Remember watching Pokemon? The show you loved is no longer the same! - 12-10-08

Fans of the Pokemon anime, English dub, the original voice actors were wrongfully replaced in 2006, when Pokemon USA didn't give them a chance to work on the show. And now, the show is no longer the same because the characters themselves have been changed!

But there is something you can do! Please sign our petition, and help Veronica Taylor, Rachael Lillis, and Eric Stuart! Help them return to Pokemon and regain their original roles!!

Make your voice heard!

(Friend Codes staff, if this thread would get more attention in the "Wifi Games -> Pokemon" section, then please move it - I want this thread to get as much attention as possible)

EDIT: I've added a poll! Please cast your vote, everyone! :)

i have to agree though i was never really used to the english dub.
I still felt it was alot better then the new Diamond and Pearl voice over. Because now 4kids owns it.. Or the CW now.

Re: Remember watching Pokemon? The show you loved is no longer the same! - 12-10-08

Actually, Cartoon Network airs the show in the US....

Anyway, back in 2006, 4Kids lost their licensing rights to Pokemon USA. Therefore, Pokemon USA were the ones who made the terrible decision to replace ALL the original voice actors.

If you go here, you can find out which of the 4Kids VAs have returned to do minor roles on the show. Save Our Voice Actors - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

The good news is that recently, Ted Lewis returned to Pokemon, and he has regained his original role as Giovanni - which means, there is NOTHING preventing the original voice actors from returning to the show. Pokemon fans, together, we can voice our concerns to Pokemon USA and DuArt! Together, we WILL get the original voice actors back! ^_^

No. The show was destroyed about 7 years ago. Anything else is just overkill. :/

I know this person'll sign it though.

Re: Remember watching Pokemon? The show you loved is no longer the same! - 12-10-08

It is because of things like this I downloaded the entire first season of Pokemon. I miss my childhood memories, so I am going to immortalize them on DVD/Blu Ray...for free. Whoever decided to try and rob me of my childhood can go blow themselves, if they want to screw me around then I'll find illegit ways to get my memories back.

I got my torrent for this off of mini nova, if you guys want it =]

Hi Chaoszero! ^^

Did you sign the petition? Because we need to get as many people to sign this as possible! If you love the Pokemon dub the way it used to be (with the original cast), then please sign our petition.

Anyway, yeah, I like season one as well. I actually plan on buying the Indigo League box sets. I also want the Orange Islands box set, and the Pokemon Advanced box sets (I've already got the Master Quest box sets, lol).

I wanna get the Advanced box sets before I get the other ones, because that's one of my favorite seasons. <333333

I haven't watched Pokemon in a while, so I thought that I grew out of it. I didn't. Now, I'm sad that some new trash company is messing with something I can look back on fondly. I have signed.

Yay! Thanks, BloodyRegret!

Hopefully, our petition will get a lot of signatures. :)

By the way, if anyone wants to join the fan-campaign, SOVA (Save Our Voice Actors), just let me know and I'll give you the link to our forums. Right now, our goal is to get the original cast back for season 12 of Pokemon. Which means, we've been working really hard on our projects! We're sending our emails and calling Pokemon USA every day, because we wanna prove to Pokemon USA and DuArt that the fans are serious about this issue, and we really want the original cast to return.
