Oh ok. The original actress is the ash I will always enjoy! She was the voice for at least 400 episodes I believe. Wonder what happened?


tcpi aka The Pokemon Company International thought 4 kids knew nothing about the show and they wern't even trying anymore so they decided to take it away from them but they still wanted the voice actors but since they were licenced with 4 kids they couldn't only a few Va's from the original series joined the cast


And that is why now in America Pokemon is on Cartoon Network instead of UPN or the WB?

well wb is now cw4kids and it's owned by 4kids and cartoon network is assiocated with warner bros! but Pokemon does better on Cn then it would on free to air.

here is the ratings from the past weekend from Cynopsis Media

http://www.cynopsis.com/editions/kids/092311/

CARTOON NETWORK 1.6/8 Avg. (7a-1p)
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien 0.0/11; Star Wars: Clone Wars 1.5/10; Beyblade: Metal Masters 1.0/10; Pokemon: Black & White 2.4/11; Redaki: Conquer the Kairu 1.4/6; Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge 1.2/5; Johnny Test 1.4/6; Almost Naked Animals 1.3/6; Almost Naked Animals 1.2/6; The Looney Tunes Show 1.7/8; The Looney Tunes Show 2.4/12

and here is the ratings from the best weekend from CW4kids from Cynopsis media

CW (Toonzai) 0.7/3 Avg. (7a-12p)
Magi-Nation 0.2/2; Magi-Nation 0.5/4; Sonic X 0.8/5; Sonic X 0.8/4; Yu-Gi-Oh 0.8/3; Sonic X 1.0/4; Dragon Ball Z Kai 0.7/3; Dragon Ball Z Kai 0.6/3; Tai Chi Chasers 0.5/2; Yu-Gi-Oh 0.5/2

so CN Is a bit better of a choice

but Pokemom Suffers from a weak draw from beyblade so it take's the ratings down quite a bit but it still remains CN number 1 saturday morning show (even though it drew with looney tunes that was a marathon)

But Pokemon's tv ratings are Peaking Now it hasn't been going this well for years so putting the movie out in theatre's for a limited release is just testing how well it will do.
