Rachael Lillis Dies: ‘Pokémon’ Voice Actor For Misty & Jessie From Team Rocket Was 46
Rachael Lillis, the voice actor best known for voicing Misty, Jessie and Jigglypuff in the "Pokémon" franchise, has died ... her sister, Laurie Orr, confirmed.

Thank you for getting her age right. Too much misinformation going on in these comments!
You're welcome
It's weird IMDb, NY Times, Game Rant, Wikipedia say she was 55.
@@Loupmtf : It's weird how before she passed away every single website, that listed her profile, said July 8th 1976. I looked her up right when her cancer diagnosis became public information and we share a birthday which is why that date and year has been ingrained in my memory. I looked up a multitude of other sites, blown away by how young she was when she started, but every site said the same exact date. I don't understand why they're all of a sudden trying to minimize her accomplishments by saying she was in her 30's when she voiced Misty and Jessie when she was in her early twenties. It's honestly an insult to everything she was able to achieve in her life.
She was 53, everyone says 46 bc when she started they told her that she had to say she younger than she was. Idk why they told her that. I only met her a few times since she lived so far from the rest of my family. I loved Pokémon as a kid and to have my aunt as a VA in it was so so cool. she did all the voices for me when I saw her 🥺
@@Madelune7 : Your aunt was Rachael? Seriously? I'm both insanely jealous and saddened for your loss but... why 53? Lots of fake information going around claiming 55 and now you're saying 53... it's hard to believe any of it when every definition is being changed and all the other rewrites of history going on...
No matter what happens to Rachel Lillis passing away, she’ll always be my favorite voice actress of misty, Jessie, and jigglypuff.
Likewise!
While my mom never quite got into Pokemon, she absolutely ADORED Jigglypuff, and I have no doubt that a big part of that was the sweet little voice that Lillis gave to that unforgettable creature!
Rachel Lillis, you have brought Misty and Jessie to life 😢. Thank you so much for everything and I pray your family for good health. "Misty most of all" and the Team Rocket member. You are part of my childhood.
She was so young! Rest in Peace Misty and Jessie!
We will miss you Rachael Lillis. R.I.P 😢
Thank you Rachael Lillis for all the great memories you've given us. You'll live on forever in our hearts 🙏🕊😢🥺
She voiced Misty Jessie and Officer Jenny and various others female characters and some Pokémon
Found out she was actually 55 but she looked a little younger at her last convention appearance.
She was born in 1978... 46
Every source I have found said she was born on July the 8th, 1969. Where did you find this 1978 date?
@kartavianmacrath7219 maybe her sister updated her background information
@@kartavianmacrath7219 : Back when she was first diagnosed it said 1978. I remember it vividly because we share a birthday. I'm not going to trust Wiki, especially when other websites said 78. Anyone can alter Wiki.
I'm devastated. 46 is NOT that old. Her works will still be felt by millions of people for years to come.
First Akira Toriyama! OJ, and now her!
2024 surely is a bad year so far!
@@tarikkash4282 Tbf, I'm not sad to lose OJ. He's the guy who got away with murder. Toriyama, though, is for sure also a strong loss. I just wasn't expecting this for this year.
Yeah and their are so many great voice actors who passed away like Gilbert Gottfried and Kevin Conroy and both of those guys were childhood voice actors for many people.
@@saberiandream316 Me too! Rachael Lillis was the GOAT!
@@tarikkash4282 Very few celebrity deaths affect me. NGL, this actually hurts me.
Victreebel screams was her too RIP
As much as I look back to fond memories, I look back to the song “Misty’s Song”, as I’ve recently heard of the tragic death of Rachael Lillis, who voiced Misty and Jessie. I’ve met Veronica Taylor in Houston on November 5th, 2023. I told Veronica, as I heard it yesterday, to accept my thoughts and extend the same to Rachael’s family for me, having been a fan of Rachael’s for that long, too.
Rachael Lillis? May your spirit watch over us as you carry on in the “incredible world of Pokémon”. Rachael? Say hello to my mom and dad up there.
Rest in peace Rachel Lillis. And Thank You for being a part of my childhood.
Misty was my first anime crush. Jessie was trouble and made it double. I will miss you lady. You left a legacy, and will blast off again. People will try to fill your shoes. No one will come close RIP. I'm deeply bummed by the news. Love you. We all do.
😢 R.I.P Rachael Lillis The best Pokémon voice actors characters.😭
She was Martina From the anime Slayers as well my first anime rest in peace my Queen 👸🏻
Akira Toriyama and now Rachael Lillis 2 legends gone rip
You forget bulma Japanese voice actress that passed away
Pokemon was my childhood. I can't remember... I never watch Pokemon in 1998. I was 2 and 3 years old. I did watch Pokemon movie 2 The Power of One. A videotape. My father bought it, for me and my brother. He was 5 or 6 and, I was 7 or 8. Seen we watch that movie. It's awesome. I won't stop watching Pokemon, Winx Club, Dinosaur King or Sonic X, Rachael. I won't allow it. I'm mad, that she's dead. She's not gone. No! R.I.P. Rachael Lillis. Love u Misty and Violet. May the Peace be with u Misty, Violet, Maylene, Lucy, Jessie, Jigglypuff, Lucy and Dr. Reese Drake.
Thank you Rachel for being best voice act performance ever, since throughout from my childhood and you’ll always be your hearts and we’ll never forget thank you.
Thank you for sharing and spreading love and information about her and her sad passing, she'll always live on in our memories and every time we revisit the series we'll think of her ❤️
I can’t believe she’s really gone. I was hoping she, Veronica and Eric could have returned to the franchise despite playing that one gym leader in Damond and Pearl, but now that Ash’s Story is over and Jessie, James and Meowth are gone it’ll never happen again!😔 I hope Maddie Blaustein voice of Meowth welcomed Her at the gates of Heaven.
Another crushing blow to my childhood ... 😢 rest in peace Rachel
Man I’m only on season 2 and it’s already my favourite show I’ve fallen in love with those voices. Great video you’ve put together
It's wild to think us 90s kids used to think this show was going to go on forever... Which it really did, but now we're adults now, all these beautiful Pokemon moments always bring us back to our childhood. Without a care in the world what we'll do tomorrow. Thank you for making those memories for us 90s kids! Rip.
That's very sad, 46 is so young. RIP ;_; She was an important part of Pokemon history - she must have been very young when she first did the voices for the show.
Poignant hommage. Voice actors deserve such hommage and to be missed like this. I know they work in the shadows but that doesn't mean they shouldn't receive the spotlight when it's due. They often don't realize themselves how impactful and important their work can be and inspire an entire generation or be a support throughout life. Their voice literally gives life to a character we know and love and they genuinely become this character in a way, giving them their personality through acting.
Just them talking can put a smile on someone's face and that's precious.
Rachael Lillis was one of my all time favourite voice actresses. I really wanted to meet her one day to say thanks for making my childhood as great as it could’ve been. She voiced Jigglypuff, Misty and Jessie (who are literally some of the most iconic and memorable characters from the show). When I found out she passed, I had no words. I was immediately in tears
I didn’t know what to do. Pokémon was a huge part of my childhood and I still love and watch and play Pokémon to this day
Rest in peace Rachael Lillis. You are very unfortunately gone, but very fortunately not forgotten and that’s how it’ll stay
Pokemon was my childhood in the late 90s early 2000s
As a Mexican guy from Tijuana, I watched a some English dub episodes, and I thought Rachel's Jesse was a bit more better than the Mexican va, even when the Mexican actress was superb, that's how deep was Rachel's talent was, now I have lost two Jesses.
I remember hearing her voice in both anime that got me into Anime were Pokémon and Dinosaur King.
This is truly heartbreaking. She was also Utena in Revolutionary Girl Utena. Sadly, Utena’s Japanese voice actress, Tomoko Kawakami, also passed away from cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with her family as they navigate this difficult time.
Wow I’ve been rewatching Pokemon GS the past two months with my daughter and crazy that she was in a crisis well I was enjoying her voice acting. R.I.P. one of the highlights of my childhood and even up to my early adulthood.
This has hit me big time, 30+ years of listening to her and still she is my 1/3 of my favourite characters in any show (Jessie, James and meowth) I know the series of ash and team rocket is over but there will never be another that can compare to her as them roles.
She will always be remember in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️
I will go back in time and save her
I would’ve done the exact same thing.
Me too 😭
I’m with you on that one man
Don't we wish...
@@saberiandream316. It will happen.
RIP Rachel Lillis My Condolences and Prayers Thank you You're Memory Will Live On
I’m deeply saddened to hear Rachael Lillis passed away, she was an amazing voice actress and she will be deeply missed.
Thank you for everything rest in peace you legend
Definitely heartbreaking moment rest in peace Rachel lillis
The song The Time Has Come just started playing in my head when I heard about her passing away. She was great for doing voices for Pokémon especially Misty and Jessie. Or maybe the song that Musty sings at the end of their journey when they leave Ash and go their separate ways after the Johto series.
You will be missed, thank you, rest in peace, thank you, you will go on forever, you will be missed rest in peace
Good bye Misty my one true love. Thank you Rachel 💐
I know how you feel, bro.... it hurts.
While the actress may be gone the characters she voiced still live on and continued to appear in the series portrayed by different actresses who gave their best to continue brining her characters to life and appear in more episodes that's something I think should be important to remember
she shares my birthday not the year, she did an amazing job voicing the characters 👏misty jessie and jigglypuff like holly cow probably besr female animated voice actress in my book. thank you for my childhood memories!
R.I.P Rachel lilis thank you for bringing misty and jessy to life
Well this broke my heart. She really did steal the show. 😢
Thank you for all the great memories
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh no 😥 I used to like the characters. My first time late meeting the real person 😢
Aw man I'm gonna miss her she was the best Misty and Jessie
Great tribute of original voice of Misty! series wouldn't be the same again without her..
But she's not in Digimon.
She never worked in Digimon, but did work in another monster battle anime (Yugioh) but only 3 episodes!
Rest in peace you legend
I cannot believe it No not her too another actress from my childhood died from that common but no less deadly disease cancer just like my father last year when will ever gonna be cure and vaccine to all type and form of cancers so prevent anymore losses to that diseases😢🥺😭
It's not fair... I loved her. She brought joy to us all. I'll never forget her. Forever grateful ❤️ 🙏
Oh, she done both? R.i.p to man and was talented and pretty. Wait, and jiggly puff? That's one of my favorite!! 😢
Thank you for a memorable childhood
she was a beautiful lady didn’t deserve the suffering she went through rip
55 was her age! Meaning Lillis was born In the late 60’s
She was born in 1978 on July 8th.
@basmaibrahim2352 wrong
@@eeveefennecfox : Isn't it bizarre how before she passed away every website said 1978 and her profiles on every site said that very same year for her birthday but now that she's gone everyone's trying to claim she'll older than Terra Strong. It's really depressing and an insult to her memory. She was a great talent from a young age. Seriously, her first credit in Slayers was literally when she was 19.
@@eeveefennecfox I'm not wrong!
Bro :/ I feel awful for forgetting to donate
Me too, I didn't even know she was sick!
It hurts my soul that I couldn't afford to... FJB
And it wasn't until yesterday that I found out she voiced Goldeen, Jigglypuff, Horsea, etc. I'm like wow! This really hurts! SMFH.
I actually cried when I found out.
🚀🫡😥
Thank you Rachel! Thank you Rachel!
May God be with her in Heaven with Eternal Life, Love, Peace and Happiness😎🙏🏻😇
Rest in Peace
R.I.P. Rachael Lillis 😢
She’ll be missed
Everything and every one is going 1 by 1 😢❤❤❤❤💔💔💔
She was that young when she dies ? Tragic. R.I.P.
I guess you could say she prepared for trouble when she died from cancer😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 rip Rachel we will miss you you made a pretty good Jessie and misty at least you are back with meowth in heaven and Rachel Jessie was always a star in our eyes you and meowth go make god prepare for trouble and yes meowth that's right 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rest in peace
Some news got the age wrong, so i appreciate the correct age! Rip Rachael
actually she was 55 years old born in 1968 NOT 1978.
Damn, I don't know what to say. RIP to a legend.
I think I’m about Cry
It's ironic that I didn't want to buy a fake copy of Pokémon Yellow because of Team Rocket!
Not my Misty and Jessie!!! We'll miss toy Rachel!! Thank you for everything
Were blasting off again one last time RIP Rachel lillis
I just heard about this damn why lost another good one
Cancer is on a notorious killing streak with actors and actresses alike, Stefan Karl, Jeanette Maus, Alex Trebek, and now Rachael Lillis. Cancer is a plague that despite our best research and our general understanding of it, has an expensive and very lengthy treatment process to get rid of it and in Rachael’s case, she could barely walk when the diagnosis was revealed. If there is a light at the end of the tunnel, Rachael’s work would be eternal, and the cancer that killed goes down with her. Long live Rachael Lillis.

Togepi. Thanks
Can we get a new Pokémon in the next generation named? Lilis? It's got to be a water type! Don't even follow the current generations of Pokémon like that, but that was a lot of our childhoods!
I will miss her greatly.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
She was only 13 years older than me? dam r.i.p. Rachel lillis
Ten years older than me and we shared a birthday...
NOOOOO RACHAEL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is why i wouldn't want to be a voice actor.
She was one of the main characters on one of the biggext cartoons, and video gamd series of an entire generation, and she had to use crowd funding to try and pay her medical bills.
She should have been rolling in FU money, not solicitiing fans to help her.
It's a gross, exploitive industry.
Rachel passed away sad
Rachel sounds like a very good woman I want wonder if someone will make a parade or a statue in her honor 😊 add to feel the side of her Depot departure😢 know where ever see when I know she's happy😊
you're welcome. I didn't know she passed I. always wanted to know that voiced to Misty and Jessie. I had no idea she went. I was shocked. All I can say is her family have my condolences because I don't know what to say God bless and may faimly grow in the knowledge that God is watching other her family in this dark times and the dark times to come amen God bless
She was 55. Not 46.
she was 55
She was born in 78. Don't know what is going on with all this misinformation in the comments...
@@Charles_Anthony well, Wikipedia says she was born on July 8, 1969; but of course, they could be wrong.
@@blackscorpionlairgaming : When is Wikipedia ever right? Besides, when she was first diagnosed with cancer, I couldn't believe she was 45, but I looked up multiple websites, including ones that listed the cast and their dates of birth. She was born in 78 and the reason why I never forgot that year is because we share a birthday.
@@Charles_Anthony like I said, Wikipedia could be wrong. take care.
@@blackscorpionlairgaming : It is wrong. Have a good day.
NOOOOOOOOOO😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
She was 55 not 46
No one knows how to do math? She was born in 1978 on July 8th. I literally looked up her birthday when she was first diagnosed with cancer.
NOOOOOOOOOO WHY
IM GONNA REVIVE HER SOMEHOW

So much
Stop Idolizing just other human..
that's what she gets for stealing togepi
For future actors, never attack your fanbase, or when you leave this world you will not have a send off like this woman. I noticed a lot of voice actors attacking fans these days and allowing their political views override their professionalism and common sense they suppose to have.
