XY140 - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
So here we are, the final XY episode.
There were only two parts of this episode I was interested in seeing in regards to how the dub handled them... Serena's declaration and kiss, and the final extended montage. Serena's statements to Ash are a bit different from the original and are a lot less romantic (in the original, she outright tells Satoshi that she plans on getting together with him and will return to him a more mature woman whereas in the dub she just tells Ash she wants to be like him). The implied kiss is kept though.
As for extensive flashback I was prepared for a massive cut, expecting it to be around the place where the end credits kicked in during the Japanese airing and... no, there was no cut. Everything was kept, to the point the end credits played slowly over the second half of the montage. As for the music? Well, where the original had a replay of V (Volt) here we get all three XY dub themes playing in a medley. It works really well, and makes me think I started picking up the Bizarro-dub by mistake for a while.
