Official Pokémon Black & White Title Announcement Thread #2

1527 A Restoration Confrontation! (Part 1)
1528 A Restoration Confrontation! (Part 1)

Those titles aren't too bad. After all, I like a good rhyme.

1529 Evolution by Fire!

*sigh* Was that really all they could think of?

1530 Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!
1531 Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!

Those titles are actually pretty good as well.

1532 Clash of the Connoisseurs!
1533 Crisis at Ferroseed Research
1534 An Epic Defense Force!

Those three titles are OK as well, but I really don't get why the Pokewood episode is called that.

1535 Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)
1536 Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)

That was a pretty subtle pun, actually. I didn't get it until just now.

Wow! tcpi must have already dubbed up to best wishes 2 already, never knew they got the show this far in advance.

I think it is because they need to get the bit part voice actors to have a reasonable amount of content to dub in one session, so would be working on a big pile of episodes at once (we seem to get these titles in batches of ten now) to some extent, but then actually get the final voices for the main characters closer to the time of airing as they take longer. So while they would be dubbing parts fairly far in advance, the actual episodes might not be ready until a few weeks before airing.

The situation at the end of the first Black and White season with CITV airing episodes a few weeks before the US shows there's some buffer for the episodes, but I doubt Cartoon Network could actually close up the gap with Japan much more than it has been.

 

[Thingamajig]

Yeah, the dub titles are probably finalised either before the script is written - or as it's being written (seeing as the episode titles are read out and thus, need to be part of the script). So there's nothing to suggest that there's a finished dub of every episode that has a title, but that's probably the batch of episodes they're dubbing (recording voices, sound mixing and (sadly) adding music for) at the moment. Nhjm probably has a source within DuArt.

It is hard to believe that they have announced the dub titles for the final gym battle, before the Japanese airing which is happening as I post

I think it's more of a "leak" rather than an official announcement...

Nupz, July guide says Clubultimate for this one. The batch which nhjm sent to me, also had clubultimate in it.

Edit: Oh, you were joking. Nevermind xD

Oh my god these are AWFUL puns. And I usually LOVE awful puns.

the last batch aren't officially announced but they came from a source who revealed the previous ones

 

[Piplup]

I never said we shouldn't trust it is real, just said it's a leak and not an official announcement - similarly to how, for example, we know about Genesect and of course it is real, but there's not an official announcement about it yet
The person I quoted seemed to be surprised that "they" (I assume the official sources) revealed the titles so soon, so I just explained they actually didn't and it was simply a leak that we weren't supposed to learn about as soon as we did

Back to direct translations, again?

To be fair, only the Dragonite title's really the only translated directly.
