What if there was voice acting in the games? How would nicknames work? Would classic characters use their anime voices? And what about the Pokémon cries?

The voices themselves don't necessarily have to be replaced. In the case of Princess Maker 4, they kept the Japanese voice acting exactly as it is and only translated the dialogie script appearing on the screen when they localized the game. No awkward dub voices (keeping the initial voice acting).
^ This. They can just keep the Japanese voices with whatever translated language for the text without having to dub over. Plenty of games these days have the option to turn on/off the voices as well. Also, in Kiniro no Corda 3 (the initial version), only major NPCs had voices and only storyline events had voice acting as well. Minor NPCs such as Student A didn't have voice actors, and minor comments didn't have voice acting, either.The voices themselves don't necessarily have to be replaced.

It seems like they did that for Fire Emblem Awakening too. I've played a couple of chapters (of the game in full; not a demo version) over at the Nintendo Experience booth at EB Games in Melbourne, and they were Japanese voices with English text.
For your character and the nicknames, I guess that would be voices during battle. Why not enable the option to record your own character voice and quotes? The 3DS has a mic, so that would be possible.
It's not impossible for Game Freak to develop voice acting as a new feature in the next generation. However, simply to put it in mind the kids won't probably gonna like it due to their imagination which are still high.
Young players love to play with the Playable Character and sometimes they're going to imagine if he/she IS a character itself. By putting the sound act, the young boys/girls' imagination would get ruined for good. As if like them isn't the character although they've played through the game for long.
It's a good idea I'd say but It won't work totally.
Alternatively, they could just not say your nickname and just address you generally. Say, if your nickname is ASDF1234, they wouldn't try to pronounce it, but just call you by 'Hey!' or 'So you are that kid' or something like that. The script on screen, of course, will show your nickname. They just won't say it.
