Pokémon TV's sub-titles need to be human-checked
These recent Sinnoh uploads on the Pokémon TV YouTube channel have some truly bizarre sub-titles, especially on proper nouns. In the past two episodes (Dawn's Early Night!) Dawn is Don, Piplup is Pipop, Wobbuffet is Wow Bathe, Cacnea is Kacneia or Cacia, Mime Jr. was "Fine, Junior". Sandshrew was "Sandrew" and Turtwig turned into… well… "turn" or "Tig" and worst of all, "church wing". Twerps is consistently mis-subtitled like "torps" or even "point". "Pika Pika" turned into "bigger". Mira was consistently sub-titled to "Mera".

Glory Blaze! uploaded today has normal-quality sub-titles that I'd expect from Pokémon. Good!
Though Tag! We're It…! uploaded yesterday is still weird ("Chimy Jar" or "Chipchar" for Chimchar, "serve" instead of "Surf", "Brideon" instead of "Rhydon" for a few examples from a couple of minutes)2 -
sigh
Back to weird sub-titles in the next episode to end the season (Smells Like Team Spirit!), like "Krovia" or "Roger" or "Crowunk" the Croagunk. And "Electabus" the Electabuzz. Of course, "Weasel" the Buizel. Not just Pokémon proper nouns. "Action Pole" is "Ash and Paul". "Soothe Bell" became "suit now". :(

It's not great for Pokémon's branding for this to be the official sub-titles on their product.
And it's a weird experience both for hard-of-hearing people, people who aren't in an area where they can listen to audio, and people like me who want to take screen captures with the dialogue on the screen.
