Imagine the world’s favorite mascot, Pikachu, turning into a detective. This idea brought us the fun game Detective Pikachu. It didn’t stop there; we got a movie, then another, a game sequel, and more. That’s a lot of Pikachu action!
Detective Pikachu, first out on Nintendo 3DS, showed us a new side of Pikachu. Not just a cute mouse with a famous shout, but a smart detective with a voice that makes you think of an old detective with too many cigarettes. This twist came because a real detective’s soul got trapped in Pikachu’s body.
Back with a Gruff Voice
The buzz started with the Detective Pikachu Returns trailer launch on June 21, 2023. Fans got excited to hear Pikachu’s gruff voice again. But who’s behind this iconic voice in the sequel?
According to the Economic Times, Will Arnett brings Pikachu to life in Detective Pikachu Returns. And yes, Arnett is the new voice, replacing the previous actor who first gave Pikachu that unique sound.
Will Arnett is known for his deep, gravelly voice in projects like The LEGO Batman Movie and Arrested Development. His experience adds a lot to Detective Pikachu’s character, matching the game’s prequel vibe perfectly.
