...and in some small part, it helped make the franchise as a whole explode with popularity AND helped start the boom of Anime fandom for the US in general. Not to mention, while this show was arguably "butchered" from its original content, the same can be applied to Yu-Gi-Oh!'s success due to how the show was handled. Yes, 4Kids did some very unsavory things to a lot of anime series...but whether we like it or not, they also helped put Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! on the map AND if it weren't for them, it's arguable that we wouldn't have anime conventions literally every weekend in North America today.
@@Kirbopher15 You may have a point with Pokémon (and I do admit that most of the name changes were made necessary by the video game localizations in the first place), but I bet the original Yu-gi-oh! series (and by extension the sequels) would've been even more popular with Western audiences with a more accurate English dub. The same is also true for series like "Sailor Moon" and "Cardcaptor Sakura" (although those latter two cases were also limited by American broadcast standards regarding homosexual references).
Besides, there were other more accurate English anime dubs for 90's gateway series like "Ranma 1/2" and the uncut versions of "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball Z" that were just as important as the various butchered dubs in establishing anime popularity in the West.
Brock actually says the whole "She'll be fun in eight years" several times in the Japanese version, including to Casey (the rival in Johto).
Also, the more common translation of the line from Aim to be a Pokémon Master is typically "under that girl's skirt" rather than "in that girl's skirt."
The whole thing about Ash being a Pokémon Master ending the show is stupid for many reasons, the major being that the show hasn't actually said WHAT being a Pokémon Master entails. It can't be winning the Pokémon League, since characters like Lance or Cynthia are never called Pokémon Masters in the show.
Also winning a league dosent make you Pokemon Master, but the writters dosent get it or explain it.
There is an amourshipping fan comic "Road to Master" i think that happens 10 years after the XYZ ending, it says that the one who conquers all 7 leagues (Kanto-Alola) as Champion will become Pokemon Master, but nobody ever did it, Ash won 6 out of 7 in this time gap, win the last one in Kalos, became PM and marry Serena who is Kalos Queen.
Here you have a meaning of what Master means, why is difficult and why even the champions arent Masters and is an 8 chapter fanfic, not even the real deal.
It's generally assumed that all regional Elite 4 members and Champions are considered Pokémon Masters. In fact, Prima *cough* Lorelei *cough* was specifically stated to hold the title.
You're right that winning a single Pokémon League isn't enough to qualify as a Master, as the anime once pointed out what the next step was after winning a League Tournament, although I don't remember what that next step is.
I always assumed that the goal was for him to catch all the Pokemon in a region, as well as win the league championship. But given he never catches everything (and constantly releases everything before going to the next region) and doesn't always win the Pokemon League either in a given region (like Kanto), it's not likely he'll ever become a master.
@@Compucles I keep hearing that the next step is after winning the League Tournaments, was that the challenger can then proceed to face off against the Elite 4 and Champion of that region. Supposedly mentioned somewhere during the Diamond and Pearl seasons.
I remember the "she can violate my rights" line from the Netflix version
Brock wanting to wait 8 years made me realize Brock wanting to be a Pokémon breeder can be a joke about how he wants to "breed" with every legal woman in the show.
At least Brock had hte decently to realize wanting an underaged girl was wrong, unlike Mr Eye-Candy-and-Swimsuits for the 12 and under girls directing the damn thing.
@@Luinta oH ThAt Is A BaD ThInG
If he was 15 she would be 7.
I worry for the pokemon
Lilith Henry Target audience for the show is kids. The girls are the same age as the audience they're going for. It's dumb, and not something I agree with, but it's not the 'he's a creepy old man into little girls' thing.
He's using them for the audience who are the same age as the girls. Aging them up to 18+ doesn't serve much purpose, as the 11-13 year old viewers aren't gone to be interested in adults, and I shudder to think any adults are gone to watch Pokemon for eye candy... Unless they're the type who would want 11-14 year old girls in the first place...
I really wish Takeshi Shudou had more control over the show and movies, his ideas were generally much more interesting than what we ended up getting sadly.
He actually did write a few novels of his view of the Pokémon world back during the original Gen 1 days. It pretty much lacked all of the fantastical elements of the show. Ash always had to worry about food since he didn't have a steady stream of money and had to be careful not to get seriously hurt by Pikachu and Charmander's attacks. Team Rocket were more straightforward thieves and lacked their more flamboyant traits. The world was also a bit more grounded, with Pokémon Training being depicted as something similar to being a wage slave or salaryman job. It was very, very dry.
And while I do think Takeshi Shudo had a lot of good ideas, not all of his preferences were good. He said in one interview that he greatly disliked most evolved Pokémon, which is why Kanto and Johto had Ash's team composed of so many Basic-stage Pokémon and why we got a Pokémon League matchup of Spearow vs. Tentacool.
He wrote a prologue and backstories for all characters, specially Ash's Mom Dhelia (Hanako).
yeah i don't like the pokemon not evolving
You know his idea of an ending would be Pikachu trying to take over the world right? And Ash would get super depressed and go about how dreams will never come true and shit.
Saransh Khanna Which would be infinitely more interesting than just watching Ash wander from region to region never improving as a trainer, developing his character further, or even aging!
“If he ever becomes a Pokemon master, the show will end.”
Here from the future, he does win the League in Sun and Moon and there’s an anime reboot to follow soon.
Seriously? Because it seems to still be going to Sword and Shield
Yea sword and sheild is uhh a reboot I guess
It’s not a reboot tho
He didnt became the best in the world but only in one region so that is not true.
Meowth's mustache looks nothing like Hitler's.
4KIDS think so
Looks more like he wants Pictures of Spiderman
I got kind of a Magnum PI vibe off of it if anything.
BKUZ, Yeah it looks more like Magnum P.I.s mustache then any dictator I’ve seen.
3:10
Nice try FBI.
2:48 for the "Wow Pikachu" meme
And that’s how the meme started
Pokemon was Weird in its early days. I'm glad it's still around
It was but that's what made it unique.
Pokémon still is weird at times.
Pokemon is a huge franchise :D
The first season was the best, after the orange islands the series became very predictable.
Ash: "I'm gonna be a Pokemon master!"
Show creator: "Hahaha, no."
anyone wants some jelly donut
@Egalitarian: Stop Misandry and Gynocentrism how tf is food racist. you don't eat taco bell just to make the mexicans angry.

Can you guys make a Did You Know Movies about Stan Lee in the same style of the Did You Know Gaming about Satoru Iwata.

The only reason they used this scene is because of the meme. Well done.
*Pikachu face* :o
We Need Did You Know Gaming: Gold & Silver Beta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talking about the Jynx controversy without explaining what the original design mimicked/parodied is a bit unprofessional: it is most likely Jynx mimicked the Japanese Ganguro fashion, characterized by bleached hair, fake tan, and brightly colored lipstick, and saw its peak of popularity between the 1990s and the early 2000s; this is mixed with mythological elements from the Yama-uba, depicted with a similar dress and hairstyle to that of Jynx and said to have control over snow. In addition, "Yamamba", another term used to refer to the Yama-uba, was used to describe the more extreme end of the Ganguro fashion, tying the two theories together.
They said why Jynx received controversy, not that it was in fact based on offensive stuff. Why does it matter what its actually origin is? Which by the way nobody fully agrees on.
Fun Fact: In the episode "Ash Catches a Pokemon" the spanish translation for bug used was "bicho" which means bug in many countries like Mexico where the Dub was made, but using the exact same Dub in Puerto Rico, the first release of the episode included the word but later on was completely cut off because in Puerto Rico 'bicho" is a word that's use for 'penis' but in a curse/bad word.
Poor Shudo-san. He had some stupid ideas, but at least most were gold. AND he was the only one on the team who wanted a real ending, and he respected the viewing audience the most. The eventual direction of the anime is a spit in the face of the original lead writer. Yes, he was far from a perfect man, but he cared the most.
Aw man! I would have loved a movie explaining why regular animals and pokemon exist and the differences! The premis for it was a bit of a stretch.
Although Spell of the Unown ended up being the best Pokémon movie to date (In my opinion), so it would have been sad if we didn't get what we got
I'm not a man who's easily bothered, but that 'eye candy' comment was downright uncomfortable.
I was deeply insulted to learn that as well. I can't get to enjoy Misty as a character any more because the studio thinks I just want to ogle a different female preteen every generation. Good to know I'm thought so highly of. >:T
Yeah me too, I really like some of the girls, specially Serena, but for me is a TOP5 female characters not just an eye candy or that souless waifu that you drop after 4 months like many animes.
I don't mind. But hey. I'm just a classy gent who loves me some well designed attractive waifus.
I mean, it's Japan. Compare the outfits to the male and female Player Characters.
Red has a long shirt and jeans while Leaf has a sleeveless top and a miniskirt.
Ethan has a normal shirt and shorts that extend past his knees while Kris wears spandex and Lyra practically wears Daisy Dukes.
Brendan is completely covered while May's shirt acts like a skirt and she wears spandex shorts that stop below the knees. Even in the remakes, May shows a lot more skin than Brendan.
Lucas got the typical shirt/jeans combo while Dawn got a micro miniskirt so short it barely went past her hips. And in Platinum, her new look made many people wonder if she was actually wearing anything at all under her coat.
Hilbert got a full sleeve jacket and jeans, while Hilda got a sleeveless shirt and short shorts.
Calem's outfit has his full body covered while Serena gets another sleeveless top, a skirt, and over the knee socks. That's not even mentioning the MULTIPLE sex-appeal outfits her anime counterpart wears. Seriously, look up Serena's Florges cosplay. Hell, when she cosplayed as Ash in one episode, she wore Ash's clothes yet they mysteriously became more form-fitting on her, emphasizing her figure despite being designed for a male.
While Elios got a standard shirt and shorts, his shorts still goes over the knee. Selene, meanwhile, got another pair of short shorts and her default top in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon was yet another sleeveless outfit and emphasized her figure a lot more.
Chase gets shorts instead of jeans in his Red-inspired outfit, but Elaine still gets the same short-shorts all the other girls gets, but at least her shirt has sleeves, such as they are.
And hell, a lot of the female clothes options in Gen 6 and 7 emphasize the female PC's figure, whereas the male clothing options are mostly color and/or texture swaps of his default outfit.
You forget the part where this is a children's show.
I love how all the seemingly best episodes were banned in order to protect peoples' feelings.
I remember seeing Tentacool and Tentacruel, as well as Tower of Terror on Netflix.
It was only banned until around 2004 or so.
I first watched those on VHS
Both episodes were eventually put back into circulation, the only episodes to be pulled and later reinstated.
Good for you.
It was only Cartoon Network that elected not to air those episodes for a few years. It wasn't outright banned.
3:23, then why not have a new character that will act as for Ash's passing the torch to the new protagonist in the future?
No, terrible. Ash is iconic. If they would remove him the show would get less viewers.
TortoiseBlaster
Well I have some news for you
"Switching out girls provides new eye candy"
"Hehe- Wha? Why do I hear sirens?"
Nothing about jelly donuts?
Sparky Dood These donuts are great!
My grandmother was Japanese so as a kid I would receive Pokémon items from Japan. One of those items was a VHS tape that featured the “Pikachu’s Vacation” short and the episode “Holiday Hi-Jynx” both in the original Japanese language without subtitles.
"In that girls skirt" really?
I thought it went, when translated: "Through the forest and the mountains, in the fire and the ocean my best efforts I'll exert.
Also way up high and deep beneath the ocean and even under that girls skirt."
The key thing being: "even under that girls skirt", this is the first time its said as "in that girls skirt". Which makes even less sense when pikachu went UNDER the skirt not in it; I think someone got the lyrics translated wrong.
Especially since "in that girls skirt sounds just wrong on many levels"
How did Pokémon not win the Madness show for best 90's cartoon? It was a worldwide movement.
4:04 I get that Visual Pun! :3
I can't find it
@@Makocat, if you didn't get the joke, it was when the guy said "Even though the show was a *hit*" The screen plays a clip of Misty hitting Ash.
@@AshGreninja i got it but the time stamp was 404 which is the code number for something not found online. Not unlike my comedy
2:20 this is the most wholesome, sacred, and adorable thing in all the world
Ash wins in Alola but guess he’s still not a master with new regions to explore and that he’ll never catch them all
5:46 I find it hypocritical that *this* scene was considered “too risqué” for children, yet parents would happily watch Mrs. Doubtfire with their children
I clicked on this video to learn about censorship, and was surprised to get a bunch of facts that had nothing to do with censorship. I enjoyed the video, but it's a little annoying to pad the video with non censorship related Pokemon facts.
Lol I forgot thats what the Video was about XD
Dinosaur King was also censored just like with Pokemon, but it took a long time to find season 1 of Dinosaur King in japan, all of the sites had nothing but the DUB, so if I want to see a SUB version of Pokemon? where so I go?
its called hitting the 10 minute mark
The original title of this video when it was still on the Film theory Channel is "Why ash would never be a pokemon master"
I want to see that movie of that t rex
3:02 THEY'RE LIKE 12 THO??!!
Yeah...? And 12-year-olds have crushes. Or did you forget what it felt like to be 12 and have crushes on cute boys/girls?
Chillin' Like a Villain Killin' Krillin This was a statement published by an adult man in defence to underage girls. Not to mention, Pokemon has plenty of adult fans as well that he could have been referencing.
@@Idontknow-sb7wb Are you talking about Chibz's comment? Because it's ridiculous to "defend" underaged girls from being made to be appealing to underaged boys. It's a children's show aimed primarily at young boys, so obviously they're going to include young girls that the young boys will like and be drawn to.
"Ash will never be a Pokemon master" is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard. That's like saying Olympic medalists should stop practicing after they win a medal.
The names of the main characters are chosen by Nintendo (Ash, Misty, Brock.) The same goes for the towns.
Why did you not explain the Japanese cultural origins of the Jynx design? That context helps clarify that it was not ever remotely designed to be offensive.
Nobody implied it was designed to be offensive.
"The shows creators also never want to make Ash a Pokemon master or the show will end"
Oh boy... sun and moon last season?
Who's here knowing that Ash is now a Pokemon Champion, lmao
"...and wear things like bathing suits." They're... they're 10. Also I always thought Jynx's face was supposed to be heavily in shadow and not physically black colored.
It is. You can't see Jynx actual face, it's just people being offended by something that's not there.
Yeah and the show is for ten year olds.
My Personal Headcanon is that Jynx was just Frostbitten being an Ice Type.
8:30 - 8:35 DAMN... I really feel bad for Shudo. :( He seriously wanted to do a completely different take for a new Pokemon movie. Having Ash and the gang team up with Team Rocket to stop the main antagonist would've been very refreshing.
I really hope that the original concept would be revisited in a new movie.
I was kinda given the impression that the designers just sent Shudou designs of new Pokemon just to stop him from drinking
It’s not like we’ve heard these same facts over and over again in every did you know movie and did you know gaming Pokémon themed episode
the morality of the story is: either you die as a legendary pokemon master, or live long enough to see yourself becoming ash ketchum and by ash i mean a total loser
Nice to have this back, I feel like it's one of the first Did You Know videos I saw.
game center cx interview has given like the most info into pokemon than any other interview ever.
About the movies, in the 4th one, Pokémon 4ever, the English version had a few scenes added at the beginning. This was commisionned by 4Kids so they could add more info in fear of losing the audience. The scene in question is when Ash, Misty and Brock are talking to Professor Oak via a terminal, they added some info on Suicune, cut a portion where Tracey talked after Ash's Muk hugged Oak... and added a portion about Oak having a "secret".
I believe it was because the audience... might not have caught on that the young boy Samuel that Ash meets... is actually a young Professor Oak, causing your brain to break down due to time paradoxes.
The fact that they actually realized nobody found Brock racist is amazing. There are way too many instances nowadays where people of different cultures tell other people when they should be offended by something imo
misty is best girl, and the fact she was removed for new eye candy is just distasteful.

Even though I like the third Pokemon movie, I would've liked to see the original idea more.
I'm pretty sure I have the tower of terror and the tentacruel episode on video tape. :p
It was only banned for about 3 or 4 years, after the VHS tapes were released and long before the DVD boxsets. By the time the show moved from Kids WB to Cartoon Network, the episodes were un-banned.
tower of terror was banned because ash literally died in it
It were banned in USA in LATAM it were a pretty common episodes.
Double D - Only in America: I'm pretty sure both ITV and Sky One showed it.
Those episodes were on the most recent release of the first season on dvd by viz media
You can tell that this was re-uploaded because he mentioned that Misty and Brock would never come back, but in Sun and Moon... Yeah...
I guess he was talking about they return has fixed characters in the series at the time he was interviewd
Not to mention that every series of the show has a story arc where an old companion comes back for a few episodes
Except for XY, though I guess you could count the final episode, since Cilan came back and had an adventure with Clemont and Bonnie.
Also, the trivia about Misty coming back explicitly said she would never come back as a permanent character.
Ian Rennebohm he didn’t say that they never came back, he said that the person who was talking about Misty and Brock SAID that they wouldn’t come back.
Never comeback as a permanent character
Did you know: the quote “gotta catch em all” doesn’t apply to the show. How does ash perceives a pokemon master? Is it winning all leagues or catching all pokemon. Cause ash didn’t do either.
It’s funny that gun usage is censored in the country that has an actual gun problem.
I would've loved a movie that explained animals and regular plants. We do see animals in the 1st season occasionally.
Oooooohh...I get it why Ash couldn't be a Pokemon Master...If he does, the show will end.
I guess that makes sence...and Sans!
(megalovania intensity)
It makes so much sense why the 3rd Pokemon movie was so sad now...
Poor Tracey just got shafted.
I like all of these facts! They are so fast-paced and informative.
So the Legend of Dratini episode was removed because Kaiser aimed a gun at Ash, but Squirtle Squad wasn’t even though shoppers aimed guns at Ash after Team Rocket robbed the store. I think the Legend of Dratini episode should have been aired anyways.
3:20
Well that didn’t age well, in the best way possible
um "japanese dub" it's not the original japanese version, but for example non japanese cartoon/movie DUBBED into japanese
Were most of these "banned" episodes really banned in the US because i remember almost all of those episodes.. except the pool one
Tentacool and Tentacruel episode was pulled for a couple of years, but it later re-aired on a weekday afternoon.
What's Wrong With People Nowadays?
It's Not The 90's Anymore???
As An Adult, I'd Like To See The Original Version of the Story, Not This Censored Crap...
I Watch Movies On TV Shows For Adult People Now, But I Also Watch Popular Animes And Cartoons...
People Are Going To Grow Up!!!
4:04 did you just
also you can't call them annotations anymore. they're end cards lol
I wonder if Jynx would've received an evolution if she hadn't been accused of blackface
Another fact about Spell of the Unown is it was originally going to be called Lord of the Unknown Tower as is seen in early trailers.
Okay the "that girl's skirt" thing is hilarious.
I remember seeing both the ‘tower of terror’ and the Tentacruel episode when I was little. Had no idea they were eventually banned.
I've heard all this before. In fact this reminds me a lot of the DidYouKnowAnime's videos on pokemon.
The funny thing is, in the swedish dub the line about if Caterpie had it cosy in it's pokeball. Also the gaint Tentacruel episode was broadcasted in Sweden in the right order. The swedish dub was more faithful to the original.
I remember at some point Ash explains he caught all those Tauros when training to catch Pokémon at Professor Oak’s or something. Doesn’t make sense canonically, but at least they tried
It’s my dad who first told me about Electric Soldier Porygon. He said “There was this Pokémon episode that caused a bunch of kids in Japan to have seizures”!
