There’s a juicy rumour going round that originated from the Hollywood Reporter which suggests that we should expect a big-budget live-action movie based on the Pokemon franchise. It seems as though Legendary are the company that have been chosen with the task, however Warner Bros was among the early favorites to take on the project. As you might expect Legendary, Warner Bros and Sony declined to comment on the rumour.
Thanks, MasterPikachu6
Has rumours gone too far?
Yes, apparently. This sounds like a cool idea, but then again it might end up like that one horrible live-action Dragon Ball movie…………
There was no live action Dragonball movie. Nuh uh. No way. Never happened. Now let us never speak of that monstrosity ever again.
Can we talk about this though?
NO. Just NO. Live action movies based on animes always end up bad.
The Death Note movie is OK. So is the Ruronin Kenshin movie or that one movie with Tom Cruise or Oldboy (OK, they are based on mangas but still…)
I bought the death note movie a long time ago at a con and realized when I got home it wasn’t playable in my region :(
Fail!
I’ve wondered for YEARS why they never made a live-action Pokémon movie. I’d like it much more if it was based on the original (early seasons) of the anime. With Ash, Misty and Brock. But I know it won’t, even if there IS a live-action movie. Then again, would anybody be happy with ANY of the choices they made for the cast? For that reason, it would probably be best to have all new people that are unknown.
Hell no. Hollywood doesn’t know a thing about Pokemon. All of my nope.
Pokemon: *insert subtitle*
Directed by Michael Bay
Hell no

If Nintendo gets the Jim Henson Company to work with them again I would be 100% down to watch this.
I they did really, REALLY good CG it might pass, like Star Wars quality CG or animatronics or something. If not… then we are looking at another Mario Bros. movie.
A LIVE ACTION Pokemon movie? If this is true I doubt it’ll go well.
Pffft, before we even get a full fledged Pokemon adventure for console’s? Bullshit, I call bullshit.
And just no anyway, terrible idea.
I am so down, after poken I’m so ready
I finally got the Pokken controller in the mail yesterday! I can’t wait to try it tonight!
Please do not let Uwe Boll direct. Please no Brock. I don’t want some poor actor stuck doing the entire movie with his eyes closed.
French Stewart tho

Uwe Boll OR Michael Bay. If either of those guys get their hands on it, it’ll either be total crap or be entertaining but a terrible representation of the source material as it’s full of baysplosions & immature sex jokes.
If they do start making this, I hope they don’t just take Ash and tell his story in movie form. All kinds of kids play these games, so I’d like to see some variety in the protagonist group.
Can we get Danny DeVito to play Giovanni, seeing as we can’t have him as Detective Pikachu?
As long as it’s not about the anime characters, I’m down for it.
If this happens, I want James Earl Jones to voice Mewtwo! I mean, think how fans would react to the voice of Darth Vader voicing the most famous Legendary Pokémon!
Oh boy yes
Only rumours, and it better not be Hollywood, because most of the time their film adaptations fail.
