I'm surprised this hasn't been attempted already. The budget would probably be insane but considering how popular the franchise still is I would think Hollywood would have tried it already. In the hands of the right director and writer it could be big.

I was having this discussion with a friend the other day.
We assumed that Nintendo must have signed the rights to someone in Japan and so haven't been able to sell to Hollywood, but that was literally just a guess.

I figured it was something to do with the rights to it but I don't know any facts. |

I´m guessing the pokemon animated movies kind of it made it unnecessary. Other wise I bet they would have tried.

Pokemon are notoriously difficult to film. They always go way overboard wanting royalties for use of their images. It costs enough just to use cartoon drawings of them.

I can see a studio trying to cast Cedric the Entertainer as Professor Oak.
And it'd be awesome in its badness.
