>>35976025The BW dub on the other hand, started out much, much better than the DP dub on the other hand and I'll give you that (partially because Bill Rogers' Brock's god-awful old man with constipation left the show for good as a main character, Natochenny stopped using her super gruff voice for Ash for a time, and they went from keeping 38% of the Japanese music in the last DP season to 92% in the first BW season), but BW's dub got worse as it went on with more rewrites by the middle (down to 36% of the OST kept in the Anime), and by the last season BW's dub got pretty bad (e.g. down to 20% JPN OST kept by the end in the Anime, calling apples "berries," Natochenny had regressed back to making Ash sounding too deep but the effeminate raspy voice that she ended up using in XY & SM's dubs onward began forming in late BW).
Still, anything of the dub be it OS, AG, DP, or BW certainly beats the cancerously bad TPCi XY & SM dubs, the Pokemon dub is now utter, unmitigated trash- even 4Kids was better at it, at their worst. I'd gladly take back anything we had before this point: Goldfarb replaces >90% of the Japanese music now which is worse than the dub ever was before on the music replacements, a vast majority of the VAs suck at their roles (Lillie, Mallow & Rotom are horrendous in the SM dub, so it's not even just the current VAs for older characters that sound awful now), the script is rewritten quite a bit (Ash with douche-y slang like "psyched," "down the hatch," "kay," etc., TR with the same awful alliteration/slang/rhyme dialogue from DP's dub onward, etc.), and the intros are shorter than ever (28 seconds is a new low for the dub with Under the Alolan Moon).
