Pokemon Cast...YOUUUUU'REEEE FIIIIRRREEEEDD

'sound-a-likes' to try to save money. They acutally believe the fans
don't care. They are starting with the 10 year anniversary
special-starring all new voices. The main cast, me included, has taken
a lot of pride in the characters we have helped to create. To change
now, on the last season, based on greed is a sad example of what big
buisness kids marketing really is.

Please spread the word-maybe some fan buzz can stop this tragedy.

I feel bad for Veronica Taylor right now, but on the flip side



Final season huh? Looks like my suspicions on Pokemon Ranger have been confirmed, it IS a different series

I'm not a Pokemon nut, but I DID watch the series regularly for the first season or two (until that Orange Island crap started).

And whether I like the shoe or not, I think cast changes such as this are totally wrong. Especially since many of the voices on that show did grow on me (particularly...Brock's and James'!).

A shame they're resorting to this. Way to celebrate an anniversary.

At least they celebrated power ranger's 10th anniversary by bringing all the red rangers back in an episode called Forever Red.

The pokemon show is terrible. I used to watch it all the time when ti was on UPN and YTV. It's still on but I got lost after a while and it was crap also.

Remember the dreaded Pokemon Rap..

However the pokeom games are fun..

The show is ending anyway, confirmed in the e-mail, so you're a little late with the usual "Pokemon suckz" bandwagon

.....the empire behing the show is Nintendo. 4Kids just delivered it on a smelly plate. Oh yeah, why was I here?

The Pokemon show can die. Hard. It's what started the downfall of Saturday morning and animation in general. It's a scurge on the poor games (which are quite good), and a disgrace to entertainment in general.

Oh, and I consider the voice acting on that show to be PISS poor, so whatever in that department. If, or should I say "when" they decide to do that to TMNT, I will never watch a new animated series again. Face it, you know it's comming.

I think Power Rangers is mre responsible for the downfall of Saturday morning toons. Now, don't get me wrong, I like Power Rangers. But after MMPR came out, everyone and their mothers tried copying it. And thats what killed Saturday mornings for many years.

I actually enjoy saturday cartoons again, TMNT, WITCH, Winx Club, Sigma Six (To a point, atleast. it has it's really bad moments sadly)

I had no idea Pokemon was still going on. I remember how much I hated that show. Now............ eh.... I still hate it. But I hope it meets its downfall. No cast deserves a screw job like that, regardless of how s**ty the show is.

I blame imported anime in general for the downfall of Saturday Morning Cartoons. But that's just me.

Power Rangers killed animation in the 1990s', thats' definate, but only animation for a time being, X-Men and Spidey soon made sure the genre had a large following again.

Its' Jap crap and the insistence on importing french rubbish like Totally Spies and Winx (sorry Kittie ) thats' making the major animation networks unbearable. In spite of this though, I still think original animation is starting to take hold again, even if they are bad (Imaginary Freinds, Xiolyn Showndown) or hideously underrated (Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Codename: Kids Next Door), theres' a stronger opposition to Jap crap than there was during the Pokemon/Digimon wars.

As stated a billion times already, it IS ending with the tenth season.

Besides, a lot of the Pokehaters never really give reasons and just like to say "it suckz" to get off on it. I myself was in that camp when they switched to Johoto, but came around again when Advanced freshened things up, regardless of how bad May is, they keep Misty as a recurring character from time to time, better for the relationship I think...

You know, Zarius...I've always wondered. Do you watch every show on TV? You must not do much else, cause you seem to know a sh*t load about every single show ever, especially cartoons.
