How do we beat getting the the original main cast, by getting even more of the original cast for the largest Pokémon reunion panel ever kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4bIZ4eZmpiJeM0. Fun little fact: This panel was recorded between the airing of Sun & Moon episode 102 and 103 in japan (which are episodes that have Brock and Misty visiting the Alola region). The relation of the airing of the episodes and the date of the panel is purely coincidental. Weather For the day (In relation to reference in 0:01:04): Raining (Precipitation 0.23in) Highs: 52° | Lows: 36°

1:57 “I’m still ten.” ASH KNOWS. 😱🤣

[@greninjastorm]

The original cast will always be the best!

[@tristangardner3889]

My thought exactly.

[@TheColeTruth]

hands down. The only reason they were replaced is because they didn't want to pay them. The new actors are cheap replacements.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

​@@TheColeTruthYep. That's what it was all about - money, using the excuse of "Pokémon's waning popularity". They actually did bring Rachael back for a couple episodes during DP to voice Veilstone gym leader Maylene, and it hurt to hear Misty's voice coming from her.

[@dwainsimmons3447]

Correct

[@calvinl5726]

Nostalgia talking

[@NicoMambino]

Hearing Ash’s voice again from this video brings back so many nostalgic memories as a kid. It’s been forever since I’ve heard the voice.

[@timrob12]

Love the nice words they shared about Maddie Blaustein. Rachael was almost crying. She was wonderful as Meowth.

[@RLviddy]

Rachael didn't cry.

[@PixelaGames2000]

Maddie meowth that shall be her nick name and I’ll name a meowth after her in her honor

[@simon_wiggle_fan]

I feel like that was a daring question to ask, Eric was visibly emotional in his body language but did well at hiding it unless you were really paying attention.

[@rosecream1233]

Veronica’s simple switch between ash’s voice and her normal voice is great. It also is great to see how well they know the fandom, like they still know some of the inside jokes of the fandom.

If i was there, i would've asked Eric and Rachel to recite the Team Rocket motto in character. Such a missed opportunity!

[@eddieyyy3]

LochNES it would’ve been bittersweet since Maddie (Meowth) wouldn’t have been there to recite “MEOWTH THAT’S RIGHT!” Since she passed away in 2008 😭

[@LostFanaticBenLinus]

I just saw them at Game On Expo, where someone asked them to recite the motto. They said the crowd probably knew the whole thing better than they did, but they did the first couple of lines. And everyone went NUTS, me included. It was awesome.

It is a treat to see the orginal cast drop some backstory on a beloved show. We all know work is work for everyone. But the work they did brought a ton of joy to all of us.

TPCi still sucks at it after over a decade, their egos are too massive to admit the 4Kids cast was better than them.

They are all so incredible at their job. I never knew ANY of them did more than 1 character until I looked it up. Would never, ever of guessed Eric Stuart was Brock, James, Cassidy AND THE OG POKEDEX.

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

Brock and James some of the funniest cartoon characters I've ever seen.

[@Anthony-fu6cl]

Loved the panel, it's great seeing all of them together. I wish they did a little sample of each character, even though Veronica and Tara did some awesome one-liners! I've seen all of them before besides Tara; so I was wondering who she played; but knew instantly she was Richie from the moment she talked! I had no idea she was Bulbasaur too. I was sad when Veronica didn't share her thoughts on the Detective Pikachu movie.. I think it's hard for her to give her opinion on any of the new Pokémon stuff regardless if Ash is in it or not.. She said Pikachu was an "it" at 38:32. It's hard to believe she's been gone from it for so long; she wasn't around after Hoenn when Diamond and Pearl introduced the Pikachu gender differences with the heart shaped tail... It's been so long. It makes me sad. She's my favorite 😢

[@retrogamer6403]

I think the Pikachu gender difference started with Gold and Silver not Diamond & Pearl unless your talking mainly about the anime.

[@roccaluce]

@@retrogamer6403 Gender differences were first introduced in Generation 4, gender was first introduced in Generation 2.

@@springchickena1 Yup, Eric was called in direct Yu-Gi-Oh when it was in production and Kaiba was the only character that had not yet been cast.

When it comes to the argument between which way of saying Pokémon is correct, Poke-a-mon- or Poke-ay-mon, I'd argue both are wrong, Pokémon is a shortening of the phrase Pocket Monsters so technically the correct way of saying it would be Pocke-mon

[@wakkaseta8351]

"Poketo Monstah"

[@nathancruz9172]

I met Veronica Taylor 2 years ago.

[@atomicfox4390]

I met Veronica (Ash) she was super nice

[@andrewhormazabal2766]

I was looking at Sarah I think that she went on from 2006 and I was like Naww that's not the same voice I know and then I found this and awww yeaaa here comes the tears🥹 the OG Pokémon will forever be my Pokémon 🥹 Also I found out why I didn't like when dawn was introduced it was in 2006 when they all left 🥺

[@robertoXCX]

I'm sure Sarah does a really good job voicing Ash and has a lot of passion for her work. But I grew up with Ash being voiced by Veronica, and she's always going to be the "real" Ash to me. It totally destroyed my interest in the anime when the voice actors got changed because I was old enough to realize what had happened, and autistic enough to be too bothered by the change to continue watching the show, because everyone just sounded so wrong. The Pokemon Company screwed up bad not keeping the original actors and lost a viewer in me, but I'm glad that the franchise as a whole is still going strong and I still enjoy the games.

[@JustJesse197]

Watching this made me so happy! I laughed so hard when Veronica Taylor said, "I'm still 10" She is so funny! We love Veronica Taylor so much! She is the one and only Ash Ketchum ♥ (and May/Delia). All her Ash impressions here were spot on! I can still hear Ash in her normal talking voice. She's super talented. Eric Stuart, Rachael Lillis, Madeleine Blaustein, and Tara Sands made Pokemon the success that it is. It was a huge disservice to replace them. They made the characters come to life and they bring so much talent and emotion to each one of the characters they play. They are all amazing on Pokemon! I would love to attend one of their panels in real life and meet Veronica Taylor (the Legend!) one day. They make Pokemon Seasons 1-8, & Movies 1-7 memorable. I watched Pokemon from when the very first episodes aired on TV, and Veronica Taylor will always be the true Ash. My favorite episodes are when Team Rocket works with the "twerps" as they call them "Hoenn episode, "The Bicker the Better" ("I'm not a girl, May"-Ash) among others, and the battles in the Indigo League with Richie. My favorite battle in the series is the one between Gary's Umbreon and Alex Davis from Cherrygrove City's Alakazam (Power Play). Hopefully the original (and best) cast gets to come back one day!

[@AnimationMovies411]

Cool! I actually met Rachael and thanked her for her inspiration and influence at Tucson comic con last November. It was a lot awkward but very cool nevertheless! Thanks for the opportunity, Ms. Lillis! :)

[@tristangardner3889]

You met Rachael Lillis in person? I'd really like to meet her, Veronica and Eric and show them my voice of Meowth. My family says it sounds almost exactly like the original for the first eight seasons.

As for Eric's solo acoustic, we did not cover it due to a restriction by the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) association.

[@chelsearoy194]

Pokemon one do Original Engilsh Dubbed (4Kids) people know fact this panel was recorded between which are episodes that have my friendship Ash Misty Brock and Pikachu more visiting the Alola region relation of airing time where the main voice actors together. Reasons need these will then a villains from if Team Rocket only be Jessie, James and Meowth first could come your destiny has of Pokemon Master other games.

[@ConventionCoverage]

The voice actors probably did not know the panel occurred between the two episode arc where Misty and Brock was visiting Ash in the Alola region cause they don't follow the Pokemon series as much anymore, not to even note that it was the Japanese airtime. As we noted "The relation of the airing of the episodes and the date of the panel is purely coincidental." As for the staffs working in the room, we had a little private pre-day watch party just to chill before the con day started in the room.
