Season One only covers the first 52 episodes of Kanto. Netflix isn't "cutting it off short," they're simply following the original definition of what a Pokémon season is. https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/seasons.html

Those links are for the visitors of the site who do read Japanese and want to learn more. The vast majority of the site's visitors probably don't speak Japanese to start with, sure, but there are some who do.

I think it would probably be better to move discussion of these 4Kids related videos over to their own thread. They don't really have anything to do with the website (I've never even brought them up, for example) and having them all in their own dedicated thread will make them a lot easier to...

The plan is to remove it when the Blu-ray comes out next month. I have some more interview translations and other content I want to add so I think it's worth keeping it at the top of the site at least until then. I'm sorry these comments on my site trigger you but I can assure you I'm not...

I say good riddance to those more "unique" dub titles. It was a horribly out-of-date practice that produced a bunch of terrible puns, confusing references, and titles that generally did a poor job of representing what happened in the actual episode itself. The Japanese version has its own share...

Every volume of Kosaku Anakubo's Pocket Monsters manga are available to download to your Kindle (or Kindle app) via the Amazon Japan store...

I miss the Rocket trio dearly, but we do have 25+ years of the show with them in it so it's not like there's any shortage of older episodes to look back on. Satoshi, I could take him or leave him.

4Kids' run on the show was a bit of a roller coaster as far as music replacement goes. They were really terrible at first, then got better (but never great) around Season 2/3, and then started going downhill again by the time we really got to Johto. By Season 8 (their last year on the show)...

While replacing silence does very much count, I was actually talking about swapping out one piece of music for another. Season 1, Episode 1 only kept two pieces of music. Episode 2 kept five. Episode 3 kept six. Etc. etc. The actual numbers vary from episode to episode but there are a...

That is objectively not true.

So just like every other season of the show. The big difference here is that the "terrible" performances are mainly limited to two characters in Horizons (Fuecoco and Nidothing) while previous series has a lot more. ??? Neither 4Kids nor TPCi have any control over what battles the show...

I disagree with the voice acting in BW being "decent."

The book Pokémon Story gives a pretty good overview:
