Wait. Do all the Pokémon speak English in this one?

Of course. What other language would they speak?

That part isn't adequately explained. A little bit of hand-waving and extra thought on your own part and you get that

Spoiler: show

it's because there's a person inside of Pikachu, or maybe Mewtwo did something extra when he did his thing? Because Pikachu after the dad comes back (one guess who the dad is played by*) doesn't talk.

Which I guess means there's not going to be a DP2 anytime in the future?

Oh wait, Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and gloms onto successes to drive them into the ground. Also Legendary is known as the "we only care about making money with IP, not original filmmaking" studio.

*It's stated in the movie that the kid is 21, which seems a little old for the son but mathematically it works. I guess I'm just not ok with the idea of a person the same age as me having a kid old enough to drink? Seems irresponsible, dammit!

Who is the dad played by?

If you've read all of the spoilers you know who it is.

I haven’t.

OK then.

Ryan Reynolds turns out to be the father. They do a misdirect early in the movie by showing the kid's mom in a picture (she died) and she's black, so I guess good on DP for showing a mixed couple?

Didn't think Nintendo was that progressive; Yamauchi would have shut that shit down. (Side note: I spelled that right on the first try and haven't thought about him for at least a decade, if not more. He was a big part of Nintendo when I was a kid.

I know so little about Pokémon. My oldest watched the cartoon some when she was little but that’s it.

My wife and I played Pokemon Stadium on the N64 a lot and it had the ability to play the GB games on the TV, so one of us would play on the GB while the other would play on the TV. Didn't get past red/blue/yellow though. Tried to but the feeling of starting over was too strong to want to even start.

Except for N64, I don’t understand any of what you just wrote.

WAVE RACE 4EVR!!

And Goldeneye.

Yeah we played the hell out of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.

Did you guys play Mario Paint on SNES?

Do you mean played or do you mean threw a bunch of sounds into the thing and laughed at the cacophony? Because the latter was my experience. I wasn't creative then and it hasn't gotten any better.

I'd typically load the song templates that were already there and then make adjustments to make it all sound weird and off-key.

I was pretty good at the bug swat game though.

I never had a SNES.

Its kinda sad how George Romero went from Land Of The Dead, his big return to the zombie world to Survival Of The Dead, his final film. I kinda wish he stayed in Land...and never make another one.

Land was terrible, the Avocado of Romero movies

Land is fucking great, you shut your mouth Bart
