How many banned Pokemon episodes are there?

Answer 1

There are hundreds of episodes of the Pokemon anime; however, for various reasons, some have been taken out of the rotation of reruns in some countries. Pokemon is aimed at young children but like many anime in the USA Pokemon is edited due to Americanization and censorship; but some episodes were banned. In Japan children are able watch more violent show and swearing and other stuff then children in the USA.
