Good news regarding Rachael Lillis! Please read!

Don't forget guys, sometimes she has issues with her AOL account so she may or may not get them.

I emailed her a week ago and she still hasn't replied.

Give her time. She might be busy with voice acting and such. Heck, I emailed her about 5 months ago and never got a reply. She says that she can't reply to every email she gets.

If you really wanna get a response back from Veronica, it might be a good idea to post a message on her Guestbook. ^^

I did that the last time I emailed Veronica, and shortly afterwards, I got a response from her.


Anyway, I'm gonna send an email to Veronica tonight! Or, if I don't get a chance tonight, then I'll email her tomorrow. ^^

Sorry for my absence as of late, it's been a long story, but, regarding some of the things I've read...

1. A redub is highly unlikely. That would cost money. Money PUSA probably wouldn't want to part with just to make a few fans happy.

2. Pokebeach is mostly TCG related, site and forums wise. I doubt most of the posters would give a flying Rattata's ass.

3. WPM DID give us some problems in the past, but we managed to chase him off/get him banned pretty quickly when he did, and he mysteriously eased up on us after a while, even giving us advice, so unless he's getting in flamewars with Serebii, he's mostly harmless anymore. Stop using him as our whipping boy, you guys.

There. I've said my piece. Any further questions, forward them to Neku over PM.

Oh no.. What if Rachael doesn't play the role of Misty. The newer person who plays her voice sounds terrible and sounds like the new may bleh.. But what if.. *just a thought* They hired Rachael to play as misty's voice in the future because misty will return in Ash's team and that will be the last of the anime! NOOOO I NEVER want the pokemon anime to end!

I saw the Japanese trailor for the 11th movie, so I don't think Misty will be returnung any time soon because she wasn't in it.

Yeah, I mean how long was this cruise around the world suppose to take. I mean this is the 5th year without Misty! I can't imagine that it'd take this long for Misty's sisters to come back from their trip.

We know from one of the last 4Kids episodes (as well as the numerous HoSo's) that the cruise has long since ended. Misty is now the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, which is the best place for her to be in order to achieve her dream.

Quite frankly, I'm glad she's stuck there. But that's beside the point.

Ah, well, that makes sense then. But I'm so far behind on Pokemon that it'll take forever to catch up. XD!!

I agree, I stopped watching on Battle Frontier and skimmed through some episodes, but I still have no idea what is going on now.

I just watch the Japanese version but I started watching season 11 cause I wanted to see how different it would after switching recording studios and the new director.

OMG I could not agree with you more!!!!!

that Michelle Knotz really destroyed her, along with may. When i watched MOMP, i wanted to kill myself. God, I really really wish Misty could return. however after reading what Shane put, i guess its not happenning. I don't know about you, but i am really heartbroken lol.

If the WPM interview is the truth. Misty is never returning to Ash's team for good. She will just keep having small cameos.

And watch it with the overdramatazation... we don't need more SOVA members claiming to want to kill themselves over the change... we have enough of an image problem as it is.

I honestly am really heartbroken too. I absolutely love Misty, and Rachael's voice for her was perfect. In fact, I think Misty's voice is my favorite female voice in any animated show, period. It's really sad to know that she will apparently never return for good =(

New campaign? Eheh..

There is actually already the beginnings of a campaign to bring Misty back.

Maybe we should try and get together a group? (we could even try and get Rachael Lillis in on it)

Err... No offense, but we've got a better chance of SOVA working than a "bring back Misty" campaign... but if there's a petition somewhere, I'll sign it.

May sounded like an old lady. Michelle Knotz is great voice actress but she is not the right person for the role. Rachael Lillis is the right person for Misty and Jessie. I'm sorry that Misty isn't coming back. After DP, wow a new female character.

That's the same kinda thing the naysayers say about SOVA, and look at how wrong they are.

That happened at BMGf and it caused a flamewar in the Hall Of Shame: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=29059

I saw a petition somewhere too (that I signed like 3 times). I'll try to see if I can find it.

lol i would love to join a bring back misty campaign
but more importantly, have Rachael Lillis voice her.

Um, no offense to any Misty fans, but....getting her back on Pokemon doesn't have anything to do with SOVA. Actually, the Japanese writers are the ones who decide which characters stay and which characters don't stay. So if you're concerned about Misty, you'll have to find some way of contacting The Pokemon Company in Japan. Good luck with that, lol. XD

Getting back on topic, I read WPM's interview and I was very glad to find out that the Japanese staff of Pokemon (at least one of the storyboad artists) hates the fact that the original cast was replaced. He was pretty much disgusted by it! That's great news for us, to hear that the Japanese staff feels the same way that we do! ^_^

You know what, it's just as I thought, they really care about voice actors in Japan. It is a shame how US companies don't feel the same way about VAs. They just replace them, like it's nothing. You know, Pokemon USA could really learn a lot from the people who work on the Japanese version of Pokemon.

Actually, I have to agree with Lisa on this one. Getting Misty back on Pokemon doesn't have anything to do with SOVA. However, if she does return on the show and Rachael Lillis doesn't voice her, then by all means it's definitely related to SOVA!

Yeah i really hope word gets to japan about the change who knows maybe their boss's can tell usa how rude it was to replace the voice actors in the first place.

Oh, yes. Let's all start a "Save Our Misty Branch" so Kuroshi (or whoever our spy is) has ONE MORE THING to use against us and prove how "delusional" we are. Unfortunately, RG, there's one big problem with the naysayers, and that is that they are assholes who get their kicks tearing down other people. The last thing we want to do is provide them more amusement.

Really, now. The chances of getting Misty back on the show are slim. The guy even said in the WPM interview that to the Pokemon writers, female sidekick characters are more or less fanservice because you can dress them up and that's why they change them every region. Misty was a great character (well, up to Master Quest, IMO- she got a bit Mary Sue-ish that season for my tastes), but she's gone and well, there's not much we can do there. It's best if we just stay focused on the VAs and forget about trying to get back past characters. I mean, I love Professor Sebastian to death and there's probably lots of people who want HIM back, but that's in the hands of the writers, so I'm not going to go starting a petition for him.
