 :And in turn, I am frankly sick of Taylor fans frequently bashing Sarah Natochenny when she is trying her damn hardest to get the role of Ash just right. No one wants to give her a chance and keep trying to get Taylor back even though it is too late. But still I don't go and tell them not to bash her because I know that they have their opinions. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 10:41, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
+Wow...I can't believe you seriously believe what WPM has said! I mean, do you believe everything you read on the internet?  Anyway, I know for a fact that WPM hears things from his so-called "sources" about what happened during the VA switch.  But, upon hearing the truth from people, he ''twists things around'' in order to assume what actually happened.  And half the time, WPM doesn't even have any solid evidence to back up what we (SOVA) has proved to be "false claims"  That's right, I'm saying most of the things WPM has said on his site about the original cast and the VAs are either ''rumors'' or ''lies''!  WPM has a history of trolling and flaming the SOVA thread on Bulbagarden.  But not only that, WPM's also caused many flamewars and arguments in the Anime forum on Bulbagarden.  If you don't believe me, you can search the forums or ask any mod/admin at Bulbagarden.  Anyway, I'm just saying, I wouldn't call his "sources" credible if I were you.  WPM's logic and reasoning about the VA switch is very flawed, and filled with many rumors, lies, and '''misconceptions''' about the original cast.
+Anyway, as to why I'm saying all this - I'm trying to make it perfectly clear to you that what WPM said abot the original cast is '''NOT TRUE AT ALL'''!  It's obvious that WPM is clearly biased against the VAs, especially with all the bad things he's said about them on Bulbagarden - and he has even more hatred about 4Kids.  In fact, it looked to me like the reason WPM was saying all that stuff on his site was simply because he didn't want the dub to get into the "evil" hands of 4Kids again (like most fans at the time).  But you know what, even though it may have looked like the original VAs wanted to get the show back with 4Kids - that doesn't in any way mean that, all the VAs cared about was the freakin' money.  WPM was completely out of line when he made that claim, and so are you for believing his every word!  I'm sorry, but WPM was completely wrong about that!  The original VAs cared a lot about their roles and the characters they portrayed.  They were attached to the characters!  And that's a fact!!
+Just in case you need further evidence that the original cast really '''ARE''' attached to their characters on Pokemon, here is something very recent.  Two SOVA members attended an anime con and get to speak with Veronica and Rachael for over 45 minutes.  Here is an account of what happened:
+''Veronica explained to us that they had indeed received the material for the Mastermind special and that she thought, "we were going to start on it at any given day." She confirmed ONCE AGAIN she was never, ever offered a chance to continue. When I explained to her everything Larry Juris said about the lawyer he offered, their contracts, etc., Veronica gave such a disgusted face and said she couldn't believe how many stories and lies were being made up about what happened. We told her that PUSA and TAJ's stories do not match, yet all the VAs' match. Veronica nodded and said, "It's because we all endured the same exact thing." Puff told her about PUSA's excuse of "characters growing up" and once again Veronica's facial expression showed complete disbelief. Rachael, who had previously showed compassion to Puff and I for the TAJ/Larry situation, again expressed what she thought of the situation. She told us that all the years they worked with him (and she especially, who worked with TAJ for Utena AND Pokemon), everything was fine and they had no problems at all.''
+''Puff and I then went through explaining how the new English dub isn't just about the voice acting anymore and that we thought the dialogue and quality was cheap and rushed. Veronica said, "When I've watched some of the newer episodes I find what the characters are saying to be very surprising and not true to form." I told her some of the out-of-character things Ash has been saying lately, and she was 100% shocked. When explaining a certain piece of dialogue, she looked at Rachael as if she was going scream and Rachael shook her head in disbelief, too. They both began repeating, "No! No! Ash would never say something like that! Never!" We smiled sadly and continued to express how different the show was now and how much better off we are watching the Japanese version.''
+''Puff reexplained what Pokemon.com's "statement" was about the VAs under "contractual obligations," and Rachael said, "The way they wrote that did nothing but turn the problem back on us, and that wasn't fair. It had nothing to do with contracts." Veronica sighed and said, "I got an email a while ago where someone asked if because two years was coming up if we could voice the characters again. But, the thing is, in the end, this really had nothing to do with contracts. We were never approached to continue by Pokemon USA." We nodded and said that a lot of people were wanting to email her to ask if they should give up, and Veronica said, "I don't think it's right for me to tell them to give up. Like I wrote on the picture, you guys have gone above and beyond, but it's Pokemon USA who isn't listening." We told her about the PR director, Amy Wexler, and Veronica restated they had received the Mastermind special under the impression they were going to dub it and said, "But I feel that Pokemon USA was planning this for a very long time, months ahead before action took place." I told her that on Bill Roger's LJ he had written they dubbed the first Battle Frontier episode before the Mastermind Special, and they had sent the first episode to PUSA as a trial, which Rachael and Veronica explained furthers the proof PUSA was planning this for a VERY long time.''
+And by the way, let me clear something up for you.  Did I ever once say I hated Sarah Natochenny ''herself''?  No.  I don't hate her, in fact I respect her and admire the fact she actually had enough courage to apply for a job like this.  However, I simply dislike her '''voice acting''' and her '''portrayal of Ash'''.  You see, the reason many Taylor fans seem to bash Sarah is not because they absolutely hate Sarah Natochenny as an individual - but rather, it's because of the fact that Sarah has apparently chosen not to be a "sound-alike" like Bill Rogers did with his version of Brock.  But instead, she went in her own direction.  Again, in my opinion, I believe her voice acting on Pokemon leaves a lot to be disired.  But what I find most interesting is the fact that '''ALL''' her performances of ''female characters'' on the show have been great.  Which seems to tell me that Sarah is either A) not good at doing male character roles, or B) she is just not the right person to play the role of Ash.  Of course, I'm more inclined to go with reason B, because Sarah has completely changed Ash's personality in the dub (in my opinion).  And that isn't a good thing for fans like me, who have been watching Pokemon since the very beginning, and who also, have grown very attached to the personalities of the characters in the show.  I think that all SOVA wants - in fact, anyone who loves and supports the original cast - all that ''we'' want is to make sure that the characters on Pokemon are being portrayed exactly the way they were portrayed back in the 4Kids dub.  Now, to be quite honest, I don't think that's too much to ask from Pokemon USA.  --[[User:PokemonTrainerLisa|PokemonTrainerLisa]] 10:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
