Sins of TPCi (The Pokemon Company International)

No.28335333 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
What has this company done wrong in its history, in your opinion?

I'll start:

>Took back TCG from Wizards in 2001 only to shit it up with crappy holofoils and changed the rules years later to make the game harder to play for veterans, also nullifying the use of those cards
>Took the Pokemon Anime dub license away from 4Kids by force (Pokemon being the one Anime 4Kids was generally fairly good at dubbing for its first 8 years), then recasting all the main characters with cheaper, cost cutting actors, including Sarah Natochenny who had never done any English dubbing before taking over as the current voice of Ash in the dub.
>Keeping JCC as the script writer from the last few 4Kids seasons, while simultaneously dumping the other 4Kids writers to save money, and in addition, promoting him to chief script adapter. Also, letting him butcher Team Rocket's dialogue for years now through XYZ's dub, and giving Ash etc. awkward slang that no kids their ages would say in real life.
>Suing fan Ramar Larkin Jones for $4,000 dollars because TPCi were trying to make a quick buck despite him taking down his Pokemon themed party because they forced him too (which, let's be real, there are plenty of Pokemon themed parties elsewhere TPCi could target, if they were so concerned about that).
>Taking down Pokemon ReOrchestrated creator's music despite the creator owning the rights to the music he composed based off the games himself.
>Replacing more of the Japanese OST by Shinji Miyazaki in the Anime & Movies dubs than 4Kids ever did when they had Pokemon since Season 17 & Movie 17 began, replacing it with awkward elevator, UFO, and faux opera themes instead by Ed Goldfarb.

Is there a reason anyone should like these guys, and why is the answer, no?
