PokeSpe English fancast!

These are the voices I usually try to imagine in my head whenever I read the manga! Some of these I came up with myself, others I just accepted after looking up videos of the same topic on YouTube. I also know most, if not all of these castings would be impossible, since some of the listed actors have aged out of the roles and others would not conceivably work for an anime.

Try these out whenever you next read the manga! And if you have any suggestions for voices you think fit better, feel free to tell me about it!

(Long post, so it’s under the cut!)

Red (Gen 1-2): Veronica Taylor (Original Ash Ketchum)

- Since they start out pretty similarly and are counterparts anyways, why not?

Red (Gen 3+): Bryce Papenbrook (Origins Red)

- I’m not a hardcore fan of the guy’s work, but he fits well enough and is easy to recall!

Blue (Gen 1-2): James Cathcart (Gary Oak)

- He definitely isn’t the best choice for his more edgy counterpart, so any generic shonen rival voice would also be just as good!

Blue (Gen 3+): Johnny Bosch (Origins Brock)

- Taken off a YouTube suggestion, I think this one’s pretty fitting!

Green (Gen 1-2): Tara Strong (Kitten Walker- Teen Titans)

- I think this one fits very well with Green’s cheeky and flirty personality!

Green (Gen 3+): Michelle Knotz (May- Pokemon AG)

- I feel Green could keep Tara Strong as her voice actress throughout, but I included this for equality in case anyone wanted to see!

Yellow: Laura Bailey (Maka Albarn- Soul Eater)

- Another YouTube suggestion which really impressed me! Laura has a lot of range, which is needed to play Yellow!

Gold (Gen 2-3): Maddie Blaustein (AJ- Pokemon episode 8)

- While his accent was a bit much, I like him as a spunky counterpart to Ash! Any better versions of a similar character would be appreciated!

EDIT: Now that I think about it, Ben Schwartz would actually be a good choice for Gold!

Gold (Gen 4+): Scott McCord (Dan Kuso- Bakugan)

- (YouTube suggestion) There’s probably many other voices that’d fit here too!

Silver: Julian Rebolledo (Paul- Pokemon DP)

- Any super-edgy anime guy would fit (I saw Sasuke as one suggestion and agreed), but I’m going with the closest existing Pokemon comparison!

Crystal: Janice Kawaye (XJ9, Ami Onuki, etc)

- I think Janice’s peppy voice and strong “voice of reason” tone would be perfect for Crystal!

Ruby (Gen 3): Scott Menville (Robin- Teen Titans)

- Scott’s capability of playing both a campy loon (Er... thanks, TTG?) and a young badass was what really motivated me to choose him!

Ruby (Gen 6+): Todd Haberkorn (Hikaru- Ouran Host Club)

- While I still think Scott could voice Ruby all the way, the many occurrences of Todd on other people’s list and the voice clips they provided convinced me to begrudgingly put him here for his sheer skill.

Sapphire: Carolyn Richards (Sandy Cheeks, Cindy Vortex, etc)

- I think she would pull off Sapphire’s tough attitude, southern (?) accent and semi-tsundere nature based on the two roles listed above!

Emerald: Tara Strong (Ben Tennyson- Ben 10)

- Maybe I’m biased because he also has the green and #10 motif, but I think Ben 10′s voice would be a perfect for a spunky little kid like Emerald! I don’t think most usual anime dub voices would fit him very well otherwise...

Diamond: Zach Eisen (Avatar Aang)

- For a pure boi like Diamond, I think he’d 100% need an actual kid actor voicing him. And for ease of imagination, the rest of the Sinnoh Trio’s voices will also line up with the Gaang’s, because they actually fit quite well!

Pearl: Jack DeSena (Sokka)

- Barry’s voice also fits really well since the two are almost identical characters, but this works pretty well, too!

Platinum: Mae Whitman (Katara, many other roles)

- I think Mae Whitman’s impressive repertoire of wise and strong girl characters speaks for itself. For more anime-oriented folks, I’ve also seen the great Christina Vee on other people’s suggestions!

Black: Michael Reisz (Takuya- Digimon Frontier)

- For the longest time I imagined Black played by Yuri Lowenthal, but when I saw Michael’s voice clips from a YouTube suggestion, they immediately won me over!

White: “Miss Paradox Space” (White, PokeSpe BW Fandub)

- While certainly not the most professional actress on this list, hearing her in the YouTube fandub series for the manga was a great pleasure! She has a very unique voice that fits the role very well! If you know a similar and better actress, make sure to tell me about her!

Blake: Yuri Lowenthal (Sasuke Uchiha, teen Ben Tennyson, Mercury Black, etc)

- Similar to Scott Menville as Ruby but more adult, Yuri has the range of playing both a badass and a dweeb (for Blake’s campy playboy facade.)

Whitley: Haven Paschall (Serena- Pokemon XY)

- Haven’s amazing skill at conveying “sweet anime girl experiencing despair” was what led me to choose her for this role!

X: Mike Erwin (Speedy- Teen Titans)

- I know there are many roles that fit better than this, so let me hear them! Personally I never liked that X and Y were aged down for the manga, so my choice here might be a bit biased.

Y: Ashley Johnson (Ellie- The Last of Us, many many other roles)

- One of the best tough girl voices for one of the toughest Dex Holders!

Sun: Jacob Hopkins (Original Gumball Watterson)

- It was super-tough deciding whether or not to give Sun a kid actor or not (I was dead-set on Ben Schwartz for a while) but I think this probably fits? Gumball’s personality of a well-meaning kid with a slightly askew moral compass should work well for Sun! Any better suggestions?

Moon: Kimiko Glenn (Peni Parker, Lena DeSpell, etc)

- Kimiko’s voice really fits a friendly and composed yet badass girl like Moon!

KUHNS: SWAMP RABBITS WEEKLY #25

The season comes to an end in Norfolk this week BY: Jordan Kuhns, Greenville Swamp Rabbits GREENVILLE, SC - This week, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits hosted one last homestand at The Well over the past week. The team picked up the victory in front of over 7,000 raucous fans on Friday night. A desperate Jacksonville Icemen club came to Greenville in search of coming one step closer to locking up a Kelly Cup playoff spot. They did just that by playing another textbook defensive game. The final three games against Jacksonville were decided by 2-1 scores. A quick strike by Kamerin Nault put the good guys on the right path just 1:56 into the game. But during the only power play of the game, Jacksonville tied the game and picked up the game-winner late in the second period. It was a rare game in which one team did not receive a power play. Friday night saw 7,377 fans pack into the Bon Secours Wellness Arena and cheer the Swamp Rabbits to one of the most entertaining victories of the season. It took a dramatic turnaround—Orlando wiping away a two-goal lead—to make it more entertaining. But an outstanding passing play saw Austen Brassard notch the game-winning goal 36 seconds into the third period to help seal the deal against Orlando. Kyle Hayton made 32 saves in the win as well for the Swamp Rabbits. Sunday saw Orlando grab hold of the lead three times. The Swamp Rabbits erased it twice to tie the game, but the third time was the charm for the visiting Solar Bears, who had clinched a playoff spot the night prior in Charleston. Orlando utilized another multi-point game from Otto Somppi, who posted nine shots on goal, to help give them the 5-2 win. Danny Perez notched his first pro goal in his first pro game in the losing effort. 3/28 vs. Jacksonville Icemen - L 2-1 3/29 vs. Orlando Solar Bears - W 4-2 3/31 vs. Orlando Solar Bears - L 5-2 FAMILY DENTAL HEALTH PLAYER OF THE WEEK Zach Franko - 3 GP | 2 G - 1 A - 3 P A relative newcomer to the lineup, Zach Franko helped the Swamp Rabbits to a victory on Friday night at The Well. He posted two goals and an assist, including the opening goal, and the insurance tally into the empty net. Franko has five points in nine games with the Swamp Rabbits, as opposed to just three points in nine games with Idaho. RABBIT TAILS It took four starts, but Kyle Hayton picked up his first win as a Swamp Rabbit on Friday night. His 2.54/.917 split is the best in his ECHL career across the three teams he has played with since his college career came to an end at Wisconsin. The Swamp Rabbits saw another key player depart over the week. Forward Thomas Ebbing signed a PTO, or a Professional Tryout Agreement, with the Laval Rocket of the AHL. Ebbing spent most of the year in Laval last season. However, the past week also saw the return of a familiar face to the lineup. For the first time since December 28, defenseman Trevor Owens saw game time on both Thursday and Sunday after his activation off of injured reserve. Captain Michael Pelech is six points away from tying his career high in points (65). His 44 assists are five away from his previous career high, 49, set during the 2011–12 season where he split with the Toledo Walleye and Cincinnati Cyclones. He ranks 12th in overall ECHL scoring. The weekend saw a point of emphasis in improvement for next season arise. The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have allowed 19 shorthanded goals against, which leads the league. The Swamp Rabbits finished with a better home record this season (13-19-4), than last (11-20-5), and allowed 37 fewer goals against at The Well. They also had a significantly improved penalty kill (79.9%) at home this season than last (73.2%).

[clauncher]

I can't get over fuckin ludicolo's animation my god haha

sorry for shitty video :/

[clauncher]

So I was battling on wifi and this guy super sets up using a blaziken and swords dance to get super crazy speed and power, which he then passed to his garchomp, which then mega evolved

I had just my flygon sitting out there the whole battle, fucking up with stopping him because I'm bad. Finally his megachomp makes an attack and... he used earthquake. against my flygon. My levitating flygon. It missed. My dragon claw proceeded to OHKO the garchomp. 

Never saw a faster rage quit in my life lmao

[clauncher]

Finished training/raising my team and have done 3 battles so far and am 2/3 :D

Won one with literally 17hp left on my last guy haha 

[clauncher]

Sorry for the crappy quality, but my shiny abra has officially graduated to the rank of shiny mega alakazam!!! :D

Also you can't tell with the beard, but his stomach is literally just a stick

[clauncher]

I just finished the looker storyline and it was super cute and really sad at the end and I want the Pokemon Z or whatever game to just be all about Looker and Emma now o:

[clauncher]

Kinda silly but I'm doing the looker quest and suddenly RANDOM JAPANESE out of nowhere haha, but I feel cool because I can read it all and understand most of what's being said :D

[clauncher]

Further update: according to my purple-haired friend in kiloude, my shiny croagunk, abra, and skiddo also all have those unbeatable stats

looks like I'm gonna make an all shiny super team haha

[clauncher]

So the guy in Kiloude says pumpkaboo has the "stats that can't be beat!" so looks like if I want, I could train it for my team :D

gourgeist has a BST of 494, so I think it's not a bad option to consider c:

[clauncher]

OMIGOSH AHHHH SHINY PUMPKABOO!!!

Ahhhh it took over [REDACTED] eggs to hatch but I got a shiny pumpkaboo!!!

Also she has a quirky nature and possibly pretty good IVs so :D

[clauncher]

I really like croagunks pose cause it looks like he's gonna shake my hand but he'd probably just poison jab to the guy but anyway yea I got this guy! :D

[clauncher]

YAYYYY!!!! I'm really really thrilled to finally have a shiny skiddo! it took me the last like, 6 hours of (mostly failed) chaining to get him, but it finally happened :D

[clauncher]

Second shiny basculin I've encountered, second shiny basculin to commit suicide rather than join me >:c

[clauncher]

Cool things I just learned/noticed:

when you get your pokemon healed at the pokecenter now, the pokeballs that appear on the healy thing change based on what balls your pokemon are in

so like, my abra's masterball showed up. That's pretty neat
