A friend shared that clip of talking Pikachu and it…
Just made me speechless. It was an absolute disaster.
The whole concept of the scene was okay and I can see where they were going about it; trying to make Ash seem like he could understand Pikachu as he’s loosing consciousness. That’s not bad concept at all. Pokemon talking is not bad either. There has always been exceptions to Pokemon not speaking, a great example being Lucario.
The bad thing about the scene was the execution. Not only was the voice cringey, the way it was delivered and presented was not very well done at all. Personally, actions speak louder than words so having Pikachu snuggle up to Ash and ignoring the Pokeball might’ve been powerful. I don’t hate on any one who likes the scene but there is a reason why the majority don’t.
