About this project
Childhood was a much simpler time, when you didn’t have a care in the world and you could spend your days daydreaming at School about what it would be like to be a Pokémon Master. You could whip out your Gameboy Color™ on the way home and run around the Safari Zone trying to catch Chansey before that dreaded buzzer sounded. Then you could come home and catch up with Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu on TV. Pokémon was a such a unique story that captured the hearts and minds of children all over the world – millions of people either watching, playing or trading in the world of Pokémon. We were those kids, and we loved every minute of it. Oh how times have changed. Growing up, studying, working and generally being a responsible adult tend to get in the way of your childhood loves as you get older.
We want to take a trip down memory lane, re-imagine the Pokémon Universe – but in live action. We loved the original ‘Indigo League’ series, and with the backing of this project we would like to make a 30-minute fan-made, non-for-profit short film with some sweet acting, awesome Pokémon animations and of course some kick-ass Pokémon battles.
Risks and challenges
Of course, as this is a fan-made, non-for-profit film (just in case you didn’t see it earlier), there are licensing issues and risks to do with the intellectual property and image rights of Pokémon. We will be treating the film under the ‘Fair Use’ section of Copyright Law and we're pretty confident that as we are paying the film homage, and staying true to the original tone and values of Pokémon, that Nintendo won't be taking any action.
