Wow. Just wow.
Well, I'm estatic at the moment. IMO 4Kids didn't alter Pokemon too much (since there isn't much anyways), and it was actually decent, since the main target audience is for kids. Seeing a new dub would be cool. Obviously the names will still be the NA names (like they're actually going to revert back to Satoshi, Kasumi, Haruka, etc.  ), but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing an unaltered Pokemon. Maybe there's a chance that the original OPs & EDs will be kept! (Yes, I am being optimistic, but whatever. ) Or, at least a translated version of the OPs & EDs.
Ultimately, we'll just have to wait and see how Pokemon USA will handle it. Last edited by Buster Blader 126 on Fri Dec 23, 2005 10:13 pm; edited 1 time in total |

This is the one thing I'm hoping comes out of all this. |

Did you know, that out of, around more than a dozen series, Pokémon was the only 4Kids show that didn't hurt them somehow? Or that chances are, it was the only reason their entertainment division wasn't completely disbanded? What else are they to profit from? Yugioh, the same Yugioh that's ending in just a couple of months and has lost most of its steam anyway? 4Kids TV, the lowest rated Saturday morning block in America? This isn't going to help 4Kids - this is going to hurt them. Big time. On the flip side, this'll probably be a major investment for Nintendo, as 4Kids will receive little to none of the profit gained off of the TCG, DVDs, TV airings, video games, etc. about a year from now, which all sell hugely. Considering that all the ties with Viz have already been established, and that the TCG and video games are pretty much unrelated to 4Kids, I doubt Nintendo will lose much by axing their relationship with them. And be honest. 4Kids was a huge factor in making Pokemon a success, I'll admit that. Nintendo isn't stupid - 4Kids must have pissed them off terribly for them to have the license taken that way. But hey, if they think they're better off without their biggest franchise, more power to them, I won't stop them. |

Agreed. I liked the job done on the Pokemon games (even though I haven't palyed the games or seen the anime in years)... Here's hoping these folks do well. Basically, if this all comes down to a release of original Japanese episodes of Pokemon (the first 2 seasons, preferably) down the road, I'll be happy. |

I found this here. It seems that 4Kids will still receive profits from the series for at least the next few years. |

if anything, this may mean that we'd finally get the japanese audio on dvds of the movies - or something. i think it's a move for the better.

True.Also the move means that there might possibly have UN-CUT versions in the near future.i'll definately would like too see that.The problem is that they may be changes in the voice actors dept and I like the current actors. |

honestly, 4kids could've saved a lot of money on pointless edits like text on signs (they get rid of english text too!) and more pointless edits i can understand guns, bloods, for kids releases, but 4kids has some of the most unreasonable edits |

Chances are, it won't matter much by the end of 2006, since Pokemon USA will probably have released a whole slew of merchandise unrelated to 4Kids.
Mike Pollock said that while 4Kids won't handle the censorship, music, scripting, etc. Nintendo will keep the original voice-overs. |

I'm not suprised or shocked but if Pokemon USA allows or releases the Uncut pokemon series, that would be great.
The problem is the banned "Porygon" episode. |

Actually, I heard the problem wasn't just the flashing. Another problem that contributed to it was the TV and the dark environment. I know I didn't cite that quite correctly. Regardless, I don't think it will be a problem since I saw a fansub of that episode and I never got any seizures or any problem during and after the episode. I watched it all on my CRT computer monitor. |
