This is basically a thread to discuss opinions regarding the banned episodes. Worldwide Bans: Electric Soldier Porygon: While I agree that the seizures were indeed a serious issue and they should have gone on a hiatus, I don't think they should have banned this completely. For example, for both the Japanese version and the North American version (never dubbed), they could have added a big warning in capital letters that basically would have said, "WARNING! WHEN THIS EPISODE ORIGINALLY AIRED IN JAPAN, THERE WERE REPORTS OF SEIZURES; THEREFORE, VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!" 4-Kids Entertainment Bans: The Legend of Dratini: This was solely banned for the use of guns. However, I found nothing wrong with it, and all they had to do was put a warning that basically said that guns were used multiple times in this episode. They also could have done what they did for Rizegreymon's (Digimon Data Squad) and made the shooting sounds comical shooting sounds. The Ice Cave: This was banned because of Jynx's color. However, all they had to do was re-color Jynx's skin like they did in the Mean with Envy episode (Season 8, Advanced Battle), so why didn't they? This also leads to me wonder, though. Why wasn't Holiday Hi-Jynx (Season 1, Indigo League)? Jynx had the same dark skin there. Beauty and the Beach: This is one of the only banned episodes to actually get aired at a later date. However, it was originally banned simply because of the breasts scene with James. Why that's bad, I'll never know. That pretty covers all of the important ones.
