Reverse Mountain was the introduction to Vivi. They also removed Little Garden and that was important for Drum Island and Enies Lobby. Removing random parts of the story is never a good idea.It took like six years for Laboon to even be mentioned again, at the time of the dub I think they were still on Skypiea.
Especially after Pokémon and the GS Ball, there wasn't a compelling reason why anyone should've believed that the Reverse Mountain Arc actually was going to pay off.
As for XBX censorship, I have two things to say:
Firstly, I believe that censoring Lin, as inappropriate as her attire was, gives the Woke West too much power over Japan. They removed the breast slider too. And did something similar with FE: IF that screwed over gameplay. You give them an inch and they take a mile. We see how sex appeal has been removed from nearly all western games.
And secondly, while Lin is skimpy in some outfits, we should not treat her as if she is real. This is not "The Guy Game" that featured AN ACTUAL UNDERAGE GIRL BE NUDE! Crimes against fictional people cannot be prosecuted as there is no real victim. We cannot arrest actors for playing roles that depict them commit murder even though homicide is a crime. As long as an actual child is not posing for such purposes, it is not really a crime. In my opinion, if they wanted to keep the skimpy outfits, then they should have settled for a higher age rating.
