- Thread starter NMFried
- Start date
I wanna hear Jigglypuff sing in that movie!!! And get mad too!!!!
Yeah.I'm sold on this.

If this was done in Japan it would probably be the same thing but with worse CG.
And also much less accurate to the game, given how diverse Rhyme City is.
I'm impressed the main kid isn't a white guy. And it looks way more expensive, polished and clever than I expected. Genuinely looks good.
yeah until in a few months it becomes

I'm loving everything about this. Sure it'll take a little while to get used to Reynolds' voice because of Deadpool but I think no matter who they chose the initial shock would have been the same.
Really really really can't wait!

I think you're going to get your wish. Seems like she put someone to sleep.
She already has the mic, could see her about to unleash the marker on that guy.
Lots of fans are going to inevitably dislike the style of the Pokémon, but I believe literally anything is more inspired than gen 7 models.
I think it looks fantastic! <3

I'm including kids who grew up with gen2/3/4 in there as well!
This YT comment gets it:
"Did these Warner Bros. mf's actually pull off a live action Pokemon movie."

must suck to suck, to have your thunder stolen by furry pikachu
More important, Pikachu says: "Comorrrrrrl?".
This detail reminded me of the times when Lloyd Irving used to say: "Jarl".
This actually looks really good. I dig how the Pokemon look, Pikachu is really cute.
Jigglypuff being furry weirds me out though.

Looks fantastic. I don't even like Pokemon. Definitely excited for this now. Can't believe all the purists complaining about inane things like the length of Pikachu's hair. All these Pokemon look about how I'd expect them to.
I really really dig the art style. For some reason I was thinking this movie was going to take place in "the real world" so when I saw the "Sinnoh League" poster in his bed, I got chills. The world building in this movie is next level and seems to have been done by some really dedicated Pokemon fans.
One small gripe about Pokemon I've had, ever since I was a kid, is that it lacks any sort of contextualization. So, it's always on the player to imagine encountering a wild Pidgey or clearing space to have a battle with a random trainer. Attempts at introducing context to this world are usually pretty poor ala the mainline Pokemon anime which kind of breaks the world to present a weekly anime instead of accurately portraying the world fleshed out in the games. (That's why I liked the Origins anime so much!) This seems like a really cool way to present the Pokemon world in a realistic and believable way. The Detective Pikachu angle makes sense because it gives the story something to dwell on outside of Pokemon battles which probably wouldn't have worked with this visual style. So, you're not breaking the world in the way the anime seems to do. But you're still contextualizing and fleshing out the world we've spent hundreds of hours imagining since we were kids... and that has me really excited.
We'll see when it comes out but as of right now my hype level went from 0 to 100 after this trailer. Despite the fact I don't think the trailer itself was all that great, I really enjoyed everything that was in it.

Why is Jigglypuff hairy. Pikachu looks a little too hairy as well. Danny Devito would have been a crazy casting seeing the trailer now, but I would have loved it. Movie looks okay, will see since it can't possibly be the worst movie to watch next year.
But also, people get mad if they do the same thing over and over!
Not having much of an interest in the Pokémon franchise prior to this I gotta say I'm impressed. This looks way better than I ever thought it would and if it turns out it's actually good I'll be catching this in the theaters for sure.
Yeah, he's doesn't have fur at all. Just scales
I legit think this prop looks amazing, whoever gets to take that thing home is lucky as fuck.
If there is they'll replace all riceballs with donuts.
I love it!
First good Pokemon movie ever? First good Pokemon movie ever.
The art style is mean to be a little off putting. Having anything similar to the games would just be too weird and anything hyper realistic looking would be too dull. The animatronic look makes it feel real enough while letting you know this is a different world of magic.

Not impossible TBH, they could use the Junji Ito special mangas as base.
A traditional movie wouldn't work.
Doing an entire journey from start to champion in 2 hours? Hell no
How do I put this?...
I laughed through the whole trailer. Not sure how to feel other than "entertained," lol
