CN-India stops dubbing PAC in Hindi

[Petey]

Starting from today's Episode, US344: Balance of Power, CN-India is going to show PAC in it's US Dub. Unexpected move on the part of CN-India.

I was really shocked when I saw pokemon in ENGLISH on CN today at 5. Did they just 'forget' to dub it? Is this a fluke? Does this mean pokemon is not popular enough to dub in hindi? Thats crazy... When every single show is, wynaut Pokemon?
This may be 4KIDS doing... but they arent in charge anymore... Its PUSA!

[Petey]

LOL, yea, guess PUSA decided to stop the dub; or maybe this was just an audio error. =/

WTF was the same shockin' feeling for me at 5 pm, when after I got my TV fixed today (had color issues for a couple of months now) and was anxious to watch Pokemon back in high color today. I was going to post the same, but instead waited for the 8pm version.. which alas.. too was shown in English.

NEVER has it happened that Pokemon was aired in English at my place. For a moment I thought maybe my cable operator switched the CN version, just like South India and some other regions prefer the Engish dub due to less usage of Hindi over there... but in Mumbai!!!??! And yet again WTF!!, I then realise all the rest of the shows as well as the ads are in Hindi, EXCEPT Pokemon!!

That goes to show that something is up with the dubbing process for Pokemon now in CNIndia, is it that they think the English version is preferred over the localized version ? I don't think so, because ofcourse some of the urban viewers wud think so, but American English is NOT suitable for the most of the rural India that watches Cartoon Network. It may also occur that this particular episode wasn't dubbed or some related issue, for which we wil get answer to it on Monday, on the next episode.

And FYI, I don't know why you both are dragging PUSA in here, it has nothing to do with the dubbing, this is PAC, not PBF. AFAIK Pokemon is still being dubbed in other countries in languages like Spanish, French, German, etc.

[offtopic]This has nothing to do with the dubbing issue, but something I'd like to note that today's episode was when the 2nd intro or 2nd season (well not exactly) of the Advanced Generation in Japan began.

Really got nothing to do with the dub, but in my collection, the Japanese raws have been categorised under Season 7 from this episode onwards due to a new intro.[/offtopic]

I just hope they don't stop dubbing Pokemon in Hindi from now on, oh God.. pretty please don't.. that will be terrible Let's all pray for this..

bah, My cable Operator is giving me CN in Englsih like in South India, for over two weeks now, so, I have gotten used to watchin the english episodes again.

[Apoorv Upreti]

maybe the US dubs are more popular than the hindi dubbed ones.

I liked the Hindi Dubs! Atleast Max sounded decent!
Now my ears hurt when i hear his voice.

[Petey]

YaY! CN-India has started iring localized dubs again!!
Today's ep aired in Hindi (atleast for me)! ;D

[DP-NiSh]

YAYs!! I had stopped watching the show for that reason on CN, and knew if they'll start to air back Hindi again, it'll be posted around here ^__^ w00h00 It's so great to listen to the hindi title theme again, and May's lovely hindi voice. It's not just the language that differs when u watch an English dub, it's also the Hindi-ish style, the Indian-ness in the Pokemon show that u miss :p

I don't understand why People like CN in Hindi: especially you ~*Pearl*~ ( for that reason).
Personally I prefer it in English. On that day, the first thing I saw was Sabrina, the animated series in English. I was delighted; more so at 5 PM!

'maybe' what do you mean by 'maybe'? English dubs are 1000 times better than -

A year late reply, but mostly for some variation. :P
Even more since the English dub is no longer "the best" that I imagined it to be.
