Pokémon! It's decided that it's you!
Pokémon audition
Recently, the movie " Detective Pikachu " officially released a Chinese trailer for Pokémon audition, including Pokémon that had not appeared in the previous trailer.
film tells the story of the teenager Tim Goodman, played by Justice Smith, comes to Lyme in order to find his whereabouts and unexpectedly meets the detective Pikachu voiced by "Deadpool" Ryan Reynolds .
Tim found that he could understand what this Pikachu said, and that this Pikachu was also his father's former partner, so the two of them embarked on the road of finding their father.
During this period, they encountered many various Pokémon together and accidentally discovered a shocking conspiracy that was enough to destroy the entire Pokémon universe.
has been less than a month since the film was released, and the Chinese version of Pikachu's dubbing has also been confirmed as Lei Jiayin. Although both versions are the kind of "slutty" uncle sounds, the movie will always give you a different feeling.

What do you like about Pokémon?
"Detective Pikachu" is not only the dubbing of "Green Light Pickup" with a sense of déjà, but the most impressive thing is the realistic Pokémon inside.
Pikachu, Fat Ding , Keda Duck has obvious fluff, Miraculous Frog Seed , Little Fire Dragon , and Jenigni Turtle Yu also have reptile-like skin.
For such changes, you may feel uncomfortable when you first meet, and even feel a little "destroying" in your opinion. However, I believe that many Pokémon fans, like me, instantly accept this setting in the next second.
Maybe this is the theory of "once you accept this setting"
Of course, everyone's aesthetics are linked to their love and understanding of a certain work, and the aesthetics themselves are different. If you still feel that it is unacceptable, it is normal. After all, the smooth Pokémon image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for a long time.
And those who have adapted to the changes in Pokémon as quickly as I did, you can follow me to recall the mood you had when you first met "Pokemon" or "Pokemon" in childhood, if you can still remember it.

Although the "Pokemon" series was the first game, many people around the world, especially children, are exposed to animations first.
Although the degree of animation performance is significantly different from that of the game, in comparison, the special comics can better reflect the spiritual core of the "Pokemon" series at that time.
is more important than the theme of playing alliances with the protagonists and building bonds with Pokémon, the Pokémon used to pay more attention to the world view composed of the diversified Pokémon ecology.
Of course, the worldview of most works is gradually improving step by step. There are always books in "World of Warcraft" and "Harry Potter". It is natural that Pokémon has changed invisibly. Changes like
have also left behind countless settings called "black history". I won't talk about the old topics. Our topic today is Pokémon itself.
The first generation of 151 Pokémon dolls
The images of Pokémon are also in a change with the replacement of versions. The process I have summarized is a process from "wildness" to "anthropomorphism".
Especially when the new Yusan family of "Pokemon: Sword/Shield" comes out, you may find it difficult to accept that this is "Pokemon", although they basically conform to the public's aesthetic of "cute" in all aspects.
sound-knocking monkey, flame rabbit and tear-eyed lizard. The final vote on Twitter showed that the tear-eyed lizard is the most popular one. Although I can’t explain why, I just feel that I feel "pleasant" when I look at the tear-eyed lizard. Why is this?
New Yu Sanjia
Before, I talked about a change in the image of Pokémon. Whether it is the change of the version change of the same generation of Yu Sanjia with the replacement of the version, or the changes of each generation of Yu Sanjia compared the changes of the previous generation, they tend to be a kind of "anthropomorphism". The most obvious manifestation brought by this change of
is that it is "becoming more and more round". It may not be easy for you to understand, so please observe the following picture carefully.
GEN1Yu Sanjia and GEN8Yu Sanjia
Of course, although the wonderful frog seed, the little fire dragon and the Jenitor were also different from the image at that time, most of the features were preserved, so it did not affect the final result of the comparison.
You can see the head and body ratio of the first generation Yusanjia, which is obviously larger than the head, while the eighth generation Yusanjia is in the opposite direction, which is closer to the cash-popular Q-version big-headed doll style.
"becoming rounder" is mainly reflected in the eyes. The first generation's clear eyes are compared with the eighth generation's round eyes, and the obvious claws and teeth are full of wild animals.
, while Eighth Generation is more like a domestic pet or "mascot", which is why many people think Eighth Generation gives people a sense of copycat, because Eighth Generation is no longer so "Pokemon", and in comparison, the Tears-Eyed Lizard looks more like a wild animal.
Because it follows the design concept of the first generation, almost no one thinks there is anything inconsistent with the second generation of Yusanjia
Let us go back to the state when you first saw Pokémon and look at the Pokémon animation. You will find that the animation actually reflects the Pokémon people living in the wild and coexisting with nature.
And humans play more in this world in the study of Pokémon habits, rather than keeping them at home like pets or as tools for battle.
There are too many unknowns for humans. Where did Pokémon come from? When did it start to coexist with humans? How many unknown Pokémons have not been discovered? What is the same state between Pokémon and Nature?
The entire work starts with this magical creature, and unfolds a series of worldview settings, which is where Pokémon really attracts us.
If you use a simpler example to explain it, the initial view of "Pokemon: Unmarked" is actually very similar to watching "Animal World" or "Man and Nature" from the Science and Education Channel. Think about whether you have this feeling.
"Pokemon: The Sealless Chapter"
The Sealless Chapter almost perfectly interprets "art originates from reality and is higher than reality". With just the first few episodes, you can almost explain the kind of favorable feeling for Pokemon.
Evergreen Forest and Settings Pokémon that first appeared were Bobo and green caterpillar , which can give the audience, especially children a sense of reality, because there are creatures similar to sparrows and caterpillars in the forest, which is really normal for us.
Bobo first met
If you look closely, Bobo is eating an ordinary bug, a real animal, and has appeared in early animations many times. I think its role is to deepen the audience's sense of reality for this world.
The same situation also occurred when I first met Bibibi . Bibibi was also eating a small insect, and the description of the picture book was "using sharp claws as weapons and catching small animals as food." Although
is translated in Chinese, the word "little animal" also appears in the original Japanese text
and then to Xiaozhi attempted to use the newly conquered green caterpillars to fight Bibi Bibi. Xiaoxia and Pikachu expressed surprise at the same time, but later "reverse attribute" became Xiaozhi's signature playing method. I don't know if it started from here.
animation does not directly explain the weaknesses and attributes in the game, but uses something closer to reality, "Bibi is a bird, and green caterpillars are insects. Do you have no common sense of birds eating insects?"
So, the next second the green caterpillar was chased by Bibi Bibi and ran all over the street. Note that Xiaoxia's word for explaining this relationship is "Birds eat insects". This is a predation relationship in our real world, and it appears in the animation again.
The green caterpillar was chased by Bibi birds and ran all over the streets
is similar to a species of reality, a predation relationship similar to a similar fusion of real world elements, making this Pokémon world look so real and reasonable.
As the ruler of the earth, humans are undoubtedly lonely. Scientists continue to study animals for this purpose, eager to unravel the secrets of animal languages, and one day they can truly understand the emotions of animals.
The Pokémon series is making a big deal on this point, setting Pokémon with realistic prototypes very "human nature" and even having advanced wisdom.
When Xiaozhi first met Pikachu, although Pikachu did not have many "anthropomorphic characteristics" as he is now, Pikachu did look more like an electric mouse at that time, but he had a very high IQ.
Pikachu's changes
Pikachu can communicate with Ash in human body language and understand human language. On the contrary, humans can only try to understand Pokémon. Pikachu can even use Ash's picture book to tell him that "there are some Pokémons who don't like to score Pokémon."
Pikachu
Under this worldview, the language also exists between Pokémon, but humans cannot understand it for the time being, and try to understand it and stop.
The communication between Pikachu and the green caterpillar is not only a foreshadowing, but also a subtle way of conveying the charm of this magical creature to the audience. This section has also become a classic scene in the mouths of fans later.
probably tells Pikachu that if you want to evolve (to become a slit seat), you will not be hated by Xiaoxia
Return to the true nature
The reason why the Pokémon, which was once so popular all over the world is not only because of its image itself, but the real ecological sense of combining reality brought by the work.
The green caterpillar will become the food of Bibi birds, have a shorter evolutionary cycle than other Pokémons, and will become an iron armored pupa, and eventually break out of the shell and become a butterfly soaring in the sky.
Later, I went to find a spouse, migrate, and reproduce the next generation. This cycle was the life of this Pokémon, which belonged to the life of nature.
This is also the reason why Xiaozhi released the Bada Butterfly
If the above is the part where Pokémon originates from life, then the part higher than life is the bond between people and Pokémon that the animation has always reflected.
is given the Pokémon "human nature", able to understand our language, be able to think like us, and be able to respond accordingly.
makes us feel that in that world, human beings are not alone, but these are things we desire but cannot. If the "master" in our family can understand how good it would be.
Let's go back to the original topic, why is the Pokémon in "Detective Pikachu" so realistically accepted by fans.
The reason is very simple. The movie creates a world where people coexist with Pokémon. Only under the performance of the movie today, Pokémon show the image that can truly appear in real life.
You may have had countless fantasies, and Pikachu appeared by his side, but if it was an animation image, it would always feel out of place with the environment.
"Detective Pikachu" actually cracked this case that has been buried in your heart for many years. Pikachu is an electric mouse with fluff, and a flame-breathing dragon is a big lizard that can spit fire and fly, but Da Duck... Well, it's a platypus.
Pikachu, Miaofrog Seed and Fat Ding
Realization This "return to the truth" setting once again makes us feel the freshness and yearning brought to us by the initial world and Pokémon.
Under the movie, Pokémons can show more realistic and natural body language than animation, and their facial expressions and emotions appear more vivid and natural.
It is precisely because of the deepening of the two points of "original life" and "higher than life" that "Detective Pikachu" has such a "Pokemon" feeling, right?
