Ok, so im going to go out and just say it….. Im a 30 year old guy that loves Pokemon. I have more then 0 friends and i dont live in my parents basement.
There basically only one other guy on Steemit im sure loves Pokemon, but since hes a whale (@acidyo) people will probably think hes “sophisticated” or likes “retro” things. Meh, double standards.
Im not even a dolphin yet so ill get weird looks. No one fears dolphins. 🙁
Lol. But yeah. Pokemon were a big part of my childhood. At one point i think i had around 3000 Pokemon TCG cards. (To this day i think i can name all 151 Gen 1 Pokemon and i dont know all my cousins names)
Still have a few hundred laying around. I used to go on tournaments in the early 2000s, even won around $50 on one. Was out of my mind happy. (In 10 years ill probably remember that more then my wedding day)
Most of the cards i used i won in a game we used to play in school where we would throw the cards as far as we could and then all the cards that were thrown would be collected in a pile and placed on the hand of the person that threw his card the shortest distance. Then the person that threw the furthest would hit his hand and what ever card fell face up he would win as his. (fun game) lol
So yeah. Pokemon is basically my childhood so when i heard they were making a live action movie with Pokemon i was super excited. There was a trailer a few months ago that was decent enough. But the one that came a week ago just blew me away. I know this might not represent much to the folks that never cared much about Pokemon, but when i saw Mewtwo in the trailer majestically fly up on the screen i basically achieved Nirvana. (not to use a more vulgar analogy, whoops. lol)
As someone that loves movies and follows this industry, seeing that “Detective Pikachu” had some awesome stuff to show in its trailer made me extremely interested in the picture. I was already seeing multiple trilogies, a Pokemon cinematic universe growing from this. (Alright, maybe im being a bit unrealistic, lol.)
But theres something about seeing the shows that defined your childhood recreated in a proper manner that excites me and takes me back to that time.
I was a big DBZ, Pokemon, Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon fan (Yes! And fuck you for laughing. Sailor Jupiter FTW.)
They Screwed up DBZ with the crappy live action movie so i hope they wont repeat the same thing with “Detective Pikachu”.
Im going on forever. Just watch the trailer! Ryan Reynolds is voicing Pikachu and from what i can tell this wont be tailored completely to kids. There will be something for us big kids as well. lol
Ill see you around. Keep on Steem/Whalesharing!
Add your Scripsio!
