We all know the TPCI is infamous for replacing 95% of the original music with typically boring and generic sounding tracks that do not fit the scene. It can be anything, from instrumentals of the Japanese opening themes, to original anime music such as "To Be Continued", or actual in game music that gets replaced. A lot of the time, it results in the scene becoming stale and it fails to get across the intended emotions. What are some examples of the worst times the music was replaced to you?
One moment to me was when Ash-Greninja was fighting Mega Sceptile in the Kalos League Semi-Finals. The original used an extended version of the Ash-Greninja theme that really built up the excitement as we saw Greninja dodging Frenzy Plant, synced up with Ash, while also attacking Mega Sceptile with powerful moves. The dub replaced it with this generic track they used for Kalos battles to build suspense, though it fails dramatically.
