>>38495636As much as I would love a live action pokemon movie with tons of practical animatronics and puppetry for the pokemon, no way would a Hollywood studio give that a shot.
Just look at The Thing's prequel from 2011; what could have been a bad prequel but fun creature feature got turned into both a bad prequel and a terrible painted-over CGI dumpster fire because "test audiences didn't like the practical effects"
