http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/ Pokemon USA wants to replace the voice actors in the Pokemon anime! I know..it doesnt seem like a big deal, but it is if you've seen almost every Poekmon episode since day 1! Especially James! His voice is so distinct that no one can replace it! I got this email today, please forward it to all the Pokemon fans you know! At this moment Cartoon Network is talking with Pokemon USA and Nintendo about negotiating a deal for next season. Whether they know that the show they potentially acquire is a very badly done 'fake' is unknown. We need as many people as possible to flood them with emails letting them know that the 'special' we all saw on Saturday was beyond unacceptable. The actors, other than being lackluster and unable to fit the flap, lacked any emotion or character. The script was amateurish and flat. There was no direction. The Pokemon themselves all sounded incredibly different from the original show and video games. It was more violent than any other Pokemon episode has ever been. It was in no way up to the standards which have been set over the past eight years by 4kids, Nintendo and the WB. Are we all expected to simply sit by as Pokemon USA lies to everyone, saying the show will be "exactly the same", even though they have replaced every single element? We have now seen, through the fiasco which was the 10th anniversary special, that this is far from the truth. Please send emails immediately to the two executives at Turner Network (below) and warn them before they make a mistake they will certainly regret for a very long time. Bring Pokemon back to 4kids before it's too late. Thank you in advance! Sincerely, Veronica Taylor Here are people you can email to esxpress your concerns!

He is the hottest boy ever and I liked his old voice better! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2454492 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2428449 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The japense still have the same voice actors why can't we? keep the old out with the new! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2397052 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST we think that they should keep the original voices. When we first heard the voices, we felt a little hurt. And the voices don't even fit their personality's! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2265400 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition because I love pokemon and grew up hearing those voices. I love the original voices! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2220783 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Why? Because Pokemon is still the greatest Japanese thing that has ever happened to the USA, and changing the voices would alienate the audience! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2212908 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We support this petition because we love pokemon especally Chandler. He has been a fan scince he was four years old and it's one of his favorite things in the whole world. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2150672 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST because it's totally unfair and we love the shows for what it is already with the original voice actors! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2140710 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST i love pokeman! you cant do this! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2139962 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. I've been watching Pokemon ever since it started airing on tv. And watching it with new voice actors just wouldn't be the same. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2136733 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST because I like the old voices too much. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2133493 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2132812 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST the show just won't be the same without the old VAs to carry on their roles http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2132787 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST 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! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/savepokevas/#sig2131322 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Changing the voices would make the characters seem alien to the audience.
