Following success of Pokémon GO, Legendary Pictures seeks deal to make a live action Pokémon film - Polidicks

Guest starring Christopher Walken as Charmeleon.

Making a CG film would be a better move.

[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;50700496][media]https://twitter.com/USMC/status/752602019341361152[/media] welp when the U.S. MARINES post stuff about it, you can tell it's most certainly popular :v:[/QUOTE] [media]https://www.twitter.com/NYPD19Pct/status/752530728588603392[/media] pikachu is working with the fucking feds

[QUOTE=Primigenes;50700612]Can you imagine how jarring a live action Pokemon film would be? CG is the only way this could ever be done without traumatizing the majority of your audience with out of place CG Mew Twos[/QUOTE] Mew would be just as bad if they did throw out the Ken Sugimori art-style (which is almost a certainty), it's partially based on an embryo.

Watch it be directed/produced by Michael Bay or some shit

Just watch [url]https://youtu.be/e1h5TzdTq0o[/url] Way better

But the tv show continuity is garbage There's a good reason the 14 sequels weren't released in theatres like the first (two?) were [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] If anything a continuation of Origins would be better

Though the English dub ruins everything about it. All the movies suck so that point is irrelevant

[QUOTE=usaokay;50700772]If they're moving with a Pokemon film, I kinda hope it's set within the same continuity as the TV show.[/QUOTE] The TV show barely has any continuity. Ash has been 10 for almost 20 years already, and major characters come every season and then disappear never to be seen again. I'd rather have an entirely new thing like Pokemon Origins

The fact that if they choose the anime continuity over the game series one would be headache inducing and further give the image that's all what people care about, forgetting that the latter exists.

I'm not gonna watch a Pokemon sub lol. If there was a theatre release 4kids dub would be unavoidable anyway [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] I stop enjoying the show after gen 2 on rewatch But gen 3 movies are ok I guess [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] I have yet to see anything (besides origins) beat the mewtwo "first Pokemon movie", especially uncut

It doesn't have a lot of the weird localization-isms the English version does, and the story is slightly different. Also 4kids hasn't done anything Pokemon related in about a decade. The Pokemon Company does their own dubs now.

I was giving the first movie praise, I think even the american version is solid. I'm aware of the cut scenes, I think they were even still recorded in english and you can find them [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] One of the glaring issues is outlined by Nostalgia Critic (he hates it because he was one of those contrarians that dislike pokemon) but he bitched about the crying back to life thing being stupid and abrupt, which was explained in one of the darker scenes that got cut

Screw live-action Keep it animated

This can only turn out naturally: Bomb so hard that it sends movie games back 20 more years.

"bomb" no way Be incredibly average/mediocre? Maybe. But there's no way the movie wouldn't make a shitton [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] the whole reason this is being offered is because they put out a phone app with a gps map gimmick and suddenly the company became 7.5 billion dollars more valuable

It ~could~ work and I'm interested enough to see how it'd end up but its not like they could do worse than the official movies.
