I'm sure glad we still have the 4kids voice actors doing the dub!

[Cybersai]

With all these changes going on with this new Hoenn season, I was afraid they were going to recast the entire main character lineup! Its bad enough Misty is gone, but can you imagine if Ash, Brock and Team Rocket all get new voices?

We sure are lucky this Hoenn season is going to be dubbed by 4kids, I don't know if I could handle anything changing. Hoenn has already changed the anime so much, a VA switch on top of this will surely kill the show! I bet the anime would get canceled in 1 season if they change voices.

 

[John Understands]

Yes, yes, yes!!! Such rareness as Veronica Taylor be so amazing!!! Me wonder if someone as Veronica replacement with -splash- SARAH NATOCHENNY!!!

Dude, the voices would be SO much better than the 4Kids ones if they changed! As we all know, May will sound like a 10 year old Ash. NOBODY could do a worse job. I hope they change it all up!

That stupid Al Kahn and his Americanization! He edits out so much important stuff to Pokemon. Like riceballs and text on signs...it's so important! Screw him and his company!

 

[Cybersai]

Well we don't have to worry. Its not like 4kids would ever lose the license to dub Pokemon...that's just crazy talk.

They know the characters are brought to life by these voices, any cast changes would kill the show and everyone would stop watching! Besides I heard Veronica Taylor is going to voice May, so she's going to be doing TWO characters now.

 

[John Understands]

Me know such fury too! Wonders if Veronica if new Mel Blanc!!! But such not! 4Kids Rule! Them losing dub license, such crazy talk!

UGH. I hope 4Kids leaves and all the voice actors are replaced, personally. Anyone can do better than them. Why doesn't the Pokemon Company take over themselves? I'm sure they've done plenty of dubs, unlike 4Kids.

Who the heck is that? Nato-what? What is a Natochenny? Anyway, she HAS to be better than Veronica's girly, 10 year old Ash. He should sound tougher, gruffer, and super-masculine! THAT's who Ash is at heart!

What are you talking about? There wouldn't be riceballs in Pokemon, those are clearly donuts with a coconut coating on them. This sort of thing:

Spoiler

Seriously, that's what I assumed when I heard that donut line the first time, that it's just a Japanese style of donut

What about his stupid "eclairs" though? God...I need my food items 100% faithful. Pokemon is all about the riceballs! The kanji! The uncut nature of this children's show. It should be treated as such!

おにぎりは悪い言葉ではありません！

It's not a bad word. :]

 

[BugMite]

I'm sorry, but, uh... I just don't see how Japan changing things would affect 4Kids' way of doing things, including their voice cast.

 

[Zexy]

Like Veronica Taylor will ever let her role of Ash/May to someone else... Such things just can't happen!

 

[megaevolvedmushroom]

Sadly, she won't...I really don't want to hear her horrible voice. And then she's voicing MAY, too? Ugh.

 

[hopeandjoy]

But who would do a dub if 4kids lost the license? It's not like PUSA can do in house dubbing...

I mean, what if some rookie voice actress got the part of Ash, sucked at first, and then improved just like Veronica Taylor? We'd have to, say, save our voice actors with a petition or something! It would be horrible!

That voice actor would be as bad as Taylor was? Unthinkable.

FYI, I want my Ash to sound like Fran the Nanny when he laughs, sound like he smokes, and like's he 15! Screw Taylor's light, enthusiastic, 10 year old boy voice for a 10 year old!

it sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

I just want him to sound cool. This means heshould cut the proper talk and just talk like a normal person, ya see?

Totally. It's evolvin, man! Ya know, totally me and me here. Everything's about the trainin and layin down, right Pikachow? XD.

 

[megaevolvedmushroom]

Not really cool, butsomething I've always wanted to hear him say is "that kid reminds me of me!".

Bonus points if he's referring to someone named Daniel
...not coming out of Veronica Taylor's lips, obviously. She'd just make it sound lame.

 

[PockyAddict]

I'm glad too, I hope they never change it. I will be so mad if they do.
