The Pros and Cons of 4kids

[matt0044]

Seeing as 4kids is running on empty and going down the crapper, it's time we looked back on their Pokemon dub and discussed what they did right with it and what they did wrong with it.

My Pros:
1.Voice acting was good and got better
2.Dub music was generic but had a charm to it.
3.Dialogue had cheesy appeal.
4.Stayed true to the story in translation to English for the most part.

Cons:
1.The whole Riceball change. Not to beat a dead horse but what the HELL, 4kids!?
2.Unneeded visual edits and music replacements
3.Errors in script translations and unneeded changes.
4.More to come.

What about you? Be sure to keep it civil and constructive.

I'm being redundant, but as I said in a similar topic, they ruined Jessie's past by one little word that consisted of a big difference in Snow Way Out. They made her say that her mother was poor and had to feed her snow, but it wasn't her mom at all. That was an insignificant detail for most people, but super important for the kid I was!
