Regarding Ted Lewis

[Sakutarou]

Why was Eric Stuart cast over Ted Lewis in the Indigo League after episode twelve? Just something that's been bugging me because I believed Ted gave James a darker feel to the character and to TR.

Because James wasn't a dark character really?

But, I do think it was a good voice....

 

[FabuVinny]

Jessie/James/Meowth are only dark until the Weedle start eating their box in episode four. Eric Stuart certainly fitted James' character since then.

 

[Zhen Lin]

Also note that Miki Shin'ichirō's characterisation of Kojiro then was not the same as it is now.

 

[Habunake]

How has it changed? Haven't seen any pre-Johto originals.

JJ&M were never serious, really.

Just look at how they looked after being zapped by Pikachu the first time.

In episode three they were defeated by a Caterpie...

 

[Sakutarou]

I think that TR was pretty serious, and until the SS Anne episode when James cross dressed thats when they took it to a whole other level, looking back at all the Indigo episodes, I perceived TR the way they are in the GBG's. I mean the voice casting was amazing, but then when Eric Stuart took over James' voice turned, how do I put this nicely, pretty homosexualy

Ted Lewis had to leave the cast for a while due to other conflicts (I think it was theater or some other artistic thing), so Eric picked it up. I guess they liked him in the role, so they kept him.

I'm not a fan of Ted's James, but I do like his other voices. Tracey, yay!

 

[Nekusagi]

Ted Lewis sucked anyway.

Excellent Giovanni, decent Tracey (though he clearly just did a variation on his Etoh for that one), but craptacular James. (IMO, he sounded like a gay British guy trying to sound French... or vice versa)

bandleader James

I liked TL better as the voice of James... it brought out the "character" in him... (too hard to explain)
