i didnt like the accent but isnt there a discussion about this topic going on in the "Playing the Leveling Field" thread?
She did use french terms in the game, so I was kind of expecting the accent.
Bulbapedia said:Ohohoho!! Finally, you have arrived! Since I came to this country, always I try to learn new things. They hold Contests in this city? I say to myself, enfin, I will excel. That's why I dress this way. C'est une performance! Also I study Pokémon very much. I have come to be Gym Leader. And, uh, so it shall be that you challenge me. But I shall win. That's what a Gym Leader does, non?"
I would love to hear her in Japan-apparently there she speaks English. :D
Here, I got some clips of Melissa (Fantina) speaking in English in the Japanese version for you :) It has a few spoiler from the gym battle, but it's only a few clips that don't show much

yes there is...so this thread really didn't need to be made. but I like her accent, it makes it different rather than having the samething all the time. You just have to learn to experience new things and open your head to new cultures and such.
I wonder why she speaks some English in the Japanese show and no Japanese in the English?
