Is it true that the move Earthquake got banned in an episode?

May. 5, 2012

My friend told me that the move Earthquake got banned because an Earthquake happened in Japan before the episode was suppose to air. Is this true or not?

Banned 5 Episode 377: Shaking Island Battle! Barboach VS Whiscash!!

Reason for Banning: The most recent episode has not been airedanywhere in the world, not even Japan. It was originally postponed dueto massive earthquakes in the area and since it features Whiscashmaking Earthquakes it would have been bad taste. However this episodewas scheduled for a further Japanese showing but didn’t air. Now ithas come to the US Airing and it again has been skipped.
