After many complainments from the fans about Ash's voice, which was done by [[Kayzie Rogers]] (as "Jamie Peacock") they recasted the voice actor for Ash. It was annouced at Comic Con International that [[Sarah Natochenny]] will do the voice of Ash. Also, "[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]" special was redubbed and improved slightly. Sarah Natochenny's performance of Ash is still a controversy for some in the Pokémon Community up to this day.
