real talk though people are taking the pokemon design thing waaay too seriously. theres people who are fucking furious about the designs and then theres people who are furious about the people being furious like please… it is a fun little movie about a fun little man.. going on a fun little adventure in a little detective hat… please…
nerds are like “ugh mr mime is so creepy in the detective pikachu trailer” like they expected a cute mr mime??? mr mime. mr mime???? live action mr mime being a terrifying imp is the most accurate pokemon in the trailer why are y’all shocked.
it shows us that Pokemon does look different in “real” life compared to how media portrays them. Because look at those balloons on the back. Look at the Jigglypuff one compared to the “real” Jigglypuff here.
It’s interesting because even in our society, we draw certain animals differently and more simplified, and “cuter” than the real ones in a lot of cases.
I just really appreciate this -realistic- approach of Pokemon because it show how detailed the world idea is in that universe. By showing this bit it kinda shown how developed their world is in comparison to ours!
