Such a shame that we won't have any more Pokemon or Nintendo movies because Warner Brothers was stupid enough to position DP next to Avengers: Endgame.

You're working on the basis that this was a competition. The win state- if you want to call it that- wasn't "outperform Avengers", it was "make profit".

I love how the only bait for this movie is either; it didn’t beat avengers lmaoooo, or ‘fucking niggerwashing’.
The movie did great, there’s already another live action movie on its way, and this is a bad thread. Anyone who replies under this one got baited.

If DP can't beat week 3 Avengers, can't gross 80 million+ domestically opening weekend, and is touted on the Internet as a "good" but not a "great" movie, then yes, it sucks.

They won't. Detective Pikachu flopped. Pokemon Ranger has been dead for 9 years. People want an actual Pokemon movie, main-series.

It could be in general, anything that’s more of an adventure or a direct quest has better chances than a full retake of the games trainer journey with the gyms and league, time will tell, but I doubt this bait thread is a good place to discuss that

I suppose you don't care about Pokemon becoming a cultural mainstay. This was our first shot at getting Pokemon up there with Star Wars and Marvel. Anyone who loves Pokemon and wants it to aspires for greatness failed to convey that greatness to the masses.

Detective Pikachu is even more boring to be honest. Normies only care about the main series Pokemon games. They want the experience of going out on a journey and catching them all. Being the very best. Normies didn't show up to this film because they only cared about what Pokemon looked like "in real life." People were drawn to Pokemon for the aspects from the main games. This movie did not capture the spirit of what makes Pokemon Pokemon. It is just a mediocre family buddy cop film with some shitty Pokemon models in it.

No, it's a fad. It doesn't have the staying power of Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, etc.

>As if that would do anything for the game quality.
It will increase sales, and as more normies come into the franchise, they will make stronger demands for game quality.

>Greatness to the masses" my ass.
Niche stuff is nowhere as good as the mainstays.

It sells well enough and they're still barely doing shit.
Also normies won't care. Not even MCU can get them to read comics.

Oh fuck off. Pokemon isn't niche nowadays.

Yes. For 20 years.
Pokemon only sells about 5 million copies now because of the repeat purchases from the dual versions.
Pokemon IS niche. Is it watercooler talk? Is it the subject of popular culture and memes/ No.

Half of my jobs had someone either into Pokemon GO or the mainline games. Also popular culture/memes fluctuate with generations, if you think Pokemon is going to keep the exact same hype since the 90s, you're retarded.

It's a fad. Nobody outside of the community knows about or gives a shit about Pokemon unless something "big" happens. Compare that to actual mainstays which stay relevant regardless of what happens.

10-15 million across 2 versions (so really 5-7 million people bought the game) are mediocre numbers at best. Games should get 20 million+ on their own.

So Pokemon can become a financial juggernaut and popular culture mainstay like Marvel and Star Wars. Pokemon has had a negative reputation of being for children. I want Pokemon to be enjoyed by people of all ages and to dominate the industry.

Pokemon is already a financial juggernaut AND a cultural mainstay. In developed countries, damn near everyone under a certain age has experienced Pokemon, and the games continue to sell in the tens of millions even in gens that fans consider garbage. It's flat out beaten both Marvel and Star Wars in profitability while being younger than both by DECADES.

The movie's doing "well enough" and it's being relatively well received by fans, to boot. I'd consider that a massive success.
