I am by no means optimistic about this, & I have a LOZ tattoo & everything.

According to Bulbapedia, he did. He was offered to become a Frontier Brain, but declined.

I was feeling "Whoah.." when I saw the trailer, then got p***ed off when I found out that trailer was a fake. All that effort that they put into making that trailer happen...
If this movie comes to be, I really hope it'll be made well.

If that doesn't scream "bad trainer", I don't know what does. Cause at this point Pikachu should be as strong as a Legendary Pokémon and Ash should have a ton of experience on how to win battles.

The reason Ash is still here all this time is only because Pikachu is the mascot of the franchise. Otherwise I'm sure Ash would have been gone by the end of Johto at the latest.

Also given the Pokemon anime has been running 17 years, entire new generations of kids come into the show every year having never seen the older seasons, so the series resets itself for new younger kids. Ash's female companions usually go through the most development each saga, Ash goes through a little and his Pokemon team develops, and the rivals are concluded...but then it restarts in the next gen.

Might be good. Probably not.

If that really is the case, then that's a pretty excuse for him not winning at least ONE league tournament after all these years.

They made, like, three Mario cartoons. I never saw any of them but I bet they stank.

Video game -> film almost never works.

This is the worst kind of logic.

J/K. Mostly.

Eh I just like razzing Cubed and that was an easy cheapshot. I care neither way about Pokemon.

And brother, you'd be surprised.

Skanks flock to guys in tights for some reason. I honestly couldn't tell you why and I'd never partake, but that's how it goes. Damnedest thing.

*CyberCubed* · 02-06-2015, 09:22 PM

You guys do realize a large chunk of the Pokemon fandom is female, right? Pokemon probably has the largest amount of female players than any other game franchise, except maybe Final Fantasy.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-06-2015, 09:26 PM

I guess I do now!

~~Leonardo322~~ · 02-06-2015, 09:50 PM

Legend of Zelda the series. This is a total surprise. I hope it is good.

Totally down for a new LOZ tv series but I wish it was animated instead. Creating the races and monsters to make this show actually look like LOZ and not Game of Thrones for kids is going to be a massive undertaking. I doubt they have the budget for what they really need to do. Now animated using maybe the studio that animated Legend of Korra or whoever did that Smash Bros Palutena reveal trailer. That would be something to be excited about.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 02-07-2015, 06:33 AM

If this ends up happening, then I'm gonna be so excited!

Please Nintendo! Make it happen!

*NinjaPug* · 02-02-2021, 05:47 PM

So this ended up not happening because Nintendo didn't like that the news leaked

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 02-02-2021, 07:01 PM

*sigh* of course nintendo,don't even see what kind of product they might produce, just pull the plug because of your paranoia about Hollywood due to a mishandled movie disaster that came out around thirty years ago.

*sigh*

*CyberCubed* · 02-02-2021, 07:06 PM

Good. A live action Zelda would be like some terrible low budget LOTR knock off anyway.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-02-2021, 08:16 PM

Yeah. It's unlikely that the "video game adaptation curse" would suddenly not apply to a Zelda thing.

*TigerClaw* · 02-02-2021, 08:38 PM

That claymation StarFox is a bad idea. I would have prefer that be a CGI animated movie.

*Powder* · 02-02-2021, 08:52 PM

Thank God. Keep these sick weirdos away from my baby.

*sdp* · 02-02-2021, 09:06 PM

I'm so sad at the loss of the star fox shoe, it was supposed to be like that fantastic mr fox movie, not claymation but stop motion and the original star fox game had those puppets. I did love that star fox animated short which was fun, I'd love any Star Fox show.

I amsk doubt a good live action Zelda show could be made but I'd give it a chance if it were made. I think a lot of the future of Nintendo properties on media depend on the success and reception of the new Mario movie
