>>53854052That's not why, TPCi wanted to save money and make more money by taking it in house from 4Kids. 4Kids' business decisions were why Pokemania happened in the first place, it was #1 on Kids WB all 8 years and the ratings fell in Japan correspondingly and only sunk further under TPCi with each passing Season like in Japan.
Al Kahn didn't run it like a dictatorship, this TPCi shilling is why we don't like you dubfags here. 4Kids was flawed, but cared way more about the dub than TPCi did, is the general agreed upon consensus for a reason.
4Kids never replaced as much of the OST in Pokemon as TPCi has ended up doing, TPCi has made errors, script changes, and even censored things like 4Kids but censored things even 4Kids didn't in recent years such as Meowth drowning or souls leaving bodies that were kept in the 4Kids dub believe it or not.
And the 4Kids VAs were MASSIVELY better than the TPCi VAs are to this day, TPCi made the dub unwatchable and-- to me-- that's worse than anything 4Kids did.
Also, you kept bringing up May's contest theme being kept by TPCi not 4Kids, big deal: they only kept 26% of the OST in Battle Frontier, LESS than 4Kids in Advanced and Advanced Challenge as a whole. Not to mention, to add insult to injury, TPCi replaced the S.S. Aqua theme 4Kids kept in every single time it played in the AG dub, there are pieces they liked TPCi never kept too and that's one of them.
Also Knotz's May sounds like a sexually frustrated woman moaning through all her lines by the end of BF, so creepy.
