I need this game.
Also, I need a Detective Pikachu faceplate for my new 3DS

I just don't understand the love for Pokémon as a stable of characters.
The mechanics of the games proper are compelling but I have no interest in watching any of the paper-thin creatures get saddled with any more purpose than waiting until I call them out of a pokeball.

I thought pokemon (other than meowth) only spoke what they are?
More than likely, he is a professional human Detective turned Pokémon, as indicated by him meeting a proper Pikachu at the end of the trailer.

Eh. Would've been funnier with him saying
'Pika Pika chuuuuu'
and the kid sidekick translating everything
'so you're saying that he murdered her with the pokeball in the living room?'

Whoops. Picked Troy Baker in the poll, but then listened to Charles's Paarthurnax voice in Skyrim and realized I've made a mistake.
That poll is a sham. There's only one true answer people should be clamoring for.
From what I remember, Mewtwo/Slowking can communicate through human languages because they're pyschic. Lucario can do the same through "Aura"... I'm not sure what that means though.
And since Meowth that himself how to speak, maybe other Pokemon just don't try hard enough.

So what are the cases going to actually be about? Certainly not murders, right? Though I guess Detective Conan is a kid show, so maybe they would go that route?

Yes. The first case involves head decapitation.

Just realized that they haven't shown off Pikablu yet. Main antagonist, perhaps?

He will make it into Pokken Tournament as a third Pikachu.

Really western looking key art:
That human looks like he came right out of a direct to VHS movie from the mid-90s.

It looks cute I want it.
Wait, does the first case really involve head decapitation? Source?

isn't there like over 150 pokemon? how can it be that none of them can speak simply because they "don't try hard enough"?

He was referencing Detective Conan lol. The very first episode involves a case where someone gets decapitated while riding a roller coaster.
"Over 150", he says.
=P
The anime do what anime do

uhuh...?
is it not consistent with the rest of the media where they're represented?
I wouldn't say so. At least in the case of Meowth.
Snap is a legitimately great on-rails FPS. And there's also Dream Radar when you think about it.
Oddly enough, the one big genre Pokémon truly hasn't experimented with is the Platformer. You could say that PokePark is a very, very lite Action-adventure game of sorts, but no real Platformer, side-scrolling or otherwise. One can even argue there's a Survival (though not necessarily horror
) game along the lines of Typing of the Dead in Typing Adventure.IlSignorCornetto

He was referring to Detective Conan, in which in the first episode: the victim is decapitated on the rollercoaster using fishing line.
Despite being "family friendly", 99% of the cases in Detective Conan are murders and many are rather bloody or otherwise shocking (hanging and so on)

Actually...
Pokémon Race mini is essentially a platformer

*Pikachu enters the crime scene*
Detective: "Looks like the gym leader was murdered in cold blood. Brutally beaten to death by an unknown Pokemon from an unknown trainer. No signs of Team Rocket involvement. Ugly scene..."
Pikachu: "Pikachu!"
Detective: "Haha yeah, talk about badge judgement am I right?"

Samuel L. Jackson being the English VA and I'm there day fucking 1.
The thing with Meowth learning the human language is that he exerted so much effort in doing so that he wasn't able to learn Pay Day, his species' signature move, so I'm not sure whether other Pokemon see the benefit in going through the effort to talk clearly with humans if they have to give up one of their vital moves.
Having said that Pokemon already do speak, just not in a language many humans can understand, and like real life languages their language able to be learned since the speech patterns are consistent. Take Pikachu for example, whenever you hear him say Pikapi during a conversation he's referring to Satoshi (Ash), when he says PiPi-kachu he's referring to Team Rocket and when he says Pika-Pikachu he's referring to or introducing himself. It's honestly easy to pick up and if someone wanted to go through the effort to master the Pokemon language they could.
Didn't know I wanted that until I read this post. Yes please.
No pokemon speaks in non-anime appearances outside of the mystery dungeon games where every pokemon speaks.
Even in the anime, the only Meowth that speaks is Team Rocket's Meowth, the rest just make noises.
