Thread: If you were in charge of voice casting who would you pick?

Scott Menville (Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia, Robin from Teen Titans) would make a good Ash or Cilan.
Kevin Conroy (Batman) could be Drayden and/or Clay.
Danielle Judovitz (Batgirl from The Batman, Kitty Pryde from Wolverine and the X-Men) could be Iris.
Heather Anne Campbell (Drew Carey's Improv-a-Ganza) would make a good Professor Juniper.

Steve Carell to voice Ash
Bill Cosby to voice Brock
Avril Lavigne to voice Dawn

TPCi's voice acting crew could do better if they had Darren Dunstan as voice director (much like 4Kids Seasons 6-8 did..he's in the TPCi dub as Stephan IIRC and why they didn't let him be Sukizo again IDK but you get my point) instead of Tom Wayland (only character whose VA improved under his direction being Sarah's Ash: that only in the BW Saga where it's a flat imitation of Veronica Taylor's work). Bill Rogers' Brock got even worse and I was glad to see Brock leave after that grunting constipation he suffered from-- seriously sounded nothing like Ueda or Stuart and it was miserably bad. That being said if I were in charge Veronica Taylor, Rachael Lillis, and Eric Stuart would be reinstated as Ash and TRio ASAP, respectively (IDGAF about the COTD voices/rival voices/etc like the crap DuArt's been giving us and find it pointless).

I died at Bill Cosby! XD "Oh you zamboozled my Onix with your electric zip zoppity boop attacks!"

oh for the love of arceus people, I really love the 4kids vas with a passion, and wish that Maddie Blaustein didn't ever die, but such i can't help. but i'm going to give a rational list of casting. Oh, and for those wondering, nobody seems to notice that the old narrator was brought back in the PUSA/TPCI dub. anyway here's my cast list. I'm not doing ash as he has been talked about as many times as there are granes of sand in the Unova Deserts, i'm going to do these characters: Rachael Lillis as Iris, Jason Griffith as Cilon (he does well, really wish maddie blaustein was still around then she could have voiced him) or even Ted Lewis as Cilon, Kerry Williams as Bianca and Prof. Juniper, Keep Marc Thompson as Dr. Zager, i'd have had Lisa Ortiz voice Dawn (as unlikable as dawn is, not saying emily is unlikable i'm saying dawn is unlikable), Darren Dunstan as Mr. Sukizo, Rebecca Honig would have done a good motherly figure like Johanna, Bella Hudson as Nurse Joy, Kayzie Rogers or Lee Quick as Officer Jenny (Emily williams also did good, wonder if she is lee quick, and Kayzie Rogers really made her sound like an officer with her slight touch of a texan accent[Kayzie's natural voice has a slight texan or otherwise drawl to it that makes officer jenny and other female characters such as prof. ivey sound sexy yet serious]) I'd even come up with a cast for the members of team plasma: Sean Schemmel or Dan Green as Ghetsis, and Eli James or Carter Cathcart as N. I'd bring back nathan Price to voice Meowth, have Geovanni's secretary talia voiced by Eileen Stevens or Kayzie Rogers, and would even bring back Amy Birnbom (probibly butchered her name, sorry) as elesa and as Skyla. I'd have had Sarah Natochenny voice May like someone stated above, and had Kayzie Rogers do a slightly different voice for max (somewhat like her wobbuffet voice, but without sticking out her tongue.) I'd also find a place for the wonderfull Tara Jayne in the voice cast, maybe as some of the pokemon i.e. Fraxure or Trubbish and Snivy, and as another possibility for Iris (the little kid). Tell me what you think, and please forgive my bad spelling.

Quite good lol. Just put VT back as Ash, Eric as James, Rachael as Jessie, and Nathan Price as Meowth someday now. As for Max, good god I want Amy Birnbaum back. LOL.

Just thought of another one: Grey DeLisle voices Aya on Green Lantern: The Animated Series, and that voice would be perfect for the Pokedex.

I would have Satoshi be voiced by Ono Daisuke.

Ash = Veronica Taylor (rehire), Stephanie Nadolny or Colleen Clinkenbeard (FUNi), and Saffron Henderson or her replacement in Inuyasha Rebecca S. (Ocean), Mona Marshall (Viz), anyone but Natochenny or Kayzie Rogers
Brock = Eric Stuart (rehire), Eric Vale (FUNi), Scott McNeil (Ocean), Yuri Lowenthal (Viz), anyone but Bill Rogers
Misty = Rachael Lillis (rehire), anyone but Knotz
May = VT (rehire), anyone but Knotz
Max = Amy B. (rehire), anyone but Kayzie
Meowth = Nathan P. (rehire), anyone but Cathcart/Zoppi
James = Eric S. (rehire), anyone but Cathcart/Zoppi
Jessie = Rachael L. (rehire), anyone but Knotz

Looks like someone hates the TPCI dub with a passion.. I would have had maybe Peet Zerustica voice Keldeo, not saying vic Mignogna is bad or anything, or i eve would have had Jimmy Zoppy voice him too. but i'm still happy with vic.

Gus Johnson or VT (the original :)) -> Ash Ketchum
Morgan Freeman -> narrator/Cilan/Brock
VT -> Iris/Dawn

Wouldn't it be cool for VT to be voice acting Dawn/Iris??
