Pokemon Scarlet/Violet - Voice Actor Headcanons (Teal Mask and Indigo Disk Edition)

So, the version of this post I did for the main game turned out to be one of my all time most popular posts on this platform, and I'm honestly super happy about that. The majority of people seemed to really like the voices that I picked for each of the characters, and there were some fun discussions in the reblogs and comments.

So it was only a matter of time before I got around to doing the DLC characters, and now that Indigo Disc is finally out, better now than never. Pokemon obviously rarely has voice acting in the main series, so this is the next part of the series where I assign English VA's to each of the characters.

Before I get into this, there are a few points I need to reiterate, as I often do with these posts.

This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.

Every major character in the DLC is included here, so there are HEAVY SPOILERS for the game’s DLC storylines. DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE TEAL MASK OR INDIGO DISC OR DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED.

This VA Headcanons post is SPECIFICALLY for the characters from Pokemon ScarVi's DLC. If you want to see the characters from the main game, the post is here.

As was the case with Nemona and Penny, it's highly likely that the characters will get official English VA's in Pokemon Masters. Remember that this post was constructed prior to this.

So without further ado, I hope you enjoy my ideas. Or don’t. Your choice.

hey update on the nocturne no fusion run: it’s gonna be on hiatus.

ik this is sudden especially since it’s lucifer time but i got insanely burnt out. the last few weeks haven’t been great (seasonal depression especially sucks ass) and though i’m finally climbing out of that slump, whenever something like this happens, i need to take a step back from whatever i’ve been playing so it doesn’t cause some sort of relapse. this goes for a couple other games i’ve been working on and have live-blogged about. this doesn’t mean i’m abandoning anything!!! i just likely won’t get around to it until much later.

i still have a lot of grinding and skill resetting to do and tbh it hasn’t helped much because it kinda just. made my brain more mushy than it already is. i’m all over the place in general so sorry.

since i’m not sure when i’ll finally finish what i started, i did want to share some thoughts because i’ve gained a bigger appreciation for nocturne all by running through it again.

first off i forgot how fun team building can be. maybe it’s because without fusion i can’t do much with the demons i can get, but dammit it highlights a problem with a lot of turn based rpgs being the very little breathing room with how you can set up your team.

look, i adore monster collecting games but god there tends to be a definitive “don’t use this unless it’s in a specific way” tier that applies to nearly every one of them. pokemon kinda avoids this problem because of hms/tms and the breeding mechanic but that takes significantly more time and a vast majority of the games are kinda fucking easy. challenging for a kid especially when you get to the stuff like the battle tower, but there’s no incentive to build a good moveset outside of competitive play, and trust me—as an ex-competitive player—it does ruin the non-multiplayer combat in a ton of ways.

but ps2 era onwards megaten somehow gets around this still via mechanics like skill mutation. it’s random and hard to trigger but there’s still freedom, plus the way the games have always encouraged team building and learning how mechanics work is so rewarding. rpgs (action or otherwise) are my bread and butter but so many of them do fail to understand the importance.

nocturne’s combat flavor is so weird. it’s broken. really broken. somehow that’s the fun in it? when people talk about bullcrap smt moments there’s a reason nocturne comes up because it’s designed to be bullcrap. it fits the whole “the vortex world is harsh and unforgiving” angle.

the story structure is something i appreciate a lot more despite how flawed it is. talked about it a ton in a previous post analyzing how it handles characters like chiaki.

there’s so many fun and unique shots and angles and general framework that tbh isn’t something any other megaten has captured since, assuming they try. for all the ones that do post-nocturne, dds is the one that got the most cinematic but it doesn’t play with colors nearly as much. i love the raidou games (especially 2) but 2 got rid of most of the cgs and you could tell both games had much less of a budget than other atlus projects during that era. 4 and 4a have beautiful art and do fun camera movements but the hardware limitations make it so there wasn’t a ton of actual proper cutscenes. 5 is also beautiful and is aesthetic af but camera angles aren’t played with during conversation scenes.

the actual general issue is that talking stuff. nocturne doesn’t have a lot of strictly talking scenes, and the ones that are there are so spread out that you kinda forget they’re there. plus, some of it comes from pov shots like when talking with hijiri which does help with perspective. not many games period actually take the time to play around like that, making a lot of scene set ups feel samey. megaten is no exception especially in the ds/3ds era, and it kinda got abandoned tbh. the portraits and art are good yeah but they can only carry scenes so far.

also gained a bit of appreciation for tde. no it’s not the best written ending—the “bad”/demon ending and freedom ending are definitely the winners here mainly due to thematic importance. yes, it’s really shitty that going for other routes gives you half the content. you can do the amala labyrinth and then back out after beating metatron (as long as you don’t get to the bottom afterwards you can go for any of the other endings), but that’s still tde adjacent. however… i love how morally ambiguous tde is.

it is promising in several aspects but the consequences of said actions are huge. there’s still manikins in the vortex world, an entire society being built from what remains of tokyo even after the whole fight for the right to creation stuff happens, but siding with luci means destroying everything they’ve worked towards. the demifiend can liberate his and other universes from the cycle of death and rebirth, but that’s only if yhvh is defeated and, by extension, the great will. the great will has appeared before in megaten and isn’t actually a being, more a concept, only able to be fought in a comprehensible state. it’s literally existence itself. who knows what’ll happen if someone kills off existence?

gonna be completely honest, this is probably my new favorite mainline game. there’s a lot to it that i keep discovering and loving. (also on like a fandom standpoint i haven’t had a bad experience with the nocturne side yet/haven’t seen much of the toxicity so i’m biased lol). actually fucking slaps. it’s not perfect and some of it is more learning to love than love at first sight, but dammit it’s good.

Chiaki is playing pokemon GO near the manor.

Golden looked outside when she saw Chitaki. The eye that had black as it whites was the only part of her face that was visible as she hid behind a torn up curtains

[friend-maddie]

Random Danganronpa(mostly sdr2) HCs I have

Sonia wants to cut her hair short but her parents won't let her.

Teruteru CAN bake but prefers cooking. Yes, there is a difference and he WILL let you know that.

Akane has hip dips.

Hiyoko CANNOT float in water, she sinks like a stone.

Chiaki doesn't like playing Roblox, not because she doesn't like it, but because of the annoying ass kids that play it.

Hiyoko can't do her own pigtails.

If Toko's hair wasn't in braids, she would twirl and fidget with it (like I do, because I said so)

Byakuya makes the funniest faces whenever he's trying to read something without his glasses.

given the choice between Byakuya and Twogami, Ibuki would choose Twogami. (heir guitar forever)

Chiaki only played Pokemon sword/shield for Marnie and Piers. also, she/they is Bi. and uses she/they.

Ibuki plays heavy metal songs on the ukulele cuz she thinks it's funny.

fuyuhiko has autism.

FemShuichi is real

Hiyoko is afraid of Bill Cypher

[special-encounters]

"Hey Sonia, Chiaki. Is everything ready for Ibuki's birthday today?" Alter looked at the two, while Merric was still on his shoulder without saying anything else.

Of course, we have everything set my King.

You can count on us, Alter.

*she was still playing that pokemon*

[semitransparent-glob]

i think kazuichi, despite being a mechanic and all that, didnt have a lot of gaming consoles of any kind as a kid, so like. gundham asks him once if he's played pokemon and he says no, and then gundham is like ok. here. take my ds. i will show you how to play pokemon right fucking now. choose your starter.

and then they play pokemon together ^_^ and ofc chiaki joins in too, and so kazuichi just has 2 ppl leaning over both shoulders giving him pointers the whole time LOL

[ultimateask]

Hey chiaki, do you play any card games? (Pokemon TCG, Yu-gi-oh!, etc). If so, are there any other people here that you play with?

[ultimateplaylistmaker]

2 add 2 the "No More Soft Hinanami" post, what if Chiaki steals shit from thrift stores (mostly video game merch like mugs,shirts,special edition consoles from 1990-onwards) and she puts them in a secret pile in her room and Hajime has caught on with the habit and tells her not to steal but she keeps doing it anyways cuz who else would buy that stupid knockoff sonic shirt sold for only 5 bucks..she would.

shes kinda like dave strider when she buys knockoff stuff, she just does it out of irony and fascination of how fucked up and broken the games are..plus the shirts are pretty funny too!!!

one time she found 7 Grand Dad and gave it to Hajime for his birthday. needless to say, he had the same reaction as Joel's when he played it lolz

Chiaki is heading to New Mexico to dig up the old ET atari games herself, she must know how bad it is. She has 20 different hacked consoles for fucking around with, she has nuzlocked the infamous pokemon rom hack snakewood and Hajime has never heard her swear so much before, Chiaki did steal an entire arcade cabinet once but it's fine she promises, let Chiaki have more fun gamer traits-

oh my god her class + hajime definitely did a friendlocke, oh my god I am obsessed with that idea actually???

(To Chiaki) Your thoughts on the situation with Unity?

Honestly...Not only is it super unfair, but it concerns me. I'm not even a game designer, but with a lot of games I play being made in the Unity Engine, it really makes me worry about the future of gaming.

From an outside perspective, it's definitely problematic for the likes of indie developers or upstarting game designers...What they fail to realize is just how many titles have been using Unity for years now.

Genshin Impact, Pokemon, Fate, Among Us, Fall Guys, ReCore, Wasteland, Ori, Oddworld, Outer Wilds, Elder Scrolls, Gwent, Cult of the Lamb, Marvel Snap, Ultrakill, Dusk, Cuphead, Beat Saber, Rust, Subnautica, My Friend Pedro, Tunic, Classic DOOM, Hearthstone, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Dream Daddy, Life is Strange, Night in the Woods, Hiveswap, VR Chat, Stanley Parable...Too many to list.

Unity didn't shoot themselves in the foot. They dropped a Nuclear Bomb on their toe.

(To Chiaki) So I take that Pokemon is currently in it's fifth gen when it comes to the roster, right?

Yep! Currently in the fifth gen right now. Have yet to play it though.

Chiaki laid sprawled out on Midori's bed in the dorm, shirt riding up from the position with his arms raised up in the air while holding onto his Switch system. Eyes stare at the screen, glasses on his face, while in the middle of a raid in the latest Pokemon game. He awaits on his boyfriend's return, not a single care in the world. Chiaki made plans in his head to drag the younger along with him to check out the new stock arriving in his favorite store, yet that depended solely on when the other finished their tasks.

Downside to it all ? Being that the Ryusei Red completely engrossed himself in the game that he never noticed Ryusei Green's imminent return to the room. For someone much larger, they're surprisingly rather quiet in their movements. Though, if Chiaki had been busying himself with something less attention-seeking, he'd waste no time picking up on their return.

It plays to Midori's benefit.

That peek of his abdomen from beneath the hem of shirt enough to drive the younger crazy? Last thing ever imagined. Chiaki almost drops the switch upon his chest when teeth meet firm stomach. "Hyah--?!?!" The noise escapes the older without hesitation. Arms maneuver to place the Switch out of line of sight, peering down at Midori who's now bent over him, proceeding to gently slip tongue across the mark left by their teeth. It startled him, no way to take that back now.

"Takamine! Why are you biting my stomach? If you're hungry already, we can head down to the cafeteria, or even go out to eat together to a cafe! You don't need to go chewing on me! I'm sure I don't taste that good, as I can provide food but I am not the food!" Right? Well... in a literal sense, if anything. Midori's not in the mood... is he?
