But...what's up with the logo on Ash's hat? :/ That's not the right one!

Nice article! I didn't know about the older Misty thing... Now I gotta watch that! I hope the new movie ends up being good anyway...

I was going to include the video in the article but I couldn't find one that was "clean". Though I will link it here. I am surprised you didn't know about this one.

I am going to guess they are going to try to tie it into the current look that Ash has. That way this Ash looks familiar to the kids who are watching it now and can related to the kids.

Oh man, I didn't even notice that! That sucks!

Wow! It looks kinda familiar. it's probably something I knew back in my pokeshipping days xD That's crazy though, I wonder how that possibly could fit into the first movie!

Maybe they decided to update it like they did with Pikachu. Else, they would have had to make Pikachu fat again

That's not true. Pikachu's design was updated with the times as the drawing/animation got better, but they totally changed the logo. That's like giving Pikachu a different shaped tail from a lightning bolt. xD

Characters' voices/actors have always been a huge deal to me, even as a kid, and when they changed it around when I was, I dunno, 12? I just spat the dummy and couldn't handle it. xD The worst thing is that the new ones try to be like the old ones, which...just doesn't work. I don't like the way Jessie's new voice actor is because she's just not nearly as good as Racheal Lillis. And I always adored James' voice. XD Meowth's is understandable since his voice actor died quite a while ago now, but there are still plenty of people out there who can do a much better Moewth impression than the person they have now. I dunno. Changing actors has never sat right with me. xD

I CAN watch it in Japanese but I feel a little disconnected since I watched it for so many years in English before ever watching it in Japanese. Other animes that I start in Japanese are obviously fine, but yeah, not ones I switch over to. Same as if I started in Japanese and switched to English. xD

What did you think of the Victini movie? I absolutely hated it. xD It was so bad. But you didn't mention it in this article so I'm curious.

I would admit that the voices were a little rough at first when the change just happen. Part of that was them trying to sound like sound-a-likes while the other part was the actors not finding their voice. Though eventually they dropped trying to sound like the old voices and just found their voice for the character. It also help that they started to adopt the script better compare to 4Kids. James especially sounded better compare to what his old actor was saying.

I have never watched the anime in Japanese. First of all, there is no way to watch it without supporting unofficial sources. Second, mostly what you said.

I have never watched any of the Gen5 movies. That is because I took a break during that generation from watching the anime. I felt like the anime was maybe it's worst with how the writers were writing Ash and the Rocket Trio.

The reason why I didn't mention any of the Gen5 movies was because I haven't seen the Gen5 movies. So I couldn't rightfully compare the final versions of the movies to the early production trailers that came out in February/March. It would be unfair for me to mention them in the article when I haven't even watched them. The trailers looks nice and I can see some of the early production traits that they do with the movies but I can't tell you if those things made it into the final cut.

My thoughts on the Victini movies based on what little I have seen and heard from other sources are not good. Both versions of the Vicitini sound horrible. They were just the lowest form of cash grab by using a cheap gimmick that overall looked bad. The story sounded simple and could have been done better if they hadn't wasted time making two movies that were exactly the same except for a few Pokemon.

If I had seen the movie then I may have mention it in the article but overall I think the Zoroark movie was a better use.
