Goh is confused, until Ash explains that he participated in the local League tournament and won it. ![]() No sooner has Goh registered for the competition when two boys running past them suddenly stop and come up to Ash, excitedly addressing him as the Alola League Champion and taking photos with him. Since it's a team competition, he invites Ash to come along, which he happily agrees to.Īsh and Goh travel to the uninhabited island where the race is held.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining PearlĪsh and Goh enter the Pokémon Catch Adventure Race in Alola, where they’ll catch Pokémon in order to pass checkpoints, all while traversing a mountainous racecourse to the finish.Neither Disney XD nor The Pokémon Company have said that’s the case - it’s possible that the episode has just been shifted to a much, much later date - but we’ve reached out to both for clarification. ![]() Some fans have been quick to assume that Sun and Moon’s Passimian episode has suffered the same fate, and will never be seen outside of Japan. As such, it’s not only one of the few episodes to never leave Asia, but also part of a small group of Pokémon cartoons that have been banned from re-airing. She’s since been updated to have a purple face instead, but the original episode remains unchanged. The series’ 250th episode starred the Pokémon Jynx, whose original design saw her with an entirely black-colored face and appearance reminiscent of offensive African-American caricatures. It’s also an issue Pokémon has faced and handled before the last episode outright excluded from the dubbed version of the anime dealt with a character in seeming blackface as well. That kind of gag definitely doesn’t fly in America, no matter how it fits into the context of the episode. So it looks like TPCi is skipping the Passimian episode.and I can uh.understand why /RnwPai1FaN- JPRPokeTrainer98 July 4, 2018 What’s most troubling is where Ash’s Passimian passion leads him: He ends up wearing a costume that resembles the Pokémon, which includes painting his entire face black. The storyline of this episode sounds weird, but that’s nothing new for Pokémon. His desire to protect and support the Pokémon runs so deep that he begins acting like them he even walks on all fours, just like Passimian do. Episode 64 of Sun and Moon is called “Touchdown of Friendship!!” in Japanese, and involves Ash Ketchum developing serious sympathy for a tribe of the lemur-like Pokémon Passimian. ![]() Yet with this particular episode, which ran in Japan on March 1, the decision not to show it to American audiences makes sense. The Pokémon Company seemingly choosing to hold back an episode from the West is a surprising, but not unprecedented, move. Instead, the channel will skip ahead to the following one in the season - leaving a Pokémon episode unaired stateside for the first time since 2002. ![]() Disney XD, the kids cable network and home to the Pokémon cartoons, won’t be airing an upcoming episode of the Sun and Moon anime, according to its programming schedule for July 16.
