I remember when the first Pokemon movie came out, critics were falling over themselves to point out what a silly fad pokemon was.

Now here we are 20 years later, and they're making a live action movie with an A-list celebrity voicing Pikachu.

What a strange timeline this is.

the turning point was when a presidential candidate quoted a pokemon movie on national tv. that cemented us into the world line with much pokemon

I named myself Lily in Ultra Moon and didn't want to redo the intro so this has been a confusing and entertaining pokemon game. I'm at 65 hours and just now on the fourth island. I checked out of Black/Y pretty early and never got more than halfway through Platinum so I'm really stunned by how loving huge these games are now, knowing that there's a bunch left and then a big post game and catching em all and etc

But boy am I getting sick of the series tradition of "easy as gently caress until you fight crazy annoying bosses that will sweep half your team unless you brought the exact right types to counter and resist them". Guzma has been the worst offender there. Especially since I'm stubborn and hate reloading to pick up a different team so I just limped through letting half my dudes die and using Max Revives until one of my Eevees gets in a critical/dodge and I barely make it

Game is good as hell

Man, you know what's weird? Gengar is 4'11. I always picture her as just like a foot tall, but she's like the size of a person! She could just like walk around and open the fridge and wear people clothes. Freaky.

The thing I like about Reynolds is that while most other actors would be like "yeah I am voicing some stupid kid's show yellow rat", Reynolds is like "oh boi oh boi oh boi, I can't wait for the internet to see me voicing Pikachu. Screw you WB I'm releasing the trailer now!"

One thing that's always bugged me about Pokémon is texture. They look great as cartoons, but I have no idea what texture many of them would have if translated into a more realistic/detailed style.

Maybe it's best to leave that a mystery.

So is this movie like the Flintstones or something but with Pokémon instead? Is someone going to use a Scizor as a can opener and then it says, "It's a living!"

This guy is doing a datamine. I figure this isn't really a spoiler since we know what the Pokemon is.

I'm still intruiged as to why they coded in an ability? Maybe a post-game unlock? That'd be cool.

Wait a sec.

So is that supposed to be the Jigglypuff? Remember, that mic/marker was specific to one particular individual.

Does this movie take place in the same universe as the Anime?!

Or is it just a reference because recognizable character trait.
