Special 1 "Holiday Hi-Jynx"
It's Christmas time, and Santa(James) is entering the house, then, he is caught. Jessie's evil plan to capture Santa should work. Jessie is mad because a Jynx who she thought was Santa Claus took her favorite doll when she was young. Now, she is going to get her revenge. Meanwhile, Ash and friends are snooping around to discover a Jynx. Ash battles it, first with Pikachu, who's kissed to death, and then Charmander, who is successful, but Jynx blocks Ash's poké-ball, and tells them that she was shining Santa's boot for him, when she drifted away from the North Pole. Ash and the group try to take Jynx back to the North Pole, but the Pokémon get tired, as a last desperate attempt, Ash takes off his clothes and starts pulling everyone himself. He is stopped by a Lapras, who first tests them to make sure their intentions are good, then offers to help them the rest of the way to the North Pole. Team Rocket follows them, all the way to the North Pole, and when they finally make it, Jessie and James emerge from their Gyarados, all tired out and say their motto, only to find themselves freezing cold. Meowth goes back in, under a nice warm blanket, and then he pushes the button to trap the group, while they snatch the Jynx, who Jessie thinks is Santa, that took her doll. They soon find out, that it wasn't Santa after all, and that the Jynx was only trying to help Jessie by fixing the doll. She gets the doll back from the real Santa, but isn't so grateful, tieing him up. They take all the presents for Christmas, but is stopped by Lapras and Charmander. They still manage to escape with the presents, until all of Santa's Jynx use a combined Psywave attack to bring back the Mecha-Gyarados and get back the presents, and then make sure Team Rocket blasts off again. Back at Jessie and James' house, they are sleeping in their bed, hoping Santa will have something for them. Jynx shows up at the window, and kisses them so they'll sleep tight, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Special 2 "Snow Way Out!"
Ash and the group come to a fork in the road, Ash quickly chooses the path to the right, thinking it'd be just a little hill. Boy was he wrong! It was a huge snow mountain. The compass doesn't work, and they are totally lost, Ash calls out Pidgeotto to find a way, and Pidgeotto does, so they begin to follow. Meanwhile, Jessie, James and Meowth are in the cold too. James and Meowth huddle closely as to not freeze, but Jessie is enjoying her time in the snow, remembering from her childhood, the snowgasboards her mother used to make her (food made out of snow!). Ash and the group decide to dig a cave in the snow, and camp out for the night, but Pikachu is blown away in the harsh blizzard winds. Ash finds Pikachu hanging over a cliff just about to fall off.... eventually rescuing Pikachu, they proceed with the help of his other Pokémon to dig a cave in the snow, and Charmander keeps them warm for a while. Meanwhile, Team Rocket has built an igloo, keeping warm using matches (not a candle, as 4Kids would have you believe!) Meowth goes through all three matches, and they use the last three to imagine they are in a hot place.. When Jessie's match goes out, she finds the other two sleeping, and slaps them awake. Back at Ash's cave, Charmander gets tired, so Ash takes him back into his Poké-ball. Does the same for all the others, but Pikachu refuses, so Ash let's him. The other Pokémon come out of their balls again, and huddle around Ash so they can stay warm. When the storm stops, they come out to find Brock and Misty, had a nice warm cave in the snow, by a hot spring! They take off back onto the road in TR's balloon, and out of the cold. Meanwhile, Jessie, James and Meowth, are pulling each other's cheeks to stay warm, until they land in the hot spring.. it's nice there, but a little too warm, but too cold outside of it.. !

Here are episodes never shown in America;

Holiday in Aopluco

Status: This episode has neither been dubbed or aired.

Reason for skipping: There was a swimsuit competition and James' wore a body suit to fool the people into thinking he was a girl, so he could be qualified for the competition.

Additional notes
-Skipping this episode creates a plot hole. At the end of "Island of the Giant Pokemon" the group is headed towards Porta Vista. But, the following episode they just missed the ferry to the mainland. Also, Nastina "drops in" on her cousin. But, we were never told about her because this episode was skipped.

-This was an overall funny episode, with James entering the contest as a girl and even who's that pokémon wasn't a pokémon at all, but rather Nastina's cousin, who gets bottles and junk thrown at her, she sticks her tongue out and they finally drop a metal tub on her!

Ash recalls his mom winning the prize from this episode in "Hypno's Naptime"

This is the first episode to feature Team Rocket's "Mecha Gyrados"

It's one of the few episodes to feature Gary, Prof. Oak, Ash's Mom, plus all of the other regulars

Here's what happens in it:
Tired, the group settles down for a rest in a small vacation resort. Team Rocket is still following them intent on stealing Pikachu. The group somehow destroy an old man's dock outside of his restaurant and they do all they can to pay him back. They eventually meet Professor Oak and Ash's mom. They tell about a swimsuit competition where they could win money to pay back the old man. Misty decides to enter the contest. Also competing are Jessie, James, and Gary's fan club. Jessie and James lose and the competition quickly becomes a battle. Ash fight's them off and sends them off. In the end, Ash's mom comes out the winner and makes enough money to pay back the old man for the dock. Ash and friends continue on their way

Legend of Dratini

Status: This episode has been dubbed but WB does not have any plans to air it just yet.

Reason for skipping: The Safari Zone warden was a little too handy with his gun. Team Rocket turn a gun on him, and try to get him to tell where he's hiding Dratini.

Additional notes
-In July, was when Veronica Taylor said on a public AOL chat that they were dubbing the episode.

-Ash catches many Tauros in this episode. They are eventually shown in a later episode. They save Oak's Pokémon ranch from Team Rocket.

Here's what happens in it:
Continuing in the Safari Zone, the group comes upon the warden's cabin. Ash and the others get some Safari Balls and other tools needed to legally catch Safari Zone pokémon and he goes out searching. All Ash can catch are Tauros and whenever he tries for something else, a herd of Tauros run by and one is caught. Team Rocket invade the warden's cabin and try by means of torture to get him to tell them where they can find Dratini which he was famous for having found a while back. They get Meowth to sing and they put him in a tickling machine. He comes out to find the group and still is stuck in the tickler. Ash frees him from it and the warden tells them that Team Rocket are now aware of where Dratini is hiding. The warden takes them there to find Team Rocket plans to drop explosions to get the Dratini. Ash dives in to get the bombs, but runs out of air. Ash is saved by a Dragonair. Team Rocket eventually get blown away once again, this time by their own explosions and everyone is safe. The group continue on their way leaving the Safari Zone.

Electric Soldier Porygon

note, the picture above has been digitized bgy your computer and no longer can harm you, to help from straining your eyes, i decided not to give the blinking image. (pic provided by pichud)

Status: This episode has neither been dubbed or aired.

Reason for skipping: This episode caused many Japanese children to have epileptic seizures upon it's first airing. The Japanese government afterwards banned the episode from ever airing again.

Additional notes
-4Kids has plans to dub this episode. The Japanese government may allow them to do so, if it is properly edited and approved for safety.

-4Kids has been using a dimmer on all the episodes prior to this one. The dimmer greatly reduces the light flashing. This show would be perfectly safe if they used that dimmer, and no one will be afraid of this episode either, because most people forget that this was the episode, and most blamed the entire series! How could anyone complain if the episode never flashed brightly?

Here's what happens in it:
Ash and the group are continuing on their way just as Pikachu is tired. They take a short break at the Pokémon Center and while there, they discover that the system used to transmit poké balls from center to center is malfunctioning. They end up traveling inside the computer to see what the problem is and find out it is Team Rocket that had gotten into the computer system on a prototype virtual reality pokémon named Porygon. The group is on their own Porygon that isn't a prototype and they are attacked by James' Weezing and Jessie's Arbok. Weezing is defeated by Porygon who mimics Weezing's poison gas attack. They then send their Porygon against the group's Porygon. While fighting the group try to remove the barricades that were setup by Team Rocket. Meanwhile, back at the center Nurse Joy hires someone to install an antivirus program into the network. This program in turn starts chasing both Team Rocket and the group too. Everyone manages to escape on Porygon with a little help from Pikachu by blowing up one of the missiles launched by the program. They get out just barely and they continue on their way.
