OK, I\\\'ve been thinking on Pokemon (more specifically the Pokemon USA dub)\\\'s inclusion on this article, and it is actually pretty debatable on whether or not it truly deserves a spot there. Yes, I can agree that the change of dubbing companies is \\\"controversial\\\". Yes, I can agree that it is \\\"not as good as 4Kids\\\' acting\\\". However, I have heard much much MUCH worse dubs, making Pokemon\\\'s current dub pretty tame in comparison. I don\\\'t think that it is the \\\"best\\\" dub ever, but it\\\'s far from the worst. Yes, the PUSA dub is panned by some people, but not ALL people (I\\\'m talking about both Pokemon fans and non-fans). Yeah, it\\\'s not AS loved as 4Kids\\\' dub for sure, and even the fans of both dubs can admit that. It\\\'s not really \\\"universally\\\" or even \\\"near-universally\\\" panned, more like a BrokenBase cut in half at best, with one side being more rabidly vocal about it than the other. To me, it\\\'s \\\"fine\\\" at best, \\\"OK\\\" at worst. Don\\\'t love it, but I don\\\'t loathe it either (keep in mind my opinions on the 4Kids dub are much different from that and a little bit more positive). Having Ash\\\'s voice being described as a \\\"chain-smoking woman\\\" makes me imagine him being voiced by Naruto\\\'s \\\'\\\'WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow\\\'\\\' incarnation (himself being a constant smoking addict InUniverse), which honestly brings me a laugh, but I think in reality it\\\'s an exaggeration. Yes, Ash\\\'s current voice actor is no Creator/VeronicaTaylor for sure, but some don\\\'t think Sarah Natochenny is THAT bad, even if she can\\\'t live up to the previous actor\\\'s legacy. And as for the voices of the titular Pokemon creatures, I didn\\\'t particularly care about that anyway since [[PokemonSpeak all they can say is their own names anyway]] (making it a bit hard to relate, but not too much), only a select few actually having the ability to speak human language (be it through their mouths or telepathically). So I don\\\'t expect any of the voice actors of the (non human language-speaking) Pokemon creatures to put on a spectacular and mind-blowing performance on par with Shakespearean theater anyway since there is not much you can do with only saying one word ever and repeating it over and over, occasionally making a sound effect. I\\\'m leaving this up for discussion.
