A Live-Action Pokemon Movie Is Definitely Happening!

GIPHY

Brace yourselves! A live-action Pokemon movie is officially happening!

Since the launch of Pokemon Go, rumors of a live-action Pokemon movie have been floating around. Unfortunately, those rumors were debunked when it was reported that Nintendo and The Pokemon Company were focusing on the game rather than creating a new film. Our Poke-dreams were crushed, much like that time we almost caught that Zapdos and totally messed it up and our collection was forever incomplete.

According to recent reports, a live-action Pokemon movie is actually a lot closer to happening than we initially thought. It’s officially on the way! Production has been fast-tracked, and we can expect the movie sometime next year. Hoorah!

The Pokemon Company has partnered with Legendary Entertainment to make the flick, which will focus on Detective Pikachu. Detective Pikachu is a new character that was recently introduced in Japan in the 3DS game Great Detective Pikachu. He’s super cute, too! Presumably, the film will follow a talking, CGI Pikachu much like the game. There’s no official word on what mysteries they’re going to solve. Is Team Rocket up to something again?

Universal will distribute the flick in the rest of the world, while Toho will handle distribution in Japan. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the flick, but it’s Pokemon. It’s sure to be fun, cute and inspiring.

How excited are you!?
