KidsWB have finnally done something right!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

At the moment, Dan's in America to see his girlfriend (aww), but he managed to see the episode that caused all the japanese kids to have epilectic fits years ago. He sent us this report:

"It appears KidsWB wanted to have a little fun this April, and finally broadcasted Electric Soldier Porygon unscheduled, and with a very cringe worth title that we at PUK really do not think is acceptable. However, we are fortunate enough to receive a copy of "Seize and Desist", and have made a load of high quality screenshots, and the episode guide has also been updated! (Psythors' Note: It'll be at the bottom of the list)

Our favourite quotes from the episode include:
Jessie - "Faster! Unless you want to be a Pory - GONE!"
Jessie, James, and Meowth - "Team Rocket's logging off again!"
James - "Leave me alone, I'm write-protected!"

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the episode was edited slightly, so you don't get seizures. The frame rate it seems in the flashing scenes has been reduced, and a dimmer has been added.

All this is so exciting, with only one banned episode now! Hopefully, we'll be seeing the Legend of Dratini on our screens soon.

Also, interesting to note, they used the original intro, and as you can see, the original title screen. This either means that they've had it dubbed for a long time, and have just been keeping it from us, or they just wanted it to fit in place in series. But, look what happened to Beauty and the Beach! Japanese left in, Orange Islands intro, and the wrong font for the title!"

Wow, lets hope that Sky One show us this soon! Remember to check the episode guide section!
