because can anybody see the cartoon without it's original voice actors and actresses? I mean really, can you? I sure can't. People have grown up with the voices they love on that show. Now I may not watch it anymore, due to being a bit older and having exams, etc. But please guys, think of the kids that love this show. Hearing Ash and Pikachu with tottaly different voices...think about it, it's not what the really want to hear, is it. THINK!
