potential noises the pokémon in Detective Pikachu will make:

Best Outcome: they’ll just make their own animal noises (charizard roars like a dragon, the bird pokemon tweet and chirp, etc.)

Neutral Outcome: they say their names like in the anime (“bulbasaur bulbasaur”)

Cursed Outcome: they make the horrible dial up screaming like they do in the video games

accioharo:

According to MPAA guidelines, you are allowed to say fuck once in a PG-13 movie without risking an R-rating. Thus Pikachu COULD say fuck and the movie would still only be rated PG-13, a rating that millions of kids go see every year due to every superhero movie ever being rated PG-13 (except Deadpool of course). Therefore there is no excuse to not let Pikachu say fuck. In this essay I will…

Pros of Detective Pikachu: Manages to be really fun and entertaining, great Pokemon designs that integrate them into the real world surprisingly well, doesn’t try to be edgy or dark, feels like it takes place in the Pokemon universe and not just a transplanted take on “our” world with Pokemon, showing Pokemon from different Generations and some less popular Pokemon proving it’s not just a cash-grab for the moneymakers and Gen-Wunners.

Cons of Detective Pikachu: Gave me an extreme urge to cuddle what is basically Ryan Reynold’s fursona.

Metapod doesn’t move because it’s afraid of it’s organs spilling out

Palossand collects bodies and carries them everywhere it goes

Mewtwo is a failed lab experiment that hung out with a stillborn child (who then melted before his very eyes when he was just a kid)

Ditto is a melted mew (who in fact, is a cat fetus)

Drifloon will carry away children (never to be seen again)

Cacturne eats hikers who pass out from exhaustion

Drowzee sneaks into children’s rooms and eats their dreams
