Still waiting on Incineroar and Decidueye to make an appearance.
Right at the start there are some pokemon floating in the sky that might be Flabebe, can anyone make out what they are?
Saw the trends list on YouTube, Detective Pikachu has surpassed Toy Story 4 at the number 1 spot currently.This literally erased Toy Story 4 from everyones minds on social media. This is gonna be huge.
I hope to dear lord Lucario wasn't made fugly, if they bothered to include it.
I can juuuuuuuuust imagine how alien-like Mewtwo will look like, and they will SO not forget to include it.
With the two movie announcements and Stan Lee passing, trends were all over the place todaySaw the trends list on YouTube, Detective Pikachu has surpassed Toy Story 4 at the number 1 spot currently.
I actually think (among others) that the Pokemon look more than decent in this trailer.
How much better can you make CG Pokemon look in a live action movie?
Also, while it is just a trailer, Pikachu's characterisation does feel a cliché. I can't quite put my finger on it but the combination of the gritty masculine voice of the Pikachu combined with it's implied "loner" personality and some of the dialogue and slapstick humour (running into Mr. Mime's barrier) feels like its been done before.
I suppose they could have gone the Yokai Watch route and just had 3D models of the anime sprites.
After all Pokémon let's go Pikachu and Eevee are in 3D and that seems to work.
But Let's Go are not live action. You can't just throw regular 3D Pokémon models in a live action world and expect it to look good. You've got to at least put some effort into making the models look like they belong in a real life setting. I think that maybe the designers here went a little overboard on stuff like fur and feathers, but it probably shouldn't be altogether absent either.
That line is clearly just Pikachu's interpretation of Mr. Mime. I am not sure how the trailer makes you think that Pikachu is a loner when he's the one that wants to work with Tim.While its unwise to try an glean any plot points from a trailer, one of Pikachu's lines sticks out - "I push away everyone who tries to get close to me then get angry at them." That implies the films is going to use a "buddy picture" trope as the underlying structure of its plot. You know, protagonists meet, become friends or agree to work together, fall out or break up and then reconcile at the end. Usually against the backdrop of facing some sort of adversary.
