Legendary Entertainment has won a bid to create the first official live action Pokémon film.
Legendary will be partnering with The Pokémon Company to create a live action film based on “Great Detective Pikachu,” a game which came out in Japan in early February, but has not seen a release elsewhere.
Between this news and the overwhelming success of Pokèmon GO, Pokèmon seems to be experiencing a mainstream resurgence that rivals its popularity during the 90s.
Few details are known about the film so far, other than Universal Pictures will be handling the film’s distribution outside of Japan. This coincides with Nintendo’s partnership with Universal to create Nintendo themed attractions in Universal parks (although the Pokémon Company is its own autonomous company.)
We can only hope that Legendary and The Pokémon Company make the right choice and cast Danny DeVito as the voice of Pikachu for English audiences.
keep it
Boring, Corocoro is roughly three weeks away
The sooner we chip away the last of the summer months the sooner we get to Sun and Moon
Nothing about this sounds like a good idea
Well this live action move is not out yet, just like Paper Mario: Color Splash, and Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Let’s give all of these projects a chance! They might turn out great! <3
(May or may not be sarcastic.)
Yeah……good luck with that, we will pounce on these wounded games and criticize them limb from limb like cynical dingos
I hope you’re being sarcastic about Sticker Star HD.
They are all shit just accept that.

Let me just be brutally honest
This actually wasn’t a total travesty
Paper Mario was always good with very tantalizing areas that just ooze personality (and not for nothing I’m a sucker for Haunted Mansion levels) but still lost points for the uninspiring combat system
I am willing to see how this turn out but I am not 100% sold yet
It’s a little too much like sticker star for me using cards and no partners to help you.
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
I know I know
But I love Paper Mario too much to completely hate it
And to be fair, there’s nothing wrong with watching the game
I want to battle someone ’cause I have the worst luck with Free Battle matches
Singles – friggin’ Mega Mewtwo Y, shiny event Raikou, and shiny event Yveltal
Rotation – All underlevelled. I had to forfeit, it wasn’t fair.
Just went through a decent Rotation Battle with someone’s Mega Charizard Y, Swampert, Luxray, and Leafeon.
The competitive scene is just appalling these days
I have ditched playing ORAS I’m playing Diamond has to be the best game!
So I finally got an Iphone, and got Pokemon Go…
Except there’s nothing around me. No Pokestop or anything, so I can’t advance past that point.
Rip me
Do you drive? My wife and I drag our friends into the neighboring cities because we barely have anything here. I have to literally be on the freeway to catch something or on our main street lol
I can drive. Tonight I’ll probably go to the nearest Pokestop I can find just to continue with the setup process [I have to go out anyways]. My hope is that there will be some pokemon around me though! I really don’t want to have to drive everywhere.
College is coming soon though, so there should be stuff there! 🙂
College is a great place to be. I am at a college campus right now and there are ~40 Pokestops and 7 gyms in the vicinity. A metro is also nearby so it easy to commute to other places and add a bit variety to the dex.
Yeah, college will have a sufficient amount. My wife’s college has 7 pokestops and 2 gyms
There’s not Pokestop near me as well, I have to drive to the nearest one.
But I don’t mind, me and my bff go out together to hit them, and we just walk around our neighborhood and catch mons
I have nothing near me as well. The most I play is when I actually have to go somewhere.
I haven’t specifically set out of my house just for he sake of catching Pokemon yet though.
So here’s a hyper analysis of new Pokemon and their potential evos:
Bounsweet is the simplest of them all: it resembles cottonee and cherubi (as many have said) so a single evolution seems likely.
Comfey: shares similarities with flabebe and klefki, and has a little more uniqueness in design (pointing to no evos) like klefki. Game freak isn’t going to create a key ring and lei Pokemon just to evolve them into something else. Theyre too special and focused. This is similar to spiritomb in a sense.
Mudsdale: could have a prevo like rapidash but could also be a standalone like bouffalant. Both are completely possible though I’m leaning more towards a prevo.
Bewear: definite prevo or nothing. No chance of an evolution given its size and focused concept.
Mimikkyu: way too gimmicky to evolve. It’s like smeargle, castform, etc. it’s ability is too special and the whole concept is extremely focused.
Pokemon like rockruff, a puppy, have potential up the wazoo to evolve into a bigger dog. Since a Pokemon staying in its “baby” form in that universe would be odd unless that was the gimmick itself. These Pokemon introduced on the 19th are very special and none seem like babies besides bounsweet.
Nobody asked for this, and it’s long, but I like sharing my thoughts. Let me know what you think!
What about Wimpod? Also I really want Mimikyu to evolve but deep down I feel that you are probably right. 🙁
Alright well my feelings on Wimpod are three stages each getting more confident and the last stage’s ability will be reckless, symbolizing the sheer confidence.
I completely agree with you! I can’t believe I forgot him!
I can definitely agree with you on most except Mimikyu. My gut feeling is telling me that it evolves.
Of course, if it doesn’t, it’s not too big of a deal, but I just have a really big feeling that it will evolve, so I can’t ignore it.
Oh yay! At least someone is holding out hope! Either way, I absolutely love the thing, so I’ll get it either way. These Alola Pokemon to me are hit or miss. I dislike many of them, but in a huge fan of a select few.
No worries, hope is still here :3
And yeah, I might do the same, it’ll be the exception since I only use Pokemon that evolve on my teams, but Mimikyu is worth it <3
And I'm actually the opposite xD I like many of them but don't care for a select few, like Bruxish and Bewear. (but they'll most likely grow on me and there are aspects of them I can respect even if the design is meh)
For whatever angelic forces possessed me to do this I had an idea for Comfey’s Evolution
Puahana
Fairy/Grass
I see a petite female humanoid creature with the same light green and orange coloration similar to Comfey’s body, around the waist would be a wisp like grass skirt of leaves with a belt of flowers
Long arms and hung around its wrist would be a cordial ring of flowers which it can swing freely, it has large turquoise eyes with orange irises and two long puffy pigtails each bound by a flower ring
each morning Puahana collect flowers for their rings, the more flowers bound to them increase their energy, in battle they vigorously spin and twirl to overwhelm opponents
Before the sun sets they scatter seeds to replace the flowers they used
Actually I REALLY like the sound of that. 😀
I would like to introduce you all to my other google account Meet Diglett bros. I’ll be on and off both but I won’t go after y’all in talks with both.
Hello Peps this is me in another account Hi!
I might use him to have random talks when no one else is around so join that I will argue opinions he’s like an alter ego
Oh I guess that answers that. XD
Hey. 🙂 Just out of curiosity why are you using a different account? Nothing against it, but I’m just wondering why.
Mostly because my The last Kurusu was made on my school account that closed but is usable so I made this for a account I can also play with
Oh that makes a lot of sense.
I adore diglets, i would pick you up and hug you, but i dunno if that’s possible…
Oh right new hand drawn image wait its still in production
I don’t follow what you mean, but i am an artist myself, maybe we could collab~
Oh I was drawing it. It’s 90% done
Awesome, let me see when you finish, deer~
Diglett bros ehh

This has been bugging me for awhile, but can you guys reconsider the types of ads you show here? I have an adblocker and it is picking up to 1000 + ads every page, and some are still showing more… imagine that for the person without ad blockers… it’s discourteous to people who refuse ads and people who just wanna browse blocker free… It is still slowing my stuff down each time i use the page. If you want ads, i understand they bring in revenue, but the VR ones are invasive, thank you for listening~
I actually don’t mind ads, as long as they don’t interfere with my browsing experience.
I have add blocker enabled at all times, because most internet web pages are unusable without it.
Exactly, but when you are showing thousands of ads being blocked on one page, that’s too many… no site on earth needs over 1K ads per page.
I see tons about Melissa McCarthy. XD
Me too lol!
Gilmore Girls!
I know I mean do we care that much about her not being on that show find a different add!
I don’t have an adblocker and I haven’t seen a single one, odd
I actually don’t see that much ads here, especially compared to dA where they are everywhere.
But that’s just my experience 🙂
Yeah, I’ve been getting up to the thousands with my adblocker too, and this site is always very slow for me. I’d love a smoother browsing experience here.
LOL Must just be on your computer then, because my grandpas computer definitely dose NOT have an add blocker on it, and I’m on this websight right now on his computer, and absolutely NOTHING is popping up. 🙂
It’s done here it is it’s a Soft sand desert and they are hanging out
It’s hard to see, maybe you should present the actual picture?
This is it I mostly draw things but don’t know how to do much else
I changed it back it’s better like this
It reads one on right says This soft sand is so soft
The one on the left Perfect for us being Half underground!
Anybody around?
I am 🙂
Did they change disqus?
I honestly have no idea
Diglett is here still playing Diamond version!
How so?
Nice picture change buddy
Thanks haha. Me on the right, my wife on the left, and our son in the bottom. I know it’s small but I wanted to show my face now haha
…You rang?
I wish we could time travel to November get info and post it as leaks in this time it wouldn’t affect much except are opinions of them varying!
Get in line pal I’ve been wanting to do that since day one
Wishing I had Garnet’s powers enhanced to see that far!
And besides I have a system
1: travel a month AFTER the release date so that Bulbapedia has nearly everything documented
2: bring a flash drive and copy paste every name, image, stat, attack of each Pokemon, and as much info as my gourd can hold
3: return to the past
4: instead of blindly leaking, propose “Fakemons” with all the details
5: and every weekend I’d drop hints of new Pokemon and let people decide if real
6: ???
7: Profit
That sounds like a plan I would even if I couldn’t go that far would go for next reveals and throw it at us now
We could look for the Starter final Evos.and show everyone You Were right or as I would like to say you were WRONG!!!

FINALLY MEGA HERACROSS FOOTAGE
granted very very little but I discovered that it either performs Bullet Seed or Pin Missile by green energy connecting the tips of both horns and in the middle and the attack being materialized and discharged
Starts at 7:27
Ok how in the world does Ash change his clothes with that belt on him…..I can kind see it for the actual clothes he puts on if there’s a little space around him, but there’s no way he put that space suit or whatever on without getting the belt off lol
Just curious, why do you like mega heracross so much?
Let me tell you a little sumthin bout me
As a kid I had several Johto Pokemon I absolutely adored, Donphan, Elekid, Quagsire, Gligar, Sentret, Delibird and lastly Heracross
Heracross was just my all time favorite, I doodled Heracross on nearly every table, watched any episode with Heracross religiously back when this ancient technology existed called “tapes” and for my…. 7th birthday I finally got that Heracross horn attack figure (plus openable back with wings)
It wasn’t until Pokemon Sapphire when I officially and permanently got back into Pokemon and finally found one in the Safari Zone
I tried my luck with Honey Trees in DPPT but to no avail
So it’s pretty obvious I have bit of a History with Heracross, granted it died down when I discovered Rhyperior, then that’s when my Ground Type career began and it died down
But now I am a veteran trainer and have mastered Heracross and its Mega Form as the star lead of my Fighting type team “The Brick Breakers”
Interesting. I like Heracross too. The mega design is interesting too and skill link is great. I kinda have a similar situation with Honchkrow almost..but different
And as a side note, the Honey trees in DPPT were cool in concept but the chances of actually finding the pokemon you wanted weren’t great..
Ughhhhhh too quiet
I need something to doooooooo
I hope NA Virtual Console will get Animal Crossing wild world, something all consuming such as AC is a perfect time eater
I had wild world and when I did everything I possibly could, I used my cousin’s action replay and messed around… and now the game is glitchy af :/
Hmm… why not get New Leaf? It’s cheaper nowadays and it just received a new update.
I had new leaf and have been playing for nearly 3 years or so
I want bit of a new scene with a change of pace, ya dig
New leaf is kind of….old leaf now. Time for them to make another animal crossing.
I can’t remember but I had a insanely cool Animal crossing fan game idea
Something involving a massive urban city and you’d travel via subway to a rural animal village
Or was it time travel
Whatever the next AC is I think it needs something like that. New Leaf’s town is a bit small and while I played it everyday for like 3 years, there’s not always a lot to come back to.
I hate Animal Crossing but the update will be good for it. Amiibo cards got me interested in it.
Seems interesting, but I don’t have any of them.
Sometimes older games are better, but in this case AC always adds cool new things with ever installment.
For time wasters, try GO or Torchlight 2 or something.
Go doesn’t fuckng work for me
Well I dunno how to fix that… uh, new phone or tablet? 🙁
LOL Accidentally posted this on the wrong article. So now I’m reposting it on the RIGHT one. ^-^;
They need to get the guy that plays Sherlock in the Sherlock series, um Benedict Cumberbatch, to do the voice of Pikachu. 😀 THAT would make the show more believable as a “Sherlock type” or movie. LOL danny devito would NOT be a good voice choice, for this part. It wouldn’t feel right, especially NOT to me.
As much as I love Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch, I can’t image Pikachu having that deep of a voice xD But that’s just me
LOL that’s the same with me and Danny Devito, I just can NOT nor do I WANT to hear his voice coming out of Pikachu. 🙂 It just wouldn’t fit right ya know.
it doesn’t matter if you’re not ready, devitochu is coming
I don’t recall them saying that he is voicing Pikachu. I hear you people saying it. So sorry, but that does NOT garenty that its going to happen LOL. >:)
listen buddy, if danny devito doesnt voice pikachu, then i will personally record all of the lines in danny devitos voice and hack them onto nintendos servers
LOL Yeeeahhhh good luck with that. Buddy. >:)
Devito would be an awful choice and they’ll never do it, so I’m not sure why people want that.
Ughhhhhh the new Steven Universe gave me secondhand awkwardness
i gotta say, it’s so cool how popular su has gotten. I feel a bit of a personal connection to the show, partly becaue i’ve been watching since debut, but also because i live in the town rebecca sugar grew up in
Is that the musical? I bet that’s intended.
The Lars one
They always make Lars miserable when he appears?
“Noice”
Well that’s something we can relate to
Brian wecht! Cant slip one past me StarStorm! Lol
Actually I can because that was a reference to the episode Earthen was talking about
HaHA!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! ive been bested!
Now if you’ll excuse me shamu, I will now go do some spyyyder loops
hey that was a low blow I’m not that big…
(not sure if you really thought if I was insulting you or you didnt get the reference or what so im just goona leave this here)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjBsJNC-BYs
no I was just joking I got it.
Ok good 😀
Isn’t Mimikyu is kind of “Breaking the Fourth Wall” stuff. If not, why is Pikachu popular and merchandised in Pokemon World, I mean really, you choose yellow mouse in a world that you can catch a solar deity moth.
Honestly, though, Pikachu has been shown to be very popular throughout the canon of the games.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I mean the world of Pokemon MUST have toys and merchandise of Pokemon I mean the world revolves around it
So yeah…I’m trying to figure out if Mimikyu acknowledges Pikachu’s popularity or the Toy’s
Like does all Mimikyu in the world instinctively know that Pikachu is universally beloved or they just literally evolved the same markings
Just so much to jam a wrench into the biological standpoint
Shameless self advertisement! Anyone with a wii u send Exeledus a friend request! Sick of playing alone! I regret nothing!
Hey guys, I’m getting rid of all my shinies that are not under my Trainer ID. I’ll be on for an hour or so, and if you want some, just give me your FC and which 3 you want (I’ll do more later if they last long enough). And since I got all these from trades, keep in mind some have nicknames and I can’t guarantee their legitimacy. But here’s all the ones I have:
*All are compatible with XY AND ORAS
Blah: 3093-7151-7868
I have all 4 games, but will be using Omega ruby, see you there~
What Pokemon do you want?
Beedrill, steelix, rhyperior.
Alrighty, we can trade whenever you add my FC. 🙂
right now is good~
Are you Senseibelle?
yes.
Rhyperior has an HM. I’ll need to delete that real fast. Sorry!
you don’t have to, just remove it from your party.
Oh, ok. Thanks.
some killer good ones, thanks, and if you have any left over, i can accept them.
Ok! And you’re welcome!
Are they just Shinies or are they competitive
Some are competitive, but I’m not a battler, so I’m in no position to say how good they are.
Ehhh I’m going to bed but put me down for Aegislash, Seismitoad and Nidoking
You got it! I’ll be back on tomorrow.
Not sure if I want any just yet, but just in case I do what are you looking for in return?
Absolutely nothing! Give me Scatterbugs if you want! 🙂
That is very nice of you!
Ehhh Vivillion are actually very potent
Now if they gave you Sunkerns that would be the lowest of blows
I may take you up on the offer then! I’m thinking Dusknoir, Honedge, and Lapras lol
Are you free to trade now? I’ll need your FC and in-game name since I’ve got to keep track of you all. 😉
My friend code is 4768-7447-7816, I’ll need a minute to get to working wifi, but I think I can real quick in little bit. I’ll let you now once I’m in range.
Alright!
Just added your code and ready whenever you are
Oh by the way my name is Alec in game
I would love infernape and dragonite (if they are competitive) Are they :D?
I don’t know about competitiveness because I’m not a battler, but if there’s something in particular I can check (ability, etc) I’ll do it.
Ok, anyways, I don’t really want them that bad since I haven’t played Pokemon Alpha Saphirre in a while XD
2191-7850-5254
Jamie
Lugia,Ho-Oh and Shaymin
Alright, I’ve got you registered!
Registering you now!
Is Jamie your in-game name? I just want to be sure I trade with the right person.
Yeps!
Thank you so much! I couldn’t get the Johto legends for my shiny hunt and I love little shaymin!
What Level is your Swalot, Skaramory and Cloyster?
All 100, my friend!
Wow! Umm…. This is overwhelming! I need to sit down!
I’m interested in Gigalith and Gliscor. I can’t trade till tomorrow, but can you ‘book’ the Gigalith for me please? It’s one of the shinies I’ve wanted for a long time. I’m fine if the Gliscor is gone by tomorrow, but if it’s not, I”ll trade you for it too. What would you like in return?
I’ll definitely hold it for you! And anything is fine; I’m giving them for free!
Wow. That’s awesome! Thank you! 😀
Actually. I’d like the Volcorona instead of the Gliscor, if that’s not too much trouble.
That’s fine. So you want that reserved as well?
I don’t know what that means…
Oh. Sorry i read it as reversed
Nah
So, you’ll be fine if they’re gone? I just want to be sure you’d be ok with that.
Yeah. Except for Gigalith. I will be slightly sad if that’s gone.
Well don’t be sad, I’ve got it on hold for you!
Ok. Thanks 🙂
Caleb
Fc: 4442-0012-5862
I’m interested in Jumpluff, liepard, slurpuff.
I’ll add you in a sec. I’m in a trade now!
That’s fine thank you
Omh, thank you, they’re so cute!
Oh man, how much trading did you do to get all these? xD Sadly my 3DS isn’t on me or I’d be all over this offer, but I’m curious anyway. This has to have taken forever.
Oh, I’ve collected them since XY’s release. I honestly didn’t know it was this many until I gathered them up to trade them!
Quite the selection…impressive.
I’ll probably not take any off you right now. I wouldn’t even reserve any, but we’ll see what’s left tomorrow. <3
EDIT: Typo fixed.
You can reserve if you want! I’ve already got some reserved for 2 others.
Well I would prefer not to make reservations, and the one I truly desire isn’t there anyway, so it’s ok. <3
Ok that’s fine, too!
Yeah I’ll come back around the same time. Can’t trade right now anyway. <3
Wait if we can reserve can you put me on for Articuno please?
Yep!
Thanks! 🙂
any way you can put them on pokebank to save for sun/moon?
I’m saving the ones I caught myself, but I don’t want the ones I traded for anymore. They lessened the shiny value for me, and I’m trying to counteract that. 🙂
I meant because I currently don’t have a pokemon game, if you could bank one for me when sun/moon come out. if you don’t want to hold it I understand
Oh, apologies for the misunderstanding. I can totally save them for you! Which ones do you want?
id love that Furret-Turret to go to a good home! :3 I will adopt him/her!
Alrighty, I’ve made note of it, and I’ll keep her safe!
yay!
I’m ready whenever you are. Just let me know. Oh and thank you in advance!!!!
Well good night everyone
If I don’t croak in my sleep we should consider a Ditto bank
What do you mean?
We can build our own army of 6IV, 5IV 0Speed and hidden power dittos and lend them out.
I wanna name one Goopypoo!
This sounds fine
Oh this is actually a good idea. Having this would be super convenient!
Yep, once we get them bottle caps and Hyper Training, we will rule the world!
@Wes you’re duh best muh man!!! Thank you again!
No problemo! I decided the shinies that I didn’t catch myself didn’t mean much to me, so I’m happy to get rid of them!
Well then I guess that means the Nosepass was a useless gesture hahaha
Do you want it back? I don’t mean to be ungrateful but I won’t get any use out of it.
No you can keep it. It was an extra that to be honest like you said about your shinies I really didn’t want. You can use it as a bargaining chip now tho! lol
Ok guys, I’m going to bed. I’ll make an updated post in the morning with what I have left + current reservations, so please don’t add to my current post. I don’t want to get behind on anything missed!
speaking of shinies I had a few of my own before I traded in my alpha sapphire. whoever got that pre-owned game got the shinies I worked hard to get! I never did give dicie his shiny trevenant, after I said id give it to him, complications arose and I had to leave the jungle for like 2 years 🙁
