I say the top ten worst things would have been:


10: Breaking The Fourth Wall
9: The Freaking Jelly Donuts
8: Sucky Openings
7: Deleting Funny Scenes
6: Replacing BGM
5: Town Names(Remember Hop-hop-hop town?)
4: Character Of The Day Names
3: Team Rocket Mottos
2: THE FREAKING VOICES
1: Almost making Pokeshipping a reality. The Christmas CDs had WAY too many hints, especially he "Under The Mistletoe" thing. In fact, the only reason I even listened to that was to hear Ashy singing...but anyway, then there was the song "He Drives Me Crazy" and the song from the broadway show, "I've Got A Secret"(the only reason that wasn't a pure hint was because Delia was singing too, about his father). Then all the references in the show, like the scene on the blimp to Orange Islands where Team Rocket was at their worst Pokeshipping moment.(I swear, Ashy should've gone all Rocketshipping on them).


They didn't attack ANY other shipping the way they did with Poke. They didn't go after Contest or Rocket, which had almost TOO many hints to not be true. But NOOOO, they jumped ALL over the most common(and in my opinion, least possible and ovesupported) shipping ever.

But still, 4kids REALLY pissed me off. This is NOT a little kids show, d***it!!!
 
I'm confused. How were they ruined?

Frankly, I liked the 4Kids era.

I don't really agree with the Top 10 list posted at the beginning? Breaking the Fourth Wall? Have you no sense of humor?
 
Where do I even start? :-p But since it hasn't been mentioned, gay James sucked.
 
Breaking the fourth wall and that is it. NEVER EVER EVER do that in an anime.

NEVER.

The CODS too. Like Rudy. They couldn't have thought of anything better?
(But no offense if your name is Rudy, I just think it didn't fit his character ^_^)

Removing every single piece of kanji

Trying to trick kids into thinking it's American (Like the jelly donuts)

And how about Brianna's voice in BF?
 
Tons of anime break the fourth wall. I don't understand why that's such a bad thing.

And the Rocket-dan have done it as well, so it's not just a dub thing.


There's so many bad things 4Kids did that I really don't know where to start. The first movie, eliminating Japanese, Team Rocket, the "jokes", the writing in general... and those are just off the top of my head.

Yes, but this was ESPECIALLY bad in 4Kids.

Also, I don't know any other animes that break the fourth wall.
 
What is so bad about breaking the fourth wall? It's FUNNY!

It was the way that 4KIDS did it that got me pissed. I didn't mind it in general, but the way they did it is what got me mad.
 
Okay, what was so bad about how 4Kids did it?
 
Replacing the music
Everything they did to Kojiro
All of the pointless name changes and script changes
Paint edits for no reason
Changes that actively altered the entire meaning of scenes, episodes, or entire movies

Really, just about everything that they did.

Alright, lets see some of the worst quotes.....



Meowth: AAH!! WHERE'S MY NOSE??? Oh that's right! The cartoonist forgot to give me a nose!


Ash(with writing all over his face from Jigglypuff): I look like a cartoon character!!!
Brock: That's ridiculous, Ash.

(note: this one was from the second movie, thus the quote)
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, we're on the big screen!
James: And make it double like you've never seen!
Ash: I'll have to catch this on video...




But I always hated how 4Kids saw it as a cartoon and not an anime. I don't know how to even explain how pissed off I get when someone calls an anime a cartoon.
 
That's 4Kids' problem in general. They don't like anything foreign. Everything must be Amercanized for maximum profit.

Oh, and kids can't read.
 
I don't know- DUB IT!!!

But seriously, the worst thing that 4Kids has ever done to the show was replacing Japanese stuff with American stuff (mostly food).

In all of the other aspects of the show, 4Kids > TPCI dub.
 
Looking over the original post again...

like the scene on the blimp to Orange Islands where Team Rocket was at their worst Pokeshipping moment.

That was in the original. You can't blame that on 4Kids.

What's the problem with these?
