  • God damn it, man. I'm just going to ignore Meowth if we have more Yiddish phrases coming out of his mouth if I watch the dub again.

    Is that the episode where Exploud sounds like crap?
    That's when I was like..."Wow, Eric Stuart definitely needs to come back. This guy is horrible for Brock."

    Carter's James just got more stuffy and nose-cold(ish), Michele's Jessie got irritatingly high-pitched and slutty, and Carter's Meowth started having this weird fetish for "Dig it, jack," "lugs," and such.

    In short, the English dub VAs for Brock and TR just got worse in DP, not better. Brock is 15 and a teen, not a 50 y/o constipated, chainsmoking thug. Jessie is 25, not a high school cheerleader who throws temper tantrums. Meowth is a cat-like Pokemon, not a constipated chainsmoking gangster. James is 25, not a 40 y/o fat man with a cold.
    Hard to say, man.

    I guess I would say it started going downhill when TPCi took over in the middle of Battle Frontier, but went completely downhill for me when DP started. That's when I realized the anime was past the point of no return.

    BF still had Ash winning something with some cool Frontier Brains, and as terrible as the VA work was for Ash, May, and Max that season, the script writing and intros in the dub weren't nearly as awful as they have been in all English dubs from DP onwards. Bill's Brock and TPCi Rocket were actually decent that arc as well.

    Furthermore, Brock and Team Rocket actually didn't start annoying the shit out of me in the English dub until DP, where their current VAs continued to get WORSE and WORSE at their roles.
