Trailer released for Detective Pikachu film

I can't believe I'm interested in seeing this shit. It's so off the fucking wall it works somehow.

The DeVito joke has a strong ring of truth to it which is that it's way funnier to have the discord between cute little Pikachu and the voice/personality of an old grizzled beat cop. Reynolds sounds like he's just doing his standard wise-cracking main character voice, absolutely nothing about his performance suggests "detective".

I don't care about Pokemon at all but this could look a lot worse.

Reynolds' voice is too associated with Deadpool at this point. Should have picked someone else

Current release date is a week after Avengers so unless it gets very positive reviews (or moves its release date) I really don't think this will break a billion

The new wave of merch associated to this movie will make billions just by itself. My younger sisters (who are 21 and 16) binged through the first few seasons of the anime because of PokemonGo. Those first 150 pokemons still carry all the weight, even for younger generap.

The pokemon are horrifying but other than that it looks great. I want to see more of that psyduck.

Ryan Reynolds must be stopped.

It's gonna end with Giovanni being behind some shit isn't it?

Does 'You can shove it?' has the same ...meaning? as 'Go f*** yourself?'

Asking because in the spanish trailer, the guy said 'Dice que te vayas a la mierda' which I guess it could translate into, well, 'He said Go f*** (or 'screw' i guess) yourself'

well I guess the photorealistic designs don't look any more off-putting than I expected

I NEED this in my life, I actually thought it was quite hilarious!

Where's Team Rocket?

This is a secret Psyduck movie

Betting pool that the end credits involve Ryan Reynolds singing the Poke'Rap?

Yep.
I give negative fucks about Pokemon but this...speaks to me somehow, it's just weird enough.

I struggle to comprehend in my brain that this is real.

Cyperpunk Pokemon vibes

Yes.

It's basically slang that means up yours.

Why does this look so good? I'm in shock.

They look creepy. Reminds me of the Christopher robin movie, which also looked creepy.

Psyduck looking creepy as fuck is super fitting tbh

Yup

this looks weird as fuck. not sure ff Pokemon translates well to CGI creatures... Also why Reynolds as Pikachu? His voice doesnt fit at all

I'm in

Honestly, that looks way better than it should.

Pikachu looks surprisingly good.

The rest of the Pokemon though, it looks like they didn't figure out a good texture for them. Charizard especially looks rough.

It's like Pokén with (a lot) more fur

It even looks like one of those shitty 90's cyberpunk movies judging by the look of the sets.

This is amazing. Midnight opening here I come.

In for the memes alone

This is Super Mario Bros (1993)

Not...bad.

I still can't believe this is actually happening.

I'm not even into Pokémon and think that looks pretty good. I never thought we'd see a live action Pokémon movie. My son is Pokémon mad, so can't wait to show him this when I get home.

Hairy pokemon is gonna be a thing now. Can't wait to see the Smash Ultimate retexture modes

me irl

I thoigth this would be stupid when I heard about it months back.

This looks so funny and inside-jokey for Pokemon fans. Day 1

If this is a taste of a real open world console Pokemon game, then im all in. I never thought I would want to see live action pokemon but somehow it makes perfect sense.

This cinematic universe will rival the Avengers. Quote me.

I have to see this. Ryan Reynolds voicing Pikachu is adorable to me.

Yikes, whose idea was this? Looks fucking awful.

That actually looks fun.

For people that are skeptical, Alex Hirsch, the creator of Gravity Falls, is one of the writers, and Gravity Falls is one of the funniest shows in years.

Great horror movie.

Ryan Reynolds bout to be a foul ass son of a bitch meanwhile everyone thinks he's just saying pika-pi

the game had you be a fat salty detective and it failed, WB KNOWS

Oh my god, what will this movie unleash? There's countless movies to be made in the world of Pokemon and it's literally the biggest media franchise of all time (in terms of money).

What's scary is that I'm 100% on board.

The only thing that bothers me is Ryan Reynolds voice.
It doesn't fit. Everyone else is hearing a sweet "pika pi" and the main character is hearing a grown up man.
I hope they use a different voice type in Germany.

It's looks rad and terrifying all at once.
