I'm sure some of you have already seen this, but for the benefit of those that didnt, check out the fan-trailer that ought to be a genuine film

I thought the trailer was rather genious. However, Im not sure I like how Giovani is done. Yes he's a bit of an evil genious but he's not THAT ruthless. And Jesse and James using guns?! Also, where was Meowth?! The CGI could use a bit of work but other then that I would have totally watched a live action Pokemon film.

Meowth can be seen in the scene Jessie and James are using their machine guns, granted the scene only lasts two seconds, but it's there

HAHAHAHAHAHA, that was hilarious!

"Serious" pokemon is a disaster and should never be done.

The franchise has always been light-hearted purposely. Any live-action movie that would ever be made should not be like that.

Makes me wonder if kids of today even know who Misty is anymore, given what a minor and short-lived character in the series she was. This movie would obviously be aimed at older fans from 1998.

I liked it. It's a decent concept.

You know its a parody, right? It's making fun of a recent "trailer" that came out.

I wouldnt say she was "minor" given she was in the series for five years during what is arguably considered the series "golden age" and she was heavily promoted in the U.S (via the Pokemon music album and live show) as Ash's love interest, you'd also be right in that this trailer parodies the "glory days" of the initial Kanto region storylines when there were only 151

The Johto saga of the show (not the games), was never considered the golden age. The G/S games were very popular, the Johto arc of the anime was despised because of all the filler episodes, Ash leaving Charizard, etc.

If we're talking about Kanto, I agree. I don't know any Pokemon fan out there who considers that tedious Johto saga as part of Pokemon's, "golden age."

In fact, the Johto arc is when most people originally stopped watching the series. Most people never made it through that entire Johto arc when it was airing for the first time.

Yeah, I didnt mean the Johto era was part of the "golden age", just acknowledging how many seasons Misty was in that justifies her longevity in fan's minds, plus she made several guest apperances afterwards

Yep. Saw this a few days ago. Despite my love for Pokemon, this scares me.

Hahahaha, this was hilarious. Looks like Ash is growing a beard.

Its about time if you ask me.

*Redeemer* · 11-06-2010, 09:22 PM

I think it is actaully a good concept. I dont think it should be that dark though. I mean that is animal abuse on screen. I would maybe make it a little darker than the first movie

deadpoolRKO · 01-18-2011, 07:32 AM

When will it stop ash? ... When I catch them all. lmao
