I didn't realize their time was so short, I thought I remembered them being around significantly longer.

            This made me look up the voice actor to see if they were actually from Jersey.

            But I ended up learning the original Meowth was done by one of the first trans people in the voiceover industry. Never knew Meowth was a trans activist and ally.

            Oh and born in Long Island and died in Jersey City so that accent is authentic 👌

              I looked into her and it's simultaneously really cool what she did, but also sad that she died in 2008 from a stomach virus apparently. :deeper-sadness:

              Rest In Peace.

            Supposed to be an Osaka accent. I guess the best they could find was New Jersey, but it would be more accurate to be a southern or Texas accent. Osakans have the reputation of being coarse and brutish, in contrast to the more sophisticated Tokyoites.
