Rachael Lillis, a voice actor who starred in many “Pokémon” films and series as the characters Misty, Jessie and more, died Aug. 10. She was 46.
Lillis was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2024. Veronica Taylor, Lillis’ “Pokémon” co-star who voiced the lead character Ash Ketchum, posted a statement on X Monday morning that announced Lillis’ death.
TIL Misty and Jessie are the same VA.
I had no idea, and also didn’t realize how young she was when she started voicing these characters.
She also voices Jigglypuff!
RIP
Damn, I hear her almost every day when I play Super Smash Bros 64 with my son. That’s a bummer. Fuck cancer.
Were. 😬
RIP.
