Most of the dub music sounds just fine to me.
Most of the dub music to me sound like they put zero effort into it. At least 4kids' dub music has a generic-yet-cool vibe to it.

they don't know what us fans want. -_-
4kids did a good job with BGM.... I watched the 4kids Dub they made a few weeks back and the music was pretty good.... I'm not sure if they kept the original but if they made some of their music, it was pretty damn good. Well the 2nd volume is coming out February, so I'll find out if the BGM was from the original.

Correction: they don't care what you [think you] want, particularly in this context, because "what [you] fans want" is a completely insignificant element.
Don't be daft.
:/Figures that they'd keep all of the Japanese BGM for the Tobias episode. After all, TPCI and Tobias have a lot in common, if you get what I mean
If that is true... then we're going to be going through a massive dose of that "Dragon Spiral Tower" theme for a while. I like it, but they've over used that theme like you wouldn't believe.Seriously though, the dub BGM doesn't bother me anymore, as I usually don't watch the dubbed version of the anime. I wasn't expecting them to keep all of the BGM in the final Sinnoh League episode, though. I was certain that most of the music would be replaced as it usually is, but having it all there was a nice change of pace. I read a post on another thread where the person said something about TPCI possibly trying to test out the reaction from the fans by keeping all of the BGM in this recent episode. The person said something along the lines of "if many people liked it, they might keep all the BGM in Best Wishes (Black & White)". I don't know if it's true (nor do I care, really), but I found that interesting.
It's quite simple, I think.
Each ep of the anime, in principle, has a budget. Let's guess it's somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. Theoretically their dealing with a 3rd party (either the Japanese music producer themselves or the company that deals with the anime) and that 3rd party can and will rightly charge for the use of that work, which is in principle different to the visual images. Couple that with the fact that licensing music is an expensive and involved process anyway.
So, even if TCPi did want to use the Japanese BGM they need to be able to afford it. When they can I'm sure they save money on some filler ep's music or production and so on to afford it. It's a shame. And don't whinge about Pokemon being a multi-billion dollar franchise; it may be, but that is divided up among numerous companies and divisions n those companies that are under no obligation to allocate their money to the dubbing team of the cartoon. If the anime wants to get more money to afford better/original BGM (assuming there are not restrictive licensing problems that we're not privy to), the ratings for the cartoon need to improve so that advertisers will pay more money to advertise their products during the show's run.
as long as pokemon stays on cartoon network they will never get high ratings
they average a 1.6/10 an episode and if they went to nickelodeon
that 1.6 would be a 5.2/22
Actually I think the ratings are about to get higher now that cartoonnetwork has moved the dub air time to 9:00 am instead of 8:00 am. I think the reason that the ratings were lower was because most people are just to tired and lazy to get up at 7 or 8 in the morning lol I know I was. 9 is a much better time since more people will be awake to watch the dub thereby increasing ratings.
well i hope so but in any case Pokemon would be way better of at Nickelodeon since nick are always one the America's top rating grabbers while cartoon network is in the middle lol..
