I want to get your opinion on the recasting issue that happened starting from season 9 or Battle Frontier. Apparently, the rights of broadcast went from 4Kids to Pokemon USA. As far as I've read the statements from the original cast and the comments from a lot of fans, it was a "terrible mistake".
As a result of this unfortunate incident, a group of fans formed the SOVA or Save Our Voice Actors organization. So far, the battle still continues but I think there won't be any recasting done for the seasons to come.

^ the recasting happened ages ago now. Why bother to bring it up?
Sure, it was sad that the cast who had been voicing these characters we love for so long was let go in the first place, but the new voice actors do a perfectly wonderful job, and before someone says otherwise, just know, you'd say the same thing had PUSA had the rights and then they went to 4Kids. People would be griping about Veronica's new Ash voice rather than Sarah's.
Annnyway, like I said, whether or not PUSA eventually recasts some of the characters (which I frankly don't see the point in) or not, what contreversy is there now exactly? Right--there isn't one, only some people STILL not okay with the cast. That's honestly what's left of it--whining fans.

I'm sad that they did replace the original voices of pokemon but there really much we can do but complain.

I brought it up because SOVA's demand for the restoration of the original cast still continues up to this point. If all hope was lost, then this organization should've dissolved ages ago.

Well, remember, Ted Lewis recently guested as Giovanni's voice, a voice he did hold BEFORE season 9. Now, that just means there's something fishy, since its acclaimed that the VA's all signed something like a bulk contract.

A bulk contract? What are you trying to imply, then?

I'm sure they were contracted, but I'm fairly certain that those types of contracts end after a couple of years. Then they can move on to work for whoever/wherever they want to. |

Even if they WOULD come back, what's the point? I mean, then we havta get used to the old voices ALL over again. Imo, SOVA's just being a bunch of dumbass's who are fighting a loosing battle.

Once a company decides something, it's done. Fans are just audiences that they perform for, they don't really care. They just give a "mature announcement", but what they're really saying is "We've already done this, so shut up and get used to it".

So there must be a greater reason why they're still continuing the fight. I mean, they're not really stupid to know that they can't do anything to change it, right?

Well there is always the pokemon Usa to complain to about the voices. you can find it on SOVa's website or Veronicas offical website.

Jeez, it's like a ransom demand. Give me the original Pokemon cast or give me death.

Then they can die, they're fighting a lost cause. They're just mad cause they don't wanna get used to our 'new' voice actors. There is no greater reason, just them being a bunch of whiners about it.

I guess all we can do now is to get used to the new voices.
