Um, songohan619, don't you find it redundant to edit your post to put my post in it, except that my post is right under your post? Because I do. But you can do whatever, because I won't mind too much.

Pokemon changes title every season, what if Dragon Ball changed title every story arc? Like... Pokemon Johto was after Pokemon, and so on...

Lesseeeee....


Dragon Ball! (Dragon Ball Arc)
Dragon Ball Budokai Battles! (21st Tenkaichi Budoukai arc)
Dragon Ball Red Ribbon Army Attack! (Guess which arc this is!)
Dragon Ball Budokai League Battles! (Uranai Baba to 22nd Budoukai)
Dragon Ball Kami (Piccolo arcs)
Dragon Ball Generations! (Saiyan arc)
Dragon Ball Generation Namek! (Duh I dunno)
Dragon Ball The Orange Garlic Islands.
Dragon Ball Cyber Generation! (Illegal dog fighting arc?)
Dragon Ball Budokai League Generations! (Other World Budoukai to the start of the Boo arc)
Dragon Ball New Generation! (Majin Boo arc)
Dragon Ball Grand Tour! (All of GT rolled up into one series, just like Dragon Ball GT!)

Basically lots of generic titles following the main series title.

The original 1995 release opening theme would fit very well as the first opening... also, I'd make them so chock full of filler that the first series is mostly just Bulma and Goku etc on their journey being followed by the evil Team Pilaf and foiling their plans to capture Pika- I mean the Dragon Balls, it would go from around 10 episodes to about 50 or 60!

Also, I'd make it so Pilaf, Mai and Shu ended up following them everywhere, even to Namek, which is what should have originally happened!

Technically, it does. The Japanese version of Pokémon isn't broken up into as many pieces.

Pokémon -> Pokémon Advanced Generation -> Pokémon Diamond and Pearl -> Pokémon Best Wishes!
Dragon Ball -> Dragon Ball Z -> Dragon Ball GT -> Dragon Ball Kai

DragonBall Z
-Attack of the Saiyans (1-35)
-Adventures on Namek (36-74)
-Goku vs Freeza! The Awakening of a Super Saiyan (75-107)

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

Every second arc would have to contain "battle" or "battles" somewhere in its title.
