    Well, the Japanese one has a clear advantage. Like 20+ full years of experience! And she'll literally have a job until the day she dies. We can all only be envious of such job security.

    FIRST OF ALL

    HOW DARE YOU

    I'm kidding, I only say that because I love both of them, specifically because they both voice Satoshi.

    I used to love Veronica's Ash, but to be honest, side by side, I prefer Rika's.

    I think her Satoshi voice is sometimes deeper, and sounds cooler than Veronica's. In that way Sarah's current Ash is really closer to the original!

    I like Rica the most. Veronica did a fine Ash as well. Haven't watched much of the dubbed anime with Sarah but she sounds decent.

  • Considering Sarah voiced Ash during Sinnoh and Kalos(two regions arguably considered to be the best), you have to admit that between the two English VA?s that Sarah has a slight edge. Overall though, Rica is going to win hands down for longevity, consistency and the fact the Japanese dub is just better.

    Isn't it Rika with a K, by the way?

    Just checked, nevermind. Honestly never seen that spelling before.

  • I've been used to hear Sarah as Ash's voice so my vote goes to her. Rika comes in a close second though.

  • I Prefer his polish Voice Actress - Hanna Kinder-kiss, everytime i hear polish Angelo i say "oh look it's Ash!"

    BTW Does Ash is voiced by a man in other countries? Here in poland in session 10, Ash was voiced by Grzegorz Drojewski (the voice of TT's and TTG's Robin)
