Holy shit I forgot this movie existed.

It wasn’t good. It’s one of the most boring movies ever.

>This is what pokemon will look like in 2012: the movie

I enjoyed it for what it was

>>58885355
It wasn't bad, but the main reason to watch it was seeing how the designs translated into live action.

pokemon past gen 1 killed it

too many blacks

>Remember that Super Mario Bros. movie from 1990 that was a complete critical and commercial failure? What if we did that with pokemon instead?
I will never understand what they were thinking with this one.

>mario got a sequel
>sonic 4 movies
>minecraft big sucess
this just show how dogshit and irrelevant the pokemon franchise is

>>58885355
iirc I remember liking it. Of course that was probably because the Sonic and Mario Movies didn't exist yet.
Also I remember people liked the Ditto woman.

Dumb.

They have no idea how the first movie worked and have been trying to copy it unsuccessfully. Like they literally thought "lets put mewtwo in it but make him also an evil old wh*te m*n (wh*te m*n bad)" would be a good movie. Oh and the kid has a deadbeat WH*TE father because wow that would be racist otherwise
meanwhile those movies realize you can literally just go "hey, this is thing from the game" and people clap and shit upon thinking of chickens.

>>58885437
The pokemon company has been the worst thing happened to this series

>>58885355
Reynolds is a bad actor that can do just one role, Hugh Jackman is better and probably cheaper than that meme actor

Solid reasoning is 'schizo' now?

>>58885355
The Sonic and Mario movies pretty much DP'ed it out of existence

>>58885355
NINTENDO HIRE THIS STUDIO

>>58885670
The only reason you think it's "solid reasoning" is because you are schizophrenic. Mentally ill people tend to think there is nothing wrong with them. A sane person realizes that your reasoning is severely flawed.

>>58885772
The studio wasn't the problem, the Monsterverse movies look cool, the real problem was them hiring a "realistic" hack designer for the mons

>Legenday's pitch idea for a Pokemon movie was a kid getting superpowers to fight with his Pokemon
Westerner corpos really do ruin everything they touch don't they?

>>58885980
>a kid getting superpowers to fight with his Pokemon
And lemme guess, he uses guns

>>58885994
They didn't specify, but I would bet that would factor in

How did he not know his dads voice?

>>58885355
Should've made the protag White or Asian

>>58885980
Sounds kino. The power of man should reign supreme.

Palworld live action would be better and more interesting

>>58885437
I found it amazing how literally none of the actors outside of Ryan Reynolds could actually act.

I used to think any random normie you pull off the street could be an actor, but this movie forced me to admit that acting really is a talent.

They put the movie on Netflix 3 weeks ago and didn't chart in the top 10 meanwhile Mario movie still in the top , what a flol

>>58885552
The worst part about Detective Pikachu is that Ryan Reynolds was the only actor involved who could actually act. All of the other "actors" in the movie somehow managed to be worse than him.

>>58886266
They put a nip actor too, nips can't act lol

>anime shit and flop
>Movies shit and flop
animation/movie are still floppest media of Pokemon

>>58886249
Nobody would watch it

>>58885728
>>58885437
This, the reality mario and sonic are more popular than pokemon, pokemon is just biggest multimedia franchise because it sells crap like cards, endless merchandise etc. but the reality pokemon is not that big like vp and pokemon fans pretend and the Pokemon anime already has a bad reputation

WOOWWWW who could've seen that coming! They made every wrong choice possible and I'm glad it flopped.

both dbz and pokemon mogged by one piece live action lmao

pokemon designs are garbage for a live action

>>58885355
The movie was boring and it's so funny it's considerably lamer than other video game-based movies released later. It's only undoubtly better than FNAF 2. This thing's only virtue was trailblazing the rest

>Let's make a Pokémon movie
>But it's not about pokémon battles
>It's not about catching pokémon
>It's not about raising pokémon or making friends with pokémon
>It's a buddy cop story with a talking pikachu based on the plot of a 3DS spinoff game with grungy aesthetics and realistic designs that have nothing to do with the rest of the franchise
Yeah no wonder no one remembers this movie. What the fuck were they thinking

>>58886903
>grungy aesthetics and realistic designs that have nothing to do with the rest of the franchise
This was the fucking problem, bad actors were a given since it was a videogame adaptation but how do you fuck up the main point? And the worst thing is that you can look at their Godzilla movies to know they could have done better design wise

>>58885355
>The movie we all forgot
Good
The pokemon in this are so fucking ugly. Didn't they literally HIRE THIS MAN with that one dude that would make "realistic" pokemon on deviantart?

Honestly if any movie should be the template for a Pokemon movie, it should The Goonies or How to Train Your Dragon

>>58886261
>Ryan Reynolds can act
Being yourself isnt acting

>there was a sequel and and a Gen 1 spin-off planned months ahead of release
>the movie ends with Detective Pikachu turning back to normal, making a sequel illogical
>Nevermind the fact that the ending spoiled the Detective Pikachu Returns game
>the movie basically disavows of Pokemon battles, making the Red spin-off dubious as well
>the teraleak shows that Game Freak believed a "Great Detective Pikachu" movie was planned for 2024, but there's no other indication such a movie even existed
>Tim's actor claims he was never contacted for a sequel
This whole subseries clearly had troubled development from the beginning. Just sheer mismanagement and miscommunication between the filmmakers, studios, IP holders and game devs.
It's probably a small miracle the movie came out at all and made a profit.

>>58888779
Nevermind the fact that Pikachu the Movie has been dead in the water for half a decade now.

It had a decently high budget too. It's weird looking back on it now that video game movies are a successful if lame formula. The "pokemon but real" thing is extra bizarre with how important the art style is for the franchise. How did that get green lit? Was nobody paying attention the entire time?

>>58885355
You know the movie was bad because the Pokémon transformation fetishists didn’t make porn of it.

>>58885355
Why would you use a literal who like Justice Smith as MC?
