Funny trivia: Someone asked Iwane in 2017 if a Movie 1 remake was on the agenda for 2018, and Iwane dismissed the idea.

maybe because it was on the agenda for 2019. . .

People really comparing it to SM designs? And even see it as worser than SM? I find it really unfair. Humans looks like how Kanto characters usually look. I'm not sure what you were expecting. We didn't even see yet how they move.

DON'T TELL ME THAT THIS IS MEANINGLESS HOW DOES HE KNOW ABOUT HER CUTE 'LIL GLASSES IF SHE ISN'T BEING ANIMATED?!

Yes I know he's also been drawing a bunch of other Rockets, shush.

What have they DONE?!?!?!?!?!

Made a perfectly okay movie, IMO?

Did people like that comment because of the great art or your opinion?

These glasses looks very modern. I can see her in the movie with this design.

Really enjoying the animation in terms of background and locations

The end theme has been announced to be a new rendition of the original end theme "Kaze to issho ni" by Sachiko Kobayashi, however this time it will be sung by Sachiko Kobayashi as well as Shoko Nakagawa and arranged by Seiji Kameda. It'll also be released on CD in Japan on July 10th 2019

I'm glad that Sachiko is back for the song and presumably to voice Miranda. As for Shoko, while her three songs to date haven't impressed me (probably because of the music, so it wasn't her fault), her inclusion is a nice reminder that she was a teenager when the first movie premiered.

I'm guessing that she will replace Ayako Shiraishi as Nurse Joy, since the latter retired in 2002 and Shoko voiced another Joy two years ago. I'm pretty sure that the only other VA replacements will be for Giovanni and maybe Raymond (the Donphan guy, who might be redesigned and renamed) for practical reasons. Unsho Ishizuka managed to record his narration before he passed away.

Just in time, I was wondering where our early April trailer was this year. I need to see Rocket faces!

As for the ending theme, I am beyond thrilled that Kobayashi is back for Kaze to Issho ni - my favourite song in the entire franchise. I hope Shokotan's polished plastic professional Pokefan thing doesn't wreck the feels.

I think that Jessie, James and the three COTDs all look better than Ash and co. and Nurse Joy.

Spoiler

The lack of consistency is kind of a shame, but not a deal breaker.

 

[Minnale101]

This movie looks horrific. So much more excited for detective Pikachu

 

[prog rocker]

I don't like the armor in this movie at all. It looks over-designed in my opinion.

I think they want to eat my soul. Or at least collect it for the devil.

 

[prog rocker]

Well, Brock doesn't look that bad now. Ash, on the other hand...

 

[Hidden Mew]

I think that the human designs work a bit better in motion. Or at least they come off a bit more expressive than I thought that they would. We didn't see much of the Team Rocket trio though. The Pokemon still look much better in CGI by comparison, but it might look better once I see the movie.

 

[Karamazov]

This movie looks like one of those cheap, foreign knock-offs of more popular movies. Except everything here is hyper-detailed to an almost creepy degree.
