I've been trying to think of why the Pokemon Company changed the voice actors and made few parts in the animation a little immature. My opinion about the animation is still great, but here is what I think: They could have hired a new director and voice actors to assist the Pokemon Company, saving them time. If they didn't offer to replace the actors, they could have had a little fight about the immature parts and must have felt stupid about rehearsing parts of the show. The voices could have quit their job because they didn't like the new director. The Pokemon Company must have decided to find more people who would act out each episode. Nintendo was probably being more conserned about little kids watching the animation as well. Sorry if this is offencive. What do you think about this theory?

i thinks its because the dubbed version (that would be any adaptation of the original in a different language, basically, the english one) got a new company or something behind it now. and maybe the original voice actors had a contract with the old one, and either didnt or couldnt go on with the new one, so they go different VAs for it. with a new company, new writers probably came along too, so thats why the language is more immature, (at least to us who are older than what they are aiming at, which seems to be like 5 year olds...*sigh*)
that is my take on it

Oh well duh. How could I not have guessed? My gosh. Whatever, stuff similar to that happens. It could have been the contract or something else they didn't like to see on there.

Hmh, I don't know how that would cost less, although that may be a good point.

Maybe. That probably explains that it was sucking money out of them.

Possibly. I'm still thinking they were in an arguement.

actually, i just found out why they changed the voice actors (kinda..)
ok, so back at the very end of 2005, Pokemon USA decided not to renew its contract with 4Kids (the people running the anime in the US) and have Pokemon USA take over with all things Pokemon outside of Asia. that means the dub actors would be replaced, since the legal ownership of the dub changed, meaning that the actors would more than likely stay with 4Kids, since thats who had their contracts.
i found a link to the article that explained this on: pokezam.com (apparently a big name in the online pokemon community, which i have never heard until a few days ago)

Wow. That sucks. I don't know why they wouldn't renew their contract with 4Kids, although that does bring back memories of that channel.

4Kids was the company that dubbed the pokemon anime, not a channel
