dub question

[thunderblade12]

i was wondering why the pokeball on ashs badge case was changed to a rectangle in the dub

Much like the exact number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know. It was an edit commissioned by Kids' WB, if I'm not mistaken, because the edit didn't appear in the Canadian broadcasts of the show.

I wish someone from WB would explain why, since the same symbol is on May's bandanna

Someone on another forum pointed out that the symbol on Ash's badge case is the same design that's on his undershirt. (See Whiscash & Ash, Hoenn Alone for examples). I don't know if that's the reason or not, but it would make sense, in a bizarre sort of way.
