I was browsing the net when I happened to come across this on a Pokemon petition website:
"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 Taylor (A.K.A - The original voice actor of Ash Ketchum)
This letter from dear Veronica touched my heart and made me determined to do something about the change in the Pokemon VA (Voice Actor) cast.
After aquiring most of the aspects of Pokemon from 4Kids Entertainment, PokemonUSA announced that upon the arrival of Season 9 of Pokemon, they would be changing the VA Cast. Their reason? Simply getting a cheaper rate to dub the show. And now they are doing everything in their power to get rid of those who got us fans involved with the characters and for what? For money? Pokemon USA is a multi-million dollar conglomerate and they are telling us they cannot spend some cash on several talented voice actors?Pokemon USA cares not about the emotional bond that dedicated fans grew between themselves and the characters of the Original VA cast.
By no means am I holding any grudges against the new VA Cast of Pokemon but, they don't cut the part. Like other animes such as Inuyasha, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, Lucky Star, Princess Mononoke (Er... Mostly anything bye Haio Miyazaki...), and a few others (Such as Pokemon) with such diverse plots and character requirments, there can only be one, truly dedicated VA Cast that knows what they are doing. Only one VA Cast that has the voices that were made for the roles of their characters.
Please, fans, we must work together and be strong! We must fight for this so the children of today will be savvy with the Original VA Cast! We cannot sit back and watch as PokemonUSA destroys something of OURS that we held dear for so many years! Although our dear Maddie Blaustien (A.K.A - The Original VA of Meowth) had past away long ago (RIP, Maddie, We love you so much. "Blaustien off again..."), we still need to fight for the rest of the cast.

- I would like to hear Veronica Taylor as Ash, May, Ash's Mom and Diglett, Rachael Lillis as Misty, Jessie, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff and Haunter, Dan Green as Mewtwo, Magikarp, Gyarados and Lt. Surge, Nathan Price as Meowth, Eric Stuart as Brock and James, Michael Haigney as Psyduck, Stan Hart as Professor Oak, Amy Birnbaum as Max, new voice portrayers including Miranda Cosgrove as Katie Jackson and Nancy Cartwright as Kaleb Jackson and also starring Andy Richter as the new electric type Pokemon, Jug-A-Smug/Rug-A-Smug, Jimmy Zoppi as Gary, Snubble, Growlithe and Arcanine in Pokemon 5 the Movie, this should be dedicated to the loving memories of Philip Bartlett (1959-2001) and Maddie Blaustein (1960-2008), may the great voices for Mewtwo and Meowth rest in heavenly peace and have a happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas in the heaven skies.

- Most of the old time fans like me are already sick of the show since their bringing new main characters with no personallitys (Example Dawn and May) when compared to Misty if they change all the voice actors then they probally will lose most of their costumers since the old time fans like us are the ones who spend the most money

- If there is any point in the future when the current VA's cannot perform their roles, I hope that you will consider the very talented 4-Kids cast of voice actors who brought our favorite characters to life for 8 great years!

- I grew up with Pokemon since I was young. Pokemon was my first anime ever. Since then, I was an avid fan of the series, feeling the characters' pain and joy. I dragged my brother and cousins into my obsession and they became fans too. I stopped watching the series after Battle Frontier but my heart still have a place for my childhood. I started watching the Sinnoh and almost fell over from the difference in the voice acting and the quality. I really hope the Pokemon I love come back and bring back my memories.

- Pokemon was such a big part of my childhood and I'm sure it was for many others, please find it in your hearts to bring them back, you'll easily make triple the amount that you would pay the actors in revenue and increased ratings.

- WIthout the original voice actors of Pokemon, the spirit of it is not the same and it never will be unless something is done about it. I miss the voices of the anime show series of Pokemon; mainly Veronica, Rachael, Stuart, and Eric. They must return...
