9.0AM - Battle Frontier Encore
9.5AM - Battle Frontier Premiere
10.0AM - Fantastic Four Encore
10.5AM - Team Galaxy Premiere
11.0AM - Robotboy Premiere
11.5AM - Teen Titans Reruns

So it seems the Toonami block won't be used for the new season. *shrugs*

In related news, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is only half hour long, and will also appear on one of the Chronicle Toonami slots once.

.5AM? There's an interesting way of saying half-past-the-hour...

Well, it's adopted from Toonami's way of telling what time the shows will be on.

And concidering that the source was a thread on a Toonami-centered subforum of Toonzone..
 
I still think its possible they can show repeats on toonami in the future at least.. (to replace chronicals)
 
Looks like they want to keep it airing in the same general timeslot of saturday mornings.
 
Well, I know there are a lot of Toonami fans who are going to be happy at this news since most of them hate the idea of Pokemon on Toonami.
 
By the way:


AG 147 "Psychic vs. Ghost! The Midnight Duel!?"
PBF 001: "Fear Factor Phony"

AG 148 "Manene Enters! The Relaxation Guesthouse!"
PBF 002: "Sweet Baby James"

AG 149 "Mizugorou and Mokoko! The Wonder Drug of Love!?"
PBF 003: "A Chip Off the Old Brock!"

AG 150 "The Battle Arena! The Hand-to-Hand
Fighting Showdown!!"
PBF 004: "Wheel...of Fortune!"

AG 151 "The Day Care Worker and the Pokemon's Egg!"
PBF 005: "May's Egg-Cellent Adventure!"
 
Yay!

More Pun-titles!


I LOVE those!!!! :-D



And yes, seriously, I really do like the fact that for the most part, they've always had puns in the episode tiles (I'm also one of the few people who find the puns funny). XD


Anyway, it seems that they're pulling a "__, Pokemon Style" on us, by making a pun out of an older episode title, lol (that one episode title used different words, but was loosely based on the Master Quest title, "An Egg-Citing Adventure"). XD

The puns live... not a bit surprised. "Sweet Baby James" sounds pretty weird. I must not get the pun.
 
Yeah, I don't get that pun either...... O.O

*is confused about that one*



And by the way, I'm glad that new episodes of Pokemon are gonna air on Saturday mornings. That's good news, cause I've always liked getting up early to watch Pokemon. ^^

Okay, the airhead who didn't the titles for 4Kids has been hired by PUSA. Marg, will Pokemon ever get out of 4Kids shadow?

Yeah, personally see they think a lot of this as people being use to the crap 4Kids did. And the people at SOVA scared them so bad about someting out of control that they started making things in their control more like 4Kids.

Still, Wheel...of...Fortune LOL.

So, Saturday mornings? Fine with me. Though I wonder what happens when Meguzi completes Season 8 and Chronicles finishes in the coming weeks. No doubt it'll move to take one of their spots.

I think it has to do with this: "Sweet Baby Jesus". I've heard this phrase used, so I'm guessing the titles is based off of this saying. Of course, I could be wrong. If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to add onto this.
 
Ah, a religious reference, I suppose it is obscure enough not to raise any red flags.

I agree with TBA, that PUSA likely feels pressured to keep elements as close to the 4Kids dub as possible, especially (in)famous things such as the punny titles. Watch them still have "Trainer's Choice" segments.
 
Of course they'll still have the Trainer's Choice segments. XD

Afterall, those were done by Lawrence Neves and he works for Pokemon USA, lol.



Although, I don't mind the Trainer's Choice segment. I like it, because there were a few of them that were actually challenging. :-)

And these are the ones I'm talking about:


"Which of these Pokemon was my original choice as a starter?"

"Which of these Pokemon is the heaviest?" (I actually got that one wrong, lol)

I have some doubts, in regards to that. While it does seem like Pokemon USA will be keeping some of the content close to 4Kids adaption, it seems Pokemon USA is trying to aim for keeping more content in. Meaning, we'll be most likely getting the original eyecatchers. There's also been speculation Pokemon USA is dubbing the next episode previews.

But we will not know until the show begins to air, or unless Pokemon USA says so.
 
Though they did it for 4Kids. And I think he took over for Season 8 after the farce that was Advance Challenges TC's. Arbok evolves into Seviper will go down in history as the worst TC goof ever. They've all been right and more diverse during season 8. Granted, I like the Japanese eyecatch, I could tolerate TC if it's like season 8.
 
LMAO, and there were people here who honestly believed they would simply translate the Japanese titles.

I am interested to see if they keep the Trainer Choices or not, at least we know they'll be all right this time if they do keep them.
 
And seriously, it's not like 4kids is the only company that uses Dub Titles, other companys do as well.

I really, really doubt SOVA has any effect on this. And don't forget that a lot of people behind the scenes are people who worked on the dub at 4Kids anyway so it isn't that surprising that we'd end up with something similar to before.

But a lot of people like the dub titles. I would like them to be linked by more to the story than just the featured Pokémon at times and these are all average but they are still more memorable and easier for PUSA to come up with than any other option.

Fear Factor Phony - I guess this is to do with the ghosts and the plot and something...
Sweet Baby James - Bit of a wtf but sneaking in religious references has to be a plus for those set on blasting 4Kids.
A Chip Off the Old Brock - Funny thing that Mudkip does. :-)
Wheel...of Fortune - That's basically what the Battle Arena's quirk is.
May's Egg-Cellent Adventure - There's lots of eggs and it is a May episode and 4Kids must have done the egg pun at some point.
