Pokémon - The Origin

[JDMEK5]

when I was watching ep 2 they were horrible - sometimes, they even turned spanish..

Only for one line of Green's. But I understand/read spanish so it didn't slow me down one bit. Took it right in stride.

No but seriously I can understand general translation errors but how can you accidentally write something in the wrong language?
EDIT: I think my favorite mistranslation is "Professor Orchid".

Also, this isn't REALLY a spoiler, but just to be safe, if you don't want to see a frame from episode 4, don't open this.

OH MY GOD THAT GROWLITHE IS CHEWING ON A SUBSTITUTE DOLL

It happened twice with me - and a couple of times they were using ! or ? they had one upside-down at the beginning of the sentences There was also a brief moment some notes (you know, so that the editors can mark out certain areas) showed up and covered the screen, that they'd forgotten to remove.

I think my favorite mistranslation is "Professor Orchid".

But "Orchid" is kinda how it is pronounced in Japanese (Okido), so it's not too strange when the guy translating this only went with the Japanese names, just written in English.

This was a fun watch, kinda nostalgic. I almost want to look for my Gameboy and play Blue again.

Red got all the badges and caught all the known pokemons in four episodes.
So, Ash, what have you achieved in 700+ episodes?

Yeah, I know, it's just that I found it funny that his name went from big tree to small flowering plant

[SlowPokemon]

Actually, it went from small flowering plant to big tree, since in the original Japanese his name is Dr. Orchid, just as Jompa said

Eh I kinda forgot about this, but then I remembered that I downloaded the 4 episodes last week and I finally got around to watch them.
It was just so good. Who the fuck said "Yeah 4 episodes is enough." This should've been a series, not just a 2 hours special.
Also I never had any problems with the subs (no Spanish subs), and I think it's cool they kept the Japanese names instead of translating them.

I agree, Origins should have been a full blown series. It's everything I need in a proper Pokemon anime.

[spitllama]

Origins is more realistic, less corny, and more true to the games than the TV show is. Overall I call it a win.

[Nebbles]

And there are no cheap wins. Red won his first gym battle fair and square, unlike Ash's stupid abuse of a goddamn sprinkler system.

HOLY SHIT

[Waddle Bro]

AIM FOR THE HORN.

Man, I could write an essay on how problematic I find the anime.
