Hm, very interesting to read. But I doubt the Japanese voice will be seen outside of Japan.

We've already seen a clip of his voice on GetTV and... it's not pretty. At all. But that just makes it nice to hear. It's pretty obvious that it's a guest voice, and those who know who it is will be thrilled to hear it. Pokemon is very popular with a few soccer teams I was familiar with back when I was in Japan.

Let's not forget that Pikachu was the official mascot for the Japanese team in the world cup.

Of course. That's part of why they did this collaboration in the first place. =P
