Still not sure why this movie is being made

>>85506542
This must be a prank. This cant be an actual movie. Itss to beautiful to be real.

>>85506552
He got bolted off (he was pretty upset about it).

>>85506760
Good. Would have made the whole movie about Jesse Eisenberg trying on neon tank tops while Pikachu tweeted in the background

>>85506760
Why?

>>85506860
I think they just didnt like his pitch and decided to go with Detective Pickachu instead.

Honestly, considering literally EVERY movie Max has been a part of since Chronicle has been panned by critics I'm surprised this hadn't happened sooner.

>>85506542
I won't be satisfied unless Danny Devito is involved somehow. I'll see it on that excuse alone. SOMEHOW.

Anything but a western team. Are you fucking kidding me, any western person on a Japanese production? It's retarded.

>>85507244
Uh, have you SEEN any of the Pokemon movies? Theyre fucking terrible.

Whatever they do they need to make sure those filthy japs dont touch a frame of it.

>>85506614
Alex Hirsch is actually a pretty good choice. Funny characters, solid mysteries. Id like to see what he did in a Pokemon world.

>>85506542
Thats tough. Pokemon is a strange world and this is a stranger concept. I'd like to say Miller/Lord but I'm not sure even they could make this make sense.

Top kek. It's a literally insane choice. It's the worst possible choice for a Pokemon movie.

Not really. A more traditional Pokémon movie would be pointless and stupid; there's no point in making a live-action movie about cartoon battles, especially when there's more than enough anime movies for it. It would be Dragonball:Evolution all over again.

This however allows tons of leeway and ideas. They can go anywhere with this concept.

I want the creative team behind Luther to simply rewrite a script so it features Detective Pikachu instead, voiced by Idris Elba of course.

Bonus round: The Rock voices a fighting type AND plays its trainer.

Final bonus round: Pokemon becomes /co/ related, and LT. Surge is in it as a background cameo.

Nintendo realized they have become ridiculously stagnant despite always having a new gimmick for every new system.

So they're doing radically new things.
iPhone games, considering working on PC games possibly, adding a female version of Link, havinv even more new types of Pokemon games, a Metroid game with no Samus, and so on.

Some good, some bad. They have so much money to shit that they can eat some losses, so they're testing a lot of different things out right now.

Since the IP they can do the most diverse things with, and have had the most success with for movies, is Pokemon it only makes sense to dip their feet back into live action using it.
They also know people love Pokemon who talk. Meowth is a large part of the reason they kept Team Rocket around in the anime, and Lucario has a fucking massive fanbase. Humanoid Pokemon like Blaziken and Gardevoir, and Pokemon who do human things like Pikachu and Meowth, are also big with fans.

Chris Sanders has always been my obvious pick for a Pokemon film director. No idea if Detective Pikachu would be his jam, though.

I hear David Cage is looking for shit to do

Though David Lynch can work too

Pikachu is voiced by Al Pacino

Max is super fun to listen to in his youtube and twitter, but everytime he pitches something, even though he seems full of ideas, it doesn't sound very good.
I hope his show is good tho

And Dawne Johnson as Pikachu

You know damn well it wouldn't work because Pokémon is inherently cartoonish. Unless they go full on Roger Rabbit it's going to look completely terrible. Again, does no one remember DB: Evolution?

That is literally never going to happen, they're still making consoles. They're making phone games, but those games are nothing more than advertising for the main games.

>adding a female version of Link

That was just for Hyrule Warriors, and even then she's not really Link. There's no female Link for BoTW either.


However, they are planning on making a real life Nintendoland with Universal.

Exactly this.

Nintendo is super safe with their IPs after the Mario movies. The Metroid movie of the mid-00s never got off the ground because Nintendo was rejecting everything.

This is to gauge public interest and to reassure Nintendo (who are actively branching out to other medias following the failure of their home console) that their IPs can work as movies.

I personally have no interest in a Pikachu movie, but if it makes bank and they do a proper Pokemon movie, I would love to see Ocarina of Time down the line.

>>85516228
It has been reported to be Detective Pikachu. Legendary only have the rights to Pikachu, not Pokemon in general (not yet anyway).

>>85518227
He pitched loads and at one point was involved in negotiating for a Netflix series. He got booted when they decided to go with Pikachu.

Yeah, that's the real deal, There was a HUGE bidding war between studies to get the Pokemon Rights and they are not even getting full rights so far, is not only about pokemon, is literally about getting the good faith of nintendo.
