Instead of simply rotating the actors for Pokemon Live, they insisted on using the same specific actors for every showing per country. This resulted in actual crunch during a time period where it was unusual.
Misty and James's actors reported hiding backstage together and weeping between shows.
Traveling the country to continue the shows, during a time period when not all adults had cellular phones, they had no time to spend with friends and barely a chance to interact with their loved ones. They were tired, stressed, and lonely throughout the skits.
Misty's actress did not have to fake the scenes when she was sad or angry because she was sad and angry throughout the entire run of Pokemon Live.
At some point the show was discarded. An individual exploring abandoned theaters 14 years later found the discarded remains of a pokemon live show, as if it was abandoned during setup and never touched again..
