4 Pokémon

As you know, most hardcore Pokémon fans (such as myself) have been watching the US show ever since it first started airing way back when and all the characters have had the same exact voices (and Voice Actors) for all this time. Now we see the possibility (not 100% confirmed) of changes being made to the voice cast..

As a fellow fan, PokémonTrainerLisa says, "So I see no reason why they should just go and change ALL the characters' voices!! That would just be crazy!!"

I agreee, you have to make up your own mind. Heres a tidbit from an email I recieved from Eric Stuart to help you out:

They are starting with the 10 year anniversary special - starring all new voices. The main cast, me included, has taken a lot of pride in the characters we have helped to create. To change now, on the last season, based on greed is a sad example of what big buisness kids marketing really is.

Please spread the word - maybe some fan buzz can stop this tragedy.
