    There's a lot of versions of the Pokemon dub, besides English. Most of the other dubs use the English dub as dubover. (Since I'm trash, and looked it up on Bulbapedia), there are many other languages the Pokemon anime can be watched in. These languages are, according to Bulbapedia:

    Bulbapedia said:
    "The Pokémon anime has been dubbed to many languages. Most western countries use the English dub as the basis for their own dub, while some Asian countries use the original Japanese version instead. Some dubs leave English names and text untranslated. Other than English, the anime has been at least partially dubbed to Arabic, Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, both Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, both Canadian French and European French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Malaysian, Norwegian, Polish, both Brazilian and Iberian Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, both Latin American and European Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese."

    With so many languages to choose from... has anyone seen the Pokemon anime in any language beside English and Japanese, if so, what languages? What other Pokemon dub would you like to hear? I'm kinda wanting to watch the French dub someday...
     
    When I was on holiday in Egypt once, I saw the episode Just Add Water in a different language on my hotel TV. I couldn't tell what language it was and I thought it was Arabic, but my parents said it sounded German.

    Although I've never watched the anime in any language other than English or Japanese, I have listened to the Italian theme songs. They're really catchy.
     
    I'm dutch so I have watched a few episodes of the dutch anime. The song is pretty catchy, but some of the voices are really annoying, and get old hilariously fast. I watch them english only though, just because I don't like reading subtitles when I watch anime
     
    I'm actually really fond of the Italian dub and their theme songs. The Italian Pokemon music is really catchy. I went through a phase some years ago with listening to the music in probably 20 or 30 different languages, and it still blows my mind that Pokemon has so many dubs. Or did back then, I dunno how many of them are still going.

    I've really only seen full episodes in Japanese and English, though. D:

    Admittedly, I would like to find episodes in like.. Chinese or Korean or something just to see how they different from the Japanese eps, or if they leave things nearly the same. Cause I know with most dubs outside of Asia, they names and script and music are mostly based on the English dub, cause they go through us to get the episodes, instead of going through Japan.
