In the first few episode, Ash's longtime voice actor was replaced temporary. The female companion {{an|Dawn}}, though her English name was used constantly, sometimes referred as Hikari, her Japanese name. After a few episodes, the dub began to using the English version as localization (mostly for Pokémon names, [[characters of the day]], locations, etc.) and the Japanese script as the main translation. The previous main characters were still retained in Japanese, possibly to avoid confusion for the audience.
