It Took Me at LEAST 20 BLOODY TIMES To Type that Quote that Jessie said, and IT PISSED ME OFF EVEN MORE WHEN I HAD TO REWIND IT TO Type it and Send it to U Gal.
"What are You, 2? You Should Learn How to Speak A Little More Like Someone Who Is Older Tan There Shoe Size!" Jessie, Ghosts Episode, WTF CARTER WTF, THIS MAKES JUST ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHAT SO EVERAT ALL!
It's really sad to see how far the Pokemon anime has fallen in so many ways. Ash and Team Rocket are being dragged through the dirt and milked dry, Bonnie is just annoying and not cute like Max was in a good way, Serena is a bad cross-fusion of May and Dawn, and the writers continue to replace Ash's friends every 3-4 years, while his closest friends like Brock and Misty have been abandoned entirely. They even retconned Serena into Ash's childhood just to lure in more viewers as a cheap ploy to get more ratings, and if that's not bad enough, the series itself is stale, dry, formulaic, and repetitive now. Ash will never become a Master, and Team Rocket...are just plain freaking idiots now, and not in a good way.
However, seeing the English dub in its current state makes me even sadder, because I know how good it can really be, and it hurts to know that it has only gotten worse like the anime itself over the last few years.
I don't blame the voice actors: it's not their fault for the awful VA direction they've had to deal with from Armen and Tom (respectively), but the companies in charge definitely deserve the blame for making poor decisions over the last several years. JCC's script writing was a lot better when he was writing the dub(s) scripts from Seasons 5-8, so I suspect Z Pang America may have some fault for why Seasons 9-17 have had such atrocious script writing and dialogue (along with the changes to the anime in JPN itself).
