Live-Action Pokémon Movie Possibly In The Works

[sdp]

I'll finish off the Detective Pikachu game to compare the stories and then write a review, meanwhile some random thoughts:

Many Pokemon are far too big in this movie, Treecko, Pikachu etc.

I like that Pikachu seems to be mostly based off his "Fat" design of Gen 1, probably too difficult to make Anorexic Pikachu realistic.

Wish they could've thrown more easter eggs when it came to references likes, but I'm sure there's still plenty in a where's waldo situation once the movie is released on video and we can check out the backgrounds but more world building coudl've been done.

Spoiler:

The father being Pikachu was a very interesting twist and it worked, the only bad thing is at the end Pikachu is just another "animal/Pokemon"and everything they went through was not real, I mean it works for the story but at the same time at the expense of the Pikachu

I'd like other spin-off movies, how about one based off Pokemon Colosseum/XD? Or Pokemon Snap? Nothing mainline, but plenty of references to mainline games. I hope the movie does well enough for a sequel but we'll see.

I feel it comes at the cost of character development,

Spoiler:

he solved the mystery, got to enjoy some time with his father and it was time to say good bye by making things "perfect" at the end (does that mean the grandma will be left all alone now? ) I feel it loses the emotional beats it had. Wouldn't the Lion King be w orse if Mufasa had survived somehow and came back at the end?
