No offense or anything, but is English your second language? This post is a little... clunky.A bit late to this topic, but i still want to give my 2 cents on whole live pokemon movie idea.
On one hand im surprised that pokemon franchise decided to invest in first real life action movie ever. But pokemon detective esque Sherlock Holmes type of movie with Pikachu starring in it is not exactly kind of product i was looking forward to.
Than again pokemon fandom seem to be extremely dead set against any real life adaptation using as source of inspiration and ideas characters from video games or anime. And it is don't get me wrong due to valid and understandable reasons given how catastrophe of likes such as Mario or Dragon ball evolution ended up. Turning in nightmare to watch and go through.
To the point that any idea of real life movie with Ash and Misty, Brock or whoever else included in it is despised and awaited with lot of negativity and criticism.
So some neutral based territory to take from movie studios in collaboration with pokemon company where spin off is made sounds like most calming and reassuring compromise. If real life movie based on pokemon in any shape or form needs to happen.
However i have to address one thing. And that is how even if movie based on characters from anime was to happen that does not mean how it would 100% end up in disaster. Yes based on how movie studios did several other manga or anime based adaptations translating it on big screen gives lot of fuel for skepticism and doubts. But dismissing possibility of movie based on original trio, or any other main cast with Ash in it as "awful and destined to be bad" is still highly narrow minded and rather black and white view on this concept.
Considering how just because something has good chance to turn out bad does not necessarily mean it would indeed be bad.
Just like coin has two sides to it, so does exist more than one path and direction in which real life movie adaptations of pokemon series could go. And that direction may aside from negative turn out to be positive as well. Depending on script, how creative storyline may be, source of conflict and mission in which Ash and his companions would be involved. Most importantly if at end of the day such enterprise would hold artistic value and succeed in fulfilling fans expectations.
Now im not advocating how movie based on pokemon anime happening is necessarily the only right solution or should happen, but i felt need to point this out. Due to everyone(or at least big majority) immediately discarding such idea as terrible without taking in account all scenarios and variables objectively.
