Description: |
Holiday at Acapulco (Banned Episode)
Air Date: July 29, 1997
Ash, Misty and Brock find their way to the beautiful beach resort of Porta Vista, and decide more...to take a break there.
This is the original uncut Japanese version of Pokemon Episode 18: Holiday at Acapulco that aired on Japanese television on July 29, 1997. The reason this episode was banned from all countries other than Japan was because there was a sequence halfway into the episode where James crossdresses and is wearing a bikini with inflatable breasts. That one 25 second sequence caused so much controversy that it was banned outside of Japan for almost 3 years, but, on June 24, 2000, Kids' WB aired an edited version of the episode, and it was dubbed as "The Lost Episode" and titled "Beauty and the Beach". It re-aired again in August 2000, but since then, it has never re-aired again anywhere in the world other than (possibly) Japan. The United States is currently the only other country other than Japan to have aired this episode. This is in Japanese with English subtitles.
The differences between the original Japanese version and the english version aired in the United States:
- There are many differences in music and sound throughout the episode. The English version of this episode has some of the Orange Island music, while the Japanese version keeps in check with the music used in the other episodes in the same season.
- there is profanity used in the Japanese version, such as the word "shit" that is used by Ash; and obviously, there isn't any profanity in the English version.
- All shots of James wearing a women's bikini with inflatable breasts were cut from the English version.
- In almost all of the English version of the Pokemon episodes, usually the Japanese text on signs, banners, posters, etc. are usually translated. in the English version, only the text on the trophy Mrs. Ketchum is holding is translated, and it says "First Place in our Hearts: Ash Ketchum"
- The "Who's That Pokemon?" in the English version is Pidgeotto, but in the Japanese Version, it is Brutella (Obaba) being hit over the head with a kitchen sink. This is the first time out of 2 times (the second time is Jessie in a Venomoth suit in EP163) in any of the Japanese episodes where a human is used in the "Who's That Pokemon?" segment. The third object thrown at Obaba (possibly a frying pan or a smooth rock) has OLM (the company that produces the animation for the Pokemon TV series and movies)'s company logo written on it.
-The winner of the beauty contest in the dub is Ash. In this version, his mother won the beauty contest.
