Kirck Allen, one of the lead producers of the Pokeverse Expo, shared his excitement: “We’ve had brilliant Pokémon-themed events in the country before, but Pokeverse is the first Pokémon-themed expo of its kind. It distinguishes itself from previous conventions and meet-ups by its unprecedented scale, design, and comprehensive offerings. We’re also thrilled to have Veronica Taylor, the beloved original voice actress of Ash Ketchum, and Jason Paige, the original singer of the Pokémon theme song “The Voice of a Generation as guests for our event—something that is a dream come true for most fans.”

Veronica Taylor, the iconic voice of Ash Ketchum, shares her journey:

 

“I was working on another anime called Slayers in English, and it just happens that the people who cast me in that were doing the casting for Pokémon. So, I auditioned for it, and there were many callbacks, and I happened to get the role. Even when I got it, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it, and it just kind of went on and on.

 

And I have to say, it’s one of the most challenging and joyful roles I’ve ever had. I love playing Ash; he was this ten-year-old normal boy who’s full of just courage and positivity. I think it changed my life because I think I took positivity for granted before this. But now I realized how important it is.

 

I mean, it changed my life. I get to travel now, Comic-Cons all over the world because people love, there’s something about Pokémon that people just love and identify with, and luckily, I can kind of be the bridge between their childhood and their memories, and their now. And then, you know, I can show up and they can tell me all about when they were watching the show, and it’s just a lovely exchange. It’s such an honor to be a part of people’s lives in this way.” Watch Veronica’s interview here : https://fb.watch/s9sMQIXEnq/

 

 

Jason Paige, the voice behind the unforgettable Pokémon theme song, reflects on his journey:

“Yeah. I, I can’t wait to meet you all and sing for you all and catch the Pokémon love. I’ve been hearing good things about the Pokémon scene in the Philippines for many years now. So, it’s a long time coming for me to get there and meet everyone.

 

Well, it’s changed my life more specifically in 2016 when Pokémon Go came out. I popped out of the Pokéball and greeted the adults (who were still children when it first came out). The children that grew up on Pokémon didn’t really know who sang the song. It wasn’t important who sang the song; it was only important that the song moved them. It’s like a great piece of art that you see on the wall. You don’t think about who painted that piece of art, you just see the art and experience the art, and that’s the beauty of it. So, these children then grow up and now as adults they realize somebody sang the song, and that was about in 2016 when they came of age and they started playing the song again on all these streaming services like Spotify and YouTube and Amazon music.

 

And then the media wanted to know who I was, and they looked me up because it’s not obvious. Look on the inside of the 2B Master CD and the tiny little spread at the end of the lyrics, who I was. And that’s when my life basically started being changed by the Pokémon love. It started being directed at me from the adults who lived wonderful childhoods inspired by Pokémon.” Invitation from Jason Paige himself on this like: https://www.facebook.com/reel/457311913503492
