Note

The official TV Tokyo Pocket Monsters Sun and Moon anime website posted a news article on September 9th, 2018, announcing that Nicole Fujita would be a voice actor in this episode.

A Pikachu played by Nicole Fujita is going to appear?!
The Pokémon fan model Nicole Fujita attempts voice acting for the very first time!
She'll be playing a female Pikachu named "Kurin"-chan in the first episode to air after the timeslot switch,
Sunday October 7th's "It's an Outbreak-chu! The Pikachu Valley!"
Kurin-chan is called the idol of the Pikachu Valley.
Don't miss out on her role in the episode!!

We have a comment from first time voice actor Nicole Fujita:
"I've always wanted to try voice acting, but I'm really happy my first gig was in Pokémon.
I'm playing a Pikachu in this episode, but since my lines are also basically "Pika!" over and over, I was completely unable to picture how I should play the role at first. But I practiced at home and the staff was really kind to me, so I was able to get it done.
I did my absolute utmost with parts that weren't actually in the script as well, like giving the Pikachu a voice in a scene where it's running, so I want you to pay close attention so you notice those minor bits as well."

2018.09.09

ポケモン大好きモデルの藤田ニコルさんが、声優に初挑戦!
日曜日におひっこしして1回目、
10月7日(日)放送の「大量発生チュウ!ピカチュウのたに!!」で、
「クリン」ちゃんというメスのピカチュウを演じるよ!
ピカチュウのたにの、アイドルだというクリンちゃん。
その活躍を見逃すな!!

声優初挑戦の、藤田ニコルさんからコメントが届いたよ!

声優のお仕事は、いつかやってみたいと思っていたんですけど、初めての声優がポケモンで、すごく嬉しかったです。
今回、ピカチュウを演じさせていただいたんですが、基本的に「ピカッ」がメインのセリフだったので、最初はどう演じていいか全然イメージがつかめなかったですけど、家で練習をしたり、スタッフの方々にたくさん優しさをいただきながら、やり遂げることができました。
ピカチュウが走っているときの声とか、台本に書いてない部分も一生懸命演じたので、そういう細かいところも、見逃さずに見てほしいです。
