Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon -- Ultra Legends Dub Episode Title Discussion

[Pkmndub]

Just making this for the long run. Nothing has been announced yet but the the first episode will be SM093

 

[BigDocFan]

Wonder what the season title will be

Pokemon Sun and Moon:

 

[BraixenFennekin]

Maybe: "Let's Go Adventures"?

 

[Pkmndub]

What about a school pun that also refers to the league. "The Final Test"

 

[Poke Trey]

Maybe Pokemon The Series: Sun And Moon Alola's Future for the season title?

In terms of what I expect in terms of airdates:

• New Zealand: Right now, TVNZ has S21 scheduled to be taken down on February 28, exactly a year after they put up SM044 last year on March 1. I wouldn't be surprised if they put up S22 on March 1, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they go back to trailing the US as they've done up until last year.
• Canada: March 9 or 16 on Teletoon
• United States/United Kingdom: Both Disney XD and CITV will probably want to marathon a bunch of new episodes daily the week before Easter. This year, Easter falls on April 21, so I would guess April 13 and 16 for them, respectively. CITV still hasn't scheduled the last four episodes of S21, in any case.
• Australia: 9Go! only airs new episodes daily with the entire season for whatever reason, so they need to schedule and rerun the first 36 episodes of S21 before they can get to the last 12 episodes that weren't ready during their last runthrough. Would expect them to start S22 in late spring/summer. On the other hand, Disney Channel appears entirely content with airing S20 reruns at the moment.
• South Africa: Calmly chugging along with one episode each Tuesday, e.tv will probably finish S21 in mid-May and premiere M21 and S22 in June.
• Singapore: okto is currently only seven episodes into S21. They probably won't get to S22 until November.

I'm also interested to see how they handle the Eevee segments, since they did take 1:30 each out of the episodes' runtime. The easiest options I see for them:

1. Don't bother dubbing them
2. Move them before the credits and treat it as part of the episode
3. Cut them and post them separately on Pokémon TV/YouTube

I think 3 is probably the most likely given the Mega Evolution Pokédex shorts and Hoopa's Surprise Ring Adventures, although I'd prefer 2 so as to avoid then falling into the "specials that got dubbed into English but then we forgot to dub them into any other language" pit.

 

[BigDocFan]

SM099 would be confusing if they don't dub the Eevee specials, people will wonder ''When did Popplio and the others become good friends with this Eevee?''

 

[Poke Trey]

Should the shorts get dubbed... I think they'll be more so advertised as internet exclusive rather than be put on TV.

 

[BigDocFan]

Lets have a bit of fun and guess what SM093's dub title will be

A Dramatic Performance!

 

[Poke Trey]

I'm thinking A Jess-tastic Performance!

 

[L87-1729]

Maybe: "Let's Go Adventures"?

I can see that one. "Let's Go Adventures" or even "Let's Go Alola" sound good if they are to make some kind of pun to Let's Go.

My contact at Disney XD says there will be an announcement for S22 around February 28th
Until then!

 

[Nicolas721]

Until then!

I remember the past few seasons being announced by TPCi (title, logo & sometimes trailer), not by the channel they aired, so it's possible it comes before.

 

[Poke Trey]

Good to hear. Especially just coming days after the S21 finale, they must be working fast to get the thing starting soon.

 

[abcboy]

The upcoming season will be titled "Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon—Ultra Legends".

[BigDocFan]

Ultra Legends, I like the title

 

[Poke Trey]

Ultra Adventures and Ultra Legends, I can get behind this!

 

[BraixenFennekin]

well, the title "Ultra Legens" is actually very nice. I'll accept that

 

[Poke Trey]

Now we I guess we wait for our 1st batch of titles, our theme song, season logo, animation for the OP/ED and lastly the credits for the English staff since I believe S21 had quite a bit of new guys on board.
