Imagine if Jason Paige became the voice actor for when Ash finally grows up and becomes like a mentor to new trainers and is a badass wholesome teacher that comes to save the day when everything else seems to fall apart

[@rockestar7946]

Jonathan: So, Jason, I'm doing a metal cover of Pokemon, wanna join? Jason: Sure, as long as I get to wear this tie.

[@austinlisenbee8415]

Also Jason: oh by the way I'm also bringing my Pikachu costume. Johnathan: why? Jason: why not?

[@rockestar7946]

Jonathan: Okay but I have my Pikachu shirt Jason: Okay we can work this out

[@Diviniteh]

Pretty sure the camera man spoke out about this a while back on Reddit. Apparently Jason was adamant that he had to wear it as it was his "thing" like a catch phrase.

I just had this play in the background on a mix list and thought ‘why does that second singer sound so different from Jonathan’s normal collab partners, yet so, so familiar?? It couldn’t be…’ And decided to check the song. I had this on a CD as a kid, and heard that man’s voice so many times. I’m blown away by this. So good!

[@adioman543]

Holy shit Jason Paige is still the BEST!! He’s gotta do more music with Jonathon with those vocal ranges because of how well they go with Jonathan’s low range vocals. FYI....when they both yell gotta catch them all and their voices mix so damn well together...yea goosebumps!! Awesome guys!

[@SANDWICHshuriken]

Sergio Cruz I hope he gets jason and caleb to sing " sono chi no kyoku" and "great days" from jojo.

[@Kains_Gaming_Channel]

"Come with me, the time is right. There's no better team." Those must have be the words Jonathan said to jason to get him on the video.

Dude, the fact that you got the singer of the OG Pokemon theme to join in this cover is both insane and impressive. I'd be beyond honoured to have that opportunity.
