Pokémon is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and Nintendo is pulling out all the stops to make it the franchise's biggest year yet. From special events to re-releases of older games like Pokémon Red and Blue, it's a great time to be a Pokémon fan.
t's also a strange time. As part of the franchise's 20th birthday, Nintendo recently unveiled a new downloadable game called Great Detective Pikachu that will be releasing in Japan next month.
There's no word yet on whether or not the game will come stateside, but that isn't stopping the Internet from having already decided who should provide the North American voice for the well-loved Pokémon: Danny DiVito.
Yes, that Danny DiVito, the well-known actor and director famous for his roles in Taxi and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. A Change.org petition with 1,700 signatures and counting is politely asking Nintendo of America to consider the iconic actor for the role when it comes to North America (if it comes to North America.)
"There are a number of us that feel as though Danny DeVito would be a prime fit for the voice-acting role of the Detective Pikachu," petition creator Sairith Aramor writes. "We want to make this happen

its a short article so sorry if i quote most of it, but with the election crap going on lately, theres a vote we can all get behind
please based deity, make this happen
"Rule numbah 95, kid: use Thundershock!"
this must happen
no
THIS WILL HAPPEN.
Got my vote. I'd buy it if it becomes reality. If not, it'd probably be whoever plays Date from Sengoku Basara or something akin.
I'd only sign if they also get Charlie Day to play his Pysduck/Slowpoke/Togepi sidekick. Yes, there probably isn't really one, but DeVito and Day just WORK so well on It's Always Sunny that they NEED to be together.
Words of conviction from DeVito himself: JEHCK-OOKHOOKHOO!!
If Danny Devito voices Pikachu this will be the first ever Pokemon game i ever play.
I know it will never happen, but deep down I want this solo badly.
I WANT MY PIKAVITO
I'm a Pokémon, I like shocking people, I like rummaging through [B][I]trayash[/I][/B] and I like banging [B][I]hoors[/I][/B].
I mean,[URL="https://youtu.be/ujjo3Mebyas?t=35"] he's done cartoon characters before. [/URL]

I think people already forgot about that :v:
I was just thinking of how cringeworthy the English version would be with one of those typical 4Kids-esque VAs. Danny would be fucking perfect for the role.
Hahaha, you gotta love Danny DeVito

I guarantee this won't happen. Would be pretty funny though.
I laughed at this before but now he's the only one I can imagine as Detective Pikachu.
"If you don't tell me what you know right now, so help me I will Thunderbolt you so hard you'll be needing a full restore!"
Either get Danny DeVito or one of those ultra-serious edgy VAs. Like Steve Blum.

[I]I'm gonna shove this pokeball right into your ass: hard and fast. Not in a sexual way, in a "I am pissed off at you" way.[/I]

Or maybe Jamieson Price (the voice of Garen and Nier). There's a voice that you wouldn't expect to come out of a cute electric mouse.
Maybe even go crazy with Liam O'Brien, whether he goes with the smooth deductive tones of Grimoire Weiss or the gruff anger of Asura.
