To you. Apparently this doesn’t matter to you at all. But as an actual director, Detective Pikachu looks weird.
If I don't like a dish, I won't ask for the opinion of an actual cook. I'll just say I didn't like it.

Nobody has to like your opinions if they aren't objective facts, which considering we are talking about our taste in character design, they aren't. Your area of study doesn't give your tastes more weight.

Okay maybe unpopular opinion time, I really do not like arvalis's designs (the ones on his DA). Like, the art itself is good, I get what he's going for, but half the time it's pretty much just a real animal spraypainted to look like a pokemon to me. I don't see the point if you're just gonna do that. See Giratina.
I have my apprehensions with the Detective Pikachu style, but it's definitely much more along the lines of what I want.

I actually do some small animation, Wrapping one up rn
And at your age that's really cool. Tools are more freely available these days, so take advantage and learn!

When I was 14 I was still trying to use DJ Music Maker 2001 to make a goddamn Bardock music video to Linkin Park's "In the End". And failing.

What. Is it you?
No, a friend.

But now that you ask: I follow courses in the "Game Studies and Cultural Analysis" program and followed a course about Transmedia Storytelling taught by someone from the film departement who was very much pro-keeping-to-the-source-material and several film students I know from that course were very relieved they didn't go with some weird "realistic" designs.

I'm not saying their opinion is worth more then yours, I'm saying opinions if Film-majors differ as much as opinions of others, so saying "I'm a film major" is no argument and you really haven't given any other reasoning behind your opinion

It looks like a new sword and shield trailer might be coming. There were ads of a shorter version of the first trailer on YouTube.

However the title was explore the expansive region not forge a path to greatness.

Explore the alola region was the title for the second sun and moon trailer.

What’s interesting is that the the original sword and shield ad has been removed. They posted an update one with the original title forge a path to greatness.

Makes me think they gave the ad the title of an upcoming video instead of what it was suppose to be.

It's about ****ing time. Sun and Moon went 3 months with zero information and we've gone about that time without knowing what the **** the legendaries are

I think the main thing here is just to not say anyone else's opinions are wrong just because they're not yours. It doesn't mean that your opinion is wrong. It just means that everyone is free to have their own opinion.

At least these games had the decency to show gameplay for their initial reveal. SuMo showed concept art, lol.

"Sonic movie isn't bad and Detective Pikachu is because I'm a film student"

Well personally I'm taking college courses on Digital Multimedia Design and I say the main difference in reception between the two films is design related and the Sonic movie took an aesthetically pleasing design and turned it full Uncanny Valley while the Detective Pikachu movie maintained the broad strokes of what makes Pikachu an appealing design and simply added a coat of detail.

But . . .really, why are we posturing in regards to college courses?

Did you miss the part where I said sonic wasn’t better? Or are you intentionally ignoring it?

Opinions are just like ***holes. Everybody has one.

Don't be discouraged. Keep learning, keep creating and you'll make something you really love.

That's the artist I was thinking of (I think). See the following:



So it doesn't look bad ... but why is Mr. Mime a frog? Why is Froslass an insect?

EDIT: Whoops lol forgot image functionality was AWOL

I probably did miss it somewhere because this topic cooks up a lot of arguing and that kind of shoots out my attention span.

Nobody likes anybody with a different one.
My opinions are like my hairstyle: Everyone's better than mine.

Because only way to make Pokemon "realistic" is making them like animals. Which doesn't work.

I wish less realistic Pokemon artist take inspiration from real animals for Pokemon who simply aren't animals.

So you want to hold the film industry hostage and force it to only do exactly what you want or people can’t feed their families.

Okay. Fair.


Lots of my fellow film students also hold this opinion. They just aren’t here.
Hey, so uhm, film student here.
I think Detective Pikachu is great and the Sonic movie looks like **** outside of Jim Carrey as himself.
If my opinion isn't enough I can ask my friends too what they think later today if you want.
