Since the recent release of the first english trailer for Detective Pikachu, I've been curious as to what people think of the game's English dub. Personally speaking, I enjoy what I've heard so far. I think it's a drastic improvement when compared to the abomination that is Pokken's Tournament's voice acting. What I was most pleasantly surprised with, though, was that TPCi seems to be using voice actors who I know have experience (Kaiji Tang has already been confirmed but there will most likely be others), especially given their tendency to do the opposite. But what about you?
 
I just saw the trailer and I found Detective Pikachu's voice hilarious. It reminds me of the Magical Boys anime where the villains had animal sidekicks that were a super cute hedgehog and a flying squirrel... with deep deep voices of middle-aged men. It creates a huge contrast where you expect a squeaky high-pitched voice (or in Pikachu's case, the original voice actress) from a cute little rodent. It could be funny and maybe just okay if one gets used to the voice, but I think it could initially be a little 'off' for some people.
