There's not a day that goes by when I'm glad this guy did what he did without being lynched.

Back in my day Pokemon episodes got banned because the male antagonist wore fake inflatable boobs and participated in a bathing suit contest.

That was a classic!

And back in my day, Pokémon episodes sometimes got banned over guns.

Censors are so fickle hahaha silly censors.

At least Japan didn't see it as a problem.

Man, it really doesn't feel that long ago since that Porygon episode that sent kids into seizures.

Good times. Goooooood times.

I remember when it went down, I had to track down a video copy of it right away to see it for myself!

Can't they just trim back the face paint a bit?

Ash could simply not paint his face if they want to do it that way.

I'd hate to necro this thread but recently Dogasu, an ex staff member from Bulbagarden had a massive rant over the episode.

Geez, some people have too much free time on their hands.

This seems to be the norm with Bulbagarden and anyone associated with them. Dogasu gets super pissy over translations and always uses the Japanese names. I remember him ranting once about how he hates when fans go back and forth from using the Japanese and English names.

Oh yeah, he’s a total sperg. He also throws a hissy fit whenever someone dares to criticize “muh Japanese version”. Go to his website and he has an article about this episode, and it features the word “problematic”. Anyone who uses that word is an SJW, no exceptions.

Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[Mr. Bung]

I can't fucking wait for Game Freak to pull a Jynx and redesign this Pokémon so as to avoid further offending their fellow dindu Pokéfans who in reality don't give a shit about this since the subbed episode's already available for pirating.

But seriously, this is based off a fucking lemur, some species of which naturally are wearing blackface.

A two year old necro? Damn son.

Yeah sorry, it was an oversight. Shit's more relevant in 2020 than ever though.

Im just amazed they didn't try to say ash acting like a Pokemon and trying to learn it's ways is cultural appropriation or some bs like that
