With You ended up being replaced for the MPM portion of Ultimate Journeys with another remix of
Pokémon Theme that mainly uses archival audio from the cover used in Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You.

Just watched the intro right now and it brought tears to my eyes. The is end is near for the English dub of Ash Ketchum's journey .

I wish they could've changed the title too to differentiate it a little bit from the previous arc.

Something like "Pokemon: The Final Journey" or something a long those lines. But I guess Ultimate Journeys still fits the purpose for these next 11 episodes.

Honestly they should have just gone with a new title like that or "Pokemon: Aim To Be A Pokemon Master" Despite the technicalities of listings and the dub, I just don't consider MPM to be Journeys. It was marketed as it own mini series and that's what I'll call it. Its own mini series.

I can't really blame them for including it as part of Journeys for the international release. It was probably easier to include it as part of Journeys' third season as opposed to labeling it as its own series, especially when the specials tend to not get DVD releases unless they're included in a season. That being said, I also don't consider MPM as part of Journeys. Not only because of how it was marketed in Japan, but it doesn't really feel connected to Journeys beyond seeing some of Ash's adventures after he and Goh went their separate ways. The episode where they split up also feels a lot more fitting as a series finale for Journeys, especially when that is more in line with how other series tend to wrap up with Ash and his friends going their separate ways. MPM feels more like its own separate thing as opposed to the last arc of Journeys.

Its just weird to do it this way. And I'm glad I'm not alone in not considering it part of Journeys. Journeys is about Ash and Goh's adventures. This is not that. Its Ash's adventures with Brock and Misty as he tries to decide what it means to be a Pokemon Master to him. It was marketed as a mini series rather than specifically a continuation of Journeys.

Good points, but in this arc Ash is still wearing his Journeys outfit and when the episodes themselves were added to Prime Video Japan they were simply included in the Pocket Monsters 2019 list, so I'm personally not too bothered by it.

nice touch

It's better than With You, but still pales compared to the original 4Kids did (I hate that TPCi limits them to 30 seconds especially, why?).

Yeah......4Kids had some banger intros. In fact, I don't think I disliked a single one of them.

Same thoughts, the only ones I didn't generally dislike from TPCi otoh were Battle Frontier & Galactic Battles save this one personally (don't love this one, but definitely better than the prior one for me).

Why? Time cuts otherwise they would be removing episode footage.

Shame the episode itself is so boring

Hopefully they do a cover of "time has come" song for the dub...

I see on Bulbapedia that AbcBoy is changing the title of JN140 from Kindness Right on the Tic! to Bearing Down Easy!

So Bearing Down Easy! Is the actual title?

 

[TioJameson]

That's... Strange, wonder why it was changed

Possibly because the word "tic" is sometimes associated with disabilities such as Tourette syndrome.

So like, people with problems? Can understand why the name change then.
