Because Danny Devito has a peculiar voice and people would think it'd be funny.

What I wanna know is...is Pikachu going to be a guy in a mascot suit or mostly CGI?

Matrixbeast · 07-20-2016, 11:00 PM

It'd be hilariously awkward if it was some guy in a suit the whole ride

Ugh what a mistake they made. After the hype Pokemon Go has had and bringing back older fans into the franchise, basing the first live action movie on this is already a disaster.

I think it's the best decision. It's a movie that features the Pokemon as a star, and not some random kid running around ordering them to do this or that.

Then they should've done one based on Mystery Dungeon if they wanted a Pokemon to be the main star, but that wouldn't work since this is supposed to be a live action movie.

A lot of people thought a live action movie would be based on the anime since more people are familiar with the TV show than anything else.

I would've preferred this route, but for a live action picture, I think Detective Pikachu is still the best option since the leads will be a Pokemon and a human.

That would be the surefire way to make sure it fails.

The anime doesn't need live action movies, it already gets movies. Let the games make it to the big screen for once.

Because video game movies are well known for being big hits...
