+This is the kind of stuff fans should include in their messages:
+I understand that Cartoon Network is negotiating to acquire the rights to Pokémon.  If it's not too late—heed this word of advice – make sure that Pokémon USA does not sell you an inferior product.
+This past weekend Kids WB! aired a Pokémon TV special that was NOT produced by 4Kids Productions .  The show was amateurish and embarrassing.  Voices were terrible.  Acting was horrible.  The writing was extremely bad.  The music was inappropriate and the sound mix was painful. It seemed like children and non-professionals were producing the show.
+Fans want the "authentic" Pokémon experience, not a cheap imitation.  If you acquire the series from Pokémon  Company and they do not continue to use 4Kids  to produce the series - -you will be buying a series that will rate poorly and destroy the franchise.
+Don't waste your money.  Make sure you get the real deal and not an inferior, poorly produced, embarrassing imitation.  Make sure that 4Kids Productions is the production entity for the new Pokémon episodes.
+Thanks for all of your support! SPREAD THE WORD!
