"Lucario and the Mystery of Mew"

[Habunake]

That is the 8th movies dub name, according to a scan I saw on SPPF.

 

[Argy]

Link?

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Cool!

An actual dub title!


Well, before now, people were even telling me that a dub version of the movie hadn't even been announced yet.

So I was like, "Huh? But, isn't that what they are doing right now, dubbing the 8th movie?".


Anyway, I knew sometime or another they'd have to come out with the dub version.

I just wanna know when it'll be out on video/DVD.

<Serebii> Im not quite sure about the authenticity of this tho

Conversation I had with Serebii earlier. I agree with him, this is most likely a fake.

It's from Pokémon Fan, a magazine published by Pokémon USA. The person who posted the scan on SPPf posted more pages from the magazine which supplement information on Pokémon.com. In addition, that site says that information on the movie will be out this weekend.

It's not fake.

And that's a wrap.

So. Opinions on the name?

(Lucario's name comes as no shock at all)

 

[Argy]

I am grateful it is not a pun.

 

[PDUTogepi]

I really like the dub name for the movie ^^ It's sensible sounding, goes with the theme of the movie too, I'm happy with it~!

 

[Kasumi]

I am grateful it is not a pun.

Same here. *nods*

 

[Cybersai]

Good. The hot spring scene makes the whole movie worth it.

And already the complaints start rolling in, because OMG Lucario isn't as cool as Rukario since it doesn't have a K!

And of course it's the English dub's fault, because there's no way the Japanese could make a name with L's or C's. That's crazy talk!

 

[V Faction]

How rame!

 

[Adamant]

Would those complaints ever have been posted if Serebii hadn't stuck to the direct romanization when all the proof for the correct spelling started appearing? I wonder.


...no, wait, I don't.

 

[Serebii]

Rukario, Lucario, Rucario & Lukario are ALL correct spellings so kindly stop

 

[FabuVinny]

Well, Lucario is the correct spelling now and that is all that matters.

 

[Serebii]

Actually Lucario being the US Name does not make it the correct Japanese Spelling

But I know what you mean...just taking your statement at face value

 

[Quagbert]

Lucario is the correct spelling in both English AND Japanese. That's the spelling registered on this website (登録番号 [HASHTAG]#4864433[/HASHTAG]), and used on all official merchandise. Even a prominent member of your own forums said so.

 

[FabuVinny]

It doesn't matter anymore!

 

[Dogasu]

Moving on from the name debate...

I wonder if 4Kids will get Puffy to record an English version of the ending theme. It's not impossible, especially since we got an English version of "Chiisaki Mono," even though Hayashi Asuka didn't sing the English version and probably had nothing to do with the "translated" lyrics.

It's going to suck watching this movie in fullscreen, though, because the movie's scenery pretty much requires one to see it in widescreen to get the full effect.

Soon the other two pokemon that don't have English names yet will get ones. I don't know if we had this many pokes have English names before the game is released even in Japan before.
