It’s been twenty-two years since the first Pokemon movie hit theaters in North America, becoming the biggest anime movie in the West and pitting both Ash Ketchum and Pikachu against the cloned force of nature known as Mewtwo and the original voice of the young protagonist, Veronica Taylor, shared her thoughts to celebrate the film’s anniversary. Having played the role of Ash for close to ten years with the English dub of the Pokemon anime, Taylor definitely has earned her place within the history of the franchise by introducing countless fans to the series over the years.

22 years?! It seems like yesterday. A life impacting movie for so many of us. A foundation for so many friendships. And it continues to connect us all today. ❤️My love and thanks to all you Pokémon trainers who make this world a better place.❤️#Pokemon #OriginalAsh #IChooseYou❤️ https://t.co/CbEINLAvTl
