I was stunned to learn how young she was.

The Pokemon anime first aired here in 1998, days before the launch of the Game Boy games that started the nationwide craze. I was there for it--you have no idea just how massive it got unless you lived through it.

That means she was only 20 when the series first aired--and depending on when the dub was recorded, she may have been a teenager when she first performed her most famous roles.

(Correction: Nope, she was 29 when the show premiered.)
