At the end of the day guys, does it really matter that much what music is used? @Dogasu; I'm not sure if your Japanese or just an English speaking guy living in Japan, but it is clear that you watch it in Japanese, and I'd assume because you live in Japan and they aren't great with English that you can speak/understand Japanese, and therefore can understand the anime in the original Japanese? If I'm wrong about any of this so far please feel free to correct me.
Why get so worked up about the fact that when this product is then sent overseas, it's altered slightly to make it more appealing to the outside target audience?
My family is Italian, my nan says Pizza Hut pizza isn't real pizza, it's not authentic. But she doesn't get worked up about people not having pure Italian pizza, and instead having an Americanized version. Heck most of the Chinese food we eat isn't what they actually eat in China, I don't see any Chinese people complain that we don't consume the authentic version.
At the end of the day, Pokemon is a product like any other, and all products are altered slightly when they enter a new market to appeal to that market. Lots of singers translate their songs from their native language into English (or in some cases into Spanish) and a lot of the time it's not a direct translation. Pokemon is just being adapted slightly to appeal to a wider audience, so that rather than being a Japanese franchise, it's a global international franchise!
