Wow! I leave the boards for a couple days and things get really exciting. I have to ask, just because I don't have time to go back through the numerous pages, how many of you have heard the new voices? PUSA evidently debuted them at Comic-con. I went to WPM's site to try to listen to them. To...

Often when groups of young people (I have to assume everyone here is mostly mid-late teens) join together for a positive cause, such as helping deliver food to shut-ins, cleaning up a local park, or painting over graffiti, they can get a lot of local "fluff stories/human interest stories"...

I asked this before, but I'd like to again. Who here is going to Comic-con? Gadfly, honestly, you'd be everyone's best bet because you're speaking as an adult and you won't be taken as a crazed fan. Will you be attending? I wanted to know if you could message me as well, I had a question for...

Is Pokemon doing anything at Comic-con? Does anyone know? Maybe whomever goes to the show can bring back some info. Is anyone from here going?

Plus, as a side note, malls are not actually considered public space. The mall security can actually kick you out if they see you handing out flyers. They're more likely to act faster than any of the "Pokemon" personnel (which I still think none of them actually work for Pokemon). This isn't...

I just want to point out quick that I don't think you guys should just be blindly accepting everything Maddie and the old VAs say at face value unless you give Pokemon the same benifit of the doubt. Pokemon posted directly and stated on their website what happened. 4Kids has said nothing and the...

Gadfly, I agree with you completely on everything except for one little detail -- Pokemon isn't publicly owned. That almost makes it more difficult to sway the opinions of the powers that be. There are no shareholders to worry or to convince that the fans are retaliating. Pokémon USA is owned by...

The host sites (YouTube) do make money, though. The more interesting content that is on their site, the more visitors there are, the more advertisers pay to be featured on said sites (YouTube). So sites like YouTube are actually profiting, but it's so widespread that there really has to be a...

Just be careful guys - YouTube is starting to get a lot of backlash from the entertainment industry for allowing people to just upload anything. Although some are turning a blind eye to it, your videos were attacking a company directly, so now it's been brought to their attention. I hope they...

I'm under the impression that after the first 10 or so episodes with the new VAs, most people will be used to the new VAs. It seems like there's a huge controversy online, but I also have to wonder what kind of impact the fans have truly had through their letters and e-mails. Forums and fansites...

I apologize, but I've been out of the VA discussion for the past couple weeks; I just felt uncomfortable with the idea that the VAs themselves are getting more fans worked up over something they might not be able to fix. We might even be making the situation worse in some ways by sending...

That's odd, it was my understanding that Pokemon USA was owned by Pokemon in Japan and that Nintendo just makes the games.... Sorry, Gadfly, but I'm nominating you to figure that out. lol

Agreed. I just can't imagine why/how 4Kids would let their VAs do work for a competitive company. I feel like I've said this a thousand times, but it makes more sense with each new bit of info -- the higher ups are handling all this, the VAs were probably left out of the conversation.

Gadfly, lol, in real life I usually keep in the background of things; some how I end up in the middle of them online. I just finished reading your post and I want to clear up one thing. Normally, I would agree with the thought that companies just look at the bottom line. However, this is where...

Exactly. I can't imagine why 4Kids would allow their employees to dub a show for someone else. It may interfere with what 4Kids wants them to do. I also have a feeling that the VAs may not have been informed of everything that was happening. Things probably were taken care of at a much higher...
