Rate the new dub

Leave the voice acting out, and PUSA has done a much better job in keeping the content practically the same.
 
I preferred Mays old voice, but I don't have a problem with Ash or Brock and I rather like James and Meowths voices. And I enjoy Dawns dub voice.

So majority yes for DP, but they should have kept the older voices for the Battle Frontier, and started new voices with DP.
 
I say PUSA did a better job of dubbing Pokemon than 4Kids did (but 4Kids did a decent job with the dubbing as well).
 
I'd say that TPCI (F.K.A. PUSA) definitely does a better job of Dubbing the show, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

I think the main issue for me is keeping all of the original Background Music (BGM) intact, without any Dub-only music added to the show. I can personally vouch for the fact that TPCI keeps more than half the original BGM than 4Kids did in their latter seasons. And were also seeing now episode where the entire soundtrack is left alone. But I wish TPCI would produce episodes like Where No Togepi Has Gone Before and Dressed for Jess Success on a constant basis. As for vocals, I really hope the Dub can keep the Japanese songs intact, but if not, a really good English vocal like what they used during the movie credits will do.
 
Yeah, they really should just go ahead and produce English versions of the Japanese songs. Just think how much easier their jobs would have been if they had had an English version of Ready Go! or Maemuki Rocket-dan ready to fire up whenever it's used as an insert song in the original.

I mean, the music and the melody are already there, 4Kids / TPCI. Half the work's already been done for you!
 
This is like asking people in 1992 if George Bush did a better job than Ronald Reagan. Things are screwed either way, just for different reasons.
 
Am I the only person who liked the original dub voices more? Not sure why, I just really prefer them.
 
The only difference is that we have less nonsense edits. Everything is fine to me.

What? you mean that people generally like PUSA more? I can't understand that. The new voices have ruined the enjoyability for me quite a bit.
 
Meh. Well, at least the music is better, and it is great that sometimes they leave all the Japanese music un-cut. But you know how I feel about the dub writing...

And since people can't stay quiet about the VAs, I predict the thread will be closed soon if this goes on.
 
To 4Kids credit, their Team Rocket rewrites were a lot funnier, but that’s all they’re really got over whoever the hell does it now. Never has comic banter left me as straight-faced as that of the new age Rockets......as far as I can remember.
 
Music-wise, I think the TPCI music is generally worse. But I do like how, in a few recent episodes, they've kept most, or all, of the Japanese music, which I like better.
 
In all honesty its about the same. But I do think 4kids wrote Team Rocket better. 4kids TR was often funny, even in the Hoenn seasons which was the last one 4kids dubbed, I still found TR funny in that saga.
 
Has TPCI ever made a motto as awesome as the one from Solid as a Solrock? That one was done by 4Kids, and it was one of the best i've ever heard.
 
Really the VA's being changed was a deal breaker for me, after they changed it wasn't the same show so I stopped watching.
 
I personally think for the most part, PCI does better. They keep about the same plus more of the music, the script sounds a whole lot less canned(one thing about 4Kids is that they use the same puns....over and over and over). PCI, you don't really hear the same puns very much. Though I'd like to know why they use obscure sayings such as 'in the pink' and things like that.

Overall 4Kids script seems a lot more forced than PCI. That and PCI actually seems to know about the show, unlike 4Kids.
