Who’s that Voice Actor?

It’s Sarah Natochenny! With Pokémon Horizons debuting on Netflix this month, it’s time to break out the trading cards and Pokédex. Though she is best known for her time as trainer Ash Ketchum, Sarah has also voiced various characters in animation, film, and video games. Let’s take journey down memory lane and look at the voice behind our fave trainer from Pallet Town.

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

Though she's not the first English voice of Ash Ketchum, that honor goes to Veronica Taylor, Sarah Natochenny has the longest run with seasons 9 through 25 including 17 movies along the way. She started out Pokémon with the redub of The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon back in 2006. 

Also, Ash is not the only Pokémon character she's voiced. Here are a few others she's lent her voice to: 

  • Delia Ketchum 

  • Chansey (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) 

  • Skyla (Unova Gym Leader) 

  • Ash’s Staraptor 

  • Dawn’s Buneary 

  • Wigglytuff
