"Beauty and the Beach", known in Japan as "Aopulco no Kyūjitsu" (アオプルコのきゅうじつ, Aopuruko no Kyūjitsu?, lit. "Aopulco Holiday"), is banned in all countries that receive the series from 4Kids Entertainment. It is the 18th episode of the original Japanese series. On June 24, 2000, a newly produced English-language version of the episode aired on Kids' WB! as "Beauty and the Beach:. Promoted as a "lost episode" special presentation, it has only received one rerun and has not yet been shown elsewhere or released on DVD or VHS.
In this episode, the female characters all enter a beauty contest. Team Rocket also enters, with James donning a suit with inflatable breasts. As one scene of the episode was about James showing off his artificial cleavage for humorous effect, this scene was removed from the English-language version when it aired.

"Miniryu no Densetsu" (ミニリュウのでんせつ, Miniryū no Densetsu?, lit. "The Legend of Miniryu") was the second episode to be banned by 4Kids Entertainment; this was the 35th episode of the original Japanese series. At several points in this episode, guns are pointed at people threateningly, and warning shots are fired. Due to the sensitivity of the American public to guns in children's shows (particularly the image of a child being threatened with a gun),[1] the episode was never aired for American circulation.
The removal of this episode leads to continuity problems, as Ash captured 30 Tauros in this episode. The Tauros appear in later episodes, even being used in Pok
