>I'm not sure if there's anyone autistic enough to go back through all of SOS and re-edit their translation afresh to make it actually correct. So it's probably best for people to just make it better known around the fandom that the SOS subs are as shit as they are.

There's plenty of autism floating around but I don't know if anyone is THAT autistic. Honestly, looking at that volume of work, you're probably better off just starting afresh from scratch. Even putting the tranny mental illness aside, the translation work in and of itself is not of very high quality. They were translated singlehandedly by one person, the person theorising about pokémon having gay sex and sodomising each other in pic related, and as other anons have pointed out their grasp on the Japanese language is middling at best.

I think you're right, the best thing people can do is just state the truth: that the Sea of Serenity subs are total shit and should be avoided.

It's par for the course with these people. They are so arrogant they think they can change the sex they were born as. By comparison this is miniscule.

>It's probably too much to hope for wanting someone to one day make new subtitles that have the correct romanizations of the Japanese names (or even just straight-up the English names, I'd rather see those than their ugly romanizations), even if everything else about the subtitles is exactly the same.

It would be a vast improvement, but considering the effort involved at that point why not just start from scratch? Better to cook a fresh meal than spend a significant amount of time trying to make a nasty plate of slop taste nice by sprinkling some herbs and spices over it.

I disagree on this, if only on one point. As shitty as the translation is, the fact that SOS did all the timing for the subs actually cuts out a lot of work from the amount of time needed to redo the subs, if someone were to redo them. The sub timing for every episode could be retained from SOS and the translation could then be line-by-line revised. As someone who's dabbled in subs before, the timing can actually take even longer than translating because you're trying to deal with frame-perfect precision through trial and error. Still, you would need an enormous amount of autism from people who actually know Japanese to even attempt this. I agree with >>58292978 that a script could be made to automate the process of fixing the mon names from the start.

I'm the anon who has access to their tranny discord. While it would be handy if their timing was good, I'm the bearer of bad news telling you that it ain't. Their timing work is very spotty and they didn't do a good job. Their tranny discord is full of people bringing up errors they made in the timing. I haven't checked every single episode but from what I've seen the problems are bad enough where you'd have to manually go through and fix it all yourself.

Surprise, surprise, what a shock that the subs that were poorly translated by 1 single individual running on low sleep for over 6 years are shoddily done and clearly come across like work that was done by someone who was severely sleep deprived.

Ah shit, nevermind then. I don't have a nyaa.si account, but if I did, I'd just place a comment on both of their sub uploads warning that the subs are bad, and give general reasons how (no insults, just cold reality), and that no amount of "CHECK MUH TRANSLATOR NOOTES" and "THINK OF MUH EFFORT" will change that. At the bare minimum, that will prevent anyone from wrongly assuming SOS has produced the "definitive" subs for pre-BW Pokémon, thus deterring any future autist from having a go at it. This seems to confirm that, even after SOS finishes DP, PMSubs will remain the preferred subs for the latter half of that season.

Between this and to a lesser extent Some-Stuffs, it has gotten really fucking annoying that people who clearly don't know a language decide to anoint themselves as translators, just because they have enough free time. At least Some-Stuffs gradually improved a little, largely because they absorbed several ex-PMSubs guys. SOS sounds like a single tranny being encouraged by other trannies, and thus the subs are produced in an atmosphere where genuine criticism (i.e., "This actually sucks, and you should stop and learn the language better before continuing") isn't allowed.

A higher amount of effort actually makes it worse, not better. It shows that despite putting in more effort they still made a shitty, inferior end result compared to other groups. That is if you believe the arselicking about high effort. Trannies are not famous for their work ethic.

Absolutely unsurprising. It's wild. If I were doing a translation and someone had genuine critiques of the translation, I would promptly determine if they're right and, if so, ask them if they'd like to contribute. But nope, criticism is violence, so b&.

Honestly, it's fitting that some of the most beloved episodes of Pokémon are going to be stuck with shit subs because the good sub groups either died or are subbing modern slop. Decades of opportunities and this is what we have to show for it.

Around the time SM started, Rica mentioned at a concert that her headcanon is that SM stars a Satoshi that traveled to Alola after he had visited a couple cities in Kanto at the start of his journey.
ie SM Satoshi felt so out of character to her that not only did he not make any sense to her as post-XY Satoshi, he didn't even make sense to her as post-KANTO Satoshi).

This was back when there wasn't "definite proof" yet that SM was canon to the other series instead of a reboot, so there was a bunch of faggotry related to idiots misinterpreting what she was saying at the time. It's clearly about how the character is written and acted rather than what events had technically and canonically happened in his past.

I found it, anon. I did a "find in files" word search for オムライス (omurice) with all the GS subs and got two results. The first is episode 160 (OS160_J042 - Kogane Gym! Speed & Power!), so the commenter got that right. What the commenter got wrong was the time. It's not at 9:30 but at 3:30. Here's the SOS subbed lines, starting at 3:24:
>Satoshi: Let's get a kid's meal at the department store restaurant and take a break.
>Kasumi: I want omurice!
>Takeshi: Follow me, guys.
>Kasumi: You know where to go, Takeshi?
And here are the raw CC lines that, presumably, the translator was working from (I've added prefaced names for the first two lines):
>(サトシ) 気分転換にデパートのレストランでお子様ランチでも食べよう
>(カスミ) あたしオムライス
>(タケシ) じゃあ俺木の葉丼
>(カスミ) え~ タケシそれ何?
Even the worst of machine translators can tell you that SOS tranny mistranslated the last two lines, just as the commenter says.

WTF?! The AG captions finally appeared online right around the time SOS started AG, so I assumed they had waited to get them. Are you saying that this faggot never once actually utilized the captions? I mean, the captions aren't perfect and sometimes omit lines, but that's where a proper Japanese speaker would fill in the blanks themselves by ear. Holy shit this enterprise is worse than I had assumed. If the whole translation was done by ear, this is beyond bad.

But if you're start a circlejerk and seethe about ti rent free 24/7 about it might as well put that energy into doing something useful and fixing the issue you're noticing and you hate so much for existing.

Difference being that this is something perfectly feasible for the laymen. There's no "I need to be Nintendo-rich" excuse to justify how you cannot do anything because you don't have the means and the resources. You actually can do something about it this time. Quite easily so in fact.
So why aren't you?
These people are capable of putting all this effort, misguised as it is, towards subbing the whole thing. Are you saying you're lesser than them in knowledge, how-knows and willingness?

Well, I may slowly grind away at editing these subs.
If someone can compile a list of the translation errors within them I'll make sure to fix those.
As far as a re-translation is concerned, I know a bit of japanese but not enough to think I could pull off a full re-translation in any reasonable amount of time. For any lines I do change I'll make sure to check against the original japanese to make sure I don't stray from the original meaning.
I'll be using the official english names for moves and attacks for the sake of simplicity.

>Absolutely unsurprising. It's wild. If I were doing a translation and someone had genuine critiques of the translation, I would promptly determine if they're right and, if so, ask them if they'd like to contribute. But nope, criticism is violence, so b&.
Many such cases.

>Honestly, it's fitting that some of the most beloved episodes of Pokémon are going to be stuck with shit subs because the good sub groups either died or are subbing modern slop. Decades of opportunities and this is what we have to show for it.
Yeah honestly I feel the exact same way. Look, I get that the PM crew didn't wanna keep doing SM. I know that word has spread that some or all of them didn't like SM. But in that case, why not go back to the actually good Pokémon and sub that instead? If you don't like it (and I didn't like it either), then why not just go back to the good stuff? They'd already done subs for a scattering of episodes over the previous generations. They knew that people thought their subs were the bee's knees and that they wouldn't just get ignored and fall into the void. People would have eaten that shit up.

Yeah, mistranslations aside these subs are just painful to read. They don't need to be "corrected", the entire show needs to be redone.

As >>58295276 said, you're not going to get easy answers. It's worth remembering that this is a show for 7-year-olds. If you know the Japanese that a child knows, you're already more qualified than the actual SOS subber. Your best bet would be just to watch episode 1, see if any English sentences read wrong just from sight (as >>58285065 was able to show just by putting it next to PM), couple that with any lines that you hear that appear mismatched with the subs on the screen, and then compile a list. Just do this for episode 1, as a test case, because multiple aborted sub groups have subbed episode 1 and so there's a ton of reference material. This also gives you a crutch. By the end of episode 1, you'll have a better idea of your abilities before you decide to tackle anything else. The easiest starting place is just replacing the Pokémon names with their actual romanizations rather than the fanfic shit SOS invented.

I've gone back and had a look over that part of their Pokémon channel's chat logs. Having skimmed over it I definitely remember there being a lot more to these interactions than is currently there. I don't religiously watch this shithole so I don't know when it happened, but it seems pretty clear that there was some deleting of messages going on on the part of the people running this tranny infested dump. I've looked and looked and can't find the part of the conversation where they openly talk about banning this character. Yet, I was there at the time and remember it going down. I'll screenshot and post the bits that haven't been deleted.

Imagine that, trannies deleting something that gives them bad optics. Colour me shocked. Surely trannies would never, ever be so slimy and duplicitous.

Remember:
bumblyumbly / Akiko is the translator and subtitler who singlehandedly did Sea of Serenity's Pokémon release
Britchan / Hikari is one of the co-owners of Sea of Serenity, an admin in their tranny discord and a "she/her".

Yep, that's the question. I don't blame them for hating SM, but they could've been more transparent about saying they weren't going to continue, allowing a new group like Some-Stuffs to take their place more seamlessly, and then just going back to OS, remastering what they had already done with Indigo with hardsubs, and then finishing Indigo League. Not even saying they needed to do Johto hell or even AG. But surely they could've gone back and filled in the first half of DP. It's just unfortunate that they just vanished off the face of the earth one day and left everyone in the dark.

Well it turns out the trannies didn't delete that specific part of the conversation like I initally thought in my skim through it. I had to dig but I eventually found the relevant part. Other parts of the conversation has disappeared but maybe this stayed because it doesn't include the words ban, banned or any variations of it. (which is the main reason why I could't find it when I skimmed the channel)

That part of it begins here

KEK your tranny friend spent 6 years of (her? its? his?) life singlehandedly translating and subtitling this slop and the result is something I wouldn't even wipe my shitty asshole with. Us having our amusing conversation mocking your slop, when you take into account how slow threads move compared to real life conversation, has taken place over only a few hours of actual talking over the past few threads.

I've only heard they did the first 6 or so episodes of DP and nuked them. The story goes that some new guy joined the team and decided to do them, and they released them, but then it turned out that he didn't actually know Japanese and was machine translating his way through as a crutch. They deleted those subs after finding out. You can still find them, though, since the torrent links still exist and then end up in some fansub batches.

They did a couple early DP episodes back when the show was new, but the translator turned out to be a larping retard that didn't know nip, so the translations were really bad. The releases got deleted from their tracker, but some other morons included them in some big third party batch torrents despite that.
It was like 5 episodes or so, I have no idea where the idea of it being the entire first half came from.

The only thing wrong with them is that they never finished the backlog. They did the first 46 Indigo League episodes, then episodes 65 and 66 of Indigo League, then a few random Johto episodes, the first 11 AG episodes, the last 13 AG episodes, and then a smattering of DP episodes before episode 94. Starting at DP094, they subbed everything until somewhere in the 40s or so of SM. Their quality is top-tier, but that also meant that they weren't just shitting out subs.

Sea of Serenity are the only sub group that has covered vast portions of the anime. As of now they are the only option for what, a few hundred episodes? I dunno the exact number but it's a lot.

If you know of any alternatives then by all means share them with the class.

Because the tranny subs cover territory that PM didn't get to, so people are stuck with them. Ideally, someone could just softsub retypeset the Indigo episodes PM did cover with very minor tweaks and then just continue where they left off for the other 30-something Indigo episodes. The result would be objectively better than this shit.

"Muh uniformity." Hilariously, this tranny is going to single-handedly fuck up the perception of the Japanese original because you'll have clueless viewers thinking they're getting the inside scoop while actually getting a translation worse than had you asked ChatGPT to do it for you. And since it's "more recent," you'll have people wrongly believing these subs must be more accurate than PM's older subs, when the exact opposite will be the case.

That's not counting movies and specials, also not fully covered. We're looking at roughly 96/560 episodes done by PM before DP094 or about 464 episodes that never got English subs.

I mean uniformity in the sense that "the whole* anime has the same style of subs." Nobody actually cares about this, though. For as iffy as they can be, I wish Some-Stuffs had decided to stop subbing new episodes after the original anime ended instead of doing Horizons. They're the only group that had built up any credibility after PM that would've been trusted to not shit the bed on the backlog.

I'd like to thank the anons in this thread for the information over the last few days. I've collected all the subs I could, including SOSSubs, to cover as much of the show as I could, and always prioritized newer subs because I assumed they were better because they could use the older ones for reference. So I had all the PM subs for Kanto moved into a folder called "Old Subs" while giving pride of place to SOSSubs. I now realize this was a mistake and I'm now moving PM back into its proper place. I also want to confess that I once was discussing a line of dialogue from the Manaphy movie with a friend and used the SOSSubs line as authoritative over PM's translation of the same line, assuming PM had mistranslated the line. Pls forgive.

The real damage will happen with Johto and Hoenn, since those were so sparsely subbed. With Indigo League, fucking Dogasu's old autism, where he compared the dub to the original for many of those episodes, serves as a counterbalance in pieces. But I don't know if anyone subbed the Indigo Pokémon League itself before the tranny. Same for the Johto League or the Hoenn League. DP is a great series so that's going to be very unfortunate when the first half is only available in shitty form. The fucking dubtitle DP subs might somehow remain preferable.

I think it was when Jackey was talking to Ash about separating Manaphy from May. It's about 57 minutes into the movie. PM has "I want you to separate Haruka and Manaphy" and SOSSubs has "I want to separate Haruka and Manaphy." So it boils down to whether Jackey was trying to get Ash to do it, and thus trying to get Ash to do something that would hurt his own friend, or whether Jackey was telling Ash what he himself was going to do, without making Ash do it.

Dogasu's autism is pretty annoying but his translations seem pretty okay when he attempts to render Japanese dialogue into English.

I remember he also went through a phase years ago of "I have my own romanizations for the Japanese Pokemon names that might differ from the '''official''' ones :^)" but at least he eventually moved past that since it would've been over a decade ago by now. And from what I remember any differences in romanization on his site weren't nearly as extreme as how SOS renders many names.

It wasn't until late gen 6 that the full list of official romanizations became properly available, prior to that there was a lot of guessing and personal preference going around. The official romanizations were also used a LOT less on merch than they are now. Newfags need to stop judging old shit by current standards.

Okay, for what it's worth it WAS around Gen 6-ish that I'm talking about here re: Dogasu; even at the time it did feel a little weird to me because I think the official romanizations were available online then. It's not like I'm bitching about his pages from like 2000 or whatever using outdated terms, and as I said, he still does it now so it's apparently just kind of a personal preference thing for him.

That said I'm not really bashing Dogasu here about this so much as it seems a little odd to me. The alternate names he uses are much more reasonable than the ones used in the fansubs.

The only possible first step is if you show an effort to actually provide better subs. And not just talking about it but actually encoding it into RAWS and then providing it.

This thread is just beating a dead horse as far as things go they currently are. But feel free to prove me wrong by actually doing something that doesn't just require a few posts and hoping to not get censored.

They weren't, I remember laughing at Bulbapedo for their dumb shit like "Gekogahshier". It was guesswork, preferences and discovering actual official spellings one by one via merch, and the official spellings were so rarely used on anything official that they were more trivia than anything.

It's not like today, where Somestuffs look like dumbasses for insisting on "Welcamo" when there's like 50 different bits of merch with "WELKAMO" written on it in big letters.

Hayashibara isn't as vocal and defensive about it.
Rica had a track record of other bullshit already even if we pointedly ignore the accusation of embezzlement of the bat virus funds. There are leaked documents about her strained relationship with Ohtani, which is bad considering they voiced a duo and is bad enough that it got written down in confidental docs. Her response in regards to the leaked documents was crap because she glazed over it instead of making sure she is aware of what was leaked.

And again, having that attitude while voicing a kid with a open attitude isn't the best look for her and Pokemon. Hayashibara doesn't get as much shit because she voiced a literal joke of a criminal, which is ironic considering that Rica arguably caused more damage than the fictional characters to her name.

What's funny is that you're completely right. Months after the fact, I got curious and decided to search the most "salacious" of the quotes from those dumb files, in the original Japanese, to see all the discussion that must've gone on about them in Japan when they dropped. Only there was nothing. Material that was treated as "bombshells" in westfag spaces yielded barely any results, and those results that did appear were two or three mentions on 2chan or a similar site. Zero news articles on Japanese gaming sites, basically no Japanese Xitter discussion, nothing. It was a non-story that nobody gave a shit about, if they even believed it to be real in the first place.

That's not what happened. Someone tweeted at her, without mentioning documents, about rumors about friction between her and Ikue Otani, and she said the rumors were bullshit.
>Guess Erika Yoshida, Kotaro Uchikoshi, Hideki Kamiya, and all those other Japanese creators who openly shared leftist or non-right views aren't real people anymore.
Yep, sounds like they aren't. Glad we agree.

That's not what I said, faggot. I said the person who tweeted at her didn't mention the documents to her, not that they themselves didn't get the rumors from the documents. The got the rumor from the documents, asked Rica about the rumor, and Rica said the rumor was untrue. You're the only one saying "Aha! But she responded in the first place, which means the rumors she denied must be true!" Please seek help.

I'm done being quiet about it. Goh is my fucking nigga and I loved when he would catch Pokémon. I loved seeing the research park get bigger. I loved seeing his Pokémon form a community and have unique relationships with each other. I loved when he'd fail to catch certain mons, adding uncertainty to his attempts. Having a dexnigga as a main character was fucking fun and too many people whined about it.

Where do you think they got the information? Virtually anyone else but the people they can directly talk to? I find the mental gymnastics about this both funny but appalling but by insisting they get the ideas of rumors from anyone else rather than talking to their business partners just paints the idea that they're shit at communication, which was the whole point of the documents talking about the anime to stay up-to-date with each other.

Do you not realize you're painting a retarded picture of both the Pokemon company and yourself? Just say that you're wrong, man. A voice actress getting shit for acting like a dick is the lesser evil than two companies failing to do the thing they are meeting up for.

Meds. You were the one who claimed that Japanese people didn't hear of the leaks and now you're going on mental gymnastics about it. Point is, they heard of them and that's why she was asked about it in the first place, whether they believed the docs or not doesn't mean shit.

This is the anime's biggest mistake. Heracross is cool, he could've been amazing against Chuck since he's all about manly head to head fighting.

I don't know. Getting pissed off about foreign language signs in a city catering to tourists- FOREIGN tourists seems stupid and a (you) problem. They spend money, lots of it, then leave so no need to grumble unless they act like total asses. Osaka is also not like Barcelona. It is a huge city with wide roads. If anywhere has the infrastructure to cope with a mass influx of tourism, it is Osaka.

Decided to look it up as well.

Parco Osaka is right in Shinsaibashi Osaka, that is smack ban in the middle of the tourist area right next to Dotonbori- which was developed as a tourist area since it's inception. This is an area where you can see as many white people, sometimes more, than black haired Japanese.

Ironically enough, the building Rica was at is next to the Osaka Pokemon Centre which is an even bigger magnet for gaijin.

How did his personal vices effect anyone where? And half the fanbase are pokefuckers, so even if he was one, he hardly stands out in that regard.
>bad ratings
The original run of Minky Momo was a critical hit. The toy company that sponsored the show was teetering towards bankruptcy, though, which is why they were about to pull their funding. Once funding got sorted out, Minky Momo pumped out several OVAs and had a second TV run. Would've had a third had Shudo not died.

I’d say they wanted to sell that it was hard to become a Pokemon Master/Champion, which is funny because you do that in every pokemon game more or less easily, which is why he’s had negative plot armor and we’ve seen him lose in the Pokemon league.
Seeing him from his lazy training days and snarky attitude in the OS to how competent he was in DP felt like natural progression to people who look back when they’re adults, so people really wanted to see him win.

Do you see other anime adaptation of a video game has run for over 20 years? Most video game adaptations end after one season, with some, like MegaMan Net Warriors, lasting up to six seasons.

The Pokémon anime was planned for one season but extended to 26 years due to the popularity of Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket. Neither TPC nor Game Freak are obligated to produce a continuous anime when they could create shorts like Pokétoon.

Therefore the anime wouldn’t be better if it changed protagonists every season, as the core characters drove its longevity. Only Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh fans push for Pokémon to change its main character, believing all anime should follow their model.

Yet Scizor and Gallade are overlooked despite sharing similar traits and aura-farming. Even Ceruledge failed to reach Greninja's popularity.

Why did Greninja succeed while others failed? Answer: Greninja was Ash's special Pokémon, just as Pikachu remains iconic as Ash's starter, despite Nintendo releasing cuter electric mouse Pokémon. I bet if Ceruledge was Ash's Pokémon, it would have become as popular as Greninja.

I am the first reply and you're completely missing the point. The schizoid is constantly dragging other franchises into the discussion out of nowhere to scream how it's bad (while weirdly accusing anyone to be a Yu-Gi-Oh or Digimon fan unprompted), pointedly ignoring that Pokemon itself had new protagonists in virtually every other media they've published and literally nobody had a problem with it mixing them up every gen, both not getting the point while simultaneously highlighting the issue by being so unaware of keeping a stale figureface.

The anime is just following suit after a long while. If Pokemon has those examples then dragging other IPs into it just muddies the water.

So, XY comes across as him intentionally trying to not make the same mistakes and be more focused.

It's not so much regression, aside from BW where Ash is uncharacteristically retarded. It's more like they started re-inventing the show (and, by extension, Ash) every few years. Whereas OS-DP maintained a certain sense of continuity, it became far looser and more sporadic after that. It feels like references to older seasons are made for the sake of the audience, not the characters.
Ash keeps his basic character traits, but different series emphasize and de-emphasize certain ones to fit whatever direction they take the story in. It feels like they were only keeping Ash around to avoid the risk of starting from scratch with a character who has different motivations and goals.

>It feels like they were only keeping Ash around to avoid the risk of starting from scratch with a character who has different motivations and goals.
Which turned out to be the right decision considering how poorly written Alain, Goh, Liko and Roy turned out to be.

Hm... How amusing, the first 2 seasons of the Ashnime predicted the future:
>Ancient-Alakazam vs Ancient-Gengar vs Ancient-Jigglypuff episode double-predicted G-Max and Paradoxmons
>Crystal Onyx episode predicted Terastallization
So based on this, I wouldn't be surprised that GF would implement Petoneiric Forms or something. Talking about that Mismagius ep from Diamond and Pearl season.

Capsule monsters were originally supposed to be kaiju so thats all just a callback.

The chuuni executive sabotaged those characters because he didn't want them being better than his OC Ash

These Pokemon were actually called "Super Ancient Pokemon", the term GF themselves would repurpose for the gen 3 box legendaries.

Even if the MC was 20 he'd still be a fightsexual autist and oblivious to girls' advances.

This. You can't trust Japanese authors to commit to actual romance, not even the ones who write that kind of stuff. They'll do anything but commit to the actual relatioship.

So what do you think will be the next callback? We had: *Mega*evos, Z(etta)-moves, *Giga*ntamax and for now *Tera*stallization.

Pokemon would have been better off if they let 4Kids write the show and translated it from English to Japanese.

They really must have had money troubles during A Tyrogue Full of Trouble. The animation quality is really poor in this episode.

SM would've been better if Lana was a main character and adventuring with Chicken Chan.

None of those are callbacks. They're just bad ideas.
