From Bulbapedia:

DP30: Some Enchanted Sweetening (Eterna Forest! The Burmy Evolution Plan!)

DP31: The Grass Type Is Always Greener (Turtwig vs. Turtwig! Speed Showdown!)

DP32: An Angry Combee-nation (Vespiquen of the Amber Castle!)

DP33: All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go (It's Love! Pokémon Transformation Convention!!)

DP34: Buizel Your Way Outta This! (Buizel! The Road to Strength!!)
 
The funny thing is, I discovered these totally by accident. Was researching the move Shadow Claw and clicked on the page for Zoey's Glameow, which referenced the Buizel title.

Is it just me, or are these titles better than the typical PUSA titles? They aren't spectacular, but they are pretty good nevertheless. I really, really like DP30's.
 
Someone please tell them to stop rushing with the freakin' episodes. These aired less than six months ago, didn't they?! D=

THEY USED MY PUN! "BUIZEL YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS" HAD BEEN MY TRADEMARK ...thingy I said... FOR THE LAST LITTLE WHILE!

Anyway, they are better than typical PUSA titles, especially the Buizel one. It would take a genius to come up with that one...hehehe...
 
I love these titles!!

And I agree. They DO sound better than normal Pokemon USA titles do. They actually sound more like 4Kids titles, if you ask me. ^_^

Wow! That's amazing! O.O


So I'm guessing that Pokemon USA and/or Cartoon Network just wants to get the U.S. very close to the Japanese version.

That's really cool! Because it means we should be getting the dub of an episode, shortly after the Japanese version has aired! ^_^



But then again, I'm not sure if I'm more excited or more scared about this happening. It's never happened before with the dub. And in my opinion, it's really weird how they've been dubbing/airing these new episodes so fast (or maybe it's because Japan has been slowing down with episodes, so as a result, all those delays and everything have caused the English dub to get much closer than before).

Anyway, I can't figure out why they're doing this, other than to make people happy about getting the dubbed version faster than before.... ^^

YTV used to always air Pokémon and Digimon episodes at rapid rate.

The Digimon dub ended here before the original did in Japan.

And Master Quest was done within months. This was normal for here, only being a little while behind Japan.

Now we barely get anything and it always takes a while.
 
Yeah, and I'm not complaing about it or anything. In fact, I think it's great that we're getting all these dubbed episodes so quickly. It's really amazing.


However, I'm just confused about why the dub (in the U.S. anyway) is now closer to the Japanese version than ever before.

Even back when 4Kids had the show, and it was still airing on KidsWB here, we never got this close to the Japanese version.



Anyway, I wonder what changed to make Pokemon USA/CN decide to do this? Ah well. I guess there's no point in trying to figure out why they're doing this (though, I think it would be VERY interesting to know the answer).

So for now, I'm just gonna enjoy seeing all these new episodes of D/P, and watching the dub catch up to Japan. This is gonna be really cool, that's for sure!! XD
 
They're taking advantage of the popularity, and the overmarketing is gonna kill it very soon if they don't stop.
 
It happened before...not only with Pokémon, but almost every other fad.

Can you say Yu-gi-oh! cards in your Happy Meal?

I read an infomative interview, and a PUSA exec or summat says their trying to keep themselves in line this time. Obviously, they aren't speaking for their Japanese equivelents, seeing all the crazy stuff they sell over thar. If there is a reason for CN's quickness in airing the episodes and their overall treatment of old Pokemon movies and episodes, I think their exclusive rights to Pokemon may be running out, or they're just flaunting it.

Kotaku right here.

Wait, I wasn't aware we were in 2000. So guys, these Orange Islands episodes are awesome imo.


At the moment I see no overmarketing. The once-a-weekday thing they had going during the summer was a bit much - if they had kept that up for too long we would be waiting for a long time for new eps. But now they're doing once-a-week and they can keep that up pretty much indefinitely, since that's what the Japanese do.
 
I like the once-a-week thing, all though I wish it premiered at night instead of in the morning. These episode titles are pretty creative. I don't really like Speed Showdown's, but you can't like 'em all.

We're four months behind because of a combination of two things, PUSA rushing all the episodes in the once-a-weekday thing, and then Japan always taking breaks (all though I guess they do compensate with the one-hour specials).
 
Some Enchanted Sweetening - I don't get it
The Grass Type is Always Greener - That's actually true
An Angry Combeenation - Win
Buizel Your Way Outta This - INSTAWIN
 
Some Enchanted Sweetening is a play on Some Enchanted Evening. It was a song from a musical called South Pacific.

You can say some lyrics of the actual song does somehow relate to the episode on how they are randomly encountering Cheryl.

"Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again."

Although the song is implying a romantic encounter and whatnot.

Now tell me...are they going for obscure references in their titles or what?

Is South Pacific that obscure? Well, maybe the musical is, but that song is pretty famous.
