Yeah, this is gonna be interesting.

*starts to watch the trailer*

Tera: "This. . . Actually doesn't look that bad. Heck, it might even be good. It looks like they genuinely know how big this franchise is and actually do want to do both it and its most devoted fans justice."

*Pikachu starts talking*

"Buh. . . Fuh. . . Nnnnnngh! THAT VOICE DOES NOT BELONG IN THAT BODY!!!"

I would have been okay with the talking Pikachu -- I really would have. After all, talking Pokemon have existed in the anime since the second episode over twenty years ago.

But. . . WHY?!! Why does he sound EXACTLY like Deadpool?!!

I. . . Ugh. . . You know what the worst part is? That's the only thing I actually see that's definitely wrong with it. This looks like it could have otherwise been good, or at least respectful enough of the source material to be admirable in absence of being good (sort of like the Where The Wild Things Are movie, which few people I know liked but absolutely nobody I know will talk smack about). I do not see, in this, a shameless cash grab. I see something that could have been great if it weren't for just one lazy shitbag -- if it weren't for a casting director thinking "We need an a-lister to do the talk shows!" instead of "We need somebody who sounds at least remotely convincing as a cute fuzzy-faced rodent."

Yeah I have no idea what I just saw either... I was likely so shocked and disturbed at the same time my brain deleted it the second I looked away. What happened for the last 2 minutes? It's a blank.

This is the first Pokémon movie I've been curious about probably since...Giratina's movie.

Probably because this isn't another dime-a-dozen animated made-for-TV Pokémon movie.


And of course it's Ryan Reynolds. :-P

Pokemon I choose you wasn't made for tv

Oh right, forgot about that.

I was thinking of like the annual ones they tended to make, (manaphy, Darkrai, Arceus, etc).

For legendaries, you mean?
They stopped doing that once the gen 7 anime started.

Seen the original game?

Nope, and I never will. Fell out of the Pokemon game world for a while. Was into Pokemon Go for a bit, but that habit died fast.

Eeyah...... no.

And the English trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcf0d5UzYgY

With that voice, I may have been accepting of the movie, but Ryan Reynolds. Sorry, it just doesn't work for me.

Okay.
