I don't know when these episodes will air, but I'm positive they will. Hopefully around BW033

Not only is Global Link an entirely different problem(its like saying, my homework assignment yesterday was postponed, so now i believe i'll never see TR arc!), but they were closed for different reasons. Global Link was delayed because of faulty planning and not having the server power to hold the millions of BW users, TR arc was delayed to be more sensitive those affected by the disaster. I know GL has now been delayed because of the EQ, but thats only because they're to sissy to reveal GL, probably trying to prolong the money they'll have to spend to keep the servers up. Anyway, TR arc could theoretically be put on anytime they're not restricted like GL was, and seeing as it hasn't been it on, its probably just like they said, postponed. A few weeks isn't enough for people to get over it. A month or two, even that isn't very good, but would make for a better release date.
Honestly, just don't worry about it. You're stressing yourself out for no reason. I wouldn't be surprised if it really was delayed for 1-3 months, its a very hard time in Japan, and it just isn't sensitive to be playing it.

Hush, keep it down
You're reading too much into what I said.
Global Link was given a date, then it was delayed. That can very well happen here. Until the broadcast has actually begun, anything TV Tokyo says is just that - words.
What frustrates me is that people think there ever will be a time when airing these actually is appropriate. A nuclear incident just doesn't go away in '1 to 3 months.'

I clearly said, even a month or two isn't enough for Japan to get over this ordeal. But its much better than releasing it almost immediately after the disaster.
Even if being postponed is just 'words', just 'words' is plenty more than ridiculous fan speculation.
I personally think these episodes will be aired in the US, at least, since the US isn't experiencing such a catastrophe.
I believe something like that happened in the past, right? Some sort of episode in Japanese was postponed, and then it was aired in English in the correct order?

The Whiscash & Barboach Episode(Originally AG101) was set to air but was "skipped" in Japan because of earthquakes that occured just days before & it involved earthquakes but the US didn't air this.

That AG episode was filler where as this two parter is too important to skip in any countries. US included.
Hell, TV Tokyo has stated that they will air it eventually, meaning that they know how important these episodes are
Initially, it did air in the United States. I think you mean that it didn't air in the United States after the events of 9/11.
Anyway, I no longer care whether these episodes are skipped. I was going crazy since I was expecting them to be aired soon but now I've realized that it just doesn't matter. The reason I don't think it matters is because I'm sure I would've been disappointed by something in these episodes at one point. These types of episodes are always over-hyped and turn out to be just average, so I've learned not to expect much from them. I also get that it isn't the proper time to be showing these episodes in Japan. Anyway, the way other people are talking about these episodes, you'd think that God himself was making an appearance or something :x

That was earthquakes for earthquakes thought wasnt it? Do we even know what the controversial content is in these eps? I mean, Im assuming that it was the part where the ground shatters.......Im not sure whether that is intrinsically linked to earthquakes to a sufficient extent to cause them not to dub it.
Episodes like Cresselia v Darkrai were different though. These looked amazing and Im sure they will be someday.
And that Arceus movie was rubbish wasnt it?
So people are having the same discussion since two ago.
This is what we know:
1. On the TV-Tokyo episode page it was stated that they will air the episodes later [they did not give a definite date or time frame]
2. The fact that the episodes are not airing is correlated with the tragedies that occurred in Japan
3. The situation in Japan from said tragedies is not something that immediately gets better and can simple move on, they are tackling a nuclear problem with still unforeseeable consequences
4. Some fans are speculating that these episodes are too important to be skipped
This is what we don't know:
1. Are the episodes [or even this series for that matter] important enough for TV-Tokyo to risk bad publicity for their whole company?

yes they will air before BW033 cuz it will make a bigger plot hole or if they skip BW033 the plot hole will be even bigger if the don't show BW023, BW024 and BW026 so they will show the three episodes in May so then BW033 will be at the end of May and by June the show will be back on track

if they do air it soon I think they might just air it as an hour long episode to get it over with.

Sylveon, tho.
Does anyone know when any best wishes episodes will air in the UK? I saw the first two eps in the school holidays but i'm still waiting on more.
Seeing that they made trailers for the damn thing and that there're episodes leading up to it, then there's possibility that TV Tokyo give what they promise.
Eternal Darkness
Eternal Evil
Yep. Destroying a city(possibly) is better than an Earthquake doing almost nothing at all.
I wish we knew what Pikachu was doing in that one trailer, though.

Are you kidding me?! I distinctly remember that episode being aired in the US PRIOR TO 9/11! Not only that, but that episode was part of the INDIGO SAGA, and by the time 9/11 happened, Gold and Silver had already been released in the US, and THE INDIGO LEAGUE WAS OVER! Now I will concede that that scene was edited out of reruns of the episode, but don't you DARE try to tell me that no one ever saw that episode in the US!
Eternal Darkness
Eternal Evil
Maybe, probably not though.
