My problem with Misty's voice being by Michelle Knotz is that it doesn't sound enough like Misty did and sound too similar to May's voice. I couldn't help but think of May every time Misty spoke. I don't understand why they didn't get the original voice of Misty back since she's worked for this dub company in the past.
At least try and sound like the original voice, nothing against the voice actress but she's not able to do different voices from what it seems, she does one voice and that's May's, every character she plays sounds like May. I don't mind the actors doing multiple characters, especially minor characters, in fact, I think its quite nice when a main character's voice is used by a minor character, I can't help but feel nostalgic towards it, like how Dawn's voice keeps popping up for the TV announcer in SM, that's a nice touch to it, because it gives me a nostalgic feel, its when they get an actor who isn't able to change their voice to make it different for different characters that annoys me. Like Emily Jenness voices Dawn and the TV announcer, but we've heard her voice other characters and change the sound of her voice, she voice's Cynthia and TR's assistant which all sound different. However, Michelle Knotz wasn't able to do that with Misty, and that's what's a little bit disappointing.
Heck even the Jigglypuff voice which is different at least makes an effort to sound like the original Jigglypuff.
Really disappointed with the dub company not getting Misty's original voice back......in fact in the last year or so the dub company has really started to disappoint me, not using old music or changing the music from the original, and their choice of voice actors, its starting to annoy me now. The dub music in particular sounds the same quite often, it all has the same feel to it. I'm starting to get to that point where I'm not interested in watching the dub anymore and just feel like sticking to the sub instead. Which is a shame because I've grown up with the dub and never really minded the dub in DP or BW even though they changed from what was pretty much my childhood.
The episode itself was quite good though aside from the fact. Good to hear old Brock again! I really miss him.
