Because one city doesn't have all 812 pokemon known to man running around. Do you see more than a dozen species running around in your day to day life?

You already know the answer. Each of those models and their animations costs money and it's not wise to blow your film's whole budget on a bunch of background characters. If DP does well though, I really think we'll more variety in the sequel though because they'll feel it's less of a gamble.

The typical first world city has a maximum of one large wild animal species wandering around. How many do you even see in canon pokemon cities?

There is no sense in making that comparison in the first place, if it was meant to reflect reality it could have been made with real animals.

Let's not forget it's a movie about Pokémon.

Considering most of them are partners to people, it's not even a wild animal situation. This is like asking why you see more people with pit bulls and chihuahuas than pharaoh hounds and Canaan dogs.

Pokemon is obviously the animal equivalent in real life. And you don't see more than a dozen of species at a time in a city. Some birds, dogs and that's it. Even if you dont want to make that comparison, IN GAME, most pokemon cities and their neighboring routes have a dozen pokemon at best.

Yes, but not everyone is going to have a ton of varying species unless they come from all over the world. You forget catching pokemon is actually harder then it looks in game, so a lot of people just get common household type ones like in real life where they get a dog instead of a snake.

Good point, but people in Ryme City don't even catch their pokemon, the intro video explicitly said no pokeballs, so it's probably more just partnering up with whatever you can find wandering the city.

It's not. IRL, most animals are not domesticated. In Pokemon, any of them can be your partner. Part of what makes them special is the variety. You know, "gotta catch 'em all" and stuff.

>>38544592
This is the only acceptable answer up to this point.

In that case it's probably the native mons there. Looking on the outskirts of all the "big" Pokemon cities in the games the wild mons are around that amount of diversity, maybe even less (except Kalos but that dex was huge as fuck).

iirc they recycled 60 models, to put that into perspective kalos introduced 72 new pokemon. Only 12 more than detective pikachu showcased.

Kalos didn't have just those 72 available, though. And they made models for every other gen at that point.

If you want to talk about how many new pokemon were introduced, the correct number for DP would be 0.

Yeah, but be real. The limited mon selection was a matter of budget, not a worldbuilding decision.

Because it's realistic. Just look at what people choose in the games. If Pokemon were real, you'd see a shitton of people with Greninjas, Charizard, Sneasels and the like and hardly anyone with Mr. Mimes, or Morelulls.

It’s the first movie, they’re not gonna blow their budget making 812 different creature models and animations for background characters. Future Pokémon movies will be more varied since they’ll have assets to reuse alongside new Pokémon
