* Ohtani and [[Maddie Blaustein]] are the only actors listed as reprising their anime roles (Pikachu and Meowth, respectively) in ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''. However, since the show was a US produced show and Ohtani's role in the dub is a reuse of her work on the Japanese version, it's more likely that archive recordings were used for Pikachu.
