Censorship and Changes

Episodes of the first three series were edited into 11-minute episodes, these episodes also had live-action segments built into them (These segments often replaced the Non-Priceman portions of the story, with the exception of scenes from the Digimon Kingdom), unlike the other dubs, These changes were mandated by the Pokémon Kids channel for Morning and afternoon broadcast.

Twin Monsters RG and RSE aired in prime time, and thus was not subjected to the 11-minute episode treatment, but had changes nonetheless.

  • Although the Digimon Kingdom was referred to as such, the footage used is from the Edited Hoenn Dub until Episode 32 (Referred to as Episode 16-B) when the original footage started being used instead.
  • Demon was not the Super Ultimate, but was instead Darkrai's servant (The Super Ultimate was referred to as Darkrai in the Italian Dub).
  • The Incestual undertones for Roman and Julia Shirotanko were removed, which meant any dialogue which referred to their relationship was completely changed.
  • Twin Monster Masters was moved to Showtime due to an Italian Study by Vera Slepoj who declared that Sailor Moon Sailor Stars would compromise children's sexual identity, The Dubbers did not want this to happen to the Twin Monsters series.
  • The last episode's ending was removed.
