And we thought a console RPG was our one true wish for the Pokemon franchise.

A Change.org petition with nearly 40,000 signatures calls for the Always Sunny actor to be cast as the English voice of Pikachu in the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game Detective Pikachu.

To answer the inevitable question of "but... why?," we turn you to a top comment on the petition, which asks, "Why would I not want this?"

To be honest, we think Danny DeVikachu could propel the 20-year-old franchise to new heights. In the off chance that you're still on the fence about it, please open your mind and watch this fan-made Danny DeVito-voiced game trailer.

Congratulations! Your Pikachu evolved into Hollywood actor Danny DeVito!
