Hear that? It’s my heart breaking

I’m sorry to have to crush all our hopes and dreams, but it looks like Danny DeVito most likely won’t be voicingDetective Pikachuif the game is ever localized in English.

Atan event in LA yesterday, DeVito was asked if he was aware offans wanting him to voiceDetective Pikachuto which he responded, “No. I don’t know what you’re talking about” before asking his fellowIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphiacast members, “What the fuck isPokémon?”

Devastating. But part of me wants to believe that he is just playing dumb because of an NDA with Nintendo. The rest of me realizes that DeVito is 71 years old and very well may be telling the truth and has no idea about the popular Nintendo franchise.

Maybe we should turn our hopes towards Matthew McConaughey?
