It's pretty likely that was the case; 4kids made numerous edits and cuts to the series and outright banned some episodes.

This site's dedicated to the edits between the Japanese and American dubbed episodes, but currently the server's over capacity: http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/

I'm sure once it's not capacity, you would be able to find some examples of what that tumblr poster was talking about.

Yeah, like the swimsuit competition episode, that eventually was dubbed, but edited much more heavily than normal. And the original Japanese theme song jokes about going under girls' skirts to find Pokemon. As a kid I was shocked and really uncomfortable at first when I learned that my favorite cartoon had had that in it.

Whoa, which theme song was this?

The very first one, which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbrbpqs11gw

And here's the lyrics translated: http://meikoanime.tripod.com/plyrics.html

First anon who mentioned the song here... and man all I can say is, I wasn't expecting to see the exact same translation of the song as the one I found as a kid in 1999! By now, the thing that bothers me most is the way it screams "I ran these lyrics word by word through a Japanese-English dictionary."
