So I suppose I'll be told to 'urusai urusai ursai', be called a 'inu' and a 'baka' and will have to get used to dodging random thunderbolts that'll super effectivly kill me if I tick off pikachu should I get stuck ith her as my partner...

I believe that's Ai Nonaka as Espeon.

And I wish my 3DS could do that...

Interesting.

I wonder why Ikue Ohtani didn't wind up doing the voicing for the short. Contractual obligationsm perhaps?

Possibly. The Bianca/Bel's voice actress in both English and Japanese didn't reprise their roles in the animated promo for Black 2 and White 2.

Besides, it's not like this is Ash's Pikachu anyway.

I would like to think that each pokemon have their own "voice" just like people do.

Friendship!

Not all Pikachu have had the same seiyuu. Hiroshi's Pikachu was voiced by someone else besides Ikue Ohtani. Not all Pokemon have the same seiyuu, they're individuals as much as humans are. Plus it's not like Rie Kugimiya hasn't voiced characters in this show before. And Nonaka Ai as Eifie? Nice.

Interesting, Rie Kugimiya is one of my favorite seiyuus. Too bad I don't own a 3DS. To anyone who disses Rie, URASAI URASAI URASAI! BAKA CHIHUAHUA! Anime hyper

Hearing Kugyuu~ as a Pikachu was utterly adorable. I'm not a Pokemon fan, but I'd so watch an anime series if it had Kugyuu~ as a Pikachu as one of the main characters.

Im seriously digging that they have been making nice animated trailers for their games lately, I hope they continue this trend in the future.

Except that Pikachu is almost neon yellow in these. She seems so BRIGHT.

Why can't the Pokemon tv series, and movies for that matter, have animation as good as the game trailers?
