Dear Pokemon USA,
    I am writing to tell you how very upset I am that all of the Pokemon voice actors were replaced. You, obviously, don't care that they have been replaced, but us fans do. We are the ones that watch the show and it pains me to hear the new voice actors. I really do miss they're old voices. I am definatley not saying that the new voice actors are terrible, but I am saying that with new voices the characters just don't seem to be themselves anymore. When, Ash opens his mouth to speak, now that Veronica Taylor isn't doing his voice, it's as if he is a puppet. Well, cartoon characters are like puppets anyway, but at least when the old voice actors did the voices they were more real...they fit in with the characters, they fit in with there personalities as well.

    With the new voice actors, I can't even watch the new episodes. It's just when I turn the TV on and here it, I have to turn it back off. I miss watching it, and I know it's my fault for missing so many episodes, but it's been unbearable for me. It's like my closest friends had went to sleep one night and woke up with new voices. Because I've been watching Pokemon since the beginning, is is just like the characters are "friends".

    Maybe you're thinking that me, and other Pokemon fans, are making a big deal out of this. But we just cannot sit here and let the Pokemon voices be changed forever. A huge majority of us truly miss the old voices and we have to take a stand for what we believe in.

    Please consider re-hiring the old voice actors.

	Sincerely,
	Samantha J.
