Lau Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I loved it. I completely forgot that this was coming out until it popped up on my timeline. Definitely going to the cinema to see this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightchao42 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That moment when Legendary treats the generations more equally than Game Freak does I wasn't expecting the "realistic Pokémon" aesthetic, but I think I'm liking it. And when Pikachu says "oh my God," is he referring to Arceus or some other God? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, you'd think people would talk about it more if it was a widely known creation diety, but they don't. Arceus is almost never mentioned, and people usually venerate local Pokémon more than it (ie Reshiram and Zekrom in Unova). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we all love Kaiji Tang he unfortunately doesn't have the star power to push ticket sales like Ryan Reynolds does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's something. Guess sometimes fan work can be used for the series it's from, eh? (I mean, it's not 1:1. Just look at the Mr. Mime in the image in the article) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaYeRaNoN Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Huh. This is a surprisingly calm thread. The trailer took me by surprise, that's for sure. A lot of people noticed the attention to details, and the main characters seem interesting enough. Most designs are surprisingly well integrated, they might stick as odd alone but in the live action's world they're set in, at least for me the pokemon are designed well. I can't apply that sentiment to Psyduck and Jigglypuff, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most offensive thing they will make Pikachu say is "you stink," "you are stupid," or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised at the trailer, Pikachu looks adorable, Charizard looks badass, I can understand some of the discorse with Jigglypuff but it doesn't phase me, and Psyduck looks like how I would imagine Psyduck to look like. I was joking to my mom about seeing this because of freaking Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu but it actually looks decent, and it has nods to the actual games, which means the guys behind this either: A. Are fans of the series. Or B. Did their research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see f I can find it if it turns out that I was wrong then my apologies The main reason I ask is because it seems a bit weird coming from GameFreak, since, to the general public, Pokemon is well known for being kid-friendly. Even though there are really dark Pokedex entires. And SM basically being a less sexual retelling of Kill la Kill. And Lysandre wanting to commit genocide in XY. And pretty much all of Gen 5. ..... How is this series E rated again? I mean, it's not as bad as freaking Sacred Stones, with Orsons implied necrophilia and most of Valter's lines toward Eirika.
