The recently revealed trailer for the upcoming “Great Detective Pikachu” has been garnering massive acclaim, so much that overseas fans have been petitioning for Danny DeVito to serve as Pikachu’s voice for the unconfirmed English release – an unlikely outcome considering the success record of internet petitions.
The title will feature a talking Pikachu cohort (a rarity amongst Pokemon) who will serve as the player’s companion in regards to solving various Pokemon-related mysteries, essentially ruling out murder and the more gruesome crimes given the franchise’s general E-rating.

The edited petition version with Danny DeVito’s voice:
The Great Detective Pikachu: The Birth of a New Duo can start sleuthing about with its arrival to the Nintendo eShop on February 3rd for the 3DS; those interested in supporting the petition (currently boasting a terrifying 35,000 signatures) can check out its official page.

Isn't Pikachu female, though?
In the anime, Ash's pikachu is male, but it's voiced by a woman.
No, only the ones with the heart-like chip in the tail are female. The males (like the one in the game) have a flat edge to their tail.
I rather like George Takei
Ohhh myyyy...
No Fags, unless he wants to play trap then ok!
the only way nintendo/game freak/pokemon company will listen is if kids ask for DeVito...and I doubt there's many kids who know who he is unless they watch It's Always Sunny.
this could be either really interesting or really really bad.
Suddenly in the mood for Batman Returns, oh nostalgia.
Oh wow, this looks pretty interesting.
That English trailer though.
And is it just me, or was that Ash's Pikachu at the end? I believe the detective Pikachu said something along the lines "That partner you're traveling with, let him know that dreams can someday really come true".
For shits and giggles,I'll take Bobcat Goldthwait as this version of Pikachu.
Or better yet, have Marc Maron voice Pikachu whenever he gets angry!
Someone take a bunch of Lenny Briscoe sound clips from Law and Order and apply them to Detective Pikachu
To hell with Devito. Gilbert Gottfried.
Arnold Schwarzenegger or STFU...
I like Danny DeVito's movies. So it would be nice if it happened.
Horrifyingly enough, Danny DeVito might actually fit this portrayal of Pikachu without altering the character too badly given the original Japanese VA choice. So yeah, it could happen but probably not.
I prefer moemon over this, but I'm curious about why it's base on the west or it's just an example or something else.
