Pokémon Uncut

Pokémon Uncut is a special release of the Pokémon anime in Western territories. It is an uncut, uncensored version of the series, aimed at older fans; yet, the series remains largely family-friendly due to the fact that it was aimed at children in its original Japanese format. The dub was created in an effort to compete with similar uncensored revivals of 1990s anime series aimed at children, such as the uncensored dubs and re-cuts of Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon.
Pokémon Uncut was first released on Netflix in 2019, with the redubbed version of Pokémon - I Choose You! Originally, the dub was only released in the United States and Canada, with English and Japanese audio and English, French and Spanish subtitles; however, due to its success, additional dubs and subtitles were released around the world. An uncensored version of Mewtwo Strikes Back is currently in the works.
==Similarities to and differences from previous dubs==
*Most of the 4Kids Entertainment voice actors return to reprise their roles as major characters, such as Veronica Taylor as Ash and Rachel Lillis as Misty, in contrast to the TPCi voice actors continuing to voice the censored dub on Disney XD. Side characters are voiced by renowned anime voice actors.
*The opening and ending themes are replaced with English translations of the original Japanese OP and ED. The opening theme is "Be a Pokémon Master!", sung by Veronica Taylor (translated from めざせポケモンマスター , Mezase Pokémon Master), while the ending theme is "151", sung by Stuart Zagnit (translated from ひゃくごじゅういち, Hyakugojūichi).
* All main characters and Pokémon retain their English dubbed names, including Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie, James and others. All characters who appear in the games use their English translated names (i.e. Prima is retranslated as Lorelei), while bit characters retain their Japanese names (Melanie is retained as Midori). This carries over to the subtitles for the Japanese dialogue.
* All non-speaking Pokémon retain their Japanese voices, like in the video game Pokkén Tournament and various other Pokémon media; this results in many Pokémon saying their Japanese names while human characters refer to them by their English names.
* All background music is retained from the Japanese version.
* Dialogue is retranslated to be faithful to the original Japanese, with no censorship and with some added wordplay in English to make for a more entertaining and creative translation. This results in many adult "parental bonus" jokes being retained, as well as infrequent mild language. Some elements are retained from the original 4Kids dub, such as Team Rocket's motto and catchphrases.
* The episodes "Cyber Soldier Porygon" and "Holiday Hi-Jynx" are omitted from the series. However, "The Legend of Dratini" is retained.
* Professor Oak's Pokémon senryu lectures are retained at the ends of episodes.
==English episode titles==
The episode titles for the English dub are a combination of translated Japanese titles and the original 4Kids episode titles, with new translations where appropriate.
