Pokemon fans were surprised to learn that the Pikachu in the upcoming Detective Pikachu game can talk, and now one Change.org petition wants Danny DeVito to voice everybody's favorite electric rodent.

As of this writing, over 38,000 people have signed the online petition, which will most likely hit its 50,000 requested signatures within the next few days. While the Japanese version of Detective Pikachu already has a voice actor, a voice actor for the English version has not been announced.

DeVito's lengthy Hollywood career has supplied a wide variety of quotes that would work well for the English Detective Pikachu, so much so that YouTuber Tealhollow1 has created a mashup of audio from DeVito's acting with scenes from the Detective Pikachu trailer.

After you watch it, you'll want to vote for Detective Danny Pikachu, too, which you can do here.
