Official Pokémon Black & White Title Announcement Thread #2

[Yankees4life]

looks like CN wants to keep coming with the new eppys and why not, reruns aren't cutting it and we're close to BW2 in Japan...

[Sweenix]

Is Pokemon getting a new timeslot from June 16? (reruns)
I see BW049 and BW050 on June 16, airing at 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST (one hour) in the CN schedule.

Anyway, BW066: Baffling the Bouffalant is confirmed to air on June 16. (CN schedule)

Dunno, although there is one mega pokemon marathon on the 16th of june, they are airing every gym batttle from the Unova Region, sweet idea.

[Adyniz]

Dubbing when Japan hasn't even aired yet, TCPi?

Slow down a little.

Also, Virbank most likely comes from the Virga cloud.

[투 애니원]

So the gym's name is Virbank and I just noticed how small the gap is between each gym.

[Missingno. Master]

I was really kinda hoping the dub titles would give us Homika's English name, rather than the city in which her Gym is located...

[捷克羅姆]

Dubbing when Japan hasn't even aired yet, TCPi?

Slow down a little.

Also, Virbank most likely comes from the Virga cloud.

Considering that it is a port city, bank is likely a reference to both a sea bank and a cloud bank

[Moe]

Also, Virbank most likely comes from the Virga cloud.

I first thought of 'Burbank' in California, the place with a bunch of television studios near Hollywood.

1527 A Restoration Confrontation! (Part 1)
1528 A Restoration Confrontation! (Part 1)

Those titles aren't too bad. After all, I like a good rhyme.

1529 Evolution by Fire!

*sigh* Was that really all they could think of?

1530 Guarding the Guardian of the Mountain!
1531 Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!

Those titles are actually pretty good as well.

1532 Clash of the Connoisseurs!
1533 Crisis at Ferroseed Research
1534 An Epic Defense Force!

Those three titles are OK as well, but I really don't get why the Pokewood episode is called that.

1535 Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1)
1536 Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2)

That was a pretty subtle pun, actually. I didn't get it until just now.

[Sweenix]

Wow! tcpi must have already dubbed up to best wishes 2 already, never knew they got the show this far in advance.

[Moe]

I think it is because they need to get the bit part voice actors to have a reasonable amount of content to dub in one session, so would be working on a big pile of episodes at once (we seem to get these titles in batches of ten now) to some extent, but then actually get the final voices for the main characters closer to the time of airing as they take longer. So while they would be dubbing parts fairly far in advance, the actual episodes might not be ready until a few weeks before airing.

The situation at the end of the first Black and White season with CITV airing episodes a few weeks before the US shows there's some buffer for the episodes, but I doubt Cartoon Network could actually close up the gap with Japan much more than it has been.

[Thingamajig]

Yeah, the dub titles are probably finalised either before the script is written - or as it's being written (seeing as the episode titles are read out and thus, need to be part of the script). So there's nothing to suggest that there's a finished dub of every episode that has a title, but that's probably the batch of episodes they're dubbing (recording voices, sound mixing and (sadly) adding music for) at the moment. Nhjm probably has a source within DuArt.

[BigDocFan]

It is hard to believe that they have announced the dub titles for the final gym battle, before the Japanese airing which is happening as I post
