Dub Voice Actor Guesses/Discussion

[BigDocFan]

Ray's wife voicing a young Ray, oh to have been in the studio for that session, I can just imagine Julia trying to imitate her husband when he was a kid

I'm hoping Sarah and Michele can pull off Ash and Misty's reunion, especially the bickering.

 

[Poke Trey]

So, they got Rowlet, Lana and Sophocles VAs for this episode. SM reunion, I guess. As for the comment above, all of my yes! Especially, how the 2 can play off each other.

Dodrio got a dubbed voice this episode

Dodrio got a dubbed voice this episode

Why?

 

[Nichole the Otter]

Why?

I think it's because as someone mentioned earlier, they likely don't want to pay a license to use the Japanese voice, with the obvious exception of Pikachu. Note how other Pokemon species that kept Japanese voices in previous series, are now getting their voices dubbed over as of Journeys.

Do we know that for sure? There are many instances of Pokemon in Journeys retaining their Japanese voices, even for just a quick background Pokemon. The consistency is never, well, consistent, but we can't say why unless we get a concrete answer from an official source.

Another example of how their inconsistent is JN032 with Sunflora. Sunflora is Pokémon that is usually always dubbed in English. But for some reason they kept it’s original Japanese voice in this specific episode.

But yet other Pokemon that appeared in this episode like Aipom were dubbed, when it usually kept it’s original Japanese voice in the past.

There is also The Arceus Chronicles. I don't know if the Creation Trio keeping their Japanese voices in some scenes is an International-only thing (like Ash screaming while resisting Lysandre's mind control) or if TPCi forgot to dub some of their lines.

So........they're being cheap then. Great.

 

[PaperSplash]

Not necessarily. I brought this up before, but by that logic what was the point of replacing the voice of Goh's Raichu for instance, when his Mantyke and Blue Flabébé (who were voiced by the same person in Japanese) had their voices kept?

The Masters Eight tournament continues where we spend most of the time with two kids called Vic and Toria. In fact we spend so much time with them that Diantha (Vanessa Johansson)'s team gets whooped by Leon (Alejandro Saab).

Suzie Yeung joins the cast and Barrett Leddy pops in as Ash's Rotom Phone at the start.

 

[Poke Trey]

Haydan Daviau/Marnie's VA also voices a character too.

She previously confirmed doing Gossifleur so that is probably her role here

Their role. Remember Haydan is Non-binary.

My bad, I don't always check to see if they're non-binary or not

 

[RetroPokeFan]

The Masters Eight tournament reaches it's second to last match before the final as Ash (Sarah Natochenny) finally goes up against Cynthia (Emily Bauer) where anything can happen.

 

[BigDocFan]

Togekiss keeps its Japanese voice

 

[PaperSplash]

Togekiss keeps its Japanese voice

Since it's voiced by the same person as Goh's Grookey in Japanese, that's more evidence that rights issues with individual VAs isn't the reason why more Pokémon are being dubbed.

 

[BigDocFan]

Though not confirmed (only through process of elimination), we believe that Billy Bob Thompson is Excadrill whilst Marc Thompson is Gastrodon
