Censorship Comparisons...Or Jessie Boats! O_O
15 years ago
EDIT: I decided to go ahead and add the complete Page 7 double page.
Here are most of the Censorship comparisons of the U.S. and Japanese released versions of Pokemon: Electric Tale of Pikachu
Here are a pretty much the majority of the comparisons of Misty:
Misty Comparison1
Misty Comparison2
Misty's sisters also got a bit of a hack job:
Misty's Sisters1
Misty's Sisters2
Jessie Had some serious Breast reductions and clothing tailoring:
Jessie Comparison1
Jessie Comparison2
Here's some of the minor character alterations:
Minor Character Comparisons
Deleted Content: These were short segments cut from the actual manga themselves.The reasons Some were cut are pretty self explanatory, others were removed for reasons I just don't understand. For instance, the epilogue at the very end of the series was really cool, but they cut it anyway.
Volume 2, Chapter 2: Hot Springs - Misty shows her "assets". XD

Page2
UPDATE!!:
Keishinkae apparently saw the deleted content in the U.S. version before. A little digging lead me to find out that the U.S. Volume 4 graphic novel kept the deleted scenes from the original Japanese Volume 4. I have the original individual comics, not the graphic novels. A greivious error on my part. T_T
Volume 4, Chapter 2: Misty reunites with Ash - Misty separates from Ash for a bit while Ash goes on a few adventures. When they reunite at the beach, there seems to some humorous playful banter between the two. Also I think Misty spots Ash's nads through his shorts. Notice Toshihiro Ono's new toned down design of Misty. She looks like this even in the Japanese mangas from the third volume onward.

Volume 4, Epilogue: New Beginnings - If you click the first image, you'll be met with a rather heart warming image of James and Jessie, who is with child. (I know right?! I was like "Holy Crap!") James gives a letter to Ash's mom and Gary's sister (Notice Gary's sister's boobs are gone from Ono's original design) that basically explains some of the adventures Ash has had. He also appears to team up with Ritchie, whom he faced at the Pokemon League, and Gary along with Ash and Misty. At this point, it saddened me that his version ended here. Gary was more of an arrogant friend in the manga rather than an unbelievable dick like he was in the anime. They had really good chemistry in the manga, and I would have like to see how the relationship between all of them would develop.

I'd get behind Viz if they put out a translated unedited version.
It might have confused the kids to see a different ending like this one. You'know, a good ending. :D
Yeah, the book was so much better then the show XD
And one universe where James may not be gay. Or at least a Will and Grace family.
And this Ash would certainly try something with Misty.
...Hey. He met Lugia.

xD Hilarious in that respect, but its satire or just making fun of censoring in general. I doubt any artist likes his work covered up because someone doesn't think its appropriate, and even if it is obscene, then just don't show it to kids or buy it for kids. =/ its just lazy.
Anyway, I think that, in most of the examples, the censored versions were better suited to the Pokemon universe. When I think of those characters, I don't want to associate them with huge boobs, and gratuitous fan service (as much as the internet has served that up anyways.) It doesn't bother me if there's some in the comics, because that makes them feel like they're less for children, and more adult oriented (at least in America) and that's the kind of Pokemon I'd be interested in; one with slightly mature themes. However, the torpedo tits, and skimpy clothing on a prepubescent girl just bugs the hell out of me.
But I think it's understandable. I mean, Ash noming on Jessie's tit? I don't think we should teach the kids that noming on someone's big boob is a good thing. With only exception for babies, of course.
fully uncut Pokemon manga!
or the transexual look
I found them all raw but can't believe no one really bothered to translate them at all over the years.
(there one character that talks about panties alot.)
even japans naruto is more violent then the one they show on US shores.
But overall some things obviously did need to be censored somewhat but not like totally to were they cant even show legs. (refering to officer Jenny pic)
US censorships real gay.
nex it'll be found out that theres missing pages where the one with big lips gives ash a blowjob in an alley,gasp!
Very interesting comparisons, some are quite humorous XD
Sad some of the stuff was removed for no good reason though, like the epilouge =(
