I couldn't find any subtitles for a few (11) episodes from Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation, so I ripped the closed captions from English-language DVDs (downloaded from this torrent: https://nyaa.si/view/625112) and re-timed them to fit the raws (from this torrent: https://nyaa.si/view/935551). I'm a total noob at this, so don't expect it to be perfect. These are NOT TRUE SUBTITLES. They are closed captions from the English dub, and as such contain quite a few semantic differences from the actual spoken Japanese. In my humble opinion, the dub's adaptation is lamer in most respects, though also sometimes funnier. The OP and ED songs, which are completely different in the Japanese version, are unsubbed. *** My hope is that someone with the required time and skills will use these as the basis for real subtitles, since much of the work has already been done. *** The episodes included are 167 to 179, minus 171 & 172 (which have already been nicely subbed by the Pocket Monsters fansub group).

this is one of the few parts i will stomach dubtitles through instead of just watching the dub. the new tpci dub cast initially premiered here and they took quite a bit to get properly into the roles (i think they did a decent job in dp for example) thanks for the hard work

Thank you, ap1234! I wasn't really expecting anyone to care about my work, to be honest... I'm happy someone does. :) I'm not a fan of anime dubs in general (albeit not a hater either), but I find the Pokémon dubs to be exceptionally annoying. I haven't tried later seasons though, so I might well end up agreeing with you about them. By the way, the Pocket Monsters batch torrent you uploaded is amazing.

I will probably do the same for the rest of Advanced Generation episodes for which fansubs aren't available, whenever I discover more of them (I now know that many early episodes, from 18 to 92, haven't been subbed). However, it's going to take me a while, since I'm pretty busy these days. These episodes were essentially a test to assess my own ability to accomplish the work and gauge interest.
