Synopsis
Ash Ketchum has only one thing in mind: he wants to become the world’s best Pokémon trainer! Pokémon are small animal-like creatures that can be captured by humans. People who train the powers of their Pokémon and compete in a battle are called Pokémon trainers. Ash soon realises, however, that Pokémon training is not all fun and that he also has some duties towards his little monsters. A practically never-ending adventure begins for Ash.
Banned Episodes:
“018 Beauty and the Beach”:
Apparently, for youth protection reasons, the episode was skipped in the German version and many others of Pokémon. In the USA, the episode was later made up as a “Lost Episode”, but the scene in which James was seen with fake breasts was cut out.
“035 The Legend of Dratini”:
This episode was also not shown in Germany, the USA, and other countries for youth protection reasons. In this episode, several characters are threatened with a gun. Ash catches numerous Tauros in the Safari Zone in this episode.
“038 Electric Soldier Porygon”:
When first broadcasted in Japan, various scenes with explosions (depicted as red and blue flashing) caused several hundred viewers to have epileptic seizures. The broadcast of the series was interrupted for four months after this incident. The episode was never replayed and was not broadcasted abroad. Porygon and his later evolutions have not appeared in the anime since.
“252 The Ice Cave!”:
Jynx’s skin colour and appearance led to accusations of racism against the producers in the USA. Therefore, this episode was not aired in the USA, Germany and other countries using the US version as a template. In the video games and subsequent seasons, Jynx’s skin was subsequently dyed purple.

All right, you! I don’t think you know who you’re dealing with! But I’m Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town! And I’m gonna be the world’s greatest Pokémon Master!

La la la la la la,
I kinda like this song.
La la la la la la,
Why don’t you sing along?
La la la la la la,

For the Girls.
For! The! Girls! Yeah! Mmm!
