According to a recent Variety report, Netflix is working on a live-action Pokémon series. Variety's sources say that this new series will be similar to the Detective Pikachu live-action movie. Not much details are available about the plot since the project is said to be in its early days. However, the report mentions that the co-showrunner and executive producer on the Netflix series Lucifer, Joe Henderson, will be the writer and executive producer for the show.

However, Variety does not name its sources, so take this news with a grain of salt.

I wonder if they'll make Ash gay

With the amount of female friends he had in his journey he probably is lol. Don't get me wrong tho 90's Ash hit puberty based on how he roasted Misty so much. Thats why they had to tone him down in this era for kids.

What I would give to see someone manage to swap out the eventual version of this with one of the porn parodies.

Here we go again with Netflix destroying another franchise.

The twist is it will have no cg and the cast will just be woke people in fursuits that 'identify' as pokemon.

Wasn’t the LoZ and Star Fox Netflix series cancelled due to leaks?

That's why they're leaking this so we don't get such an abomination.

I really hate the way PokeCo is taking THE WORST out of the west instead of the good... or less bad, at least.

ow now, why telling us?
Remember what happened with Zelda live action series?
Nintendo cancelled it because someone leaked it
Will they do the same with this? :'(

 

[WG481]

I would like to see how they pull it off. It’s definitely a bargain with Live Actions having a history of being sub-par. (Detective Pikachu was sick tho)

I wonder if they'll make Ash gay

The relationship they teased between Ash and Serena was pretty big (for a kids show ofc). I highly doubt TPC would greenlight that just because, well, Nintendo.

FINALLY!!!!! I’ve been waiting and asking for decades upon decades. I hope this is just as good as the Super Mario Bros movie. This is going to so nice and great!

 

[Lumince]

Oh god please get canceled

 

[MaxToTheMax]

Wow. :/

 

[eyeliner]

More trash. Bring back Altered Carbon, you damned idiots.

How long until this gets shelved like the Zelda and Mario series?

Detective Pikachu animation...???

It specifically says live-action. That means it's acted out IRL. Not an animation.. At least read the title..

Pretty sure he was asking whether the quality of the CGI will match that of Detective Pikachu (which was also live-action). My answer is probably not, but the safe answer is that we don't know yet.

Here we go again with Netflix destroying another franchise.

Gamefreak beat 'em to it.

Is this rumor gunna have an oled screen

Detective Pikachu animation...???

This would be best, although I expect the renders to look cheaper due to time constraints.

I don't know if this will work. Detective Pikachu is great, but I don't wanna see Ash in real life.
