Finally!

Time to put a STOP to that dastardly Honchkrow and his gang of Murkrownies!

 

[Lupin the Third]

Apparently in the dub here they call him Detective Zenigata, so Lupin teases him by calling him Defective Zenigata.

Sorry for drifting off-topic, but that dub isn't in English, is it? It's primarily in Tagalog, right? Or do they just use the odd English word now and again?

 

[Illucio]

Saw the poll, first choice "Steve Blum" my brain "Ah sheet no one can be a far better candidate to voice Detective PIkachu." -Votes- I then noticed the most voted for in the results was Charles Martinet (with Paarthurnax voice). Never have I felt so wrong in my life.

There's some wild ideas about how this game can be handled now.

Laughing so hard.

There's a million stories in Vermilion City, and this one is one of mine.

The name's Kachu. I'm a private investigator. The dame came in one night. I'd seen her before; she was a singer down at Brock's. Long legs, long hair, big ol' baby-blue eyes. She introduced herself as Etta. She'd got trouble. She thought some slab of muscle - an old flame - found down at the Dojo had some dark secret on her, she wanted me to find out just how much he knew. She offered me fifty bucks a night, plus expenses. I took the job.

I went down to the Dojo, asked to speak to the Champ. He was surprisingly un-evasive; he knew Etta before, only not as Etta. She was a femme fatale, real name Mel; he'd had a run-in with her before. He fell for her wiles; they became lovers. Turns out, though, she was a Collector of the most dirty kind. She'd claimed that she was being harassed by an ex-partner, and asked him to put the frighteners on the ex. When he got back, he found the house was ransacked, his stash of Master Balls; gone.

My heart lurched. I ran back to the office. Sure enough, the safe was open. Empty. Must have been a skilled breaker too. Just one thing left - a folded note with a lipstick kiss on it. I opened it.

"Can't catch 'em all", it said.

At least that's all you lost.
Bitch stole my heart, too.

 

[batfax]

My dream VA for this is Elias Toufexis. Hearing that Jensen voice come out of a little Pikachu would be amazing.

 

[Fandangox]

I need it

 

[Mr. Smiley]

The amount of Troy Baker votes disgusts me. You tellin' me you'd want another Kanji but don't want Pikachu to have a possible Spike Spiegal impression??

 

[Caim]

There's some wild ideas about how this game can be handled now.

I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears.

 

[Black-Wind]

Who should Voice him?

And ... you DIDN'T list the clear pick?

Shameful ...

 

[dangeraaron10]

I need it.

I watched the trailer and I was laughing tears the whole time.

LOCALIZE THIS.

This is so strange and nonsensical but that's what makes it awesome.

This wouldn't happen to be a "Hey you, Pikachu!" sequel or spiritual successor would it?

After that trailer, I want Danny DeVito as English voice of Pikachu.

 

[dangeraaron10]

double post, ech

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective

Detective Pikachu |OT| A Study in Pika

Damn, these are dope

 

[DeathPeak]

Pikachu used Confuse Ray.

The general audience is confused.

 

[Dreamcast2]

Short joke video with Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Pikachu.

It would be amazing if Nintendo somehow got Cumberbatch. Maybe he's secretly a huge Nintendo fan? I actually would be quite happy with Martinet.

 

[maxcriden]

I mean I'm not sure yet what the gameplay entails (do we know?) but it looks super cute and fun. I'm surprised how good it looks. I wonder if localization has been simultaneous.

 

[NoKisum]

Seeing the choices in the poll, and I'm like,

DId no one suggest Dan Green?

 

[ArchedThunder]

So any hint on if this is going to be episodic? It looks pretty big budget and 10 bucks seems like a low price, not to mention the subtitle sounds like an "Episode 1".

 

[orochi91]

That's a dinosaur.

 

[Merc_]

This is amazing.

I never knew I wanted this.

 

[Mariolee]

What if it's like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and this is actually an old detective who transformed into a Pikachu for some mysterious reason?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I would have voted for Patrick Warburton to voice Detective Pikachu.

 

[RionaaM]

What if it's like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and this is actually an old detective who transformed into a Pikachu for some mysterious reason?

Nah, I'd rather the kid be a transformed Wartortle or something.

Still over 30 minutes till I come home and am able to see the trailer. This thread has been amazing in the meantime.

 

[Vazra]

We need Gilbert Gottfried for Pikachu in the Western release.

 

[The Bankslammer]

i hope the fact that this sole pikachu has a human adult voice and is a professional investigator is neither explained nor recognized as being odd by any other character

 

[PillarEN]

Eww she kissed a rat.

We already had a princess kiss a Hedgehog. Are you a speciest? It's 2016 jerk.

Nothing confirmed yet but I came to a similar conclusion

 

[pinkurocket]

This looks so good. He needs to have a fancy British accent in the localized version, I will accept nothing else.

Yessss! I want the voice actress for Luke from the Layton games to do the voice. Just looked it up, her name is Maria Darling. Maria for Pikachu!

 

[Verder]

oh man im so use to pikachu just going pika pika

Now this, THIS is something I'd pay top dollar for!

[Poltergust]

uhuh...?

I'm making fun of the number. There are over 700 now.

 

[Skulduggery]

Who's this new voice actor? I know I know that voice from my animes

 

[Remapped88]

Those expressions Pikachu makes is hilariously weird but I'm oddly curious about the game since the Pokemon world have always been interesting and this going away from the usual Pokemon Trainer role is pretty neat. Hope to see more.

So Pikachu really is a lady charmer human or Pokémon...never underestimate the power of the deep manly voice.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Pikachu running on two legs is so hilariously cute.

Lol, I'm dying XD.

 

[Tom Nook]

Pikachu with Heavy Rain gameplay? I'm in.

 

[Hackworth]

Why no Detective Meowth?

Who should Voice him?

And ... you DIDN'T list the clear pick?

Shameful ...

Yoooo

 

[Hollycat]

This... is just too much... I can't....

He has the manliest voice. He sounds like he could be a voice actor for Tadakatsu Honda or something.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Deep voiced 'chu? Idk bruh.

Edit:

There's some wild ideas about how this game can be handled now.

Doubts quelled.

 

[Trojita]

Who used their Monkey Paw and asked for a talking Pikachu?

 

[sfried]

Scrubs be undermining my man Liam O'brien.
Y'all suck :V

I read that as Liam Neeson...

Oh God...CATCH'EM

 

[KJA]

Kelsey Grammer is the only acceptable voice actor for Pikachu.

Search your heart, you know it to be true.

 

[CrazyDude]

Sequel will have a hard boiled detective.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I don't see Gilbert Gottfried as a choice in the poll. I refuse to vote for lesser men.

 

[PillarEN]

Sequel will have a hard boiled detective.

That is a cute idea. I'd love a Togepi game for mobile devices. Maybe s hide and seek game with Misty.
