Favorite/Least Favorite Voices

[Jimmy 3 People 0]

Simple enough idea for a topic. Give us some voices you like and voices you... well, don't.

Personally, I prefer Ash's newer voice to his 4Kids one, because it kinda sounds like he's going through puberty. (He looks older, he is older, dammit! Ain't no narrators can tell me what to believe!) And while she is my waifu, Flannery's voice was... underwhelming. I found it too nasally; I'd imagine she'd sound like, say, the female protagonist of Tony Hawk's Underground... yes, I did play Story Mode as her.

Least favorite for me goes to Iris, without question. So high-pitched, irritating, and obnoxious, all rolled into one painful, ear-splitting package. As if she wasn't annoying enough.

I also don't like Max's new voice. His older one was better, as it sounds like a kid of his age. The newer one is too deep.

I do like Serena's voice. It seems just the right tone for her, not too high, not too deep, and seems age appropriate to her.

While Clemont's seems a bit deep at times, it does fit the bill. Kinda fits the nerdy, techno-head type that he is.

And, like you, Ash's current voice does sound better than his 4Kids voice, though it did take some getting used to at first (especially late AG/early DP). It does sound like he's maturing, which, considering how long he's been around, would be accurate at this point and time (yes, I'm well aware that the characters are forever trapped in an age time-loop, but just saying).

Same applies to May. While I liked her old voice just as well, an the newer one did take a little getting used to, it did sound like she was maturing and growing, so it works.
