[Sword & Shield] What if Sword and Shield had a cheesy announcer like the Pokemon Stadium games?

    • My favorite part of the old Stadium series (as well as Battle Revolution on the Wii) was the incredibly campy, over-the-top announcer who would narrate the battle. The original Stadium announcer was actually the first time I had ever heard the word "Seismic" out loud, and for years I thought "sees-mick" was how it was pronounced; 20 years later, I've never heard a single other human pronounce it that way.

    Seeing as Sword and Shield's battles are set up as massive sporting events, I was more than a little disappointed that there was no voiceover whatsoever. There's even a commentator's booth visible in the background of the stadiums!

    I thought I'd try my best to recreate the Stadium announcer to the best of my ability, which uh...well, I tried. And since I'm a huge weeb, why not throw in a Japanese portion for extra fun?

    Please let me know if anything stood out as in need of polish, or if there are lines I should have thrown in. This was very much a test project, I'd love to hear any and all feedback.

    • Battle Revolution was so memorable for me because of the announcer, and I keep seeing people talking about the lines he says in comments of videos, I think it'd be a really fun and charming thing they could bring back at any point, even if people would probably be a little disappointed that it doesn't mean the confirmation of a new Stadium game. Sw/Sh are kinda already their own Stadium games in a way. Having an announcer would be a fun way to tie it all together.~

    That was entertaining, and you delivered the Japanese lines with a lot of enthusiasm!

    I think it would have been cool to have that, at least as an option. The PBR announcer was a positive aspect imo.

    Rose being an announcer might be amusing though given he gets arrested. Maybe he'd continue streaming from jail? :v
