Now, I know the Pokémon Company isn't that petty in this regard but man I would have totally done that, re-introducing Brock's mom, just to spite 4Kids - ThreadSky

apparently there's more and more differences as the show goes on which I'm super curious about, if I watched JP pokeani I would've gotten into pokemon way sooner

There's an episode where Ash catches 30 Tauros by accident that never aired outside of Japan so every time he goes to the ranch in Pallet Town there are 30 Tauros there and if you weren't internet savvy you would have no idea why

It was only depicted in kid books over here, lol.

The shot created a massive hole in the entire anime and maybe led to the anime never doing a Safari Zone episode, again.

Even today, kids' shows aren't allowed to have guns with visible bullets.

what the fuck

ducktornald.bsky.social•2 days ago

No, it's true, 4Kids didn't dub the Safari Zone episode where Ash catches 30 Tauros, so to an international audience that used the 4kids version as the base of their dubs Ash just suddenly had a Tauros in his team

am I going to learn more about how the 4kids dub basically changed up the entire show

somerandomwill.bsky.social•2 days ago

Generally, yeah.

Giggling and kicking my feet in the air because you don't know the ancient texts

Iirc the bulk of the reason for skipping this one was the safari zone guy’s gun?

I’m sure some other shit went down too though because by the time of the YGO dub 4kids had figured out how to deal with guns

(That is to say, “poorly”)

oceanblue-art.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's because the episode had people using guns in it

ducktornald.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah but that's not an excuse when they have cut scenes for less or turned the guns into fingers or redraw the whole arm of the character

As a kid I just figured I missed an episode since I didn’t watch Pokémon as religiously as I did Yu-Gi-Oh
