Ash catching 30 Tauros made me lol
 
Wow. Team Rocket is really dangerous. I would never want to me wrapped by Arbok. D: But, it was funny seeing Jessie flirt with the old man. Dragonair is so elegant like. Which is why it's my favorite Dragon Pokemon. Misty called Staryu Starmie. (-_-)

Man, did I laughed when Team Rocket did their motto while being under fire. This episode itself was pretty much vitally important for the continuity in the series. I remember a lot of people that I grew up with were really confused when Ash suddenly had thirty Tauros.
I always assumed that I missed an episode. (I had to do homework when the show was on.)

As it turns out I did miss an episode, but not because of homework. :)

For the sake of Arceus, after 34 episodes using Pokemons as weapons, why did Team Rocket used a gun in this episode? This disturbs me a lot.

It took me years (yes, years) until I find the episode which Ash caught his herd of Tauros.

I saw this epsiode a week ago for the first time. I liked it and it explained the tauros. Also had the misty lure part

I appreciate the irony of the situation; Ash found and caught 30 Tauros easily in the anime while in the games, they're some of the rarest and hardest Pokemon to catch. :p

Anyway, after watching this episode again, I gotta say that it was just as amazing as I remembered it. I especially loved the Team Rocket scenes; James's parachute was interesting and clever even if it didn't work as well as he had hoped lol. I also liked that Jessie tried to flirt with the Safari Zone warden and I noticed that she was dressed in ganguro fashion again. I also noticed that Ash spoke to Staryu telepathically, which I found strange. Anyway, I thought the episode was great. Classic Kanto.

I loved this episode. I saw it for the first time only a few years ago and even though I prefer the dub, it's one of my favourites. Dragon Valley is incredibly beautiful, I love the colour scheme and landscape. The part where the Warden realises that his friend has evolved and had children always brings me to tears, it's so beautiful! That and Dragonair is one of my all time favourite pokemon.

It's a shame that this episode is banned, but I can see why this is banned, Kaiser pointing a gun at Ash is one of the reason, but guns were pointed at Ash in the Squirtle squade episode too.

But scenes like Mewoth putting hitler mustaches, Kaiser firing gun at Team Rocket is a good reason for 4kids to ban this episode.

But still, this violent episode is important because in this episode, Ash caugth 30
Tauros. So the banning of this episode left a plot-hole in the english version of the Kanto saga episodes.

This episode is one of my favorites and one of the most hilarious episodes imo. I also thought it had some beautiful moments with Dragonair near the end as well.
10/10

I liked the Safari Zone warden and his guns lol. Ash catching 30 Tauros was lame though but Dragonair saving Ash from drowning was kind of cool.

Wow I wish this episode had aired in English cuz it was great. I liked Meowth's interrogation scene with the old warden guy and I liked how Ash kept accidentally catching Tauros in the Safari zone. :D

This was a good episode so it's a shame it was banned. The warden was a cool old dude and the Tauros gag parts were enjoyable. 7/10

4Kids didn't ban the episode. One of the voice actors said that the Dratini and Porygon episodes DID get dubbed, but didn't get broadcasted for different reasons:

1. The networks wouldn't let them air the Dratini episode because of the violence.
2. Nintendo wouldn't let them air the Porygon episode because of the seizure scenes...despite the fact that the dub edited those scenes to slow the framerate.

What is your source for the claim that the Dratini episode got dubbed?
