September 17, 2025Sep 17 To the editors at ComicBook.com,I am writing as a dedicated Pokémon fan with an idea I believe would resonate strongly with the community. With the 30th anniversary of the franchise approaching in 2026, many fans are thinking about how to best honor its rich history.I would like to suggest a fan-supported idea for a potential redub of the classic Pokémon anime. I believe a modern redub handled by a studio like Studiopolis could be a great way to celebrate the original series while introducing it to a new generation.This redub would maintain the familiar English names of characters and Pokémon, keeping that crucial sense of nostalgia. Most importantly, it would serve as a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of the 4Kids era voice actors, specifically Rachael Lillis and James Carter Cathcart, who made such a significant impact on our childhoods and who are now sadly no longer with us. The series could be dedicated to them in the credits as a sign of respect.To honor both versions of the anime, the redub could use English versions of the original Japanese opening and ending themes, bringing a fresh sound to the iconic melodies. The dialogue would be respectful, kid-friendly, and separate from the Pokémon Horizons continuity.Thank you for considering this fan-minded feedback. A project like this, timed for the 30th anniversary, would be a wonderful way to celebrate the legacy of Pokémon and the talented people who brought it to life for us.Sincerely,A Dedicated Fan
