In 2008, [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] switched dubbing studios from [[TAJ Productions]] to [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]]. | In 2008, [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] switched dubbing studios from [[TAJ Productions]] to [[DuArt Film & Video|DuArt]]. | ||
Because DuArt's production budget wasn't as low as TAJ's, several of the voice actors from the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub began to return to the series. Initially, they were voice actors who had played minor roles or recurring characters, such as [[Evelyn Lanto]], [[Sean Schemmel]], [[Dan Green]] and [[Bella Hudson]]. However, beginning with ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy]]'', fans noticed that [[Rachael Lillis]] had returned to voice [[Maylene]] and later {{p|Sunflora}} and {{p|Shinx}}. [[Maddie Blaustein]] returned briefly before her death in 2008, voicing {{p|Chatot}} in ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''. For the first time, a 4Kids actor was allowed to do the show. | |||
So far, the only voice actors who have redeemed one of their former roles are [[Ted Lewis]] and [[Mike Pollock]]. In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'', Lewis redeemed his role as {{an|Giovanni}}, while Pollock redeemed his role as [[Raoul Contesta]] in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]''. Although other voice actors with notable roles have returned, they have yet to return to them, an example being [[Rachael Lillis]]'s main role as [[Jessie]]. | |||
