A suggestion for the 30th anniversary of Pokémon: A classic anime redub

Featured Replies

Hello,

I'm writing to you today as a long-time fan of Pokémon to respectfully suggest an idea for the franchise's 30th anniversary. I believe a high-quality redub of the original classic Pokémon anime, produced by a studio like Studiopolis, would be a fantastic way to celebrate.

My vision for this redub would be to:

  • Keep the established English character and Pokémon names.

  • Use the original Japanese opening and ending songs, but with English credits and an English logo. New English singers for the songs could also be a nice touch.

  • Ensure the dialogue is clean, kid-friendly, and free of inappropriate language or swearing, maintaining the show's classic, wholesome tone.

  • Keep the show's content and scenes appropriate for a young audience, without any unnecessary or inappropriate changes.

  • Bring in a new voice cast to give the classic episodes a fresh feel.

  • As a special tie-in bonus, it would be great to see a new episode centered around Charicific Valley, with a talented voice actor like Erica Lindbeck voicing Liza.

I believe this project would be a respectful homage to the original series while also being a fresh and exciting experience for both new and old fans.

Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion.

Sincerely,

A Pokémon Fan

I like these updates and agree it’d be a fun way to celebrate the 30th (and get a new generation exposed to the originals).

I dig the voice casting suggestion. Any others you’d fan cast?

Yes. I’d think Colleen O’Shaughnessey might be Ritchie.

That’s an awesome suggestion! A 30th anniversary redub would be a perfect way to reintroduce classic Pokémon moments to new fans while honoring the originals. We’ve actually explored similar nostalgia-driven character revivals on our site it’s amazing how refreshed storytelling can reignite fan passion.

They do like the Studiopolis redub?
