Pokémon: Detective Pikachu

Though I have not played the last two generations of Pokémon games, I still consider myself a Pokémon fan, so any review of “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu” is likely to be heavily biased. Therefore, to be balanced, I have a series of pairs of Pros and Cons.

CON: Ryan Reynolds instead of Danny Devito as Pikachu PRO: Pikachu is not PG-rated Deadpool, but its own fun character.

CON: Only two short 1v1 Pokémon battles. PRO: Jigglypuff sings a person to sleep, Machamp as a traffic guard, Charmander uses tail to heat stir fry, Loudred as speakers.

CON: Lickitung is unnervingly gross PRO: Lickitung is unnervingly gross, as a realistic small, pink, squishy dinosaur with a tongue twice its size should be.

CON: Katheryn Newton’s ridiculous overacting PRO: Katheryn Newton’s overacting reminiscent of the anime

PRO: Mr. Mime CON: Not enough Mr. Mime

CON: Why is Snorlax so small? PRO: Snorlax is actually only 6’11’ (2.1m), so it is an accurate depiction of its size. Most people think Pokémon are a lot bigger than they actually are.

CON: Only one scene of a Pokémon evolving, and it is shown almost as an afterthought PRO: Bill Nighy and the weird evolution scheme

CON: Recycling Mewtwo as an antagonist (sort of) PRO: Recylcing Mewtwo as an antagonist (sort of) and lots of other fan service for older fans: Pikachu, Psyduck in prominent roles and Togepi and Jigglypuff sightings, all of whom had prominent rolls in the anime. The MacGuffin is formula R (for Team Rocket)

BUT there is one, disgustingly upsetting flaw, that does not have any Pro to balance it with. I get you cant have all 809 pokemon in the movie. They decided to go with about 60 different species. I am disappointed that Dunsparce, Shuckle, and Probopass weren’t included, but I accept that. They have to save something for the sequels.

But they decided to have:

Audino

a boring... something

But no Vanillite

Graveler

A stupid rock with hands

BUT NO Vanillish

Emolga

An electric rodent no one cares about

BUT NO Vannilux.

Unforgivable.

Me: *goes to ice cream parlor*

Employee: what type of ice cream would you like?

Me: I'll have the Vanillux you have been hiding
