"It Takes Two"?
What song is that? --ElectAbuzzzz 18:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
It's a song which came from a commercial to help promote the Ruby and Sapphire games, and double-battles (Veronica Taylor and Rachael Lillis performed Ash and Misty, singing the song "It Takes Two"). I have this song! It's great! ^_^ However, the song was never released on any album, and the commercial seems to have been one-of-a-kind. PPN used to have it, but sadly, it's no longer on his hardrive. --PokemonTrainerLisa 06:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- lol, it's funny to come back here after a year of absence and find that my question has been answered in a random time during that year :) We should probably have an article for that song. Does anyone have the lyrics? --ElectAbuzzzz 21:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Well... May's return is tomorrow...
And I know we were all surprised when the other 4Kids VAs started coming back... So has she said anything about Saturday's episode? TTEchidna 06:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well May is still being voiced by Michele Knotz. I don't know how these rumors got started but they are obviously false. --ケンジのガール 20:34, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! sorry, but I really love Veronica's voice acting. Mooites 00:46, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
To whoever posted that quote up there: I don't know how you got that information. But anyway, Veronica told me exactly that in an email she just sent me. However, I wish she would have explained further what she meant by that "In fact, they won't allow me to work on the show at all" thing. Because quite frankly, it doesn't make any sense for Pokemon USA to be saying this (especially given the fact that there are no contract issues now, and both Rachael Lillis and Maddie Blaustein have been given minor roles on the show recently). As for the rumor which was on Veronica's guestbook, in an email I received from her recently, Veronica has denied those rumors about her returning.
And to answer your question TTEchidna, Veronica isn't contracted to 4Kids. She never was (I know this because I've received many emails from Veronica, both during and after the VA switch). The other members of the original cast weren't under contract either, for that matter. In fact, Veronica and the rest of the original VAs are freelance. So therefore, Veronica should be able to work for any company she wants (which is why this whole thing with Pokemon USA makes no sense whatsoever). I have no idea why Pokemon USA isn't allowing Veronica to regain her role as Ash. What I do know, is that Sarah Natochenny is ruining Ash on Pokemon, because he is no longer the same character that he was in the 4Kids dub.
And by the way, personally, I thought Michele Knotz' performance as May in "A Full Course Tag Battle" was horrible. Let's see if Michele does any better in today's episode (September 20th). I'm not expecting much of a difference in her performance. But of course, I will give Michele Knotz the benefit of the doubt. --PokemonTrainerLisa 11:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hm. Well, either way, at least we know for sure that she's not back as May, so there ya go. Opinions? Meh. All I can say is at least they aren't dumping episodes left and right to finish a season up for marketing. TTEchidna 18:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Here we go again. I don't believe that PUSA would just lock out Veronica Taylor because "they don't like her". Why would they want to lose fans by replacing the voice actors? If they lose fans they lose money. There was OBVIOUSLY a two year contract. How else can you explain why all these 4Kids actors are returning two years after this drama happened. Sure she isn't contracted now, but she was. Don't give me this crap that PUSA didn't want her to voice Ash anymore. I don't care that she e-mailed you personally. Did you ever think she's only telling you what you want to hear?
- Don't listen to these people who say that PUSA won't let her return to the show because it's lies. That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Maddie Blaustein returned to the show, and she caused way more problems for PUSA than Veronica did. My personal believe, you don't have to agree, is that she doesn't want to return. I don't know if she said it herself or if some fan is making up crap to rile up SOVA. I hope she didn't say these things herself because that just shows what kind of person she truly is.
- Oh and Lisa. Since you had to voice your opinions I'll voice mine. Sarah Natochenny is not "ruining" Ash. She brought a different tone to him and I think it's working out great. If you keep expecting Ash to sound like Veronica Taylor again, then you're never going to happy with the show. For your own good, you should learn to accept her way of voicing Ash. Veronica Taylor's voice should not be the definition of Ash. Neither should Sarah's. Ash should define himself. You know why PUSA isn't letting Taylor retain her role as Ash. 1) Veronica Taylor might not have even tried to get her role back, 2) Sarah Natochenny has a contract. What do you expect them to do? Up and fire her so Veronica can voice her again? That's completely unreasonable. Sarah is doing the best she can to voice Ash and he's improved greatly from the time she started. And you're not cutting her any slack at all for the hard work she's doing because "She doesn't sound like Veronica Taylor". As I said, going by that logic, you'll never be able to enjoy the anime. --ケンジのガール 21:20, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- I take it you didnt like the 4kids dub. I read your page and I agree, 4kids ruined TMM and so many other animes. But I think they did something right (yes, i said right) with Pokemon. Think about it, where would Pokemon be today without them? they defined the show and made the characters who they are. my bad, were. now Ash seems completely different. What happened to his Ashy spunk? Sure, he matured in AG, but he didnt loose his personality. Now hes just flat. and thats my opinion. I know nobody asked for it and im betting that this comment'll get deleted and we'll get the "forums please" message. oh well, here goes. --Mooites Talk to me, baby! 21:34, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
