'Is...Is he issuing commands?!?' Will Red lose the silent protagonist role?

[Shadowplusle]

not to sure about the pokemon cry theory that you just mentioned. i just think its jsut a random pitch that is played, but then again i could be wrong.

i posted in here a while ago and i just remembered that there are more protaginist that speak. cant beleive i forgot Fox mcCloud. i can be stupid. so no not all protaginists are slient like the ones in POkemon. but if they do make the pokemon trainer talk, they should give him Ash's voice from the show. it would make it seem more realistic

actually, the pt does talk - in ALL the games. he does issue commands in the handheld games. everytime he yells an attack, switches out pokemon, encourages them, yeah, thats him, not some translater standing right there. dontchu remember things like:
"Go, SQUIRTLE!"
"Come back, IVYSAUR!"
"Hang in there, CHARIZARD!"

also, if he loses, the box thing could show up and say "Player 1 whited out!", or whatever player you are or whatever name you have in, and then the screen would fade into black for a sec and he would be gone like in the games when all your pokemon fainted.

Looks like he talks. But in text form.

I don't think thats him. I think its a reference to the pokemon stadium games. Remember? It super effective. The triple finish part can just be a addition. I don't think he will talk. He might in the campaign (if he is in) but it would get annoying if he said it everytime your pokemon attacked.

I guess it would be kinda cool if the classic text boxes appeared at the bottom of the screen whenever a special is performed, kinda like the Triple Finish. Then it would stay true to the games. But it could get annoying after a while, seeing random text boxes in the middle of a fight.

I hope he talks. I think it would be hilariously obnoxious.

You don't have to talk to issue commands. You could always use facial expressions, guestures, and body language to get it through.

 

[FoxMaster77]

won't his attacks be a bit predictable if he always does gestures?
i'm excited how they're going to make him a competitive, suitable character...

OMG your right. Someone can learn the gestures and appropriately counter the move.

I wouldn't mind if the Pokemon trainer had a voice actor, just so long as it doesn't make me want to mute my TV.

Yeah like Fox in melee.....

 

[Hippochinfat]

gth

Yeah like Fox in melee.....

Fox's melee voice actor rocked. "Come on!" and "Mission complete" sounded so cool

 

[Kazydai]

Well it's better than having Pikachu scream out his eight bit cry in pain as he gets knocked off of the stage...

omg, that would be so freakin' hilarious!

I'm pretty sure that if he talks, he'll talk at the same time that you attacked. You know, like the falcon punch. Actually I wonder how the pokemon will sound more than I do the trainer.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I don't care if he talks...I'm looking forward to playing as him, but I still have to wonder why badasses like Samus/Snake/Link, etc. Just wouldn't casually walk over and blast/strangle/stab him to death. Lol.

 

[Ferio_Kun]

How would PT talking be any different then:

"Falcon PUNCH!" and "Falcon KICK!" and "Pikachu!"

Characters all have distinct sounds for attacks, so it will be no different then anyone else.

I think he will be shouting commands. Short and sweet ones like:

"Flamethrower!" and "Bullet Seed!" and "Waterfall!" etc.

RED is a Nintendo character. They don't have vocal chords. I actually feel really bad for Snake and Sonic, they only have each other to talk to for the rest of their days because all the first-party characters lack speech.

He's just going to point and do generic "WTF are you doing?!? ATTACK!" gestures like pointing and flailing his arms and legs.

Some people luigi and Ganondorf may talk, though.
and i heard in a video for SSE, Pit talks.
Actually, can i get a link to that, someone? plz.

 

[Rhubarbo]

He would actually answer commands and would say things like "good, now return!" Or, "Your foe's weak, go get em' ____".

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Also, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!" "Mishaahn Complete!" "Oh, did I win?" "Okay." "Pika, pika!" not to mention various laughs and grunts...
