Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Makes his English Pokéspeak voice even more of a waste. I mean, it's not horrible, but they could have tried to make him sound like a cool ninja instead of a sneaky childish psycho.

No, no! We wants the Yuyama man! He decides the voiceses that Sakurai man puts in gameses! Because tricksy Yuyama man is the director of nasty animes!

Japanese voice is cool (from what I've heard), English voice is merely "okay, fitting, slightly tolerable and at least it gives him personality". It feels like they were contractually obligated to give it an annoying Pokémon Speak voice and did the best they could with it.

he sounds cute in english, the japanese version sounds like something that belongs in a sewer

english voice is way more comfortable to listen to when using the character constantly

He does, his English voice is simultaneously badass, cute, annoying, crazy, sneaky and evil while not really excelling in any of those categories.

I think it helps that he mixes up his sound clips when using attacks, if you spammed an attack and he went "Greninja! Greninja! Greninja!" constantly, it'd get real annoying real quick.

I am fine with Greninja's voice, it's great.

I also love how Xander says Greninja's name with a hint of mystery behind it.
