@O_My_TVC15@thewoluff Agreed their characterization and voice acting added so much depth to the entire narrative it’s actually really crazy, the way the entire brand IP was like compounded just by having more dialogue and character interactions……
@CaptainClaood Fox is so hot!!! Like huh? But also I like superimpose the “a fox in space” design and voice acting over any starfox stuff anymore in my headcannon so I think that makes up for it
@NintendoAmerica I think fox looks sexyyyyy hehehe but then slippy’s character feels so hollow compared to how much of an anchor slippy was to the dynamic in 64, them having like the high pitched timid voice was so charming.

Did you know Pikachu has a surprisingly consistent “language” in the anime and fans have decoded what many of his “Pika” variations actually mean?
• “Pikapi” = Ash
• “Pikachu-Pi” = Misty
• “Pika-Chu” = Brock or Axew
• “Pikaka” = Dawn
• “PiPiPi” = Togepi
• “PikakaPika” = Bulbasaur
• “PikaPika” = Squirtle and several other Pokémon
• “PiPi-kachu” = Team Rocket
• “Pi-Pikachu” = Victory cheer (“I did it!”) said after winning badges, catching Pokémon, etc.
• “Pika-Pikachu” = Referring to or introducing itself
• “Chaa” = Happy/excited sound or yawning
• “Pika!” = “Wait!”
• “Pi-kaPika” = “Goodbye”
• “Piiika-Chuuuuuu!” = Thunderbolt
• Other move calls like “Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika, Chuuu Pii!” for Electro Ball are also consistent
Ikue Ōtani has voiced Pikachu for 25+ years and has kept these exact speech patterns remarkably consistent across thousands of episodes.
Note: While these patterns are very consistent and repeatable in the anime, this is not an officially confirmed full language by Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. Team Rocket once called it “Pika-speak” in a single episode, but these meanings are fan-decoded interpretations based on context and repetition rather than official canon.
@marsiekewpie@madsssagascar So like some colors can only be interpreted by our Brian as either or, so like our brain uses that binary of color perception for blue versus yellow and green versus red so it uses that to like help guess what color is which because it’s like kind of easier that way :p
