no, that's ground.
Rock is neutral to electric and vice versa.
Rock Throw shouldn't have KO'd him like that.

I mean the pebble that hit him was like the size of a baseball and people have been killed by those so for Pikachu which is much smaller it makes sense

It just happened incredibly quickly and it looked a lot smaller to me. Maybe it was bigger, would have to watch that again.

Fair enough. I just remember thinking it was believably big enough to do internal damage without like just splatting him with a bigger rock.

Yeah it was pretty big.

Anyway, just watched it too yesterday. Pretty fun movie though I definitely have the same gripes as Ermine. But hey if this movie turns out to be a financial success and more Pokmon movies in this style are made, I'm happy.

Though I think Pikachu quipped a bit too much but eh. And none of the human characters were really enjoyable to me. The main girl is more annoying than anything.

Man, I thought Lucy was pretty funny. I never found her really annoying at all.

The actress is also outstanding in Blockers, which is highly recommend from me.

After I watched this video I find Lucy's actress (Kathryn Newton) to be really adorable.

I don't follow the Lucy complaints... her character is cartoonish and cheesy but it fits the mood of the movie fine.

This is just me personally wondering, but if 85% of fans like it, perhaps critics are partly looking for it to be something it wasnt trying to be. I certainly dont expect it to evolve any narrative genres, but to play it kind of safe in that regard and just try to make hanging out with Pokmon look like a lot of fun.

And tbh I think doing that well if done so counts as more of a 63% success but w/e.

I realize saying things like not for the critics is a classic cop out for a terrible film, but the ranking isnt low enough to actually say terrible either. Like, for the average film goer maybe it isnt their best destination film but succeeding in making Pokmon accessible and entertaining to a large audience was clearly their real goal here and 85% says they succeeded at that if not making the tightest film.

When comparing critics to general audience, you have to remember critics generally have to watch everything while the audience is choosing to be there; that can lead to discrepancies, especially when it's something with an already established franchise.

She definitely posed and spoke like you would expect a Pokemon character to do. It's just understandable in the game, and it turns out mildly annoying in real life.

I mean just imagine someone walks up to you, strikes a post and aggressively insists that you help them get to the bottom of a mystery.

I would laugh because the way in which she did it was funny.

That was like, the only point in the movie I can imagine anyone thinking she was annoying.

The one where she tried to play noir informant and insisted the guy doesn't look a her was also annoying to me, especially since she dropped the act right away anyway.

And she cutting the wire fence even though there was a security camera, without hiding her face

She definitely posed and spoke like you would expect a Pokemon character to do.

Yeah this is an apt way to put it.

***RATHER THAN USE THE SPOILER TAG ON THE WHOLE POST I'LL JUST TELL YOU THIS POST HAS SPOILERS***

Did anyone else think the end credits sequence was the best part? Seeing the original Game Boy look, then anime renderings of all the characters w/the og music playing, that was worth the price of admission for me. Then of course it goes into some bad generic pop song for the rest of the credits >_<

The actual movie was hit or miss for me. Sure it was great to see actual good 3D renderings of some of the best pokmon, but it's seems like they were content with just showing them off and not actually doing much with them.

Pikachu's one-liners were kinda cringy at times, though I was a fan of Ryan Reynolds singing the original Pokmon anime theme while fighting through tears.

I wish the plot centered more on the pokmon than the human characters. The dramatic/emotional moments with Tim felt really forced. I also didn't really get the villain's motivation behind merging humans with pokmon. Like, I get why he did it to himself, but why force it upon everyone else? Just for some good ol' chaotic mischief? I agree the Ditto twist was good. Seeing Angels with Filthy Souls and having them play it off as a "real" detective movie was a bizarre but funny little easter egg for Home Alone fans.

BTW here's the music that plays during that end credits sequence:

Detective Pikachu spoilers.
Did they say what experiment was being done on the Greninja? If they aren't Protean their Dark type should have protected them from Psyduck's Psychic attacks.



I talked about this in some other topic as I thought about it too. Movie mentions nothing about abilities, but it can be explained by Protean as they had all used Water Shuriken and therefore I'm fine with it.

Edit: Why in the world do you have to manually put spoiler tags on, when you quite a post with spoilers.

It was all right. It was way less funny than I thought it would be... but it wasn't boring.

My 7 year old liked it and liked how cute Pikachu was.

felt like there wasn't enough of pokemon actually doing pokemon things.
