>>53430989Really sad, and obvious proof it’s internal favoritism there. She’ll always be the original voice for the character in English, though, iconic as Ash. It truly makes me wonder why Taylor is still so enthralled and looking at Pokémon events to this day (though she clearly watches the Japanese version and not the dub now because she commented on what happened with Ash’s win well before the dub is even close to it in JN and also SM lmao). Ironic she went from the English dub to the Original Japanese Version in a way herself like many fans, heh.
While Natochenny didn’t really do it for me and most do agree despite being the longest lasting she wasn’t the best one, I do feel a bit sad seeing her torn up about Ash leaving. Of course you get attached to a role voicing it for so long, she unlike TPCi is respectful towards her predecessor’s work so it proves the VAs are on much better terms with each other than before even if the companies still holds a grudge with each other.
