This video has been circulating for the past couple of days, and it seems to show 30 seconds or so of bootlegged footage of a live-action Pokemon movie. Now, I’m not a Pokemon fan in any way, so I like to think that I can offer an objective point of view on what we’re seeing here. It’s fake. Totally fake. Take a look at those special effects and tell me they aren’t just a little too cartoony for this to be real. Take a look at the quality of the image. Even though it’s being taped on a handheld camera or a cell phone, you can still tell that the “film” being shown was shot on video, and probably not even Hollywood calibre. “But wait!” I hear you Poke-fans cry, “This was obviously shot at some kind of screening!” Well, uh, no. That’s intentional fakery. Trust me on this.
