Honestly, my problem with the Pokemon dub is NOT the acting. Everyone goes straight for the acting, but if they VAs were really as bad as everyone says they are, they wouldn’t have their jobs.
I can’t tell you how much of a mood kill it was watching the dub of XY&Z, seeing my girl Sarah KILL IT in battles and stuff, and there’s this whole major build-up to the Ash-Greninja fusion!
And “Stand Tall” starts playing.
Or during Serena’s performances, they just played some generic background music that they would play in a bunch of other scenarios.
It’s just kind of disappointing seeing some amazing dub work being done, but the music going along with it just kills the mood.
