The people being butthurt over there being no Battle Frontier makes me sad. Come on, it's just one feature, one that was only in the post-game and wasn't even present in R/S (sure there was the Battle Frontier in HG/SS, but still). It's not like removing this one feature ruins the entire game, since there's plenty of other content that makes up for it.

Is the rule that if we have a shitty series, the OP and ED have to be good? Granted, Mitte Mitte may have been too much overkill if they had introduced it in XY, but it really is a well done song. It's extremely pleasant to listen to.

>>21842420 I agree with you that the comparison is fucking terrible and Takei in his sleep with a blindfold being slapped senseless would still sound better than Cathcart at his best, but here's the video where I found the comment:

>>21842495 Holy shit when did TR become badass and what happened? I never watched BW so I know nothing about what happened that season.

>>21842616 Apparently Giovanni promoted them as their derpy retarded DP selves told them they defeated Hunter J or some shit like that, and became badass (Cathcart and Knotz fuck it up less than usual, but still fuck it up, though- recommend Japanese for badass TR), and they actually don't pop up every fucking episode- one of the only redeeming things about BW was TR, IMO.

>>21842642 I really liked being able to say they've appeared in every episode except the first.
Hell, before BW, if you counted pokemon chronicles, they appear more often than Ash and Pikachu.

>>21842642 If you like watching them plot for the entirety of their appearance about Nimbasa while moving ten feet towards Nimbasa, then sure. The only real good thing about Team Rocket's BW selves is that they got a promotion back to being actual Team Rocket agents again. No more scheming to catch a Whismur to be Giovanni's alarm clock or shit like that.

>>21842781 I honestly stopped liking TR (and Brock) in DP: they all got fucking annoying there to me (especially Brock) and just felt so flanderized, but I can see that standpoint on BW TR as well- I'd rather TR not show up these days in XY, but that's just me.

>>21842807 I do, too, as far as XY goes- they're really fucking annoying and flanderized these days, IMO- even worse than in DP.
Though, TPCi's dub just makes it that much worse- chain smoking Meowth, old man with cold James, slutty opera singer Jessie voices + shitty alliterations, "Primo Pokemon," and misc. crap = unbearable.

>>21842871 I guess it's because there was a time when the dub wasn't an irremediable piece of shit like it is nowadays. We had based Eric Stuart, Veronica Taylor, Rachael Lillis, Maddie Blaustein, "Flaming Moltres," "Like a streaker or something," and "Only one of us can hallucinate at a time" in the past.
Fucking shame that nowadays in the dub we have butch chain smoking lesbian Ash, old man with cold James, slutty opera singer Jessie, cigarette smoking Meowth, fucking terrible lines of dialogue from everyone, etc.

>>21842869 They haven't been bad in every episode of course, there have been some good ones in X/Y but that they appear in nearly every episode is just too much.
Like their appearance in the Shalour gym battle episode was probably one of their worst ones.
It just seems that the writers always resort to them to create conflict in the episodes. For example, the one with the Trevenant had so many possibilities but no, it had to be TR of course who caused everything.

>>21842928 Team Rocket would be fine if they had an actual overarching plot that doesn't involve getting defeated by Ash and co every episode. Like searching for mega stones or the history of the ultimate weapon or something, or even just opposing the regional villains again in their vie for power. Watching them send out Inkay and Pumpkaboo only to be beaten in a single hit gets incredibly tiring really quickly.

I don't even remember what the dub sounds like, if you kept watching that or still care about after we started getting regular Japanese episodes, then I don't know what's wrong with you, it's just not relevant anymore.

Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>21843083 It doesn't matter how much time has gone by because 1) frankly the TPCi cast is even worse now than when they started out at their roles just by looking at the ages of the characters, 2) they have only gotten worse with writing scripts and with music since they took over- just go watch DP and XY dubbed, 3) time doesn't change the quality unless you put actual fucking effort into what you're doing, 4) they are replacing more of the JPN OST than 4Kids ever did in XY, and 5) some of us actually would watch this show in English despite the JPN version being superior because we like to listen to stuff in our native tongue.
Unfortunately, the current dub is lacking in so many fucking departments that I'm forced to watch the JPN version as the alternative is pretty unbearable to watch- I'm not asking for a dub like FMA- I'm asking for something with people working on it who have actual talent with what they're doing.

>>21843043 I'd love it if the whole Team Rocket would do something, like some big operation planned by Giovanni and they would send many TR members to Kalos for that.
Or at least some people who aren't James, Jessie and Meowth, like maybe let Cassidy and Balthazar return for a few episode or so.

Still, won't bash the dubbers as they were given a mistranslation from the producers in JPN, and because Chronicles was years ago- plus, Veronica Taylor being cast as him (or rather "her" in the dub) is satisfactory enough for me: don't want to imagine how badly TPCi would cast him.
Anonymous
>>21843149 The beginning episodes of XY led me to believe that this kind of shit will actually happen, with TR reporting info they learn on mega evolution to Giovanni. Baltar and Cassidy would be neat to see again, at least. Hell, if Mega Mewtwo X is gonna appear at some point, it'll be practically guaranteed.

>>21843569 I doubt that the date thing will hit at all, at least not with Ash.
If he will recognize it as a date at all during the episode, whether because someone points it out or not, that would seriously surprise me. That's exactly what I want to happen though of course.
