Wait a minute, where are the pokeballs!?
>not a single one featured in the detective Pikachu trailer
>not even as a logo/decoration in any place
Are they dropping the pokeball concept for this cinematic universe? The hell? This movie shouldn't even be allowed here, not only you can't catch them all there, you cannot catch anyone at all...

I've made this thread two times now and I'm pretty convinced now it doesn't have pokéballs in this movie. The closest thing people have found are actually sweets.

the original detective pikachu barely showed poke balls, cant recal any
is not that trainers doesnt exist, is just that being a trainer isnt the focus. I don't recall Ranger having Poke Balls either when they had many chances to show them.

Yeah, but in the Pokémon universe you see the Pokéball as a symbol very often. And making a movie about Pokémon it's a BOLD choice to not use the second most recognizable thing after a Pikachu.

It would make kinda sense to not have pokéballs in that scenario.

They'll probably be played down as the primary storage device for Pokémon in a party. Just something trainers use when traveling or when preparing for a match. Most people wouldn't have a large party of Pokémon, as they'd all require maintenance. People would just keep their one or two Pokémon out of the Pokéballs.

If it's successful and makes a lot of money, why wouldn't you continue to do it? Especially considering Pokemon's one of those franchises where the media can sell each other, e.g. someone who hasn't been into Pokemon in ages goes to the newest movie then gets interested again, buys the newest console + game and so on. Good money there.

It's going to do gangbusters and you bloody well know it Walt. Go wring Pixar out for more shekels - oh wait, you are already. And TWO trailers, barely a day apart after Pokémon grabbed the attention off yis, cringe.

And the only problem I have with that is the assumption it's a zero-sum game. Whether it beats A4 to #1 or not is irrelevant, it's assured itself Top 2 and while for A4, that's a critical blow if they only get #2, for Pokémon it'll be huge regardless (especially if it turns out to be one of the very few VG movies that don't suck).

The trailer did the moment it introduced the setting as "Ryme City" and the train ticket's destination was "Leaventown". (Godawful pun. Also, Ryme City was spelled exactly as retardedly as that on the ticket.)

It's clearly a different universe than the games. He did have Johto and Sinnoh posters but the places the movie specifically brings do not exist and have shitty names.

Truth be told, if pokemon actually existed very few people would have enough pokemon to warrant pokeballs. I imagine most people who arent trainers have 1 or two pokemon max, and trainers have about 4-6 and probably only keep them in balls while traveling. I'd probably only ever have a Selazzle, Weezing and Vileplume and I wouldn't even be a trainer

You've got a lot of balls thinking capeshit retards care more about pika pika wahoo than the comics they've known and loved. People will unironically walk out of Detective Pikachu to sneak into Avengers the moment it gets too cringey for them or requires them to recognize pokemon beyond the first 151.

I completely disagree. Everyone that I've seen unironically complimenting it have been nothing but grownass manchildren. Children are definitely creeped out by the cgi graphics. Parents don't want to take their kids to this, their kids already cried at the cgi in The Nutcracker and The Four Realms and that shit wasn't even close to all these nightmarish cgi pokemon. Normie teens are more interested in seeing Avengers than Pokemon. The writing shown in the trailers alone is already making itself abundantly clear that it's not going to be groundbreaking. The MOMENT you hear "Happy Together" in the trailer you know it's going to be a subpar comedy film. People will go see it for the cringe but because it has to fight the box office with Avengers it's very likely going to flounder because the capeshit producers actually know what they're doing.

Not to mention this will be the big Stan Lee sendoff tribute deal, so capeshits will feel obligated to see Avengers to respect the man and see his last cameo.

Pokeballs make sense in-game but they are a little awkward to fit in a more"grounded" context. It also becomes a little hard to drive the point of "Pokémon are your friends, you gotta love and respect them" when everyone keeps them hybernated in tiny cages most of the time.
