I do now genuinely want a pokemon game where they overcompensate for the lack of a second parent all this time by having your protag being the kid of a stereotypically deeply overly supportive gay couple. It's like how in gen 2 and 3 you had the pokephone and could send money home and all but instead it's being constantly called with check ins to make sure you're drinking water and making friends and telling you they believe in you and poo poo. In the hall of fame montage at the end they're in the background with somehow already made shirts with you and your team on them. Never will there be jokes about absentee poke-parents again. Hire me nintendo, I'll make all your games queer.

I just got through Ash's second Sinnoh badge, and the episodes lately have been great. Gardenia is fun, especially her interactions with James. Her battles against Ash were neat too, with some clever tactics on both sides.

"An Elite Meet and Greet" finally gets around to explaining the role of the Elite Four in the animeverse, although the main plot fits more or less into the pattern of previous Elite Four episodes, just with Dawn's Buizel getting some humility smacked into it instead of Ash. "All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go" was lots of fun (as weird-competition episodes tend to be). "A Secret Sphere of Influence" had Team Rocket trying to be the Lupin III gang and failing (one of my favorite directions for them), and did a good job of fleshing out the Officer Jennys. The capture of Buizel was probably the blandest of the past few episodes, actually, but still not really bad.

I found this article from fall of last year interviewing Sarah Natochenny: https://closeupculture.com/2018/11/25/interview-sarah-natochenny-on-death-threats-voicing-pokemons-ash-ketchum-and-fostering-kittens/

quote:

Q: You have been the voice of Ash Ketchum for 12 years now and recently shared a troubling story on Instagram about the bullying you received when you first took the role in 2006. Can you take us back to this time and some of the unwelcome trials you had to overcome?

A: I think it’s important to note: I didn’t “take” the role – that’s how a lot of the “trolls” like to characterise what happened. I was one of many actors who auditioned for a role that needed to be filled. At the end of the audition process, I was offered the role. I accepted, as anyone in my position would do – I was 19, and this was the most exciting thing to have happened in my career at that point.

As a fan of the show, I understood that my portrayal had to be true to the role, but I never imagined that I would start receiving death threats saying that I “took” what wasn’t rightfully mine, and if I didn’t give it back, I would get killed. There were petitions to get me fired, and confrontations at conventions. I was very much alone in this and felt awkward even mentioning it to friends.

It sent me down a dark hole for many years and led me to discover other career paths in the industry, for which I’m grateful. But if you think rejection is the worst thing you’ll experience as an actor, try getting the role and being told by fans that you’ve ruined their childhoods. Try getting creepy calls and emails with death threats. I’m sure there are people who easily shrug it off, but at 19, I wasn’t one of them.

On the bright side, I’m in a much better place now and feel encouraged by the fans who grew up with my work. They’re a huge reason why I’m still with the show. It’s been lovely getting to know them more at conventions and on social media.

This fandom is garbage sometimes.

My question is who's that loving passionate about the pokemon anime they would wish death on somebody over it? Fandoms are beyond me sometimes. I mean seriously, why be that invested? It's not like it's Voltron where queer baiting was the dish of the day. (I should clarify even in that case I don't condone how batshit that fandom went either. If poo poo goes bad just leave)

People were very angry about 4kids losing the license because MUH CHILDHOOD. You still sometimes see people talking about wanting the voice actors back, despite the fact that the TPCI cast has now been doing the dub longer than 4kids did.

Considering what happened with 4kids and Yugioh, it’s pretty understandable why TPCI decided to bring the dub in house (beyond just money reasons) but people were pissed about their contract not being renewed.

(What ultimately sunk 4kids, other than the anime dub market changing so that their style wasn’t desirable to licensors, was that they weren’t properly paying royalties re: Yugioh, which was their last major property so their contract was revoked. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some issues there for the anime and TPCI just said “gently caress it, we’ll save money and do it ourselves”. And then fans frothed at the mouth because it was different and the shoestring budget dub with at the time mostly inexperienced new actors dared to have a rough transition.)

There’s more to it than that. PUSA apparently lied about their reasons for not hiring the 4Kids actors, for example. Obviously that’s not Natochenny’s fault, though.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


At this point though, the anime's changed its cast to the point where the only "permanent" characters are now Ash, the Team Rocket Trio, Delia, Professor Oak and arguably Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy (the fact that they're all different individuals mean that having many voice actors isn't a huge deal for them).

My guess is that whoever's doing Samson Oak now will do Professor Oak. They already replaced a number of Ishizuka's roles already, including the narrator and Oranguru.

Typically if a character is important enough they’ll generally replace them (and there have been some rare instances of Japanese VAs being replaced while the original actor was still alive).
