Well, the old narrator wasn't working for 4Kids anymore anyways was he? I thought the reason Pollock had to take over was 'cause he quit.
If he quit 'cause of 4Kids rather than Pokemon, I can imagine him happily agreeing to sign up with PUSA for the show.
I've heard the voices for Ash, Misty and Team Rocket through a YouTube clip and have to say, they really aren't that bad. Ash DOES sound like Ritchie, but it does suit him better - it's a lot closer to the sound of his Japanese voice than Taylor's. Misty sounds fine, a little different but it doesn't put you off - it works well. Jessie's is a bit broad but again, fine. Meowth is again fine - he appears to have become a cross between Blaustein's Meowth and the Japanese Meowth.
James, however was... :/. It's not that he actually was THAT bad, but the silly English accent he was forcing onto himself just wasn't right. However, it's no worse than Stuart's original attempt at him, I can only assume that further down the line, once the actor has gotten into the role better - the accent will flatten out more and he'll sound just fine.
Brock, reportedly is meant to be the worst hit - along with Prof Oak, so i'm interested to hear them but overall, I have to say that outside of them being different, I see no real glaring problems yet.
