Here is where you can discuss a milk-laden oasis in "Got Miltank?"
My review to come forthwith.

Was this bumped?
or did i miss an episode
This thread, "Pre-Season 6 Episode Discussions", should explain it.
Charaxes said:Thanks much. Oddly enough, there was a major cut in this episode, involving the act of Miltank breastfeeding. Way to go, 4Kids.

I wouldn't blame them if they edited that. Imagine how mothers would react if they saw a Pokémon sucking on a Miltank utter. Personally, I wouldn't let my children watch that on TV whether it be a cartoon or not.
Charaxes said:No, I don't blame 4Kids for editing it out, as to be on the safe side. However, on the list of things needing to be censored, breastfeeding doesn't bother me, if done right. It's not so bad, as it's from a Cow Pokemon, so it shouldn't make eyes melt. I'm just conveying my personal disappointment, is all. Interpret it as you will.
Of course, to an avid watcher of cartoons it wouldn't be so bad. Since Pokémon was just losing its steam at this point though, it's something that shouldn't be unexpected since breastfeeding, in all manner, is looked down upon on a show rated TV-Y7 FV.
Right. Plus, Kids WB was still in major censor mode in 2002, so there was an extra reason. It's a sorta, kinda taboo, so I don't blame 4Kids for doing it. In reflecting on it in 2009, it does make me wonder if CN would have done the same. Cable = lesser censoring standards, but I doubt it would have passed. Of course, I could be wrong.
