In more detail, Jamie Davyous Owens, the voice of Officer Jenny, said in her blog (back in April 25, 2006): "Well, I've finally received notice that 4Kids will no longer be recording Pokemon. I don't know if that means they will be recasting completely, but I do know I am contracted so that I cannot do a Pokemon voice outside of 4Kids for at least two years from the end of the contract- so I won't be Officer Jenny in future episodes." Her website (which has the blog): http://www.jamiedavyous.com/home.html
In other words, Pokemon USA can't hire the voice actors because 4Kids is not allowing Pokemon USA to hire the voice actors due to the contract. |
You got to be kidding me?! TWO YEARS?! Sheesh, just scratch a chalkboard by my ear then, this is going to be a disaster! I thought enduring 6 years of misery watching my NFL team do poorly, but Pokemon be lucky to even last if PUSA don't get the renewal for 2007-2008 because POkemon ratings will take a big dive. That's not right to have my precious Jenny sound like Mike SEaver meeting the pretty girl with the bad voice! Poor JEnny and JOy, just sad now!
I am feeling like Brock now. Must go in my corner and sulk.
Looks like Pokemon on CN will be 'memories' to hear HOenn's 8 and 9th season.
