More voice acting in Pokémon
On that note, it’s time for Pokémon to add voice-acting into its mainline games. Spin-offs like Detective Pikachu and New Pokémon Snap have voice actors reading lines for their central characters in the big cutscenes, but as the tentpole RPGs have recently adopted a more cinematic approach, it’s become even more jarring that Pokémon games don’t have voice acting. It’s a testament to the strength of Game Freak’s writing team that moments like the final hours of Scarlet and Violet and Legends: Arceus are still as memorable as they are without it, but those incredible stories deserve talented voices to give them new life.
