Would it have been a bigger hit had they just adapted the series instead of Detective Pikachu?
>>216012914Yes. This movie gave me the impression that they wanted to make it about anything other than cartoon cockfighting which is the whole fucking appeal
>>216012914Lets see you fucking try condensing a RPG into a 1 hr 30 min - 2 hour film retard
>>216012914>they actually thought that one reddit meme "what if pokémon but real" design was appealing
>>21601445596 minutes of pure kino.
>>216014455Uhm...
>>216012914This movie was like if they did that original Sonic movie design but then didn't redo it when people hated it. Remarkably unappealing Pokémon in this, visually. They looked like old, abandoned plushies you found at your parents' house in the garage. Also the story was complete ass lol his dad was a fucking Pikachu
>>216014742I officially grew out of Pokemon after Jirachi Wishmaker. I was hyped as fuck and saw it then remember not giving a single about deoxys even though he was objectively cooler I guess my balls dropped between them
>>216012914Might have had more success (especially in Asia) if they hadn't made the lead a nigger.
>>216012914>adapted the seriesThe anime, or the games? Because the games don't have enough proper plot to be adaptable.
>>216012914It came out the same time as Avengers Endgame, the biggest movie of the decade regardless of your opinion on it.Not to mention this was still in the decade where every single Disney movie was making a 800M to billion dollars (even Pixar films). Nowadays people forget since it is cool to hate Disney but back then, Normalfags were OBSESSED with Disney and ONLY willing to consoom Disney movies. To the point that Disney was almost a Religion to Normalfags. Making anything non-Disney was almost always a guaranteed bomb (with a few exceptions).
