>>36434608I believe it was an earthquake. Every time there's a natural disaster and the next episode of pokemon to air has anything remotely resembling a disaster, those episodes get pulled and are never released.
All through BW Jessie and James suddenly became hyper competent pulling off most of their plans and missions the boss gave them and not even really bothering with going after pikachu.
Then when the big pay off was going to happen with Giovanni coming to the region, the episodes got pulled and the arc was dropped.
>>36434620No it didn't. Not in the way it was going to. It was going to end with a two parter that reveals Team Plasma. Jessie and Jame's missions were in part part of a plan to force Team Plasma to reveal themselves. Assets from those episodes were later re-used in later episodes, but the plot was totally different.
You can still find the trailer/teaser for the pulled episodes somewhere.
