Pokemon Changes for America

[Marik]

If you watched todays "Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon" You see that different people are doing their voices. It's because 4Kids are not doing Pokemon dubbing after this. Instead, TAJ will be bringing Pokemon to America. And if you seen Mastermind, you see that it isn't that great.

To make it worse, WB will be merging with CW, while it keeps Kids WB, Pokemon, Viewtiful Joe and Yugioh were dropped to make it anime-free. And it won't be on 4Kids TV either due to the change. Yugioh was already changed and is on Cartoon Network. Will Pokemon join there?

For the last eight years, Pokemon has been in America and started a phenomenon. Since Ash left Pallet Town we heard his raspy voice for eight years. Now it's all changing for the worse.

Tons of fans, including me, have started petitions to Pokemon USA and Nintendo. Email then and tell them about this horrid change. We as Pokemon fans(the millions) are shocked to hear Ash, Misty, May, Brock, Team Rocket's new voices are are totally pissed about it.

Note: Pikachu's voice and the music aren't changed due to the fact that those are from the Japanese version as well.

Like Yugioh, it's contining on Cartoon Network as well as this new show I never knew about, Pokemon Chronicles that stars Misty, Brock and Meowth that already started.

I guess they just didn't want to continue doing Pokémon voices. I only saw one pokemon movie in english anyways. I really don't like the new Pokémon and Hoenn very much. I liked the pokemon episodes up to Jhoto and pokemon up to 251

Ironically, it seems Pokemon made and will break Kids WB. It seems that WB is in a hard place now. after Animaniacs and before Pokemon, WB had nothing and was going downhill, but Pokemon saved them. Yugioh followed suit too. But these 2 shows basically killed any chance of any other WB show being successful and basically killing them as well. 4Kids TV doesn't help either with their shows being more sucessful. It seems the only winner is Cartoon Network, with both Yugioh and Pokemon.
