ピカチュウは当初の予定ではアニメ数話を終えたら人の言葉を(ニャースのように)喋る予定だったのだとか。けれどあまりにも「鳴き声で感情表現が出来すぎた」ので、今のピカチュウが出来た。という逸話もあるくらいなので、改めて、〝声優〟の凄さを感じます。 Pikachu's original plan was to speak human language (like Meowth) after a few episodes of animation. However, Pikachu was too "capable of expressing emotions with his meow," so the Pikachu we know today was created. This is a great example of the power of a voice actor.
