Note that the site also lists some translated Japanese titles, but these ones are clearly titles for the dub.

These are also titles taken from the French dub. 7 is sort of different, but mostly the same.

After some further investigation, it looks like JustWatch actually gets its data from Plex, and Plex just gets its data from The Movie Database, where a user called raze464 added these titles on December 16.

So I don't think these titles are confirmed after all, and they probably are just backtranslations of the French titles like you said.

Update: The BBC has confirmed on their website episodes 7-10 will be shown Jan 15-18 according to their schedule listings
Their titles are actually what ABCboy mentioned above me and 10's title is also called "Nemona and Brassius and..."

Not that I'm complaining but that has got to be the most Japanese-sounding episode title in the history of the Pokémon dub.

HZ016: Quaxly, We Can Do It!

This appears to have been the ultimate source for these titles, and explains why they were added so early.

UK gives no cares. Up to 16 coming soon! Netflix is shaking right now.
Edit: They're REALLY sticking to the JP titles like glue this time around. Gotta respect the commitment.

Feels kinda........lazy though, no?

I wouldn't call an honest attempt at a straight translation "lazy". Though personally, I would have at least preferred they substituted the first exclamation mark with a comma; feels more natural that way in English.

I honestly hate the more direct translation titles. I mean "Nemona and Brassius and...." is such a weak episode title. Its boring. I hate to see us go back to these style of titles.

Agreed. Where's the innovation? It's lazy and boring.

I say good riddance to those more "unique" dub titles. It was a horribly out-of-date practice that produced a bunch of terrible puns, confusing references, and titles that generally did a poor job of representing what happened in the actual episode itself. The Japanese version has its own share of terrible episode titles, sure, but for every one clunker of a title the Japanese version has I'd say the English version has something like ten.

There's a reason the rest of the North American anime industry stopped making up their own dub titles decades ago.

Well, I respectfully disagree with on that one.

Yeah, I really can't jibe with complaining about the dub trying to translate episode titles accurately. That's what a translation should be.

Genuine question to the people here complaining about this: do y'all want the dub to be stuck in the past with these things or what, I genuinely don't get it.
