The website's episode comparisons are arguably its most popular feature.

These usually emphasize the amount of music, dialog and paint edits made by the dubbing companies. Dogasu's opinion is usually in favor of the Japanese version.

Features

Episode comparisons

The website's episode comparisons are arguably its most popular feature. Intended for people who are unfamiliar with the Japanese version of the Pokémon anime, Dogasu's write-ups usually cover all the differences made by 4Kids and more recently TPCi in the dubbed version. These usually emphasize the amount of music, dialog and paint edits made by the dubbing companies. Dogasu's opinion is usually in favor of the Japanese version.

Episode comparisons have been completed for almost every series of the anime, with the exception of Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands and the Diamond and Pearl series. In addition, Dogasu will regularly revamp comparisons of the original series. The website also features comparisons for the movies and TV specials (such as The Legend of Thunder!), the former of which are usually updated shortly after the movie's North American premiere. Any variations on Team Rocket's motto are also included in the episode comparison they where featured in.

Recycled characters

As part of a joint effort with several members of the Bulbagarden community, the website features a list of background characters who have recurring appearances in the Pokémon anime. It is interesting to note some of these characters appearing as early as Battle Aboard the St. Anne make later appearances in episodes as recent Time Warp Heals All Wounds. Whilst a popular feature, this section of the website has not been updated recently.
