Actually, MOST "young-boy" characters in anime/cartoons are, in fact, voiced by female voice actors. Just about every young-boy role is voiced by a woman. This is very common.
And the reason women voice young boy characters is because men reach puberty at a certain age. When they reach puberty, their voice changes. Therefore, male voice actors are (usually) unable to do the "young boy" type of voice.
Yes, the original VAs thing. Well, Emily Jenness isn't one of the voice actors who got replaced back in 2006. Of course, we want Emily to stay! ^^
And yeah, my friends and I are very dedicated to the cause. We really want the original voices back, especially Ash's old voice. <3
In fact, there's a lot of people who have noticed the difference between Ash's new voice and his old voice. Trust me, there is a big difference (there's a comparison video on YouTube, if you want, I can send you a link to it).
By the way, I think Veronica Taylor is amazing. She truly brought Ash to life in the 4Kids dub (Ash is my favorite character, by the way).
But now in D/P...Ash is a completely different character, in my opinion. He's not the same Ash Ketchum that I grew up with...and I want the old Ash back. The one I remember hearing in seasons 1 through 8. =(
