Netflix is Developing a Live Action Pokemon TV Series!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Please don’t swear in this series. The worst problem with Detective Pikachu was that the character of that name swore at least twice in the movie, moving it up to PG13. Please make this show more kid-friendly!
Also hope we will see more Pokémon battles. Detective Pikachu only had four “battles”; one was largely off-screen, another was completely one-sided and ended in trainer interference, the third was merely a chase ending in a single devastating move, and the last, though interesting, was over too quickly.
If this show is based off of Pokémon the Series, my interest is going way down, but I’m sure others would be interested. I’m just not sure if I want to see Ash adapted into live action.
Anyways, WPM, hope you manage to at least get a role! Even being an extra would be amazing!

I would like to point out that there is a reason "development hell" exists. Just because it's "in development" doesn't mean it'll go anywhere, or anything will happen. Executives and writers tend to work on many, many things at once, and things can be shelved. Example: the "Halo" movie.
I'm not saying that this is a good or bad thing, they're just announcing that the show is being worked on. Whether or not that actually means it'll be a show may take up to a decade.

At this stage, it could either be a continuation of the current cartoon in live action, or it could be ash's child as hero in action... Already on Netflix as cartoon? BDSP taking the spotlight? Time for Ash to move on and hang up the hat and poke belt? If true, is there any indication that a final TR attack will end the show after an evolution of pikachu for plot reasons?
Netflix, are you actually nuking the cartoon?

I think the same. I also believe this would be too expensive for Netflix to develop (copyrights+technology) when they usually make cost-efficient products to be quickly consumed.
I'm thinking they could try a Space Jam / Who Framed Roger Rabbit approach to the series. Could be interesting. Maybe we'll finally get a proper lead female protagonist for the Pokémon franchise.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah… no.
Given how poorly-received some of Netflix’s other live-action adaptations (Death Note and Bleach being prime examples of this while the production of their live-action take on Avatar: The Last Airbender being so turbulent it caused the IP’s original creators to leave the project over creative differences) have been I’d be lying if I said I was even cautiously optimistic about this.

If it's made by the Detective Pikachu's director,we're in safe hands.
I hope they can make the Pokemon look more cartoony or something. I think they looked kind of creepy in Detective Pikachu.
Also, hire WPM!
