Pokemon

You are given the budget to do a 3-film live-action epic like Lord of the Rings. What would you do?

cast kevin nash as professor oak and he gets raped by bulbasaur

Make Ash trilogy combined with lore of Dialga and Palkia so we have gods for 3 movies

Jack Black as Ash

Just do the anime Kanto arc but Ash wins at the end

16 hours of Misty getting reamed by every single first gen pokemon.

Pocket it all. LOTR sucked.

Actually no, I would make it pokemon coded, but it will just be shilling the book I'm working on right now.

tell them i want to go scene scouting in the bahamas for the st anne arc, charter a yacht, buy as nuch cocaine as i can find, "hire" some "talent" from instagram infuencers, and die three days later

idris elba as pikachu

3-film live-live action epic LOTR Pokemon

Can I just steal the money and never make it? Pokemon shouldn't be live action.

Nicolas Cage as all the Pokemon.

intro is adult Ash driving back home

goes into his childhood bedroom

finds an old VHS tape labeled "Championship of 1998" and pops it into his old VCR

Nintendo logo comes down like a Gameboy booting up

TV is fucked up and each city has a different palette like on the Super Gameboy

movie begins for real

6 hours of me having sex with a girl with massive tits cosplaying as May

Follow close to the aesthetics of the show and game

Colorful, optimistic, kid friendly

The Pokemon are 3D, but they are more like plush dolls than real animals with fur

Special effects will have 2D elements, like Arcane/Spiderverse

Fun over realism

Characters: Ash, Misty, Brock, Gary, Prof Oak, Ash's Mom, Giovanni, Jesse, James, Bill

Make the kids 14-17ish instead of 10, mostly unknown actors

Cast beautiful women to play Jenny and Joy (same actress throughout, obviously)

multiethnic but not forced, going easy mode, not to offend the snowflakes or trigger the chuds, the goal is to not make the headlines because of that

Pay a lot of money on pre-production to get those elements right and sell merch in the form of sneakers, caps, shirts, besides the usual Pokemon material, it's one of the best IPs for this

Advertise the movie with events in Pokemon Go

90% of Pokemon from gen1, 8% of gen 2, 2% for the rest, don't specify

First movie

Ho-oh appears, Ash gets pikachu, releases butterfree, meets and fights Brock and Misty

We get to see each city they go to and we hear about the Indigo League

They gather together to stop some Team Rocket plot

post-credit scene: Mewtwo is asleep on Rocket's lair

Second movie

first half is Ash gathering more badges, Team Rocket fails comically

second half is practically a remake of the first animated Mewtwo movie, same story

people crying over stone ash and etc

Third movie

Ash fights for the last badges and gets into the Indigo League

The movie will play around the League, mostly, with Team Rocket scheming, other trainers, etc

Ash LOSES the league and it's a plot twist to the viewer

However, it ends in a very optimistic tone about how big the world and how good it is to strive for more, to catch em all and so on

Ash hop on a Lapras and there is a hook for potential sequels

There, you've got 3 Billion right there minimum, producers would beg me to work on a sequel trilogy.

Pocket 2/3rd of the budget and produce slop because I know Pokémon fans are used to consuming slop.

original 150/series
base each of them on each starter.
unique OC in each movie.
team rocket encounters throughout with final standoff with gio in the last one.
after credits scene is kid leaving his room and getting his red hat and pikachu following him.
4th movie is all ash/brock/misty

massive

Thought this post was based but I realized its not actually based.

why didnt they make a generic pokemon trainer movie with newt as the mc, instead of the black guy
just looked up detective pikachu's box office, 433 million
holy shit what a flop, pokemon should have been a billion dollar movie at least. literally the biggest franchise and it flops like a magikarp

Release 3 different cuts into the theater at the same time

Call them Red, Blue, and Yellow

All of them have slightly different Pokemon, scenes, easter eggs

Not sure if people would be mad about this and it would fail or if it would make a trillion dollars

fuk u spake it into existence. theyre probably gonna do that but not name them exclusively and will just base it off the poster color. gotta got to different theatres or different showings to see the different cuts. all of this to help drive more traffic to dying theatres. (it doesnt work)

Green version only available in Japan

Have to watch it on streaming services after its theater run to see it

So was there a Mew under the truck or what?

No but I was surprised to learn recently that there is a fairly easy glitch in Crystal to encounter a Mew.

What would that be?

Make it from the perspective of someone who got his ass beaten by Ash. His pokemon was severly hurt and couldn't walk anymore, and now he's trying to make a living as a journalist. He then stumbles across a plot to clone hybrid pokemons with devastating powers and he is forced to team up with Ash to save the day.

nvm it was Celebi

Mewtwo, Regis, Weather Trio

Nicolas Cage as Ash
Warwick Davis as Pikachu
Samuel L. Jackson as Gary
Christian Bale as Lance
Laurence Fishburne as Professor Oak
Joe Pesci as Giovanni

I've been daydreaming this ever since the late 90s.

-Opening scene of an asteroid heading towards earth. It tumbles in the sunlight with rainbow colors. It's full of energy stones. It crashes into the earth.
-Montage of dinosaurs and animals dying, with some having multicolor radiation burns. The irradiated ones develop powers.
-Quick montage of human history from cavemen to modern day- humans dealing with demigod like animals. Mostly fighting against them, but some working with them.
-Cut to kid sleeping in class. What we saw in the opening is what is being taught. The kid is Ash, a very young Ash.
-Ash is best friends with Gary. They're now down by the lake south of Pallet Town. They talk and point out over the water to where Gary's parents are. They're working on an island, doing science.
-In the distance, over the horizon, a small pinprick of orange glow. Barely noticeable in the evening. Gary freaks out and runs home.
-The explosion must have been massive to have been seen from this distance... his parents were working on a volcanic island after all
-Ash stays behind, trying to see. Then sees a supersonic streak across the sky, coming from the sea, from the glow... something is travelling... flying... very fast (it's Mewtwo fyi)
-Ash tries to tell people what he saw, but everyone is distraught. Something happened on the island, Cinnabar island. Garys parent are probably dead, and he punches Ash thinking Ash is making up stories to be the center of attention.
-Cut to "present" day Ash. Late for his first Pokemon...

Sounds gay your ideas are gay. Didn't even read it.

Professor Oak prequel

sounds KINO anon, would watch your film

This. He shouldn't even see his first Pokemon until the final scene of the movie. Its just him finding out about them, following rumors, learning, growing.

I know you liked it, and are upset it will never happen, so you're coping. It's okay. I had 20yrs to get over it. You will too.

Hire on a bunch of my incompetent friends for huge stipends in exchange for a little extra kickback my way, get some DEI hires to make the movie and ride the gravy train with my pals until it runs out of track

Ash knowing about Mewtwo from the very beginning

no I don't like it

all the pokemon are just midgets in onseys.

1. RB - beat Team Rocket in Kanto, ends in champion fight

2. GSC - beat Team Rocket in Johto, ends in champion fight

3. creative liberties time.

rework Mewtwo Strikes Back & 2000, bits of Spell of the Unknown + 4Ever, into finale of both previous movies
red/gold/elite 4 a-plot
blue/silver/gym leaders b-plot
Kriss/professors/others c-plot

Giovanni working from shadows recruits various foreign criminal orgs with crazy tech controlling Mewtwo
Pokemon legion of doom assembled
Wants pokemon WWII
Tests it on Cinnabar & Seafoams, maybe even Whirl isles
Hiroshima Nagasakis them
Massive TEAMUP to take down org, Mewtwo redeemed but not by mew or tears but too powerful to be allowed to live, dies a hero ending taking Giovanni with him who has bio-tech'd himself out

World tries to go back to normal but scarred by what science hath wrought

Ties into future themes of nature unchecked in RSE if they order another trilogy

Nintendo, hire this man

make Ash an orphan that his mom picked up off the street to explain why his father is never mentioned

into finale for*, not of
For brevity I'll clarify
Last movie uses bits from the anime feature films, mostly Mewtwo Strikes Back, to make a compelling ending for Red/Gold/Giovanni's stories.
Not sprinkle hints and cameos across the first two. The first two should be as faithfully adapted as possible so when shit goes crazy in movie 3 its extra impactful

That's the only way. Also have Ash find a VHS of "Stand By Me" but ultimately choose "Championship of 1998". Then during the film see it play on TV near the kitchen area of his house like in the game.

Everybody not taking this opportunity to delete gay Ash and write CHAD RED are lame and retarded. Pokemon Origins and Generations are what the anime should have been 25 years ago

not Dick (Ash) and Pussy (Gary)

Laaaame

The Ballad of Gay Nash

But Gary is Dicks?

This would be so cool, especially if it has old fashion pokeballs and discovering 'new' pokemon for the first time.

Implying Pokemon just like...weren't around 30yrs ago? Pokemon evolved alongside people, why would he have to do anything out of the ordinary to not run into infinite Zubat in caves, or Rattata/Pidgey in tall grass?

I wouldn't dream of it. Sugimori style or no movies. But a bit of modern sakuga animation frames saved for the final battles wouldn't hurt

-Opening scene of an asteroid heading towards earth. It tumbles in the sunlight with rainbow colors. It's full of energy stones. It crashes into the earth.

I really like this as an in-world explanation for Pokemon. Its better than whatever Nintendo have come up with.

To see off the inevitable plothole of how humans were unaffected from getting irradiated by the stones, you could add to your theory by saying they were. Humans were given the greatest of all abilities: natural dominion over the irradiated animals.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Giovanni.

Pokemon but a group of teenagers get sucked into their dads video game cartridge of pokemon yellow and have to achieve their poke destiny to defeat all 8 gym leaders and the elite 4 and team rocket until they can leave

Sex with Ralts
Sex with Kirlia
Sex with Gardevoir

Team Rocket members act like a PG rated version of Sopranos characters

CHECKED AND BASED. I know some suit is reading this literally just hire him.

Come to think of it, why did Ash lose the championship for decades? Did the writers just hate him?

I…am ASH

to give him a reason to keep exploring and keep training. If he won and became a champion he would have to stay in that region until someone beat him. Can't do that when you have toys to sell and a new game to advertise

Massive missed opportunities for awesome challengers to rise up, advertise the next gen protags instead of being ashs temporary travelling buddies, still prompts ash to explore new regions and still be akin to Mt. Silver Red by the time the Worlds Series rolls around

No. Adult Ash is Jensen Ackles. But only for the start of the film.

Make it so the Pokemon world went through a massive war 20-30 years ago. Technology got to the point where cloning and genetic experimentation were widely used and abused and some of the Pokemon are results of that and some were created to be war machines. Professor Oak recruits Ash (15-17 years old) to help him catalogue the pokemon because no concrete centralized database exists of all the weird pokemon that were created in labs and set loose. You can have flashbacks to the destruction and ruins spread around that the characters explore.

This is also why Jenny and Joy are the same everywhere, they were literally cloned because of a critical loss in manpower for policing and healthcare roles during the rebuilding.

First movie is Ash recruiting others to help him with his quest and ends with them uncovering Giovanni's plan to clone Mew. Giovanni realizes that the period of lawlessness and corruption of the post-war is ending and his power will fade, so he wants to have a godlike pokemon. Second movie is them fighting Mewtwo and taking down Giovanni. Misty, Ash's love interest, dies. Third movie is finding Celebi to undo the destruction from the fallout of Mewtwo. However Ash can't stay in this fixed timeline and has to return to his original timeline, but gets closure with past Misty.

Also there are memes like Pikachu face to make execs happy.

Kek what a bitch

Shouldn't he be Japanese?

Cringe

would be nice, don't think he'd be willing though
