The article would have been ten times better if the author had addressed these "points of uncertainty" about WPM's report rather than simply referring to them and then going into an emotional rant about how SOVA will never quit.

They cannot be addressed because SOVA's only evidence is from old posts and e-mails from 4Kids, with nothing from PUSA. If they only use evidence from one side of the coin, they can basically prove whatever they want.

How many of you, despite your complaints about the Johto anime season, sat through it and watched every episode? How many of you, despite saying Hey You, Pikachu! was a waste of money, bought the game when it came out and played it through completely? And, just to use an example from the Bulbacast discussion itself— if they spun May off and gave her a cheesy, fluffy, eye-candy filler-stuffed shōjo series, how many of you would watch every episode of it, even if you hated May?

Yet, now we're complaining about VA changes which can't be helped? And saying we won't watch it because of new voices? Anyone see the hypocrisy?

I would like to know what inspired this:

There's a reason Pokémon is ridiculed as a massive marketing scheme, and it's not because making gobs of money was Satoshi Tajiri's original vision.

Though clearly not intended, this statement has proven to be more and more valid throughout the years. It is a pity that only few realize what it is that Satoshi Tajiri really contributes to the development of games these days.

I believe that Pie was making a distinction between the inherent characteristics of a Pokémon product - the "nucleus" - and the "wrapping". To some, the character voices constitute as the nucleus without which the product is, essentially, not Pokémon.

This, of course, is an opinion which does not appear to be shared by most. While I personally find it hard to accept from a logical perspective, I can certainly tell that it is anything but hypocrisy.

What does he do for the games nowadays? Is he just a programmer?

 

[Habunake]

I think he just oversees the general production, probably just looks over everything and stuff.

I believe Sugimori and Matsuda do most of the work.

Since Crystal, he has only been labelled as the Executive Director, which I believe speaks for itself. Programming is one chore he has not touched in more than six years.
