A reminder that 'We Got This Covered' is a highly unreliable site that is capitalising on readers interest in a Pokemon movie, all their "scoops" are not real.
TCPi wouldn't want a movie based off Red/Blue anyway as they know that is just a recipe for a disaster, hence why it's taken them 20+ years to approach a movie studio to adapt Detective Pikachu into a movie, as they never really had any other source material that seemed viable in the past.
Then there's Pokemon Origins. That is a great example of a video game adaptation done right but the thing is not only do more people trust the studios behind Pokemon Origins to make a good product, great video game film adaptations are still a rarity, even moreso in the west.
It does not. Look at the background composition and the way it's shot. It's not a movie screencap
Pokemon Origins done "right"? Imho that miniseries was a boring, disjointed, pointless mess.
I think Red and Blue are a terrible basis for a movie due to how thinly spread and repetitive. You can't make a movie, let alone several, out of some kid challenging the Gym leaders to 8 repetitive battles. I'm pretty sure that's the reason why in the Anime it often seemed like Ash did everything except actually battling the gym leaders to get his badges, you have to do something else entirely with that plot.
It would probably also be difficult to develop the main character, any potential travel companions and a full team of six Pokemon (plus, again those of any travel companions) in a single movie, but even here I'd hope they'd do something more than what Origins did with Red (which was basically nothing)
Maybe if they focused on the team rocket plot...
I see what you meant by the problem with video game adaptions, but I think it might be more than that. Video games like Pokemon might be more difficult than books because you have at the same time too much storyline (or rather the storyline is spread too far) too little storyline (there is very little in Red Blue really) and what you have is too repetitive (difficult to do the standard Hollywood plot formular)
The Lord of the Rings pretty much had similar problems, because it also has a rather unconventional and atypical plot flow (arguably the main plot/plots doesn't really kick off until the last book, with the second book being spent on some sort of weird dress rehearsal for the climax) which is why such an extensive reworking of the whole thingwas necessary for it to become Hollywood movies.
Red/Blue would need possibly even more reworking...and you can't do what they did in Origins in a Western, life-action theatrical release. It would not be popular.
They're not made for the TCG, they're not screencaps, these are movie stills.
I guess it overall depends on the viewer however Red & Blue focusing on a lone traveler has more potential for storytelling than you think
You said Red & Blue would be a terrible basis because it's repetitive and thinly spreaded out and although you explained it to be Gym Leaders, I thought you also meant the classic "traveler" story which also contains such problems, especially the non-fictional kind as Pokemon can actually relate to similar movies due to it's pseudo-realistic setting in the outdoors. As for the repetitive Gym Leader issue, I understand that which is why I think it can be decorated better through a multi-part film series and it can actually work in a single film without flashbacks, just much harder. It's the type of action-scene where it's cut shortly so you can let the audience know it's important, it's been done while staying focus on the plot. It's very common in boxing movies actually where they feature multiple boxing matches but don't actually show the entire match. We've actually seen this before in Pokemon Generations where Green battles the Elite Four and the battles are shorten to their last Pokemon which is good enough for a short. Of course the thing is you can't do this for all the Gym Battles, just some of them otherwise it loses it's importance and focus in a film overtime.I wasn't saying anything for or against a "lone traveler" story. I was talking about Origins being crap because it sticks too close to the games, has a disjointed story were large parts are told in voice over and refuses to do much for Red in characterization and character development. It was pretty much just continuity porn for very comitted fans.
What I meant was that you can't really do a broad audience, Western, cinematic movie that tells the story like Origin does.
The trouble with a lone character in movies is usually that they can't talk to anybody (which is a reason additional characters are sometimes included in adaptions) however in a Pokemon movie you could substitute the starter as a living thing the main character could talk to.
As far as Adventures goes (which I didn't mention at all...), I actually think that they should look at that one to get ideas on what to do with Red and with some other aspects of the story. Though you gotta remember that a manga has more room for extra content than a movie. And that expecting a trilogy of movies to come from Red/Blue is not very realistic.
And well, I stand by saying that you can't really include all the gym battles + elite four in the movie, since it would be super repetitive and eat up too much time. I bet you by the time Red battles Lt. Surge at the latest people would be fed up with it.
??? Screencaps ARE movie stills? What are you talking about?
The lighting and posing is completely different to the way the movie looks. There's no way the movie is going to stop、 change it's style completely for a second、 and continue with its regular editing afterwards. These are made specifically for the cards.
You clearly aren't familiar with movie production and have no idea what "movie stills" are. Movie stills are not screencaps, lol.
Movie stills are captured on set by a separate on-set photographer (that isn't through the official photography cameras for filming) that provides a "still" of the movie/scene.
They just released a still from DP. Example of a still vs. actual movie scene:
I agree with you but at the same time not enough to not pay money to see it.I've played every single Pokemon game since Red & Blue. I would never pay money to see this bizarre bastardization of the franchise. The Pokemon look disturbing. Pikachu should not talk, and if he does talk, having him be a disgruntled middle aged man is a funny gag but turns the entire film into a Pokemon parody, rather than an accurate portrayal of what the Pokemon universe is supposed to be; the universe that Nintendo spent 20 years creating for us. Why choose the first CGI Pokemon film to shatter that universe and instead present us with some twisted version of the Pokemon world that we've never seen before? It is one that I would never have been interested in to begin with.

I will never understand why they chose Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu though... I’d rather they just have the MC be able to understand the pikachu’s pikas completely without us having to hear what it’s saying in English, pretty much like how Ash does in the anime.

I love the passion going into this answer however this is actually a far more smarter and safer move than you think for several reasons. Think of it as a prototype for something bigger.I've played every single Pokemon game since Red & Blue. I would never pay money to see this bizarre bastardization of the franchise.
