When I imagined the replacement article being reported, I expected the image to have the OG Okido as a show of respect because he's the memorable one. Not some new and tanned Okido that will be forgotten after S/M ends.

Very good replacement.

The image depicts Yukinari Ookido's cousin Nariya Ookido from Alola. Though Ishizuka voiced both Ookidos, please add at least his first name in the article.

Says the new actor is playing Professor Oak. Instead shows Professor Oak's cousin, Samson Oak.

To be fair, the cousin is also called Professor Oak/Ookido-hakase.

The cousin is named Headmaster Oak/Ookido-Kouchou in the show.

That being said I wonder if Horiuchi is taking over narration as well. He narrated some Pikachu shorts and Pokemon Chronicles previously.

S&M Okido is shown because news are about S&M Okido. But Horiuchi obviously is going to voice both.

The image is right, it's the article that's wrong. Horiuchi was announced as the replacement voice actor for Principal Okido, not for Professor Okido like the article claims.
