Thank you for that explanation. It certainly explains why I can't seem to find any official subtitles, and it also means that I myself and hopefully anyone else who's curious won't have to worry about pursuing an option that doesn't even exist.

But what about fan-made subs? I know they exist for episodes such as the two I mentioned earlier, for that's how I saw them, and I'm under the impression they also exist in some form for some episodes and movies (if any of the Pokemon reviews performed here are any indication: Animenia). But is there any simple way to track them down or know which episodes, specials, and movies have English subs and can be viewed online, such as a specific phrase to type into a search engine or a specific website that keeps track of what I'm asking about? The closest I think I've come is that I remember reading somewhere that there is a site where at least a significant number of episodes are available in a raw, unsubbed format, but at the time, I didn't have the foresight to make a note of the site in question or even where I read that comment. That was a mistake on my part. But if you or really anyone know the answers I'm looking for and/or can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.
