==Translation edits==
Much like in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu volume 1|first volume]], much of the large busts and revealing clothing, such as the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|Nurses]] in [[ET06]], was edited out and re-drawn for [[VIZ Media]]'s translation. Unlike the first volume, however, [[Chuang Yi]]'s translation does not contain these edits, as Chuang Yi's translation of the second volume was based on the original Japanese and not VIZ Media's version.
