    I'm not really into Pokemon, but if someone told me this was actually a very expensive prank, a Ryan Reynolds practical joke, I would 100% believe them. I thought he was an odd choice for Pikachu's voice but this... I don't even know how to react. The CG Pokemon do look better than I expected, though.

      There's a game that came out earlier this year (In US,UK & AU) called Detective Pikachu. Its more in line with that game than the original show. He's got an odd voice in the video game as well....

        Ah yes, the infamous manly voice of Detective Pikachu! Ryan Reynold's chipper voice is in a strange way more fitting to Pikachu's body than the game's voice actor, Kaiji Tang.

      I hope this is one of these cases where it's so ridiculous it strangely works. Tangentially related, but “Justice Smith” is one of the most badass names I've ever heard. I hope he won't disappoint.

    I actually love this. I've been wanting big budget movies to get weirder for a while now, and this is perfect. I kind of wish Pikachu was Ryan Reynolds in a Wilfred-esque costume. But he looks so...

    I actually love this. I've been wanting big budget movies to get weirder for a while now, and this is perfect. I kind of wish Pikachu was Ryan Reynolds in a Wilfred-esque costume. But he looks so adorable, and this is coming from someone who's usually really wary of studio inserted "cute" characters in movies.

    This looks like buckets of fun. I'm not expecting high-art, but what a good time it will be. I love that they're going for a Pokemon-world, and not just our world with Pokemon shoved into it...

    I love that they're going for a Pokemon-world, and not just our world with Pokemon shoved into it somehow. The designs are true to the source material, as much as they can be, and with such an expressive face it doesn't feel too weird to hear Ryan Reynolds voice as Pikachu.

    Looks good tbh. Fun fact: in Brazilian Portuguese, “pika” is slang for penis. Makes for some silly jokes.

    I still think Danny Devito would've been much better as a Pikachu voice actor
