Voice acting in the Pokémon games: Difference between revisions

In {{game|Yellow}} and from [[Generation VI]] to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{p|Pikachu}} uses its [[cry]] as voiced by [[Ikue Otani]] in ''[[Pokemon the Series]]''. In Yellow, this is exclusive to the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} the player receives at the beginning of the game and not the entire species, as other Pikachu (i.e. those that don't have the player's [[Original Trainer]] ID and name) use the original cry.

From {{LGPE}} to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, {{p|Eevee}} also uses its cry from ''Pokémon the Series'' as voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} theme has vocals of the crowd singing along with the song that are added after the [[Gym Leader]] [[Dynamax]]es or [[Gigantamax]]es a Pokémon. [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu and Gigantamax Eevee use vocals, similar to their standard forms. Gigantamax {{p|Meowth}} also uses vocals (voiced by its Japanese ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' voice actor, [[Inuko Inuyama]]), though its standard form does not.

In the {{g|Stadium series}}, the announcer ([[Ted Lewis]]^EN/{{jwp|長谷部浩一|Kōichi Hasebe}} (1998–99), [[Takeharu Onishi]] (2000)^JP) combines various voice clip segments to describe the combatants' moves and current condition during {{pkmn|battle}}s. In the latter two games, the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} from {{game|Yellow}} uses its [[cry]] as voiced by [[Ikue Otani]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. All other Pikachu use a standard cry based on the species' [[core series]] cry.

In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], all Pokémon use their cry from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], almost every voiced character from the Pokémon universe is voiced by their ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' voice actor.

In {{g|Snap}}, [[Todd Snap]] and [[Professor Oak]] use short voice lines by their original English ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' voice actors, [[Carter Cathcart]] and [[Stuart Zagnit]], respectively. While many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} make generic animal sounds or other noises fitting their species, others have voice clips using their ''Pokémon the Series'' voices, such as {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}}. A {{p|Jigglypuff}} also {{m|sing}}s the same song that the recurring {{an|Jigglypuff}} sings in ''Pokémon the Series''.

In {{g|Puzzle League}}, the introductory cutscene is fully voiced, and short voice clips from various ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' characters will play when navigating menus. During {{pkmn|battle}}s, the participating Pokémon will also occasionally say their [[cry]] from ''Pokémon the Series'', while [[human]] characters and {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} may chime in about the {{player}}'s performance. Opponents will also say a short voice clip before and after battles.

In {{g|Channel}}, all Pokémon use their cry from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Channel host Pokémon as well as Pikachu speak extensively, though in [[Pokémon language]]. Meowth is an exception, as it speaks in full human-language sentences.

In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], every Pokémon uses their cry from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''. Among these is {{p|Porygon-Z}}, who received new voice acting, as it had not previously uttered its cry in ''Pokemon the Series''.
