[FinnishPokéFan92]

WTP is Solgaleo

I knew it! The dub did add a WTP segment to this episode!

 

[Pkmndub]

If you like dub music, this episode is great for you. No insert song and 0 tracks kept

 

[BigDocFan]

Did they cut any footage?

 

[Pkmndub]

No but they keep the credits instead of putting them in the montage

 

[radek.tadajewski.7]

I knew it! The dub did add a WTP segment to this episode!

I thought so too. I mean, the original version of this episode didn't include the Dare Da? segment at all.

 

[BigDocFan]

Watching this episode whilst trying to keep a brave face on, I have to admit I'm starting to cry

Melissa Hope really sold it as Burnet saying goodbye to Ash

 

[Islander Princess]

Cried watching this episode in Japanese, cried watching it again in English.

Team Rocket leaving their Pokemon behind, Burnet and Kukui saying goodbye to Ash at the airport, and the gang saying goodbye to Ash on the plane were the parts that really got me all over again. Really excellent voice acting in this episode. I think everyone got the emotions down perfectly and gave a wonderful final performance.

It's crazy to think that when this episode first aired all those months ago, I thought "well, at least we still have a couple of months left of the dub!" I really can't believe SM is over. This series really stole my heart and renewed my love for the anime. I'd have to say that SM finishes as a top two favorite series for me. I'm really going to miss it.

 

[PokeMasterLA]

This is it, the final Alola episode. Kudos to all the talented people that worked very hard on making this series a pleasure to watch, for both the Japanese and English dub. This has to be one of my favorite series finales in the Pokemon anime.

 

[Burkie08]

Is there any word of when the new season will start?

 

[SinnohBoi]

Another episode ruined by goldfarb. 0 Japanese BGM retained and he couldn't even bother to put in a vocal score over the plane scene.

 

[BigDocFan]

Is there any word of when the new season will start?

Lisa Ortiz was asked on Twitter yesterday, her response was NDA, not sure what it means but its not something she's allowed to discuss

 

[johnnyd2]

did they keep the part that implies Burnett being pregnant?

 

[BigDocFan]

did they keep the part that implies Burnett being pregnant?

Yes they did

 

[johnnyd2]

Yes they did

Thats a relief. in the old days that wouldve been cut just like the background music XP

 

[Pkmndub]

@BigDocFan NDA stands for non disclosure agreement

 

[TapLover]

So it's over... But maybe the English Dub is over?

 

[Poke Trey]

The Dub is not over, let's not doomsay over it. Once we get something, we'll be alright.

 

[Mew2]

The irony is, though, that if the English Dub were, indeed, to end, this would be the perfect series to end it on. Ash won a League and also had, for lack of a better term, a Title Defense against Kukui, aka the Masked Royal and the strongest Trainer in Alola. If there was ever a time to end an "endless" series, this would be it. Personally, though, I hope the Dub doesn't come to an end and that we get the whole series. And I also think that the dub isn't coming to an end so soon. There's still a lot of money to be made for the animé from America and other countries.

 

[Rocky62]

Yes they did

they also kept that scene where it zoomed in on mallows butt.
