Talk:Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2/@comment-26973802-20131106053944/@comment-26973802-20131108183547

Most animes revolve around fights to the death, like Digimon, Dragonball Z, and Sailor Moon, which don't limit their death scenes to villains all the time (even if most of the Digimon and DBZ ones, and some of the Sailor Moon ones, are revived), but Pokemon isn't, it's more of a "kid show" than they are on account of battles being friendly, villains being comedic, even the boss Giovanni is a thief rather than a megalomaniac, although it could be argued he wants to use the rare Pokemon to take over the world, so any death scenes, hero or villain, are rare in Pokemon. And as you noted with the heaven and hell line, English dubs edit out things like that because Japan doesn't have as many standards. The dub banned an episode that had a warden aim a gun at Ash, and fire it at Team Rocket, as well as Meowth with a Hitler mustache, even though it was significant to the series both due to featuring the Safari Zone, and Ash capturing the Tauros, who appear in later episodes

And Sir Lionel was from a movie as well, Quest for Camelot
