Season 20: Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon - Dub Episode Titles Thread

[Max1996]

I don't know what delaying the English dub would have to do with dubbing M20. Despite the English dub being delayed in the US, the same English dub is full speed ahead in Canada.

It's real simple. They're putting more work and time into dubbing M20 than into the Sun&Moon series.

Shocking indeed, as in the episode is shockingly bad.

While still producing English episodes for Canada? Your response does not make any sense at all.

Hey, it's only one possible reason.

Disney XD is currently rerunning the first season of XY, so I assume they're trying to build up hype and they'll marathon a bunch of SM episodes when it's over.

I might be right.

Why's Litten a scamp then? Explain title explain!

That episode name...hmm

These dub episode titles make me long for the days of "The Spheal of Approval" and "Nice Pryce, Baby" because at least those were clever puns or wordplay(s) that fit the episode's overall focus. I cannot even fathom what thought process went into this latest title- a scamp is a mischievous creature, yes, but Litten is a vagabond so it's a wanderer from place to place with no home, so the title here makes absolutely zero sense. I still think "Yo, Ho, Ho! Go Popplio!" is the worst SM dub title, though.

Seems like Europe is going to be ahead of Canada now in terms of airing the Dub and if I'm not mistaken, that title is exactly like the JP title right?

It's basically the same, yes. CITV is airing SM006 through SM008 (as far as we know) before Canada (more info here).

Wow, a good title, surprisingly.

It's *slightly* different in tense in that the Japanese one says "Who WILL be" in charge rather than "Who IS in" charge here, but it's close enough: a heck of lot better than the last several were, I'll say that much.

I'm pretty sure the Litten title is just a play on the song "The Lady is a Tramp." Not a huge fan of the title, but it's an interesting source.

"Who's in Charge of the Egg" reminds me of an OS title. I really like it.

Are you sure? Because that's what Zap2it is calling the episode, and most of the episodes listed there are just fan translations of the Japanese titles, even SM003's title still has a fan translation of the Japanese title. Also, where is the exact source?

I would've expected a title like that because it's an egg episode. I'm pretty sure we had titles similar to this in previous series.

I find it extremely odd that ITV would mess up the title given that they were the ones to post the dub titles for SM001 and SM002. I hoped that their schedules wouldn't suffer from the same issues that their video player did (namely copying off Wikipedia).
