What do you guys think? I love these designs and worldbuilding,looks fun. Still can't believe this comes from Rob Letterman a non pokemon fan but the writers(Alex Hirsch and GotG female writer) did a great job I think.

Wouldn't Mewtwo's appearance completely derail the movie plot?
That's a far more pressing matter than finding your dad, unless he's Gio's kid.

It looks promising as this is definitely set up as a Shrek clone with the straight, bitter, misanthropic lead and the wacky, annoying, arrogant animal lead. Deviating from the games to focus on their relationship is important.

My guess is Mewtwo's got something to do with the dad's disappearance and all the violent Pokemon in the trailers:
>the Greninja, escaping chambers
>the fight club Charizard
>the Aipom
Are all controlled by Mewtwo to be evil and a rogue Pokemon likely caused the car accident the dad go into, and the main character and Pikachu make a heartwarming speech at the end of their journey about the bond between people and Pokemon, and Mewtwo calms down

Honestly looks okay and I think will be one of the best video game movie adaptations

Not really, Its probably because they are following the R plot of the game, were some nigga took Mewtwo's berserk gene and made a drug which makes the mon stronger while making it goes ape shit, the diference is Mewtwo is more proactive in the movie rather than staying in backlight like in the game.

Not to spoil you anything, but a big part of the plot in the DP game is that "something" is causing certain pokemon to behave erratically and even destructively. I can assure you that by the end of the movie, once that "something" is taken care of, all the pokemon will return to their lovey-dovey selves. There's no way they'd permanently antagonize pokemon as huge as Charizard or Greninja. The backlash would be huge.

Red's Pikachu shows up as a cameo for a moment in the game. My guess is that this is going to be a different Pikachu, and there might even be a bit of a fake out moment.

The Thunderbolt though looks like Pikachu was building up static from the balloons, so I think that's going to play into it.
