But... why? ._.; Why did they make those episodes? They are clashing with the original plot of the series.
Those were the fillers of the Kanto region.
The plot for "Beauty and the Beach", which is what Reno showed was basically a beauty contest between the females, or something of that sort. Apparently James just HAD to join in. >_>;
And the Porygon one was also a filler...
Fillers are good ways to introduce Pokemon that haven't been talked about yet. However, the Kanto Fillers just got it right. Not the Johto the Hoenn, or even the Diamond/Pearl (At least in my opinion).
4Kids did decide to show "Beauty in the Beach" if I recalled correctly. But they removed so much of those 'dirty parts' to the point the plot really changed. In other words, it was an epic fail.
There were other banned episodes...Erm...the one about the Safari Zone. That was banned for the high use of guns-being-pointed-at-people. This episode was a crucial point in Kanto since that's where Ash caught >9000 Tauros. Now America doesn't know. :/ The other banned episode was (a filler?) one that included Jynx. It was excluded because of Jynx. During that time, there was many concern that Jynx was a racist character, so that's pretty much it.
I'm changing your two's names.
EDIT: Ace Trainer is basically a Cool Trainer.
