I still tend to not find it attractive whatever subs foreign language shows have. I would much prefer a fandub without all the censorship, etc. I'd love to see what a raw fandub would sound like in English.

No there should not be more fansubs for Pokémon. First of all it's illegal, and second at least there is a fansub available, which is better than nothing (for those who do prefer subs ;P). I prefer to just watch the dubbed episodes since it's much easier to watch an episode without having to constantly read text at the bottom of the screen.
They're only 3 eps behind. I suppose Pokemon isn't as popular with older people who are able to translate, so we only have a small group able to do it. I don't mind waiting for them so much though, since they have pretty high quality subs. They're easy to read, coloured-coded, and have karaoke subs for the songs, which I've always loved. Be grateful we don't get a convoluted mess of dub-names, poor grammar, garish fonts and just general bad translation, like this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0P33clIruk (a small clip like this is fine to post, right? otherwise...sorry in advance).
If official subs were available to watch, or purchase on DVD, I would snap it right up. But as they don't offer this at all, there isn't any other option. It wouldn't even be like it was much effort for the Pokemon Company to do (unlike something like Yugioh which was butchered) since *nowadays* there are pretty much no scene cuts, snips or edits, only dialogue and audio edits.

The pace of their sub releases isn't the worst part imo. Their translators and staff go around and bash every other sub done for XY in their attempt to promote their own. It's quite sad.
