FIRST TIME WATCHING *Pokémon Detective Pikachu*

Who was the BEST Pokemon in this?! And what should I watch next??

The reason Pikachu got knocked out by a single rock is because electric types are weak against ground type attacks.

This is actually a movie that is rare on reaction channels despite being the first attempt at realistic pokemon

One of the best video game movies. Ryan Reynolds voicing Pikachu was the icing on the cake 👌

As a massive Pokémon fan, I loved this movie. There was a bit more focus on the first Gen guys than I would like, but the fact that they showed a few from every generation at all is really nice. I really appreciate that this movie feels like it’s own world and not the usual “we were sent to the Pokémon world” or “Pokémon were sent to our world” story like Sonic or even Mario did. Not that the formula is bad, but Pokémon specifically has such a big world that letting everything flow naturally felt great. I appreciate that they didn’t really stop to explain each Pokémon on screen and just expect the audience to either already know or just look at the funky animals and be impressed. The biggest thing that makes me love this film though is the Pokémon them selves. They didn’t really do that thing where they redesigned the to “be realistic.” They simply applies new textures and some new physics on each one so they remain recognizable. Charizard still has his belly, Torterra has his weird bear trap teeth, stuff like that. There are some added details that also make the Pokémon more accurate, like how Psyduck’s irises are actually white in this movie to replicate the tiny dot pupils it has in the games and anime. It all felt and looked really neat. There’s apparently a Netflix series in the works involving this world but we have basically no info on it, I hope it’s good.

I knew I wasn't the only one who remembers Pikachu having the black part on his tail,I will always die on that hill

I think he doesn’t questions Pikachu sounding like his dad because he probably thinks it’s part of the reason he can hear him, or the fact that Pikachu was his dad’s partner Pokemon. He’s already freaked out he can’t communicate with Pikachu so I don’t think he’s going to question anything else.

This is actually a really awesome and fun movie. I can tell a lot of Pokémon fans loved how fanservice-y this was. I especially loved Detective Pikachu’s likable personality and accurate he looks to the game this is based on. I definitely recommend this to anyone who’s a major Pokémon fan or people who just heard of the franchise.

Seb is assembling the weirdest Avengers: Avocado Guy from Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, the Ludicolo here and the cabbage merchant from ATLA so far

Seb. The reason Pikachu passed out from the rock is because ground type moves are super effective against electric. So even though it's a small rock it's still his weakness and messed him up.

21:41 my favourite seb reaction ngl

The whole film was about how he had no connection with his dad so it's not surprising he wouldn't recognise his voice. He hadn't heard it since be was a kid. I'm with you, I would absolutely LOVE a sequel!

The pikachu used for pokèmon contests does in fact have a black spot on its tail so you might be thinking of that. I love that mewtwo’s voice is both a male and female one overlapped since in the animated movies they’ve been depicted as both male and female, at least in the dubs. I got to enjoy this movie in cinemas and it was absolutely incredible, I don’t think we could get a more perfect adaptation. 14:23 I was absolutely obsessed with this but lmao 23:58 this bit was mind blowing, I wish we got to see them like this in the games 27:50 this was actually filmed in London and while they were supposed to use actual balloons the weather was so shit here that they couldn’t and had to use cgi lmao Also the ditto faces are actually incorrect, that iconic face is actually from a ditto in the anime that was struggling to transform and by the end of the episode it actually learnt how to replicate pokèmon properly. However that face is so much more recognisably a ditto that it’s stuck around for marketing purposes.

I still think having the movie be based on Detective Pikachu was one of the best decisions they made. It had every opportunity to do fanservice and world-building with a simple compelling buddy cop story for the general audience and STILL have it star the franchise mascot. Definitely a better introduction (assuming they make more) than if they did a movie about Red, Blue and Leaf. also yeah great vid btw as always :3

Not Dopander and Deadpool cameo in here. Haha..

Petition for Seb to watch national treaudre

the guy who plays howard clifford also plays davy jones in pirates of the caribbean

This popped up on my feed and I just said "Yessss" in a weird, deep creepy voice. I don't know why you reacting to this film has brought me so much joy 😅

18:22 Hold on!? Is that Dialga and Palkia? Pokemon of Time and Space ,right!?

Just to clarify Seb The pink gas that makes Pokemon go crazy was yes meant for them to go crazy ,but the Pokemon going crazy would mean they weren't thinking straight and they're mind would Be more malleable and using that mind transfer device thingy, humans like us could invade and control the minds of Pokemon
