Pokémon Needs MORE Voice Acting 

We’ll get a fully dubbed gen one of these days. Feels like good first steps. The VAs nailed* it too, props.

Yeah, the lip flaps match up to the text and everything

The problem is that gamefreak keep the main titles on it own bubble letting spin off games or mobile games do the shit that the franchise desperately needs aka voice acting. Their reason is "taking away the experience" which means we don't want to adapt like other franchise like Persona that does the silent protagonist well and let every other characters have their own voice plus it will take too much money for the actors to literally call every pokemon names correctly. Seriously this mentality it what hurts this franchise, it tries to act like 25 (now 26) franchise but it doesn't feel like one, Zelda adapted to modern game trends aka open world and giving characters voice acting while still retaining the silent protagonist aka Link, if Zelda can manage to adapt and make it better why not pokemon. I swear Gamefreak needs new leadership at the top in both management and creative directions, because the way they handle the franchise is not bad but needs someone that knows that this franchise has some issues and needs some fixing. Also give this franchise at least 5 year to develop because on how abyssal Gen 9 launched.

@@zetamangads you really call that voice acting when is just grunts? Bruh💀 the mobile Pokémon games don’t even count as voice acting

I think they wanted to do voice acting as well for pokemon sword and shield. Remember Pier's "singing"?

Exactly! They did it for Snap, a spinoff game. They can do it for a main line. It's just... Ughhh why???

@@Sheenifier I get where you're coming from and I almost fully agree. However this game was A rushed, and B snap was a different company not really Gamefreak. But I get where you're coming from game freak is such a big company and even if they don't make all there money off there games that awnser is also bull crap. They still make butt load's of money on the games and 100 percent could have hired voice actors and not even like celebs either like just voice actors and it would have been awesome. But they didn't and it sucks. Honestly we should have gotten voice acting in sword and shield especially for that opening bit with Rose, but we didn't and we just kinda have to keep poking game freak and then they will cave and bring in voice actors. But until then we have to keep poking and prodding Pokemon and Gamefreak for it and hopefully one day we will hear the voice of a future character.

See, that is where the Gamefreak upper management tell you you are wrong. After all, IF they voice the characters, that would mean it would cut out extra profits from their pocket. I mean, really, the POOR CEOs, president, and the rest of the poor, poor, very, very poor upper management wouldn't be able to buy their 50th thousand super car, 20th thousand mega yatchs and 10 thousand jumbo jet if they put a bit of money into voice acting. What do you think they are?! A charity?!

@@cttommy73 LoL I love this comment. But even if they had to do the unthinkable and!!!!!! Make a decent game with the small quality of life improvement of voice actors. They could still buy their Gucci and Lamborghini.

bc ur name Pokémon don't got the guts to say sucknut without it sounding like second rate siri

wait, these weren't official voices in the game? It sounded so professional and real!

@@kirara2516 it does its really well done for just fanmade stuff!

Except nemona

@kirara2516 nah, they aren't real. The game freak is too lazy to put voice acting in their games

Well except Ortega

Apparently, there’s a line in before the second battle when the lines glitch. It says, “AI Turo/Sada has no intention has fighting anymore!” (At least, that’s what I think) That line went *hard* I’m sobbing

The way I shed a tear when she said that

@@LeonDeLlama honestly

As a wise police officer once said: "It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's OK."

His story isn’t that sad 😂

@@Kwayjie Sorry, but me and literally everyone I know would have to disagree with you there. I think you would have to dislike Arven if you think it's not sad. Which is fair. When I saw him the first time, I thought "wow I am sure some people hate this guy but I love him so much!" It's the emotional attachment people feel with Arven that really makes everyone cry. I imagine you don't feel much for Arven. Am I correct?

@@Enthusiasmmm I like arven his story is just like every other generic character where there father leaves them and there mad. That’s why I don’t like his story 🤷‍♀️. Lol it’s not that sad or deep

@@Kwayjie ohhh that's why. I think the original comment is referring to the Mabostiff arc, which was very sad at first in my opinion. I think this crying isn't necessarily sad crying. When Mabostiff finally stood, a lot of people cried, including me, because we were happy for Arven and Mabostiff.

I'm sure they're gonna voice them. eventually. Ala Anime or Ala Pokemon Masters EX.

The end with Sada omfg if I had gotten that when playing I’d have been screaming

@@ailehunter wish so but if its like every other pokemon game its gonna use the fact its a pokemon game to sell and not put any real effort into it.

@@extremedwd8003 i think they put the effort. its just in minor things xd Well, i'll still support Pokemon Masters just to give us more voice acting.

@@kei.13 The Japanese voice acting will be just as cringe to anyone who doesn't simp for chinese cartoons.

⁠@@kei.13that’s debatable

That would be insane

It would've been great to have voice over for moments like that, so you can catch what everyone is saying...it was a big problem youtubers had, was understanding what was being said, since the dialogue was happening so fast. You can't pause and read unless you see the scene on youtube.

@@TheRibottoStudios You can go to a game setting and set the dialogue speed slower I think.

@@nakimushi11 I had it on slow and it still went by so fast lol, especially as someone with dyslexia and I was reading out loud because I was playing with my friend so it was very tricky lol

​@@TheRibottoStudios especially considering that some of the Pokemon charge at you and cut the dialogue mid convo

Omg true

Larry HAS TO sound like deadpan comedian Steven Wright

He will sound exactly like Nanami from JJK

@@TenebrisTemporis lol since jjk came out i feel like every anime/game always has that one character with nanami's exact voice

He;ll sound like the pixies from Fairly Odd Parents

I agree! At first I didn't get chills but it was when I reached 1:51 to 1:57 I *absolutely* had chills. That was executed so perfectly! All of it was.

There is also a lot of dialogue when you are in Area Zero between your friends about their past and it's difficult to follow AND admire the landscape , i think will help with this too

Duh

Be the first time I'd consider hacking my system, especially with the crew these guys had.

Same ngl

@@Animefan5890it's worth it anyways

@@Animefan5890 no need to, ryujinx is here for us

If they made a paid dlc that basically just added voice acting would anyone buy it ?

exept for ortega and penny tho

I imagined arven with a russian accent

@@Breccann I thought those two were perfect, it's Nemona's and Arvens voices that were not how I imagined

@@LunarTheMage yeah that does make sense

The professor's voice is spot on!

bro penny feels so off when u think about that shes not that old

@@kroffkroff2199 kinda but it matches her personality still and i prefer that voice over a squeaky one if im being honest

she should've had a British accent since she's from Galar

They do the bare minimum. To maximize profits.

Too costly, if they had voices they’d need to hire actors for every country

Yeah and I loved how the text would get corrupted when AI Sada became the Paradise Protection Protocol

Fun little addition to that. In the part where it glitches out saying Paradise Protection Protocol, for a brief moment it'll say the Professor doesn't want to battle.

I didn’t notice that lol 😆

That battle made me go out and find roaring moon and use my master ball on him

Its probably because the one we see is a robot but if i remember correctly the robot seems a lot kinder than the actual person

I only have Violet. So is professor Sada that one kids mom? If so, thats a crazy crossover.

​@@LVL58Designsthe Professor is only 1 of Arven's parents in each game

@@kohlerxxx So they DID hook up. Ok. It makes sense now. That's one hell of a crossover. 🤣

YES!!! I'd cry so much

It's interesting because it shows the AI itself knows what its doing is illogical and dangerous, but is still devoid of true free will. Since it has no choice but to endlessly pursue the one goal it was programmed to reach.

@@TheLimeCrimes Going into the lab, I expected the AI to be evil. The fact that it arrived at the “Let’s NOT kill people” conclusion by itself is honestly heartwarming. And then it can’t stop itself from battling you, but has the courtesy to warn you before you activate the shutdown sequence. And it seemed genuinely worried for us when it realized the protection protocol that would lock all Poke’balls without the Professor’s dna and release the Pokémon that killed the professor.

@@pooppooper9033can a single Pokémon game just ever have a genuinely evil human villain again? At least once? It seems like after Ghetsis that stopped being a thing entirely and I hate it

@@Somerandomjingleberry We had Lysander, and he sucked ass. Even Cyrus, Archie, and Maxie can be considered not “genuinely evil”. I know it didn’t work out every time, but Zinnia; Team Star, and Sada/Turo were better antagonists than Ghetsis could ever be. And if you really want the “genuinely evil human villain”, we just had one in Legends Arceus.

@@Somerandomjingleberry We've had several over the years, and Sada/Turo themself and NOT the AI isn't really a good person anyways?? They prized their work above the potential destruction of humanity, I wouldn't call that good.

Yeah-hah! Seriously! My mind did a backflip because I started to feel like I was hearing uncut footage!

gasp* Penny sounds to old for a girl

THISSS i would even settle for all cutscenes voiced as a video ;_;

And also, bypasses the main issue with nameable characters in voice-acted games. They have to swap the name out

@@zionnemakoma1398 Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they swapped out the given names for generic phrases. Sada/Toru can say Kid. Headmaster Clavell could go with young master. Arvin could go with bud. Penny could just go mysterious as Cassiopia, but switch to friendo when we reach the way home. Nemona just play with the word rival. There are many ways to work arround a character with given names. Bit sad that Gamefreak didn't go for voice actors for their main cast interactions, like the scenes with Arvin and his dog, or with Ai Sada/Toru in the elevator and cutscenes, like when leaping into Area 0, or when the time machine activated paradise defence protocol.

@@zionnemakoma1398 persona 5 did it alot, its a good system

@@melvindekkers6105 its Turo not Toru

@@ficothedepressed Well, guess which of the Pokemon game I have 🤣.

Yeah,i also thought for once if I was playing on mute and missed out on this.😅

The channel is run by a voice actor so I’m not surprised

And if you need any violet footage I have a lot of it screen recorded!!

agreed. then make it a mod where all the hd cutscenes (the cutscenes with that grey gradient with the words instead of the text boxes) are voice acted

I'd literally pay money for a mod that integrated complete VA lines

dont expect anything, these guys are not getting paid

Pay them to do it, i dought God will help u in that matter.

yeah. it should of had more tension. it was sada speaking to them, to her son, to end her pain and suffering. she was in there, and it almost felt like she was still sada and became more and more an AI by the end of things with her. like she transferred her mind via a ghost in the shell type of scenario. overall though, great freaking job to ppl who did this. maybe one day this game will receive a voice DLC for new players to experience. and maybe.. just maybe going forward since Arceus and S/V were templates for future series.. GameFreak will make the next games something to be remembered even more.

@@MiBrCo4177 that would be awesome, although I don't think the dlc adding voice acting is very likely

I've been thinking of doing a compilation of lets players dubbing the characters in Sword and Shield back then. But I'm just too lazy to do it lmao.

Theyd likely slap a copyright on it first...need folks to fundraise a buyout of the company and rights so the community can do things right

@@Animefan5890 taking Pokemon away from Gamefreak would be like taking an abused child out of a neglecting family by child care services

Lets hope someone does that and mods it into the game

GREAT IDEA!!! 🤩✨

And we Will say that until the planet get destoyed

Nope not happening

I just hope they get more time for gen 10 regardless if they able to make Voice Acting possible.

@@Squiggles. Me too. If they had more time with Scarlet and Violet, it probably would have been much smoother, and better looking.

@@MsCerealCat infinitely. Just look at splatoon. Most visually pleasing on the switch. (For me) But one problem is that they also have a smaller team but are pushed to make a Pokèmon game every year. It's a shame, really.

I mean could you imagine if Cristina Vee (Rei/Mars in Viz Media's Sailor Moon Crystal and the 90s anime redub, Ladybug from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, Meiko from Digimon Tri. and various Pokémon voices notably 2 Pokémon cries within Journeys 1 of them being a big role) did 1 of the voices?

I imagined they'd probably use the VA roster that voices the characters in Pokemon Masters EX

@@GreenDinoRanger dunno since some of those actually do carry over plus they did use some of the show cast anyway like R.I.P. Billy Kametz who was Blue so sad that he's gone. He was Ren and Ash's Rotom phone in Journeys plus I think he did Raihan's Duraludon. Cherami Leigh who was Kris and possibly Mina, she does Chloe in Journeys. Even Cristina Vee does numerous voices in Pokémon Masters including Bugsy, Phoebe AND Marnie. J Michael Tatum has been credited for Journeys but no clue what he does whereas he was Emmet for Masters. I'll stop there since I think you get my point since I could definitely do more since I see the actress that voices Bea in Journeys as well Also I don't think they'd want the same actors voicing characters in Masters that they'd be voicing in video games... of course it makes sense with the likes of Jessie, James, Team Rocket's Meowth and even Ash to have their Journeys voices since those are TV characters

@@MattZRJSRoxy Actually, in Japan a lot of VAs are *the* VA for their character unless something forces the company to change. They even do it for the dubs when possible, which is why Yuri's been voicing Marth from Fire Emblem ever since Heroes in 2016.

@@researchinbreeder perhaps BUT I was referring to the English localization side of things and regardless of the fact that they use the same pool, they generally take the approach that games and anime aren't the same

Don't get your hopes up.

Don’t expect it to, unfortunately

Right?! This game just feels so more alive with voices!
