Re: Cartoon Network's schedule for June unveils new dub episode titles: Postponed XY
Cold is more logical than Gold in that case, with makes sense for the plot of the episode. Also this text from Dogasu's website.

Dogasu said:A preliminary TV schedule for Cartoon Network has a listing for the episode, meaning that TPCI has it and is in the process of dubbing it. Which would be a pretty huge deal.
The title of the episode makes it obvious that this is the skipped episode but the summary provided spells it out pretty clearly:
Undersea Place to Call Home!, A visit to the Muraille Coast sets our heroes on an aquatic adventure filled with undersea Pokemon!
The episode has a tentative airdate of July 5th, 2014 at 8:00am but if you count the number of Saturdays between now and then the math only works out if Cartoon Network goes a week without airing a new episode for whatever reason. It's possible that it's just a mistake in the schedule, something that's been known to happen before, and that the episode will actually air a week earlier on June 28th instead.

I had always assumed that there was a clause in TV-Tokyo's contract giving them first dibs on anything Pocket Monsters and that no other television network in the world was allowed to air its content until after they've had a chance to do so first. I mean, why else would "The Rocket-Dan vs. The Plasma-Dan," an episode skipped over because of a natural disaster that happened in Japan, not be allowed to air in the U.S.? Why should TPCI's audience care about a natural disaster that happened half a planet away? And wouldn't you think Cartoon Network would have jumped at the chance to air the episodes if they were contractually able to do so?
But I guess that's not the case after all...?
Or! Maybe it is and this episode being announced now is a mistake that someone will catch and correct later. The same thing happened in Japan with the post-Best Wishes! Iris special, if you remember. Footage from the episode was shown in August 2013 but the title "Iris vs. Ibuki! The Road to Being a Dragon Master!!" wasn't revealed until it was posted on the official Japanese Pokemon site on October 6th, 2013. Two days later the title had been quietly removed from the site, causing many to assume that someone posted the title before they were supposed to. Months pass and we don't end up hearing anything until about a month before the special finally aired on March 27th, 2014.
