I watched as much of the 33 hour Pokemon marathon as possible. The only episodes I skipped were the BF episodes because we want the ratings to drop sharply on the BF episodes compared to the other 8 seasons.
It was just wonderful seeing the best of the sagas, and some of the best preformances from the old cast. This is exactly why SOVA must succeed.
I don't know how people can even stomach the Battle Frontier episodes! The characters all sound like gay infants.
I hope the ratings were AWFUL for those episodes, then Cartoon Network will see that SOVA means business, and will put the pressure to TAJ to get rid of the lame voices and get the real actors back.
I call cartoon network everyday, I mostly get the answering system and recordings, but I leave my message each time. "We will not watch Pokemon anymore"
EDIT: I just realized something... I think we've been had... looking at the ratings for the Marathon, they are not broken down into seasons... the whole marathon was rated together. That way the drop off from the BF episodes didn't even count! I just realized what Cartoon Network is doing. They are not counting the two dubs as seperate series... good ratings for the episodes with the original cast is counting as good ratings for Pokemon period. BF and all! So by watching the Advanced Battle reruns, we were giving good ratings to all of "Pokemon" Including BF... I have to wonder, if we stopped watching Pokemon period, and the ratings dropped, maybe Cartoon Network would get panicked and take our demands more seriously... I don't think many fans would follow that idea though...
But I think we still make a huge mark with out calls! So even if Cartoon Network has it fixed so all ratings for Pokemon are under the same hat. We are still making our demand loud and clear! We will have Pokemon back to the way it was!
