IMO, the English one lost nothing by not doing that, and gained everything (such as the one point that ultimately made me favor the dub soundtrack of M03 over the original) by stopping the BGM when Quagsire got defeated.
To be fair to Dogasu on one point, though, it was his site where I learned...
It sure looks that way, but seriously, he's got nothing on Masahiro Sakurai.
I know I already said this on the actual anniversary date, but Happy Sweet Sixteenth!
By the way, I think the reason why Dark Mewtwo got renamed Shadow Mewtwo in the upcoming English version of Pokken Tournament is because the English version of the franchise has a Dark Type (which is known in Japanese as Evil Type; a foolish choice if you ask me, seeing as how it contradicts the...
Yep, they should've. I wasn't saying I agree with that shallow statement of theirs, just that I only slightly understand if they came to that conclusion by seeing the Pokemon movies. It definitely doesn't make them right, though, and it honestly makes me wonder if they saw any non-Pokemon...
That's also my complaint about the original opening and kudos to the dub opening. In fact, the movie remix of "Pokemon Johto" was what gave the dub soundtrack the one point that made me favor it 51/49 over the original soundtrack.
Quite a patriot, eh? Honestly, while they are fun films, Pokemon movies are really not good examples of high-quality Japanese cinema. I highly doubt Haigney and Grossfeld would say those myopic things about Studio Ghibli films or any film by Akira Kurosawa. For goodness' sake, Kurosawa's...
I have some things to add about this movie.
Whenever I hear Molly's original name (Mii) or see it typed, I imagine the Nintendo Wii/3DS/WiiU avatars. Just the side effects of seeing the original version after 2006 (I saw it in 2015, by the way).
I'm in 100% agreement that it was unnecessary to...
First of all, Happy Sweet 16th!
Now then, the movie. Yes, it's very nice we got a mostly faithful dub this time.
That part about what the DVD Commentary said about Molly's mother... I'm interpreting that as Grossfeld and Haigney having been told about where she is quite a while before they got...
Or, hopefully, whatever official dub version of this song happens (if it does) will just totally rewrite that part and not reference any real-world places at all.
Good translation, but you forgot to translate "ya na kanji" as "this feels bad", "ii kanji" as "this feels good", and "Rocket-dan" as "Rocket Gang". I feel that Adamant did the superior translation.
Disregarding how much I believe the original version of the anime and anything about it (except the first movie and the undubbed banned episodes) is not fine the way it is, and I can't believe I am about to say this, but the "Pikachu and Pichu" comparison was actually really good and fair.
As...
Japanese filmmaking, that is. They seem to understand how to make a film the Western way (which, I must admit to liking the Western way better).
I don't remember them misinterpreting anything, but I do remember that part about Molly's mother was something they got totally wrong. As much as I...
Yeah, I also remember that gaffe. Personally, while I think the Pikachu and Pichu dub improved on the narration of the first short, it didn't improve on the second short's narration, or lack thereof in that one's case. I'd still love to see narration totally disappear from the Pikachu shorts, as...
A drug scandal is a drug scandal, no matter the country. I remember when Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe from the Harry Potter films) got arrested for marijuana possession and had to miss out on the final two films (resulting in the last film making it so that Goyle burned down the Room of...
By the way, I don't know how much it'll help your upcoming re-comparison of the movie, but you may want to hear the 4kids audio commentary on it (or track down a transcript). There's some interesting stuff in it, such as the reason why they moved the scene of Professor Hale's return to the real...
