Thank you Robot Style for giving us a little behind the scenes perspective, it's cool. Also, I'm glad there wasn't much battling, weirdly enough. I think with how realistic it was, any more battling would kinda feel cruel.

I thought there was a minimum of 256 steps to generate an egg at the daycare but my Ditto and Torchic just did the deed and popped out an egg within like 20 steps.

IIRC the 256 step counter still goes even if there's nothing in the daycare.

Between the Sinnoh League poster and the outright mention of Mewtwo being from Kanto it seems to take place in the same world as the games and/or anime, which has some interesting implications.

I saw Detective Pikachu! It's not a very good movie but it is a REALLY GOOD Pokemon movie. Also my favorite Pokemon Togepi makes a cameo, I am truly blessed. My biggest issue with the movie was them trying to say with a straight face that Mewtwo was the most powerful pokemon on earth when the dude is standing in front of the Sinnoh legendary statues. Like, is Arceus a joke to you? CUTE STORY TIME: during the movie, when Mewtwo is recaptured by the Omega Ditto with laser pods and taken away, some little kid cried out "Mewtwo!" and the whole theater erupted into "awws" of heartfelt laughter. It was loving magical, ok. You go live your best life, kid. We all love you.

In my theater when the first Bulbasaur showed up onscreen a kid who'd been shouting the whole film shouted "WOW what is THAT" which makes me wonder if he'd only ever seen the later gens of Pokemon and we're all very old, or if it was maybe that kid's parents and not the kid himself who were into Pokemon.

I am a stupid babby nerd who put too much time into that and came to the conclusion that This takes place in the games' continuity, and that in the games and here, the Pokemon anime exists as an anime, and Ryan Reynolds watched the dub (possibly with Justice Smith back before the mom died, or maybe even after to try and be able to connect with his son) or it's just a reference

I believe that Arceus existing at all isn't really common knowledge for people in the Pokemon World, despite all the people saying "oh my Arceus" in fan fics.

It is enough in the Detective Pikachu world that a character has a statue of it and Pikachu goes "sweet mother arceus" at one point as shown in the trailers. I think it's a bit of using the phrase "strongest in the world" literally and a bit of legendary pokemon being, well, legendary and thus not everyone believing they exist anymore.

Yeah, most Legendaries aren’t commonly known of outside their region and even then they’re mostly thought of as myths. The only real exception is Alola where the Tapus regularly play a role in society

It's kind of true for all legendaries and mythicals.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:It is enough in the Detective Pikachu world that a character has a statue of it and Pikachu goes "sweet mother arceus" at one point as shown in the trailers. That said, some legendaries clearly are around. The old battle poster says "Articuno vs Steelix" which implies at least the others of the trio are known. And while Lugia is good at hiding, Ho-oh is probably out there too if the other birds are flying free. Which then implies the legendary beasts are running around too. That said, I think that'd be fine since it's not really till gen 3 that Legendaries become beings than can mess with the whole world. I hope we get maybe some spin-offs or sequels for this setting though. I think it's very cool to see a more "realistic" approach.

Mewtwo is an atheist therefore Arceus isn't real therefore Mewtwo is the strongest.

Thanks for the extra info! I didn't think about the Growlithe thing but it makes complete sense. I don't know if you worked on Bulbasaur, but its scene made me tear up. I was so happy to see my favorite Pokémon be so wonderful and helpful on screen. Xander B Coolridge fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 11, 2019 |

Dammit, now I need to watch it again because I absolutely was thinking 'wow there are a lot of Audino' the whole time. Favourite dumb dork moment: when the Bulbas take Pikachu to 'a healer Pokemon', there's a shot of distant Comfey flying down right before the Mewtwo reveal, so the fakeout worked twice as well on me. I did also briefly wonder if there was gonna be a Celebi reveal. Also Morelul is my gf's favourite Pokemon so she was trying very hard not to yell with excitement during that whole scene

Did anyone else notice a sign on the far right in one of the city street scenes that was in Hiragana/Katakana? Looks like they forgot to change that one into Pokescript or w/e it's called. I do appreciate so much of the film seems to have been being shot in Japan and the cars being all right-sided and what not.

I wasn't sure at first, but the license plates and certain skyscrapers like the Gherkin kind of gave it away.

The target pokemon app thing seems to let you get multiple codes, but after you close out of the menu the option goes away.

It wasn't hiragana for kimono, that I know for sure. And I glimpsed a FU or RA in katakana. Where's Detective Pikachu? We got a case to crack, here.
