Pokemon's the world's most successful media property, full stop. Pokemon Go alone made most of a billion just last year.

Why wouldn't it make a billion if it was any good?

So a coffee addiction is the film noir for kids equivalent of whiskey, right?

it might be in reference to how dialogue was changed in games like Earthbound and Pokemon whenever alcohol was mentioned they changed it to coffee

rather than a drunk guy blocking your path in Pokemon, it was some old dude who really needed his morning coffee.

I heard it was actually coffee in the originals in some cases. And Phoenix Wright drinking grape juice in Apollo Justice. Not sure if that was taking the piss or not. Also of course Soda Popinsky.

That said, a noir detective being addicted to coffee feels like it makes complete sense anyway.

Come to think of it, from what little of the genre I know (almost entirely from parodies, like everyone else) a noir detective lives almost entirely on whiskey, coffee and cigarettes.

Are you kidding me? In our grandparents day only true trash like Gone With The Wind made that kinda money. Now real art has a chance.

My only concern is that Jurassic World 2 Guy and Girl Trainer appear to be friends in this movie when convention dictates they be rivals for no real reason

The thing with Pokemon now is that your rival is also your best friend and thinks you're really cool.

You guys are really over-analyzing the coffee line. It’s just a Garfield-tier joke. Pikachu probably also hates Mondays.

I’ve always said Ryan brings a lot of acting expertise to this role, and this video proves it. Truly no one else could make this much of a commitment.

I’m gonna be honest, if I don’t see Ryan Reynolds in a full sized Pikachu suit at least once during the press for this film I’m gonna be disappointed

That's about right for the size Snorlax is in the anime and could easily block a lane.

he's a fetus

i'm operating under the assumption that mewtwo's presence is a significant spoiler, which would suck, but maybe the real twist will be something even dumber like 'mewtwo is the protagonist's dad'
