I also love to read, particularly fantasy and adventure novels such as Kenneth Oppel's Silverwing, Sunwing, and Firewing. | I also love to read, particularly fantasy and adventure novels such as Kenneth Oppel's Silverwing, Sunwing, and Firewing. | ||
I plan to major in literary studies and criticism, most likely getting a job as a magazine editor or an author. I chose this path because I love to read and critique things. I feel my mind works in an unconventional manner; I tend to notice smaller, subtle flaws in things and can get to the deeper meanings of trivia fairly easily. But I suck at ''Trivial Pursuit'' and other things like that. As if to prove my thought process, the whole PUSA dub controversy has successfully re-sparked my interest in Pokémon again, as I had fell from player to indifferent gamer about 3 years ago. | |||
And then I found this wiki ^_^. As I was immersing myself in the Silverwing Wiki, I thought ''Wait... are there other wikis like this one?'' and after a little searching, found this ^^. In my opinion this is one of the best and most informative wiki's ever. | And then I found this wiki ^_^.

Sure, I may like a lot, but dislike some too. Nobody can perfectly say that they like ''every single'' Pokémon, right? =P | Sure, I may like a lot, but dislike some too. Nobody can perfectly say that they like ''every single'' Pokémon, right? =P | ||

== My Contributions (type and preferences) == | |||
Meh... This wiki is so detailed and has so many dedicated people, I envy it/them *_*. So much has been done, I feel that I don't have anything new or revolutionary to do. I'll probably think of something, excitedly search it up, and realize its been done -_-'. So I'll take on the role of grammer nazi; fixing stuff up, adding a couple of lines here and there, correcting incorrect notches of info, the works. *bows to all Project Leaders* | |||
== PUSA recasting controversy: Supported or Not? == | |||
When just looking (hearing...?) at the differences, I'm split straight down the middle in terms of preference. I prefer the raw all the way, as the English voices never really impressed me. Each company has their own strengths and flaws regarding their portrayal of the characters. | |||
I may as well get it straight here: I...do...NOT...like 4Kids. Some anime they've slaughtered, like One Piece, paved only disrespect from me. I'll try not to have too much bias :P | |||
At the beginning of the big switch, I felt alienated by [[Ash's]] new voice. [[Sarah Natochenny]] made him sound much older and gravelly then [[Veronica Taylor's]] husky yet light voice I was so used to. This would be enough to hate the voice, but lets look from a different perspective; Ash has bound to have aged, and it would have made sense to have his voice grow with him. This fact and since I've seen more episodes of Natochenny's work, I accepted his new voice with more approval then Veronica Taylor could have ever won. That, and the fact that Ash and [[May]] sounded similar when they battled [4Kids stlye], yelling commands and such. So, one for PUSA, zip for 4Kids. | |||
[[Brock]]... goodness. His 4Kids voice, [[Eric Stuart]], was awesome, yet his voice was too high-strung for me. Brock's advances on women were funny, yeah, but his voice ultimately faltered the humor for me, since he tended to talk fast and sound forced. His PUSA voice, [[Bill Rogers]], couldn't be more opposite: his voice got much deeper and huskier. Unfortunately, this made his character flat-out more boring. His advances on women couldn't feel more unoriginal. PUSA killed the fun out of Brock. | |||
As for [[Team Rocket]], two to one PUSA. I wasn't too fond of Jessie's 4Kids voice ([[Rachael Lillis]], as I felt it was too haughty, but the "softened up" PUSA voice ([[Michele Knotz]]) fit her character better. Same topic with James; I find campy characters funny, but [[Eric Stuart]] made him sound like he was wheezing very sentence. | |||
