Old Version

Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi (サトシ) for all appearances in Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. He was created by, and named after, Satoshi Tajiri and is the main protagonist of the Pokémon anime and one manga series, as well as on various merchandise related to the franchise. In Japanese, the character is voiced by Rica Matsumoto; in English, he was voiced by Veronica Taylor from 1998 until 2006 and the eighth season of the anime series, replaced by Sarah Natochenny for the remainder of the anime and Kayzie Rogers in The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon television special. His name is derived from the Japanese name and his English motto, Satoshi & "Gotta Catch 'Em All". Ash's dream is to become a Pokémon Master. Ash appears in Pokémon Park, Pokémon of Interest and PokéHarmony. Personally, let's face it. Since Ash Ketchum and other characters had replacing actors, they became more degrading and pathetic. Frankly, if anything, they should have kept their original voice actors (Or at least the ones who are still around) or the anime never would have lost most of it's popularity.  Recent episodes of Pokemon haven't been true to Ash Ketchum's experience before Black and White at all.  This has been pointed out on the MAD episode Pokemonsters, Inc.
