trainers rise up
Is that really true?
No. It's based on the Detective Pikachu series, which takes place in a city that doesn't really care about Pokemon battles and focuses more on cooperation between Pokemon and humans. The rest of the world still does regular Pokemon battles.
$$$$
Why was this guy's Charizard so fucking ruthless, in that case? It was gonna eat a live pokemon right before everyone's eyes. Does the trainer hit it with a belt?
formerly there were pokemon battles
charizards are high T pokemons. low skill beta trainers with no badges cant handle them
There are some shots in the trailer that suggest that it and other pokemon are under some type of mind control
Because it's a big dragon dumbass.
>ywn be bros with Charizard
Pokemon is all about animal abuse. You gotta repackage that somehow for the West.
what if that charizard just started sucking on his trainer's nipples?
...because the concept wouldn't fly?
pretty sure it would.
So how do you "catch" pokemon in this world?
The special effects look like they were made by a
very special boy
wtf are you talking about? Everyone knows that’s whats been all about for the last 23 years and everyone loves it
Thats absurd. What kind of high power pokemon would even possess the kind of Psychic ability to do this? And who could it be that would even have the name power to play the main villain role of the film? What a ridiculous idea you moron
4u
If I was in a higher up position it would certainly concern me to greenlight the next big Hollywood blockbuster centered around animal abuse. And yes, I mean loud minorities and trolls on the internet.
It's just asking for trouble if you don't make some sort of statement in the movie that violence against animals is not okay.
I'm not a gay faggot but this is the world we live in today.
>Charizard's arm around his shoulder
>literally has a tattoo of Charizard on his chest
It's pretty obvious their relationship goes beyond Pokemon and trainer, if you catch my drift.
Mewtwo perhaps
Togepi, obviously.
Fucking genius post right here, brilliant insight user
you cheeky slag
It's obviously psyduck you utter retard.
What a degenerate.
t. butthurt venusaur
the concept has been sold continuously for 25 years and its never really been criticized before.
Surely all told that license is worth around a billion dollars.
im not saying your wrong, shit has gone crazy these last few years, I just can't fathom that.
it's being affected by a drug (which is represented by its purple eyes)
the drug is made with Mewtwo's DNA, but since Mewtwo's got the berskerk gene, any pokémon affected by that drug will go berserk
Remember that they turned the white human main character of the video game into the most hideous mutt actor aviable.
It's such a shame they changed such an iconic and memorable Pokemon character as Tim
A real fan favorite he was.
>low skill beta trainers with no badges cant handle them
haha yeah
People like you are the reason we never got a raditz movie.
>I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
This is gonna be a stealth gay Pikachu Tim movie, and the greatest gay bromance in movie history, its' gonna be the biggest twist of the generation, the first onscreen Pokemon x Human relationship, the furry watershed. Thjis is why they cast Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu, because even straight guys can picture thmeselves being gay for him
This but ironically
This also ironically
>charizard
>big dragon
charmander line is fucking manlet lizards, user, not dragons
What's the point of doing another "young kid wants to become a Pokemon master" story that's played out and been done to death for fucking decades now? The whole thing is nonsensical anyways. Why would little ten year olds abandon school to go out into forests and mountains to catch animals? How are they supposed to make a living off that, what kind of adults are they supposed to come? Hell, how is a little fucking ten year old supposed to survive in a forest full of fucking monsters that can shoot lightning and breath fire? It's fucking been done and it's fucking been dumb. Good on them for taking a fucking risk and doing a story that, while not entirely new, isn't the same old shit.
DUDE WHAT WAS THE POKEMON TAX PLAN MAN!!!!!!
Fuck off retard
In the new trailer when Mewtwo comes out, Pikachu says “oh that’s a twist.”
So is this supposed to subvert the audience into thinking the twist is Mewtwo, when in reality the real twist is pikachu being the kids dad after he got turned into pikachu by Mew
what a fucking gay city
is it san francisco
Also it looks like the dad is white, the hands of the guy in the car accident are white.
Anime clearly shows Chadizards are at least 7' tall, usually taller. One Pokedex entry doesn't override that.
It's not a nitpick when you're talking about the main character and his goals making no sense. It makes no sense to send kids off into a wilderness full of monsters so they can "become a Pokemon master" at the cost of their education and future. It's fine for a video game to be nonsensical garbage, especially the early video games that only had a token amount of story to them anyways, but when you're talking about a movie, you kind of want it to make sense, especially a live action movie where audiences are less likely to shrug it off than a cartoon.
Why would they make another Pokemon trainer movie? Yes, I said "another Pokemon trainer movie" because there's already 21 Pokemon movies about Ash being a little Pokemon faggot.
Daily reminder they cast a mutt because nobody wants to see an Asian male lead.
wtf
AYOOOOO DOG HELP A NIGGA OUT MY BROTHA
DEZ MOFO WHITE CRACKAS ABOUTA BOOST SUM POKEMONS THAT AINT NO DAMN LEGIT BUSINESS B
WE GOTTA UUHHHH PULL UP DEZ ROCKET FOOLS THINK THEY OG NEVER HEARD OF THEM
FUCK THEM NIGGA
THAT PIKACHU NIGGA A REAL G YO
Not an argument
Or because he was the best actor who tried out for the part.
Daily reminder that Pokemon isnt set in Asia so thats an irrelevant point to make
>Or because he was the best actor who tried out for the part.
I don't even have to be racist to say that he fucking sucks at acting
>That disgusting fucking nigger
>Best actor
He could by fucking TIm Curry, he is absolutely vile to look at, I hate you Americans for putting these things on the big screen. Movies used to be interesting and beautiful to look at, why did you have to ruin it with niggers?
The Charizard trainer is a manlet too.
Heck his lastname even means Shorty
>I don't even have to be racist to say that he fucking sucks at acting
Based on his race, so yes, you actually do need to be racist to say that. makes that abundantly clear as well.
How short is that in a real measurement?
i'm sure there are at least 3 doujins where that happens
6 feet is like 180cm. 169cm is like 5'5".
180 is 5'11
Slowbro you devious motherfucker, you’ve doomed us all!
Malamar
Hollywood loves casting manlets. Probably a power play thing, big shots like Weinstein can tower over them.
Yeah, you're right. 6 feet is over 180cm. I just rounded it down because it's kind of weird saying "I'm 181.289475 cm" or whatever it'd be.
Short men are cast because their height matches their female costars, which is good for shots where you want both actors to be in frame.
Literally /ourkot/
Makes me laugh every time
but arent women very tall these days too? like 180++
The whole point of this movie is the execs at Warner need more shekels. Can you blame them after the shitheaps that were 'Batman v Superman', 'Suicide Squad' and 'Justice League'? Fuckers have gotta get some cash back and making movies based on a fucking terrible video game series (don't you neckbearded losers start, the games are shit) that's made over £68 billion is a sure-fire hit.
>why would kids want badass (and sometimes fuckable) monsters that can fly, release rays of death and so on?
Also, play the games, holy shit. Trainers fucking hand you money when you beat them, and getting badges basically turns you into a minor celebrity.
On average, a woman is shorter than a man.
>little kid goes to catch monster with death ray
>dies because death ray monster kills kid with death ray
A little kid would be scared to shit. Their first thought would be "run" and not "let me put this nightmare creature in a little ball and battle it with my friends in a game of extended rock-paper-scissors." Also, the only one who becomes a celebrity is the one or two kids that become a Pokemon master. Meanwhile, every other kid is just that fucking bug trainer who grows up to have no marketable skill in the workplace. I suppose that explains why there's so much organized crime. Of course, moot point since none of those kids are surviving. They're all getting murdered and eaten by Pokemon.
God you're a nigger and dumb.
Either that dude is short, or this guy's got a particularly tall Charizard.
>5' 7"
Ash would have died before his "adventure" even began.
The Charizard is hunched over.
Easy shekels.
What happens if someone in Rhyme city has a Wailord?

I thought it looked like an underground fighting ring of sorts. Similar to how we have hen/dog fights

Why would I ever need a job?
>Did your husband give you that charizard?!
>My husband IS that Charizard. You're on the wrong side of history, Ketchum.
It was a trans3xual psyduck all along.
Niggers are bad actors, tranny.
>be a pokemon master
See >the only one who becomes a celebrity is the one or two kids that become a Pokemon master
Most kids don't become Pokemon masters. They just catch a Pidgey and never level it up or evolve it because they're garbage. They grow up and their Pidgey is dead and they have zero skills in the market. I guess that's why there's so much organized crime in the Pokemon world, because they have no way to make a living and thus must turn to joining Team Rocket (whose whole criminal scheme also makes zero sense), but why would you send your kid off and doom them to such a tragic fate (and that's assuming they survive on their own in forests filled with monsters that can easily murder them in the blink of an eye) when you could send your kid to school, have them get an education, and let them become a real person with a real fucking job?
I mean, this is like if I wrote a setting where everything in the world revolved around movies, and when a kid hit the age of 10, the parents send them off to Hollywood on their own to become an actor (and get molested by Pedowood). Yeah, there's some crazy ass desperate parents out there who do that with zero care about their kid (except even they're not insane enough to send their kids out alone, and laws exist where a parent has to be on set), but most people have their kids go to schools so they can get a good, steady, real job. Good on Detective Pikachu for creating a more believable world where not everything revolves around cockfighting.
Very lost opportunity for profit. Do you know how much money kids make just by battling random people on the road?
>trailers show posters for battles
>first movie poster has designated battle area signs
>multiple scenes involving an actual battle arena
Very little because they lose half their money when they lose, yet you only get a small amount of money when you win. If you're an average trainer running around with just a Pidgey and some other shitty Pokemon, you're going to wind up in the hole pretty quickly.
How would this even work? Not only is it massive, but unless you are fighting in the ocean it can't do anything.
It can summon water or even just use surf to devastate everything
Yep. If you win a battle, you'll get like a hundred Pokemon dollars. "Wow, a hundred Pokemon dollars!" you might be saying, but a can of cola from a vending machine costs 300 Pokemon dollars. In the real world, that costs a dollar. That means you make about 33 cents a fight. Pretty pathetic, especially when you add in the fact that, if you lose, you lose half of all your money. Unless you're a godly Pokemon trainer, you're not making any money at all, and even if you are, you're still not making that much money.
well
where does all that money goes then
dumbass. pokemon dollars are yen, not dollars, one pokedollar is roughlly worth one cent. then the prices make sense.
the protagonist (not you)
I fucking hate pokemon, but this looks fun. It's made for the general public not poke-nerds, duh. If it's really successful they'll be more likely to make movies for the nerds.
>...What is the point of this movie?
To sell merch, keep promoting goy!
A vending machine cola in Japan costs 120 yen. 120 yen is 1 USD (1.08 right now). Therefore, I was right, 100 Pokemon Dollars is worth 33 cents USD.
When you lose a battle, you black out, and wake up in the nearest Pokemon Center (because real hospitals don't really exist in the Pokemon world). Pretty safe to say whoever takes you to the Pokemon Center also takes half your money as payment.
Fucking white women
Choose one making you better feeling
I believe Omar chaparro is like 1.70m and mexican so yes, manlet status
You aim your pokeball half a meter above the rival pokemon's head and wait for gravity to do the job for you, then retreat it back into the pokeball.
Rinse and repeat.
So, it is implicitly understood that every horny teenager would be out boning Gardevoir and Lopunny every chance they get?
The SUBVERTED part is going to be that those battles are underground like dogfighting, just you wait.
The size will vary, the official sizes will be the MIN size pokemon will have, the game sizes were dumb, the anime were a little better and way more flexible. There's no need to sperg about the size.
Now that I think about it, it would've been better if they did a post apocalyptic pokemon movie imo.
169 cm
I just made an observation is all :/
I said a real measurement you fucking disgusting filthy YUROFAG
>What is the point of this movie?
To make easy money.
Fuck off, Batman Vs Superman was the greatest cinema experience of the entire decade
This is why you're not a screenwriter. It's fucking Pokemon, people want a comfy movie in the spirit of the games, not some tryhard post-apocalytic BS.
if fire breathing psychic monsters were around every corner in real life i think there would be a pretty big focus on learning to deal with them
hey, actual faggot here, this guy is really fucking ugly damn
This will become a Cinematic Universe, and they'll milk it til death, right?
>neo noir Detective Pikachu sequels
>horror movie with ghost types
>space movie with ultra beasts and psychics
>league movie that adapts one of the games
>Team Rocket gangster movie
>slow worldbuilding movie contemplating Pokemon rights and shit
>kaiju movie
>crossover movie where the bad guy uses one of those superpowerful legendaries
>Ash, Brock and Misty cameos
There will be now. Thanks for giving them the ideas!
They already said it will be a cinematic universe and already revealed their next 2 movies.
They said after the Detective Pikachu movie they intend to make a movie about Mewtwo and then a movie about Red and Blue
>a movie about Mewtwo
WHY! WHY! WWWWHHHHYYYYY!
if they werent testing the waters for that i think they would have gone with a main series movie already instead of some spinoff game
Because Japan.
He cool.
But they really need to fix the color palette.
Pokemon Tax Policy
did a 5 year old do his tatto
Does Pikachu proven Darwin wrong; and that evolution, in fact, does not exist?
The mewtwo centered movie is the red/blue movie, the other movie on the works is the detective pikachu sequel.
The mewtwo movie makes sense, especially since apparently gamefreaks and nintendo are trying to mix Green with Amber. Video EXTREMELY related
youtu.be
I believe that when they say "red/blue" it doesnt really means it's about adapting the game, but just about kanto, team rocket, mewtwo and with the human protagonists being red and blue
There's an orange explosion below him, we don't know his "real" colors yet
Attacking that Dark-type Pokemon with Bullet Punch while they were running away. What the HELL were you thinking, Detective Pikachu?
>fire breathing psychic monsters
Easy. Ban high capacity fire breathing psychic assault monsters :^)
They'd probably unironically ban TM Hyper Beam. And that's a good thing.
Yeah, kind of like how every kid in America is given a gun at age 10 and then sent out into the wild west to do gunfights and collect more guns.
Heh.
Reminder that only non-whites make animals fight for their amusement.
Why would that be a bad thing? I'd love a Dr Strange or Infinity War style Pokemon movie.
>Ash, Brock and Misty cameos
This is the only shit idea. The rest would be fucking great.
You're off the case. Hand over your badge and your choice band.
>Ash
Ash fucking sucks
pokemon is fucked up. forcing these animals to fight... these little niggas have their own languages and are basically smarter than dogs sometimes. shit. and now people eating them is canon? nah man
how the hell do charizard survive in the wild? do they just eat nuts and berries?
Jesus, whites are cucked in the Pokeverse too?
I think it was a robot chicken skit but I like the idea of their pokeball just being a sweet mansion and there's drugs and alcohol and pokemon bitches
>prrrrii prrrrii
Some of them are described in the Pokedex as literal geniuses, way above humans. But they still spend their lives hiding in tall grass and obey a fucking twelve-year-old because he threw a ball at them, so the little shits deserve what they get.
>God dammit detective Pikachu, do you know how much your little stunt at the Pokemon center cost our department? 3 wrecked bikes, thousands of dollars worth of property damage and you injured the major's wife.
>Pika Pika
>I won't hear another word of it. Thinking Mendoza is somehow involved in the illegal TM smuggling and the death of your partner is preposterous. I don't want you to even think to ever get near that man again and if you do you'll be in traffic duty for the rest of your miserable career. Dismissed. Your father would be ashamed of you
life like VR pokemon mmo when?
Hi Maldu
I don't know about you, but I'm having as many children as I can and sending them into the forest on the hopes that at least one of them becomes a pokemon master
>Charizard is not a dragon
>Make it weak against electric in addition to water types
Shit Pokemon.
This shit is so gay
Best selling media franchise ever. It's apparent simplicity and fun, cool animals makes kids want it and it's actual depth in PvP battling makes autists and weebs spunk themselves
Why the hell would you NOT want to be a Gengar? Basically immortal supernatural entity with magic powers, sign me the fuck up.
They're an apex predator and there are probably no more than a few hundred wild ones worldwide. Going by other pokedex entries, some pokemon like Aggron can claim an entire mountain as their territory. You can image Charizard being similar and claiming thousands of square miles. With an area that size they could easily find other Pokemon to eat.
I wonder how the PCU will handle this
>get caught in a pokeball
>trainer takes you on a journey
>they die to exposure lost in the wilderness
>you are trapped in the ball forever until the sun goes supernova in a billion years
>if Earth is expelled from the solar system instead of destroyed, you may end up trapped in your literal hell for trillions of years until proton decay causes the pokeball containing you to break
>now you're trapped floating in space for all eternity
Yeah, sign me up.
Pokemon can break out of pokeballs from their own free will.
Okay, so skip to that end part where you're trapped floating in space for all eternity.
>get caught in a pokeball
Easy. Don't get caught. Should be easy enough when you're an immaterial being with soul powers and the ability to phase into shadows or the floor. Also, the afterlife canonically exists in Pokemon (see Marowak in Lavender Town in Gen 1) and Ghost types can travel to it in the anime and spin-offs.
>pokeballs are indestructable and never get damaged or worn
Are you retarded?
But I'm Gengar, I can fly around and do whatever.
Based gengar
'trows masterball at you"
You are mine Genger, i will rename you "faggot"
The Pokemon world has real non sentient animals, this is probably seen as more ethical to eat than intelligent aliens.
*dodges master ball because I'm not a tard*
Now lets see how well you stand up to a magical curse that will make your dick shrivel up and fall off.
Why is this comic so disturbing?
Faggot, shut up, you are mine now.
Put a curse on OP
>Why was this guy's Charizard so fucking ruthless,
Do you ask why lions, wolves, and crocodiles are so ruthless?
Please stop. I have already demonstrated in detail that being a Gengar has literally no downsides.
that would be a twist. very twisty.
I have heard tale of a Mew. But those are legends and fantasies. What even is this second Mew you speak of?
Tim has two white dads? How does that work?
Do you think i'm attractive user?
Charizards are pretty chill.
is that not how it works?
>What is the point of this movie
Push niggers on asians
That's going to end well, not.
have you ever watched a nature documentary?
Liar, you have the NBA anf NFL
If they would have casted a euroasia as lead it would make billions
>He doesn't know the Truth of what happened to Cinnibar Island
CONNECT THE DOTS MAN
BLAINE WAS BEHIND IT ALL
The supreme psychic entity in the universe. They say it's strongest Pokemon of them all!
Blaine?
>horror movie with ghost types
Image related
Fuck off, everyone knows Cinnibar went down because the Volcano erupted. All that shit about some "lost" Pokemon Lab that owned a Mew is all just conspiracy.
Reminds me of that one episode in the first season where Ash dies from having a chandelier fall on him and ends up doing spooky shenanigans to Misty with a Haunter and Gengar for laughs before being brought back
This.
It's physically impossible for there to be a stronger Psychic type than Alakazam. Scientists proved that way back in the 80s.
Hyper Beam is such a shitty as fucking move god damn
Not in-universe. It's the Pokemon world counterpart to nukes. See all the Pokedex entries with Gyarados or pic related. It was hella strong in Gen 1 too.
I really like that the people involved in the movie is taking things from all the media. It will trigger some autists, but it will be better on the long run.
I wonder what wild Mr. Mimes do to survive
Something, something billions of dollars something, something
You'd have to be a literal retard to die of the elements when you have a team full of pokemon who can summon water, fire, electricity, etc at will.
you'd be chilling with arceus so just join him in the next universe or some shit. god is canon in pokemon same thing with wishes and ghosts and other demi gods
a lot of them probably get by busking
sleep with your mom for cash
Entertaining other pokemon in exchange for food.
No. The girl in the trailer is a Pokemon trainer
>people still believe and worship Arceus
lmao, next you are gonna tell me that Spear Pillar was real too right
what was it
But that's a real measurement, not feet and stones and pounds hahaha
>and they'll milk it til death, right?
If they make even a few good movies out of it who even cares? Oh no we must protect the sanctity of the multi media Pokemon franchise!
A short video of a cat biting off a woman's labia minora.
Dude is short and the charizard too
pussy vs. pussy, noice
the pokeball makes them obedient
The strongest pokemon is clearly mega fug.
Besides a couple godlike legendaries that's literally only alakazam and those are never found in the wild, they need to be traded between trainers. Kadabras are probably too limited by their emotional ties to their trainer to ever swallow the redpill and go full time wizard, ie becoming alakazam.
Slowkings are pretty smart too, but again they need to be traded with a special rock, so they're never in the wild either.
Uxie are hyperintelligent but they basically never inhabit their own bodies and exist on a different plane so the whole hiding in grass thing doesn't come close to applying.
You could argue releasing an alakazam sends one into the wild but it probably spends all its time transcending time and space now that it doesnt have to keep spamming psyshock and shadowball for some 12 year old
Mewtwo is an edge lord that sits in a cave brooding over the complexities of human-pokemon relations and shows up every 3 or 4 movies to remain relevant, not exactly sitting in tall grass sleeping in its own feces
They made size variance canon in Let's Go Pikachu. Charizard is up to nearly 8 feet tall now.
Slaking + Choice Band + Hyper Beam = gg no re Battle Tower
magmar had a tummy ache and exploded.
That's cheating
On the other hand, minimum size Charizard is only three feet tall, lmao.
Battle Tower jews you with the Quick Claw/Horn Drill combo whenever your streak gets too high, they fucking deserve it.
ash is a chink
I can't decide if I want to watch this or not
It has purple eyes just like the Aipom that attacks them.
>ay yo man what kinda tattoo you want
>just take this doodle of a charizard some kid did on his desk and put it all over my chest
because a movie focusing on pokemon battling would fucking suck shit. every other peice of pokemon media has focused on it. theres already been several movies and god knows how many fucking episodes of that show.
a movie about it would just be generic kid trying to be the very best, etc etc. its boring shit everyones seen before and they dont want to make something seen as a kids movie since pokemon go made people over 18 that arent unfuckable actually care about pokemon
remember to not vaccinate your kids send post
It’s either this or Sonic The Alien Claiming To Be A Hedgehog That Needs To Rely On Steve From Disturbing Behavior.
Or Angry Birds 2, at least that has the creator of Flapjack going for it.
dogfighting is legal in russia
>OMG They showed Mewtwo who is obviously the bad guy why did the spoil the culprit and the whole story!???
We already knew that from the first trailer. They straight up show a picture frame in his room with his dad and mom on it.
Man, imagine evolving your Charmeleon and he's that small.
>don't start shit
>also fuck Pokemon
Retard.
It would be cute! But not as cute as a 2'9" Nidoking. Fuck kaijus. Their stats are the same anyways. Who doesn't want to wreck their opponents with tinymons?
