: This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode. The [[Safari Zone]] warden points a gun at [[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] head, and even shoots the gun at [[Team Rocket]]. The banning of this episode left a major plot hole, as this was the episode where Ash captured all 30 of his [[Ash's Tauros|Tauros]]. | : This episode was banned due to the prevalent usage of handguns throughout the episode.
