Thread: To Clear Up The Pokémon USA and Eric Stuart Mess!

I know this is a new thread but i want to make my point clear.

The email message/guestbook posting regarding Eric Stuart and Pokémon USA Dubbing the special/next season completely contradicts what Veronica Taylor said to me in person last month.

She explained to me that she and the other VA's were dubbing a Special Episode for April and that for the next season Pokémon USA were 'Considering' using soundalikes for the characters instead of the VA's so the email from Eric Stuart completely contradicts what i've been told straight from Veronica's mouth.

Perhaps Veronica Taylor was told one thing and Eric Stuart another, to cover up the fact that they're letting one go and not the other. But your source seems more reliable.

What e-mail from Stuart?

An e-mail sent to PPN (webmaster of site with same name). Really, I think it's an obvious fake and not news at all...

Considering. So they still haven't made the decision yet...

In that case...

WRITE TILL YOUR FINGERS BLEED!

Oh, that's weird.

So what Veronica Taylor said in person just completely contradicts that Eric Stuart email......

That's interesting.

Although, I like how she said that the current VAs were actually used for the special.

If that's true, then that's great news!!

And as for them 'considering' new VAs, that sort of sounds the same as what Eric Stuart said.



So anyway, yes, I will write as many letters as you have wrote and even more nekusagi-chan!!

If we all work toghether we can save the voice actors for Pokemon!!!! ^^

It doesn't matter. They could have made a last minute change and dubbed the special with new voice actors after she made that comment. There's a large time gap between VT's comment and Eric Stuarts e-mail, so she may have thought she was dubbing the special at the time, but now they may have used new voice actors.

Hey Scott-
Unfortunately, this is very real. We have been informed that Pokemon USA has already made plans to do the Anniversary special with substitute voices. Apparently, they haven't made a firm decision on the next season yet. None of us have been formally asked to do the show, we've simply been told we'll be replaced. Pokemon USA has made no effort to negotiate with 4kids, simply feeling that getting a cheaper rate to dub the show is enough. They care nothing for the quality. They will be using new script writers, voices, music, etc. We (the voice actors and those at 4kids who work so hard on the show) are all extremely upset as we care very much for Pokemon and what we've worked to create. However, there is nothing that we can do. It seems that the only recourse is for fans to write to Pokemon USA and tell them how wrong their decision is and how it will adversely affect the show.

Thanks for your concern. Please spread the word and let's all try to work together to right this wrong before it's too late.

Veronica







I found this email address on Pokemon.com. feedback@pokemon-usa.com Does anyone know if this is the correct Pokemon USA email address?

We've got to start making banners and create an organized letter-writing campaign. Expect some banners from me shortly.

Anybody willing to volunteer making a campaign website on such short notice?

I can do that. I can make it on Bulbagarden itself, even.

Do it. If you need help with graphics, I'll be on mirc and AIM (Swiftieee). I'm going to make a graphic logo for us.

Good idea, also get the guys on SPP involved with this (as well as on the other pokemon forums), and they'll be a lot of people willing to write. There's a huge thread on SPP right now with people against the new voice actors, so if there is enough uproar, Pokemon USA may reconsider.

Especially since they're apparently waiting to dub Season 9 until the "Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon" special airs with the new voices, possibly waiting to see fan reaction to these new actors. If they're waiting, then it IS possible that they'll listen to the fans and reconsider.

Ergh, this upsets me like none other. I'll definately do all that I can to help out.

Awesome. If we can pull together in this time of crisis, then there's no telling what we'll be able to accomplish.

Thanks, Swifty. I'll be fine for graphics, but it's good to know I have your help. Personally, this might be the influence of my folding cranes, but I think a wish theme would work for this quite well - especially since then we can have a Jirachi as our unofficial mascot.
