#pokemon: secrets of the jungle

[geeky92]

I just finished watching Pokémon: Secrets of the Jungle, and I never thought that it would get me to care about Zarude that much! 😭

[jadeazora]

So, a whole bunch of movie/anime art leaks: Armored Mewtwo and Dada Zarude!

The Rotom Dex (could have probably gone in the Alola pile, but Ash and the other XY kids were there 😅

Concept art for MSBE, going by the 3D look for James/Misty/Ash.

Hoopa's bottle and Unbound form.

A bunch of Zygarde sheets. Special mention to Zygarde dragging people around by putting a leash on them.

Sir Aaron and the soldiers from the Lucario movie!

The princess from the Volcanion movie. Always liked her outfit, so cool to get a better look at it.

Carlita from the Victini movie (she had the Hydreigon.)

Pokemon The Power of Us concept art! Gorgeous!

he's a human, he's a pokemon, but he's also his father's son

Meanwhile with Team Rocket

if i had a nickel for every time a child was adopted and raised by wild pokemon i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? [ How to Grieve in Nowhere County ] is near and dear to my heart. i feel like it's the best justice i could give kumatora as a character, after everything mother 3's writing left to be desired with her. it's also pretty personal - i was not-so-secretly pouring a lot of love for my own mom into this fic. the low numbers are fair and expected. 'cause for one it's a niche AU character study about a female character. and for two, nowhere county is definitely the densest my writing has gotten. it ain't a light read. the prose is jungly as hell & probably often hard to parse (intended to drive home kuma's tangled mess of grief, confusion, and dark thoughts. and the delirious resurfacing of lucas' trauma by extension. and the general funk & fog of being a teenager going through Some Heavy Shit!!). bigly one of those "i wrote this for me, but you can read it if you'd like" kinda fics. this one was cooking in my head since like early 2021. when i finally got around to writing it this spring, it was a really cathartic process, and i was beyond satisfied with the end result. peace and love on planet bear tiger.

Just finished watching Pokemon: Secrets of the Jungle. How is this a Pokemon movie

It's really good?? And it's a POKEMON MOVIE???

The problem isn't that it's the franchise, like ew, a Pokemon movie??? No, the thing is, usually they're just. Cookie-cutter movies with plots that blend into each other that were obviously made for a "quick" cash-grab.

It's not the case here.

This was the most unhinged, off-the-shits Pokemon movie ever released. It was amazing.

Go watch it if you haven't. If you have, go watch it again. Please. For Dada

Decided to do this poll all over again, since I forgot to include Secrets of the Jungle in there last time.

[jadeazora]

Just sitting here, wishing they'd bring back the Pokemon movies. We only ever got the Zarude movie in Gen8 on account of the pandemic and that's definitely completely understandable, but I miss the movies, and the more detailed animations, the more stunning settings, and the occasional look at a new Pokemon they had.

(I wonder tho, if we got a new movie, if they would use the AU Ash like we'd gotten for the Gen7 movies/Zarude film, or, now that they've retired Ash from the main anime, if we'd get a Horizons movie instead?)

Also, special mention to these posters, they go hard even tho I dislike their movies (and one from the ok Arceus movie, but I could only find it in low-quality 😭):

Ash talks about his dad exactly (1) time and it's too someone who can't understand him.

Team Rocket and Cramorant shenanigans

Conspiracy???

I can't be the only one who thinks these two look alike..Koko from Secrets of the Jungle and Mairin from XY....maybe they are distant cousins or something....
