Hello,

I really don't want to get in trouble for this, or start a SOVA vs SONVA war...so I will not feel bad if you choose to delete this thread...but I found this letter in the Veronica Taylor guest book (on her official website)...it's probably a false rumor but here it is:

by RYAN MORRIS:

"
I heard from one of my friends that you were returning to Pokemon, and we'll hear your voice once again as Ash... I couldn't believe it, so I asked him where he got from. He told me that he knew somebody else whose uncle works for DuArt, the company that produces the show. So I got to talk to this guy (his name is Adam W BTW) myself and he confirmed that Veronica Taylor was called in by DuArt a few weeks ago to start working on Pokemon once again. And we'll most likely hear her on the show once again in September.

CONGRATULATIONS VERONICA!!!!

You REALLY REALLY deserve this. It will be so refreshing to hear your voice once again after two long years. It doesn't even seem like the new girl is even trying. It is also a shame they chose to replace you in the first place. But it is good to know that I'll hear your voice once more. Plus I hope to hear you as May as well in the next dozen episodes. Take care!

what do you think??
 
Honestly, that sounds so fake just by looking at it.

They are not going to fire Sarah, this is fake.
 
I find it hard to believe this is true; no way they'll fire someone mid-season.

As a role other than Ash in BD possibly, but not as the main character again.
 
Personally, I would love to see the old voice actors working side by side with the newer ones. It would add a ton of variety.

But there's no chance in hell that the older actors would reprise their former roles. Side characters are fine though.
 
If this is real, I also expect it means she will be voicing a minor character. We already have other 4Kids VAs returning. I was not expecting the major names to be hooked, though.
 
*sigh*

Well, I knew about this before it was posted here. But because of potential flamewars, I don't like posting VA rumors....

Anyway, I've seen the message on Veronica's guestbook. That's how I found out about this. I even emailed Veronica, to see what she says about this. I haven't received a reply yet. But I believe she will reply back to me, as I've exchanged many emails with Veronica in the past.

Something tells me this is fake. But, we'll see. There is a good chance this could be true. And as Veronica's biggest fan, I'm being optimistic about this. I'd love for her to come back and do Ash's voice again! That would be so awesome! ^_^


By the way, is anyone else worried about D/P 74? That episode is very emotional and dramatic, so I'm concerned about how Sarah will do. I'm not sure if she'll be able to put THAT much emotion into Ash (I've seen the Japanese version of this episode, so I know that Rica put a ton of emotion into Satoshi). But anyway, we'll see what happens when the dub reaches D/P 74. Hopefully, Sarah will do a good job, and I won't be disappointed with her performance (I REALLY don't wanna see that episode get ruined).

Sorry to burst everyones bubble, but that original post looks 99% fake: "I heard from my friends uncle..."

And if that 1% comes true, it's probably gonna be some random filler character instead of Ash.

And yes, Veronica > Sarah. But I'm kinda used to Sarah's voice by now so I'm not bothered with it anymore.
 
I think it's fake aswell unless she ot a side role. Sarah hasn't even mentioned about losing Ash on her myspace. Her myspace still says she's still doing Ash and she also had logged in only 2 days ago just to add. You'd think Sarah would have updated nd said what was happening by now since this guy claims Veronica was contacted a few weeks ago. So if Veronica did infact get a role it's a very high chance it's a side role.

They wouldn't chuck Sarah out of the Ash role without telling her would they?=/

Though The whole my friends uncle thing really makes me think it's possibly fake since I've seen that used quite a number of times with other things and most have been fake. Though I can see a possibitlity for it being a side role if this happens to be somewhat true.
Though I'd rather hear from Veronica herself.

^ I'm hoping for that just as I'm hoping for Veronica returning to do Ash.

I'm used to Sarah by now, even though Veronica is clearly the easy winner between the two.

It's May's voice that has me cringing that I simply had to stop watching the dub of Battle Frontier... Michele Knotz makes May's voice so weak and whispy that it's just really really amateurish compared to her other voices.
 
If this is true, I doubt she will return as a major character. She may do some minor character stuff and it would be great to see her do May (it is a cameo after all). What I hope is that she will work with Sarah on Ash's voice. That would probably be the best thing to do.
 
Veronica is the better Ash - I don't feel like starting a debate, but I really can't go into watch the new episodes with that awful Ash.

It's not that I have "nostalgia" either as I think some of the new VA's are pretty well suited. For example, I'm running through the box set of Indigo, and I think the new Meowth sounds just like the original one...though I love Maddie I can accept both voices.

Sarah, ugh, just not right.
 
I'd love Veronica to voice Ash really soon, but it's not going to happen. We have a better chance for a side character or at the end of the season...
 
I wish that were true, I really, really wish that were true, although I doubt it. I have a hard time believing that this Ryan person's best friend knows something that we don't.

However, one thing I did find interesting was the article in the Washington Post a few weeks back that quotes Veronica (it's on the second page). The author refers to her as, "a voice well known to fans of Pokemon". I know it's probably just me, but the ambiguity of that statement just seemed odd if she hasn't done a voice on the show in several years and there's nothing to say she ever will again.
 
...uh how is she NOT a voice well known to fans of Pokemon? You act as though just because she is currently not dubbing the show that her voice doesn't live on for EIGHT seasons of the show as well as reruns, and DVD re-releases of old shows - I'd say that article is fairy written, and titled.

So 2 years is now "several years"?...
 
Uh, Veronica was Ash's voice during Pokemon's hayday. Do you know how many people refer to certain anime voices as an "Ash voice" when describing them? That's because Veronica's was so distinctive and well known. Whenever someone heard that voice, they immediately thought of Ash. They knew who it was.

Veronica is by far more well known than Sarah when it comes to Ash's voice. Don't even kid yourself by denying it.
 
If Veronica Taylor (because we're not on a first-name-only basis here, people) comes back, it'll be for some minor character. Not Ash. Because PUSA already has that role cast.

Same with May.
