4KIDS' license to the IP expired and Pokémon USA quickly stepped in to take over with their "cost-effective" approach to the dub. They might have offered stuff to the VAs but most of them likely didn't want a smaller paycheck.I still don't understand why she and the others were fired.
Carter was willing to work for peanuts, I believe, that's why he stayed and took up more roles. I believe the same was with Ted, and I have a theory Rachel was finding herself quietly blacklisted from dubs for some bizarre reason so she took up small roles before dropping off altogether. Since she's now gone, I don't think we'll ever know. Unless it was all medical-related leading up to her cancer, though ten years of nothing for medical reasons would've suggested something ominous long before cancer.What weirds me out about the change is how some VAs stayed on or came back later. I mean, Gary kept his same voice actor even after the switchup, Ted Lewis came back to voice Giovanni after a relatively short period and Rachel Lillis at least returned to voice a few characters.
