You mean the one on Odysee to prove it works? Or the one I got from MySpleen to prove I have it?
the myspleen one, it could be better quality then all other rips
I don't know if I'd call it "high quality," but there are certainly worse copies:
It also has an additional bug in the lower left hand corner for the local affiliate it was recorded from. Most copies seen thus far don't have anything like that (in fact, I can't say I've ever seen a copy of this episode with anything other than the standard Kids' WB in the lower right corner).

The old one floating around is more blurry, but it doesn't have that analog tape grain that all the others have and it probably has the most accurate colors/brightness. I wonder if the original ripper still has the tape, which could be re-ripped with better equipment...by the way, the original ripper may have been a PokeMasters.net forum user, because I remember someone there selling DVD-Rs they made from their taping of the original broadcast, though I can't find this thread at the moment. EDIT: It was "dark_myuutwo" and the thread is here. Again, I don't have proof that dark_myuutwo is the one who made the old rip that's been floating around for the last 10+ years, but they may be.
The MySpleen version you requested a screencap of was shared by a user named "Wth." He wasn't the one who originally recorded the broadcast, and he doesn't remember where he got the tape, but he thinks it was part of a bundle that had some other Pokémon recordings. There is also another version on MySpleen that I have, shared by a user named "JonnJonzz01." In his case, he is the person who originally recorded his version (he tried to faithfully record as many new episodes as possible, and recorded reruns of any he missed), but it's pretty bad quality:
It also has little to no commercials (and it's incomplete), since for many of his recordings, he stopped recording when commercials came on, then started again when the show came back, with a few exceptions.

I probably should have done some slight dnr before tossing mine up on nyaa, but eh its good enough for me:P
iirc myspleen closed registration because each time some new piece of lost media got posted the sight slowed to a crawl with an influx of people wanting it
Could you see if that website also has the original airing of "Mandarin Island Miss Match"? The original airing had a scene that was removed in all repeats and western home releases(and is only available on long out of print Australian DVDs)due to a close-up of Prima/Lorelai's cleavage, i'd kill to see that scene in the dub uncensored.
I'm positive I have this, too.
EDIT: Yep, here it is. Try and grab it quickly, I can't afford the space to keep it on my cloud drive for long. It may have been cobbled together from different sources, as the shot in question isn't zoomed in like Bulbapedia claims it is.
Sorry to change the topic back to this episode, but I have a Kids WB ariring of it now, possibly the premiere, and it's missing this scene, despite Bulbapedia claiming Kids WB left it intact.
