You're missing my point. A single instance of the dubbers neglecting to edit a piece of Japanese text (whether that's 4Kids with the fire extinguisher or TPCi with the Dr. Ookido segment) does not reflect the companies' overall policies toward on-screen text. There were some patterns to their...

From "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," when Gastly turns into a fire extinguisher to defeat Ash's Charmander.

It would've made sense to me for them to get a home video release during that three month gap between the end of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon – Ultra Legends and Pokémon Journeys since, in a way, Chronicles is like a proto-Journeys. Kind of. Which is a shame because last year's release of...

While we're talking about preservation of old 4Kids material...there are a few things that just never got released on home video: The entirety of Pokémon Chronicles. The series got releases in both the UK and Australia but oddly enough the U.S. never got one. The Kanto episode "Beauty and the...

I see it less "TPCi is actively working to preserve the 4Kids dub" and more "TPCi just couldn't be bothered to go back and do a proper redub."
