Trivia

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved

• This is the first episode to be skipped since the unaired episode of the Advanced Generation series back in 2004. All three episodes were put on hold because of an earthquake that hit Japan. Unlike that episode, this episode and BW024 will be aired sometime in the future most likely because of their significance to the anime's plot.
