A small quick update: the US dub debut has now been delayed to March 7.
Not really, means we have to wait even longer before the actors can reveal their rolesYeah, you UK peeps have must be so happy now. At least it'll show up same month as the Canadian release.... sigh.
Agreed my friend. No wonder I've lost nearly all interest in the current English dub of Pokemon, huh?Netflix really is the worst. TPCI never should have partnered with them honestly. The dub hasn't been this far behind since probably Hoenn.
This delay is most likely due to the fact that Netflix services multiple languages. It wasn't just English delayed with Netflix, but also Latin Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Dutch, which will be included with the release on March 7.The delay is pretty strange. Releasing the series on Pokemon Day made sense from a marketing perspective and they clearly have episodes dubbed already, so I assume that this is some issue on Netflix's end. It's not that much of a longer wait, but it is pretty strange to change it at this point.
I've been thinking this also. That Netflix wants as many dubs ready before they release any of their work. That includes anime and live-action dubs. So, that could be the reason why we're undergoing the delay til March, so that as much if not every country gets this on day 1.This delay is most likely due to the fact that Netflix services multiple languages. It wasn't just English delayed with Netflix, but also Latin Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Dutch, which will be included with the release on March 7.
Past Netflix releases included those languages as well as Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Russian, and Ukrainian, and Netflix has been taking on more exclusive dub languages, so I presume they may want to have every language ready for a release at the same time, since it is a new series (per TPCi press this is "Season 1"). If you saw the release for Pokemon Concierge, you'd see the full scope of handling they'd have to deal with (and probably why Concierge took so long in the first place).
Pokemon anime episode release schedules in the US are definitely at an all-time low with the Netflix "batch" release strategy. It means Canada, the UK and even Australia will receive the new episodes long before their US counterparts do.Netflix really is the worst. TPCI never should have partnered with them honestly.

Just one of the reasons (if not the main one,) that I've lost nearly all interest in the current English dub of Pokemon.Pokemon anime episode release schedules in the US are definitely at an all-time low with the Netflix "batch" release strategy.

12 from quick research, same as the journeys batchesBBC has 20 episodes out by now, how many does Netflix have?
It's not like other dubs? And honestly, it doesn't have to.It sucks the dub can’t air 24 hours after the original Japanese airing. The technology is there to do a simultaneous dub for both languages. Tomo-Chan is a Girl proved it can be done. Why can’t Pokemon do so?
Because Pokémon (rather Netflix) services multiple languages, not just Japanese and English. Simildubbing is hard enough as is. Now try coordinating that across multiple countries. One of them (Ukraine) is a major active war zone. That’s not even getting into the legal mumbo jumbo that is distribution rights and contracts. Just because an episode is made and dubbed does not mean the distributor will let it out.It sucks the dub can’t air 24 hours after the original Japanese airing.
