    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    I agree, I don't know what Ted Lewis was doing as Marlon, but it didn't seem to fit: Jason Griffith's Brawly at least, despite the obvious surfer dude intonations, matched the character overall. Let me add Sawyer here, just dreadful, in Kalos: he sounds even older than Cameron, and I thought...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    Thanks! Yes, basically the English dub VAs for the Pokedex were (including the RotomDex/Phone since it serves the same function): Nick Stellate (EP001-EP049; The original, first portion of the Indigo League dub, see below) Eric Stuart (EP050-EP276; AG133-AG145 for the portion of the Battle...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    Whenever people say Lisa Ortiz was annoying as COTDs in Johto and such, I literally want them to listen to that PokeDex/Rotom Phone voice in the Journeys dub because that is the WORST of all the English voices its ever had to me (runner up would be Roger Callagy/Rob Morrison's Rotom Dex from the...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    I personally thought it was a dumb move on their part, but very funny, if nothing else (to clarify, 4Kids kept Attila's gender the same and he is male in both versions, it's Hun they screwed up on to clarify that one changing him to a woman- some International dubs followed suit). How they...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    I will say, in its defense, at least Dan Green put some emotion into his acting as Eusine (or rather, "Eugene"): Kyle Hebert made me almost fall asleep in Generations with the bland, monotone "Soo-ee-coon" delivery and stiff deliveries there (even if Ted Lewis' voice was somewhat scratchy, I...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    I think there was some good VA work to come out of it, surprisingly: Andrew Rannells was a better Forrest than Joanna Burns in S9 to me, and Eric Stuart made for a better Flint than Ted Lewis or Rodger Parsons as well. The problem was more w/all the script changes, music replacement, the...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    Agreed James Cathcart was indeed the better Pryce of the two, but still not ideal (the old man while somewhat put on voice is still better IMO & far more believable than his Professor Oak in the TPCi Era of the dub, though, I'll give him that). Regarding Jackson, I prefer Salerno as well, but...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    Oh, he was horrible in the dub. Lillie is someone else I couldn’t stand in the main Anime dub (he sounded like a 30 year old man, what were they thinking?), re: Lillie she sounds like a stereotypical housewife voice in the SM dub and doesn’t fit a prim, proper young girl at all even though...

    Review Characters You Think Never At Any Point Received An Objectively Good English Portrayal in Pokémon, Who Deserved Better?

    Gen I: Butch- I prefer Eric Stuart's rendition to James Carter Cathcart's out of the two (I'm surprised given how TPCi has given multiple characters too many voices for my tastes in media, Butch only stuck with 1 VA like 4Kids did here), but I think this is someone who deserved better, and...
