Why do pokemon say their names in the anime? Do you prefer them say their names instead of their in game cries?
>>25749324
Nah.
And they do it to show that Pokemon have a weird language that only they understand. At least in the show they do? Didn't see much Origins so do they have speech in there?
This raises the idea that Pokemon are sapient and socially a slave race to humans to a large degree. Why the anime does this I dunno. But at least the furfags are happy.

>Why do pokemon say their names in the anime?
because that way it's easier for children to identify them
>>25749324
Haven't they always been saying their names in the main games as well? Not in the battle cries of course, it's when you talk to some NPC Pokémon in the overworld. Some just roar or groan, but certain ones say parts of their names just like in the show. I can't remember if this was true for Gen 1 but I'm positive it is for Gen 2 and onward.

Imagine this Abra's cry ingame:

That fucking monster still scares me...
>>25749324
what really gets on my nerves is that some of the pokemon in game have a cry and some say their names. its fucking annoying. just pick already.
>>25749654
Yeah, it was in gen 1. The translators just left them untouched, so you got things like Clefairy going "pippipi!"
>>25749654
Well Pikachu does in Yellow and does in XYORAS
So at the very least that's what Pikachu does.
I watched the show before playing the game so in my mind they are supposed to say their names. I always thought the cries were just because they couldn't VA the voices on the hardware. Game Freak I would assume has say in the anime so if they were the ones with the "names as speech" idea, I would imagine that's how it's supposed to be

To add, I think some pokemon like the Regis and Deoxys are incapable of any soeech and that's why they just make noises. I think that lines up with the anime as well though
>>25749324
>Why
A memory method for childrens

>Why do pokemon say their names in the anime?
Been watching a bit of Pokken and I prefer the style of cry there instead of them saying their names as their cry.

easier marketing
Has anyone made a romhack in which they replaced all the cries with the anime voices?

Most mons in Pokken say parts of their Japanese names as cries, just a little more subtly than the anime. Machamp says "Riki" from Kairiki, Garchomp says "Ga" and even "Gaburias" in its entirety and so on.
I figured the ones that have a cry like their name were named after their cry (although it's not like we call dogs barkers).

Regi was actually speaking there. At the end it said "No"
>>25750031
Exactly, it's entirely a marketing decision. This is why some mons can talk in the anime, and why some just roar/grow (Charizard).
