"NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY"

Don't you love it when companies treat Americans like idiots? Laughing Japan didn't need that warning.

I know she's two years older than in the anime, but why is Eileen Stevens (VA for Iris) voicing Bianca instead of the Anime VA Bella Hudson? You can totally tell it's Eileen. x.x

LISAAAAAAA ORTIZZZZZZZZZ!

I know it's only a commercial, but Sean Schemmel is a bit of a miscast there. A lot of a miscast.

Who is doing Cheren? The name is on the tip of my tongue.

The dub has always been miscast, it's nothing new for the franchise.

Gotta love how there's casting complaints about a 6 minute video clip Laughing

Personally I think it sounds fine other than Elesa's VA. Sounded wooden even by PUSA's standards.

Because that's Sarah Natochenny, who voices Satoshi/Ash in the current PUSA dub, so it's going to be horrible. Personally, I think it's an okay fit, certainly better than having Son Goku voice Hugh, but they could've done better with that. After all though, they're not gonna go all out for a six-minute clip.

I very much enjoyed Mei's dub casting. <3
What I enjoyed most was having translated dialogue. Whether I liked it or not, I don't care too much about who's in the cast.

*Sigh* I knew he dubbing would be crap Rolling Eyes . I really didn't expect nitendo to at least get a different cast to try to match up with the japanese but jeez that sounded bad N especcily.

The trailers were subbed like a day after they came out.

It's sad this isn't the actual anime instead of that complete shit-show they keep airing. The only people (mostly kids I would assume) don't know enough to realize how shit it is. Even this dub is 10x better than the actual show.

Gah, I cannot say enough bad things about the current pokemon anime.

You can't really say a 6 minute clip is better than a weekly anime that never takes any breaks. If you had to stretch out the story of the games over 3 years (well, Black/White + Black2/White2 would be 3 years) then you're obviously going to need fillers and stuff too.

As for the casting...yeah, it was horrible. Elesa was absolutely terrible - it was like she was just line reading; not acting at all.

Given how Pokemon is pretty big in the west, you'd THINK they could hire halfway decent VA's.

But apparently not.

Also why isn't the real anime this awesome

Uh, this trailer is more or less the same as the way the anime is, only with Kyouhei instead of Satoshi. Not sure why you're so upset.
