Beauty & The Beach! (018)

Yeah, that left a permanent image in my mind.... bleaugh

**~~Dattebayo~~** · 10th June 2007, 5:30 AM

It's a good idea they banned the episode in the USA because it will turn kids into future sexual predators.

**Lord of Music** · 11th June 2007, 7:31 AM

Yeah like a lot of them now.

I'veonly seen the butchered version but from what I've heard I don't know waether to laugh or cry at James with cleavage

**Typo** · 1st September 2007, 3:23 PM

James is just, scary.....

**Battra** · 15th October 2007, 2:52 PM

I remember seeing the butchered version of it when it first was on it was good, just as expected though Cartoon NetworK skipped this episode in their early morning broadcast, but at least I was able to find a fan sub of it on youtube. A funny Misty's reaction to when Ash said she looked like a girl was hilarious and James with inflatable bikini is very funny especially when he makes them larger and Misty's reaction was priceless. I must say James does make a good girl.

I have seen both the original version and the dub and the thing with James really freaks me out and from this I can say it is no surprise that this particular scene got cut out of the episode when it was finally dubbed into English and aired in the US albeit only once.

**Leona** · 30th November 2007, 12:01 PM

i managed to see the US version of this like a year ago >.o they were right about it being severly cut in time. :\

**Kataphrut** · 18th January 2008, 9:26 AM

I can see why they banned this episode. Fake boobs are NOT attractive.

**bhrettzerda053** · 26th March 2008, 3:46 AM

That episode turns to be aired already in the English dub, but there are things worse than that. James turning to win a beauty contest????!!! *laughs* It's the wackiest and the worst kind of humor everyone knows. Have a life too, James!

**Hooray4Homestar** · 19th April 2008, 8:44 PM

The first time I saw this episode, I was having the jibblies for hours. Ugh... I just can't get it out of my mind! There is definitely something wrong with James.

**Sonic15** · 19th June 2008, 5:44 PM

James with boobs... Priceless!

**(s.i.e)** · 5th July 2008, 8:52 PM

yes this episode is master

i loved the bikini contest where james weared a womensuit, i mean how crazy can a person be.

**Manaphyfan12** · 9th July 2008, 2:07 AM

Here was the script for the banned scenes:

(Jessie and James bump Misty out of the way as the crowd is cheering for her.)
Misty: James, aren't you a boy?
James: What does it matter when I'm this beautiful? And look, I can make my chest even bigger!
(He adjusts nozzle, his knockers inflate)
James: Perfect! (Misty looks horrified)

Brock: Suddenly, two mistresses appeared. But will the judges think their appearance is rude?

(Crowd goes wild. Misty cries.)

James: Wait until you're older and have these! (waving breasts in Misty's face).

The one with the Dragonair...

The one where Ash catch's the Tauros was banned because some guy held a gun to Ashs face.

**mimitchi33** · 29th September 2008, 1:18 PM

The scene with Jame's boobs was funny!
"Wait till you're older and have these!"
I even saw the English version! It was cool!
I wish Pokemon USA releases Beauty and The Beach on DVD!

Long ago, in the 1990's, I think I might have actually seen this episode dubbed.

I think that James, with those basketball-sized things he calls boobs, might've completely wiped it from my memory and warped my fragile little mind.

Thankfully I've seen enough to know this was a great episode

Banned or not, this is definitely a classic episode. Maybe not the most famous banned episode (read: Electric Soldier Porygon), but by far the most memorable, at least to me.

**nickstr** · 20th October 2008, 6:13 AM

The only fanservice in this episode that I liked was Misty appearing in a red bikini almost identical to the one she wore in her R/B sprite. Personally, I am glad that I did not see the original version first as it would have scared me for life and saw the dub. There was fanservice in this episode not only for Misty fans but also for Brock fans and Ash fans as well. I am not sure whether I would call the thing with James fanservice or just plain disturbing.

**flyboy1308** · 20th October 2008, 6:56 AM

"Wait until you're older and you have these", as James waves the boobs in Misty's face made me lol, out loud.

Even without the cleavage, it was an OK filler.

**HoennMaster** · 20th October 2008, 7:44 AM

So I just read Bulbapedia.....Ash won the contest in the dub?

**nickstr** · 22nd October 2008, 1:13 PM

No, Ash's mother won the contest and had the trophy engraved as "Ash number one in our hearts" instead of with her name.

**HoennMaster** · 18th December 2008, 8:14 PM

So I watched this today and I must say that I didn't think the dub version was that bad. I know of all the cuts, but it still wasn't bad.

**Igottapoo** · 5th January 2009, 5:37 AM

I prefer the fake breast one but I only watched the dub. Pretty nice episode though. It didn't really have much to do with Pokemon but it was enjoyable.

**Zucht** · 11th March 2009, 10:21 PM

This ep was kinda weird, James with boobs?XD, But still it was funny to see it ^^

**~~Icefiyre~~** · 12th March 2009, 2:14 AM

Watching this episode in a simple cut version really confused by many, supposedly so. The japanese gave James... you know, so he can look like a real women. I've never experienced such thing at all as I thought the series meant battles, not showing off your... you know. At least it was cut off for the english version.
