Does "Pokemon Legend Z-A" require a voiceover? Polarization of player opinions

Jul 31 2025

Although many games use full voice configuration, some Japanese classic IPs still insist on the tradition of no dubbing. Taking the "Pokemon" series as an example, the player community recently held a hot discussion on whether to introduce character dubbing in the new work "Pokemon Legend Z-A", showing a polarization trend.

 This series has maintained no dubbing features for a long time, until "The Legend of Pokémon: Arceus" added exclusive voice to the protagonist for the first time in 2022. The mobile game "The Master of Pokémon EX" also tried some voice content, marking the brand's breakthrough exploration in the field of dubbing.

Players who support full voice believe that referring to the vivid interpretation of the characters in the "Pokemon Iron Fist Championship", the complete dubbing can build an animation-level immersive experience and effectively enhance the attractiveness of the game. The opposition camp emphasized that the "Pokemon" series does not need to deliberately break through tradition, and core fans are accustomed to using words to supplement the character's voice. This blank space is exactly the unique charm of the series.

As of now, the official has not released a clear signal that "Pokemon Legend Z-A" will be equipped with character dubbing. This new work, scheduled to be released on October 16, 2025, has a voice configuration solution that is still pending. Dear downloaders, do you prefer to maintain a classic style or support innovative attempts?
