Pokemon Voice Compare - Looker

In the Pokemon anime, Looker is played by Jason Griffith. While his voice isn’t the most distinctive, even slipping into his Shadow the Hedgehog at times, the performance more than makes up for it. Griffith portrays the friendly, witty and caring personality. But also with a dutiful serious side as well. Overall, Jason Griffith does great work once again, giving another solid performance.
In Generations, Looker is played by Kanji Tang, in a more serious portrayal. While in my opinion, the character wasn’t as compelling in Generations: Kaiji Tang is known for playing serious roles well. Considering the spotty voice direction that went into the series of shorts, Tang gives a solid performan...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Saturn

Просмотров 10514 дней назад

Both actors (from the anime and Masters) work well for commander Saturn’s cunning, determined and perfectionist personality. In the anime and Arceus Chronicles, Saturn is played by Marc Thompson. He may be overused especially in the TPCI era of the anime, but Thompson is fun to listen to as always. Especially in Arceus Chronicles, where we get to see more of his range. Sounding more passionate,...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Jupiter

In the Diamond and Pearl anime, commander Jupiter was played by Eileen Stevens. Who I think set the bar quite well. She did a pretty good job at capturing Jupiter’s determined and cool-headed, yet egotistical and spiteful personality. I also like how Stevens distinguishes her voice from Iris and Lyra, her elegant and mysterious voice fits the character well. Overall, Eileen Stevens gives a soli...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Mars

Both actors (from the anime and Masters) work well for commander Mars’ bratty, immature and hot-headed personality. In the anime and Arceus Chronicles, Mars is played by Lisa Ortiz. While her voice is very recognisable, hearing Ortiz get to play a villain is a refreshing change of pace for her. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Her youthful voice fits Mars like a glove, and she gives a solid per...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Riley

Both actors do a good job as the aura master Riley. They get down his caring, level headed yet brave and passionate personality. Marc Diraison, playing Riley in the anime, does well despite being in a rough era for the TPCI dub. Diraison sounds the more friendlier, peaceful protector of the two, which makes sense given Riley’s ethical sensibilities. But he could also command authority and tough...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Zinnia

Просмотров 15814 дней назад

Vivian Lu’s take doesn’t sit right with me. With Zinnia being the last Lorekeeper of an ancient race, it would be tempting to give her a mature voice, but whether it was the direction or her Masters EX characterisation; it feels unfitting. Zinnia is the youngest and most inexperienced descendant of the Draconids. Committed various crimes in episode Delta, would make fun of everyone around her, ...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Lisia

Просмотров 34014 дней назад

This voice compare is in the same park as Koga and Roxie. Both of the actors played Lisia perfectly! They both nail Lisia’s bubbly, fun-loving and passionate personality. In the Journeys anime, Lizzie Freeman really made the most of the role in her one episode, her performance was very charming and solid as the contest idol. I don’t have any problems with her performance at all. Freeman was pre...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Anabel

Просмотров 24614 дней назад

Voice compares like these are interesting to me as we have the same character in two different circumstances. In TPCI’s anime English dub, the Salon Maiden Anabel was played by Hilary Thomas. You don’t need to have the ability to sense thoughts to see why Thomas was cast as Anabel. The voice is pleasant to listen to, it fits Anabel’s calm demeanour well. One major problem for me however is that...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Brandon

Просмотров 11014 дней назад

In TPCI’s anime English dub, Craig Blair played The Pyramid King. Blair has received his fair share of criticism not just for Brandon but his acting as a whole in the anime, myself included. And yet, Brandon is one of Craig Blair’s better roles. He has Brandon’s strong willed personality down, and his voice is actually pretty close to what I imagine Brandon sounding like. He can sound pretty st...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Greta

Просмотров 4314 дней назад

In TPCI’s anime English dub, Greta was played by Shannon Conley. Battle Frontier marked a transitional phase for the English dub, just starting to find its feet and it showed. Conley was miscast as Greta for me. Sounding too old and raspy. She was clearly trying, but overall not the best fit for the character. In Pokemon Masters, Greta is played by Anairis Quinones. I was pleasantly surprised a...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Matt

Просмотров 191Месяц назад

In Pokemon Generations, team Aqua admin Matt was played by Richard Epcar. Matt didn’t get much to say and Epcar not much to do, but he did give at least some personality to the tough, dutiful henchman. He was serviceable. In Masters, Matt is played by Mike Smith. Smith delivers a fine performance, though it could sound stiff at times. But, he had more to work with, has more variation and feels ...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Courtney

Просмотров 383Месяц назад

In Pokemon Generations, Courtney was played by Sandy Fox. I’m not a fan of Fox’s take personally, she felt at least misdirected. Her voice was a little too high pitched for me, and the performance too expressive for a character who is meant to sound reserved and almost robotic. I will say Fox had the right idea, sounding cutesy and even creepy at times, but the execution is what let her down. O...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Shelly

Просмотров 380Месяц назад

Editor's Thoughts: In the Pokemon Advanced Generation English dub, the team Aqua commander was played by Erica Schroeder. Shelly had a cool spy element to her character in the anime that I remember fondly, and Schroeder does a very fine job. Conveying her cunning, self-assured yet caring personality well. I also liked the back and forth Schroeder’s Shelly had with Greg Abbey’s Tabitha (Abbey an...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Tabitha

Editor's Thoughts: In the Pokemon Advanced Generation English dub, the team Magma commander was played by Greg Abbey. I understand his performance may be a turn off to some people due to the character’s recent re-design, which is still a shame. It’s pretty good. Abbey made Tabitha sound competent, grounded and even intelligent, without devolving into a stereotypical cartoon villain. Overall, Gr...

Pokemon Voice Compare - Chuck

Просмотров 198Месяц назад

Editor's Thoughts: Both Dan Green and Bob Carter are pretty solid as the fighting gym leader and master of focus: Chuck. Dan Green’s voice has also got more gruff and booming in Journeys, and it sounds great! In terms of who I think is the definitive voice? Bob Carter sounds more distinct in Pokemon related media (Dan Green has played four gym leaders, Chuck, Norman, Wattson and Byron), that's ...
