>>52535641Me and my gf have been watching the cartoon since last autumn, but with breaks (mostly in spring). We are at the middle of the Alola series right now.
Make sure to watch the Japanese episodes whenever you can. The English dub goes to shit after 4kids loses the license, but, luckily, a lot of Battle Frontier has subbed Japanese episodes, and around mid-late DP you can switch to watching only the Japanese eps.
Aside from the voices, the Japanese versions are better because the keep most of the original music (including remixes of game music), while the Americans, both 4kids and PUSA/TPCI, like to remove original music and use their own compositions, because it's cheaper than buying the rights from the Japanese.
