Let’s make up better Dub titles!

I think this is a lovely idea for a thread.

I have three so far:

BW016

Rematch at the Nacrene Gym! -> Cool Your Aqua Jets!

Oshawott and Tepig were both the stars of this episode, with each of them learning a brand new move. While Tepig was the one to secure victory regarding the Basic Badge, Oshawott's own defeat of Watchog was no less important. Given the amount of focus Aqua Jet got in the episode, for better or worse, I felt this could be an appropriate and engaging punny title.

BW018

Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest! -> The Bug Type's Always Greener!

Cliche as the idiom has already been referenced, but the anime has utilized puns several times before across sagas so I find it acceptable. It's also unique in the sense that Sewaddle is both a Bug and Grass type, alongside being primarily green in color.


BW031

Ash and Trip's Third Battle! -> A Trip Down Rival Lane!

Another bland title that follows the Japanese format, I figured we could be punny here with both an idiom and play on Trip's name. It more or less gives the user an idea of the episode (something involving Trip and Ash) without saying it directly.
 
There used to be a thread here that would predict dub titles, the one I'm proudest of still is "What's Past is Pastoria" for the Pastoria Gym battle in Diamond & Pearl.

If I could get a job exclusively coming up with these I'd do it in a heartbeat. Some of the TPCI titles are really scraping the barrel (admittedly, 4Kids used most of the "good" ones, although you get the sense they ran out of ideas pretty quickly as well).

I don’t understand why you use this….I never watched this episode
 
Will do Journeys and Sun & Moon for now, the other series maybe other day. Some of these may sound bad but I think even that ones are better than the real ones.
