But after the second Titan fight and he brought out Mabostiff, I wanted to hug him tight and tell him everything would be okay. And that just got more and more intense until the conclusion.

THIS!! ^^^

[@johnjantjies3617]

Absolutely! Pokémon has barely evolved philosophically since at most the 2000's I think part of this is because the Nintendo fanbase in general is extremely analy retentive.

[@jooj0217]

honestly I have the feeling that a lot of things would've been done if the team had time. as far as I know, The Pokemon Company is the one responsible for the games' release schedule, which they've kept in a tight 3-4-year cycle every generation, while constantly expanding the scope of the series. early on with the GameBoy, up until maybe Sun and Moon on the 3DS, I think that was a doable window for the development given a portable console's limitations, while the Switch was a leap in what it can do, just look at Breath of the Wild and the Xenoblade series for example. 3-4 years to develop a game like Pokemon wouldn't be enough for a quality product, and both Switch generations show that with how bland the world's graphics are, as well as weird framerates and performance issues, which afaik are often fixed after the "meat" of the game is already coded, modeled and animated. the problem isn't that Nintendo doesn't wanna spend money on voice actors or hire more developers. the problem is that The Pokemon Company (which iirc isn't even a Nintendo subsidiary) has an iron grip on the IP and demands all its products and media to be released simultaneously (cards, toys, anime, games, etc.), since they know that churning out games will still sell millions. the problem is TPC's focus on quantity over quality. we've all seen what happened to Breath of the Wild and what's happening to its sequel, as well as Metroid Prime 4, despite that one being developed by a third party (I think?) studio: they've been delayed several times by now from the entire team, executives included, wanting to deliver a quality product despite losing hype, rather than push out a half-baked mess with rushed assets. if it were fully a Nintendo thing, I doubt they'd keep the constant 3-4 year release cycle with the ever-expanding scope of the Pokemon series. but hey I'm just some nerd that googles stuff too often, what do I know lmao

[@jooj0217]

TL;DR - The Pokemon Company's fault for rushing the devs, it's not unskilled staff or even Nintendo's fault on this (at least not 100% afaik).

The voice acting really fits! Especially with Cassiopeia! I heard from Ohmori the reason why Pokemon doesn’t have VA is due to it needing to be in multiple languages and that they’d like players to use their own interpretation of the character voices. But with scenes like Piers, Nemona battling you and Arven, it feels very awkward. The voices add more to the emotional impact. It’s understandable for games to not have VA in scenes from 20 years ago (like Final Fantasy VII-IX until X did it) but it’s not like that in modern times now.

[@marcuskw93]

Games like Elden Ring have only one language on VA, for thats ok because they all have the game 100% translated

[@nathanwidener9006]

I find this to be a dumb argument because most jrpgs only ever have Japanese and English voice acting, with text being translated into multiple languages. Having these long grand cutscenes with characters moving their mouths is really jarring without voice acting and makes it seem so lifeless.

[@lezard2102]

"due to it needing to be in multiple languages" .....the what now??? Dude, every game with VA that's been released for the past 25-30 years has always had English and Japanese voice acting and no one made a fuss about it, and you have some franchises that go the extra mile and do Spanish, German and French and even Latin Spanish. And all the latter examples that come to mind like Metal Gear, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Assassin's Creed, both Batman Arkham games, Marvel's Avengers are from mid to succesful franchises. We are talking about THE Pokemon company, the most profitable company in the world. lmao this is a very cheap and disingenous excuse they gave, almost on the level of dexit for more fluid animations.

He could've just said it's cheaper to not hire voice talent but most people would be fine with a jp/en dual audio with subs Pokemon is quite literally the only RPG series I can think of that still doesn't have VAs

[@toadstein]

@@lezard2102 nah it makes sense, unlike a lot of other games all Pokémon have localized names including in languages such as Spanish or German. Your mindset is a very ignorant mindset that only English speakers would have. They should only do it if they are able to do it in most of the language the game gets translated to. It would feel jarring otherwise to hear entirely different names for the Pokémon compared to what the text says, even with subtitles. In other games names generally stay the same across languages or only change when the language use different characters.

Please do all the scenes omfg this shit hits so different with voiced dialog

[@bonoshii]

They gonna need to set up a patreon or something this is quality voice work by everyone no exaggeration

[@Doyoulikeadacheese]

Man, I can't believe how much a simple thing like voice acting could enhance these cut scenes so much. Each one is so much more impactful and meaningful with it. Arven's scene with Mabostiff finally recovering really cut deep. Each one of these actors did a brilliant job, but I only have one slight critique. I feel as though Penny's speaking lines should have been done with a British accent. I feel as though it fits her character more, and also the fact that she is originally from the Galar region would mean that she'd naturally sound that way. But other than that, brilliant work.

omg this is soooo good. I already felt like the previous game needed voice acting since it was very cinematic. this is amazing.

[@1RandomPersonLol]

I loved this! I think that the voice acting puts more emotion into the characters (Example: The scene with Arven and Mabostiff). Good job whoever voice acted the characters!

[@Trosta55]

We need a voice acting mod for this game. In the meantime, hope you guys can do all the cutscenes. Would love to relive the story in this way.

[@BoltSpider]

This just makes me want this more in these games. There was so much potential for Voice Acting

[@Traxz180]

What GameFreak needs to be doing is hiring these voice actors for Scarlet and Violet Dub when it’s that time

[@mazio620]

The scene with Arvens dog made me bawl in tears

[@ZdsZodyrus]

Pokemon will sadly never have voice acting, cause they produce the games too quickly for them to have the time to fully voice one of their games. It's the same reasons that we don't get returning gimmicks from older gens or why they don't give us every pokemon to use

[@brandonwilliams6119]

Just goes to show how soulful your game can be with voice acting and good voice direction.

[@magmantis]

Please do more! I can’t imagine playing the game now without voices! I need more 😢 The voice acting was incredible by everyone also! ❤

[@rockowlgamer631]

Other than Nemona's voice feeling a little flat, I could've easily seen these voices work for the characters. ESPECIALLY for DJ Rhyme, Iono, and Larry

[@angelicwarrior118]

Don’t know about Ryme, but PAM Obake has done an Iono voice interpretation and I know of a guy who has done a tutorial on Larry’s voice.

[@MissMoontree]

Well done! This helps convey the emotions much better.

[@TakagiNishikata2049]

The voice acting is so incredible, I never felt so emotional by the Arven Voice Acing in the Mabosstiff Cutscene😭

[@analyticofexistance7847]

I love how Cassiopia used a simalar voice filter to L in Deathnote 😂 Also, these scenes hit so damn hard. SV had great storylines.

[@gijspeters8651]

Man the scene with Arven and mabostiff was already emotional as is but voice acting made it that much better i almost teared up

[@novemberninth4392]

I hope mainline Pokemon does voice acting someday, at least for their cutscenes. SV's final ending scene would make me bawl like a baby if it had voice acting

[@ergo6868]

I thought this was gonna be some crappy voice acting, but man, this hits quite hard on the Arven and Mabosstif parts.

[@briandesotel2097]

The game needs this so much, it adds the much needed depth that was lacking. I was drawn in quicker in that video, then when I played the whole game.
