    Has anyone else but me wondered how the Pokemon staff are able to make 52 episodes a year? It is so much.  The other animated programs, except for Yu-gi-oh come no were near that amount a year.

    Each VA can dub one episode in about 6-8 hours which means they could do about 4 non-stop (but they don't). That means they probably dub 10-20 episode a month. 52 a year isn't hard for them

    That's when they change the Japanese voices to our English voices. ShadowRanger, I think Dragela was talking about the writers making the episodes, not dubbing them

    He said make an episode, that includes writing, drawing it out, scripting, adding voices and music

    Ok, then I would say that there are multiple episodes being animated at once

    True, but just about all the WB voice actors do voices for other Kids WB shows. Many of them are in 4 or 5. They must live in that recording room...

    That means they could dub one episode per week, and in the summer when there aren't many new eps, they have plenty of time to get ahead
