If you are from the 80s or 90s, you will surely remember with nostalgia all those afternoons of your childhood watching episodes of Pokémon. Many of us saw in the mythical Japanese franchise much more than an animated series, and all of those of us who already had an overdeveloped geek vein even considered the first choice dilemma Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander or Pikachu? Who would you choose to start your Pokémon adventure?
Over time the generations became bigger and bigger, just like us, and many of us left the figurines, letters, mugs, albums, games and VHS abandoned in the trunk of memories. If you are one of those who every time you open that box you can't help but put on something melancholic when remembering all those chapters seen with Nocilla sandwiches, you're in luck: It seems that The Pokémon Co. is interested in Hollywood producing a live-action feature film based on the series that made the famous motto in schoolyards fashionable: "Get all" .
Best of all, the big companies Warner Bros, Legendary Pictures and Sony are fighting over get hold of all the rights to produce such a blockbuster, which would undoubtedly be a box office success. Warner seems to be gaining quite an advantage, since it was the distributor in the US of the animated Pokémon movies that came out so many years ago.
At the moment not much more is known, although soon we will know who has won the award of being able to produce a film that will surely be seen by millions of nostalgic people, either very good or, on the contrary, as bad as that happy adaptation of Dragon Ball: ' Dragon Ball Evolution '. Curiosity is above all ... Although being honest I can't imagine Ash Kechum from Pueblo Paleta, Misty or Brock played by actors casting pokeballs through the forest or facing their creatures in mythical tournaments. The adaptation, which we hope refers to the first generation, puts expectations through the roof. Will Pikachu have a hyper-realistic touch or will the image of the quintessential mascot of the franchise remain? Will we see Team Rocket?
