That insanely awesome announcer is insanely awesome.

"this could get dangerous if it lasts too long!" is said really cheesy.
 
I hate it when he says "____ is slowly Lo~sing it health"... He sounds so wierd when he says it. IMO I like the Japanese one better...

I dunno if someone's already pointed this out, but he completely contradicts himself sometimes.


"COMPLETE DESTRUCTION BY SHADOW FORCE!" when Giratina is faced up against, say, a dark - type and it doesn't do much damage. The announcer will then follow with, " But this is not a favorable matchup!"

Why say "complete destruction" in the first place?

Also, I like how the announcer says... "Ohh, it just got burned!" (Like it was insulted-burned, not fire-burned.)

I guess he has some good lines, but his damage calculations are wacky. You know, when he says "massive damage!" when a super-effective but weak attack hits, or his annoying taunts when you hit with a not very effective attack. That's mainly why I plain with his voice off.

I love it when that happens, whenever I face a Giratina or an Arceus who has Shadow Force I switch into something that resists it just to hear it. :p

Yeah, Insanely awesome!

... Ok, so he's starting to get repetitive. I would admit that. Well, at least I get to hear more stuff like "BIG HIT!!" and "CRUSHING BLOW!!"

Yeah, he IS great! ^_^

Only thing is, I would like for him to actually say things for specific moves, but not just when it means that the move is going to make the opponent faint.

He is a really cool addition. I don't think I'd have enjoyed the game as much as I do without him.

I remember that he says something special for Gunk Shot...can't come up with what it is...
 
I really do like the announcer, he makes the game realistic. And isn't he the announcer from the anime as well? I'd count that as another plus.

Of course he can get annoying, but I love him all the same. :p

the announcer is pretty cool. but he sounds really calm if you compare him to the one in the pokemon stadium games, because on those, he sounds like he's really into the match, and raises his voice.

"THEY'RE DOWN, THEY'RE BOTH DOWN!!!!"

He was the old announcer and narrarator, but somewhere around Dewford in the Hoenn series, they started using someone else.

I would never turn the announcer off. (I haven't actually got the game yet but...:/)

From the times i've played it he makes it that much more exciting.
