Moreover, Sarah created a special design of Ash Ketchum, the Pokemon character she has been voice-acting for the past 17 years! Check out the design via her Instagram post down below. 

“Ash Ketchum was my first protagonist, and I kept booking roles, these protagonist roles. And I started asking myself why is that? Why are they casting me in roles that are characters that are so adventurous and outgoing and extroverted? There must be something in me that’s like that. So I did a lot of work on myself, and I started to recognize that part of myself, and now I can’t stay home at all”, popular Pokemon’s Sarah Natochenny explained. 

When it comes to her Webby nomination for 2023, she won the Audience Award in the Social Media category. The video that won everyone’s heart over is Pokemon’s Sarah Natochenny’s retrospective video.
