I don't know, while it's definitely not unheard of for other dubs to downplay or outright censor romantic stuff, I'd say 4Kids was pretty darn pretty consistent about making Ash/Misty shipping hints in Pokémon more explicit than they were in the original (barring a few odd cases like that one Delcatty episode, but even that's arguable in terms of intent as Dogasu mentioned in his comparison).Interesting new comparison, it's surprising that the dub is actually MORE explicit about the romantic stuff when usually it's the other way around and you see dubs toning that stuff down so i'm surprised to learn that it was more subtle in the original version.
