I am almost certain that Sean Schemmel voiced Hugh, and that Mei's VA has worked with Pokémon regularly.

Really, I could'nt tell with the obvious Son Goku voice during the boat scene. </sarcasm> :D

It definitely sounds like Bianca is played by a different actress, but i guess since this takes place several years later. I do actually prefer this voice for her over the one she has on the tv show.

Some of the other voices sounded familiar, too, but i was too focused on how much this video kicks ass to note who they were.

Mei's voice is definitely familiar from pokemon. The rivals voice is as well, though I think that may be Hugh which means I just repeated what was said.

N's voice is...interesting.
I like Bianca's voice in this thing ten times more than her voice in the actual anime's dub. It's more fitting in my opinion.

Finally! I was hoping they'd do this.

Agreed.

I have to agree. Bianca's voice seemed more accurate, especially for this point in her life. She sounded more professional. Not that I didn't like her voice actress for the dub to begin with, but this voice has a much richer quality. N's voice was... different... but at the same time, seemed to hold bit of a mysterious tone to it, so I'd say it was pretty good. Mei's voice definitely sounded familiar, but considering how many voice actors/actresses we've had through the course of the anime, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But it sounded appropriate for her. Also, she's cuter than I originally thought she was. The video did her justice. Hugh and Cheren's voices were pretty good too, sounded just like they should be. Again, they sounded pretty familiar, but as I said with Mei, it's possible.

I still love this animation. I'm glad the added Mei's section compared to the original (I know, they added her part later, but I mean in the initial launch). If only they would reboot the anime to a quality like this, then the watch rate would explode. Shame they won't expand on this, but whattya gonna do, right? I am getting more and more hyped for this set of games, more than ever before. It makes me feel like the way I was when Pokemon first came out. Kudos to the animators and voice actors, they did a good job.

Last note: Hyper Beam looked like a cross between its game form and a dark cannon-like energy beam. Kinda weird looking, but still pretty interesting.

I just watched the trailer again this morning. Sometimes I wish it was an actual movie or series and not just a promotional trailer. It would be a nice change of pace for Pokemon anime.
Bianca sounded cute too.

While I don't want to offend the actors who had tried so hard for this wonderful English trailer...

They chose the wrong person for N... :( His Japanese actor had done a very good job in giving a mysterious aura off him, even just from his voice. But the mysteriousness is gone and it's just some guy talking.

N is not just some guy, mind... :(

They only had a few lines to dub and N only had one. I can understand why they didn't put too much into casting. N wasn't bad though for at least this line and I'd be willing to hear the voice is other scenarios outside this.

Wait, Elesa's voice actor tried?!

"I'm about to unleash my rage." Yeah, okay, Super Saiyan Hugh
In the anime, she's ditzy and clumsy, which suits her goofy voice. Her voice here is okay, but a little too much valley girl for my tastes.
It kicks enormous ass, and I'm glad that they combined the two Japanese shorts for the dubbed version. This is how the anime should be. Not annoying Iris calling everyone a kid. Not even-more-annoying Cilan making stupid culinary puns with every sentence. Not every Pokémon's cry being their name. And possibly most importantly... not Ash still being around, not having learned anything, and being the same age.

Yeah - but the Japanese voice actor had done so wonderfully in that one single line.

Isn't Mei's VA Lisa Ortiz who voiced May in AG and Amy from Sonic X and the Sonic games from 2005-2010?

Yeah, I caught that too. Her voice has this unique sound to it that's almost impossible to miss.
