The same applies to Ditto, whose natural voice is by Rachael Lillis, but when transformed into other Pokémon it takes on the voice of the Pokémon it's impersonating (though when Ditto transforms into a Pikachu, Creator/IkueOhtani gives it a slightly different-sounding voice from an actual Pikachu).

* LostInTranslation: The Japanese version of Ash and friends performing Team Rocket's motto includes a few jokes that are missing from the English version. Kasumi refers to the team as "the lovely, charmy protagonists" where Team Rocket would have called themselves "the lovely, charmy villains." And Takeshi calls the group "Poketto-dan" - literally "Team Pocket," which wouldn't have worked in English as the dub doesn't use the term "pocket monsters." In English, Misty and Brock just recite the corresponding English lines of the motto verbatim.
