They centen episode of the anime Pokémon Sun and Moon in the West

For the first time in 16 years, an episode of the anime Pokémon was not broadcast in the West

This is Episode 64 of the anime Pokémon Sun and Moon in which the protagonist Ash Ketchum meets a Pbadimian group that you want to protect. For that, he disguises himself, including painting his black face.

Some argue that the possible reason for censorship is that disguised Ash looks like the "blackface," a type of cartoon that has been used in the United States to portray blacks in a racist or pejorative manner.

At this time, The Pokémon Company International has not talked about it.
