Although the Japanese version has the same quality lacking in terms of the simplicity of the dialogue (which, combined with users here understanding English already, is a primary reason why many dislike the dub).

I don't use subs because the block the bottom of the screen and the early ones on social media sites might make minor inaccuracies that many will usually stick with such as making misleading and inaccurate names rather than using the conventional terms such as referring to Yowashi as the "owner" of the lake and making insane terminology for the ingredients for the curry. They've been doing this ever since XY001. Also, those Spanish subs floating around for years are written by people who do not know Japanese and just make fan fiction subtitles giving misleading and incorrect guidance on what the dialogue says. If they make these crazy terms (such as "Magician's Fruit" or whatever they called it instead of Mago Berry), it's best to just ask Japanese fluent users what these mean.

Also, YouTube is a streaming site with third party uploads. In most cases, there's no live streams of the episodes as they are broadcast live which is why I have my personal methods of watching these on the get-go to catch the first airing rather than downloading them illegally. Hulu puts up the episodes hours earlier than they circulate online.

I don't prefer anime as a hugely reliable method of learning to speak real life Japanese since they say all sorts of things no one really talks like. And Bulbapedia's translations usually contain guesswork from Google Translate and other machine translators, whereas me and Adamant are the two most reliable users to talk to translation-wise (as both him and I work from preexisting fluency in the language, which is the actual proper method of translating these) and Serebii's titles from newer series have more accurate translations since they tend to come from Adamant whereas Serebii's earlier translations contain several interpretation mistakes and Serebii's translation of the episode title known as "Go West Young Meowth" in English is garbage, it says "Why Meowth Can Speak" based on the plot and the fact that the title mentions Nyarth, the title talks about the alphabet, so "Nyarth's A-I-U-E-O[/ABCs]" is much more of a translation in the first place.
