Looks like the effects are complete / being completed, so they have more detailed Pokémon shots to show off:

Some of the models are still a little bit creepy to me but the animation and the way they move is so good that I don't mind. Some, like Pangoro, just look so good.

I gotta wonder if the entire soundtrack for this movie will be licensed songs or if it's just for the marketing. I just wanna know if there's gonna be a full remix of the first anime theme like was briefly teased in an earlier trailer.

But yeah they're looking pretty cute now and I'm glad we got a heartwarming trailer and not another one all about the jokey jokes

I am still in disbelief that this film is actually a thing and happening, let alone that it actually looks very fun and dare I say..possibly ok?

Omg this movie is so cute.

I would honestly think they could have done a lot better than this. They just dont look like a pokemon
I think they all look great for the most part. They definitely have a style, but they all totally look like their respective species to me. There's a few I'd do differently perhaps but that's not a deal breaker.

I don't think bug Pokémon would necessarily be gross, it's not like they're strictly adhering to biology. The only horrifying thing would probably be Pinsir's mouth hole

I'd be shocked if we don't see any during the forest excursion

Jolticks are ticks

despite the fact it evolves into a tarantula

MORE BUG BROS PLS. how can they not have Scyther or Scizor? they're the most bad ass bugs. or Volcarona? there are plenty of bugs that won't look gross
Volcarona would be terrifying in this style. Scizor or Scyther could be okay but I think the texture and color would make them very creepy.

Joltik is an arachnid not an insect and one of the few bug types made to be cute, it's pretty much a fluffball.
I know, but I'm not GameFreak =P
Tbf I don't buy this "they would be too creepy" argument for two reasons. One, they made fucking Mr. Mime work. Caterpie, Ledyba, Ribombee, Kricketot, Yamna, Forretress, Nincada, Surskit, etc would not look creepier or grosser than that. Two, bigger bugs like Heracross or Scyther would be super badass looking and as menacing as Pangoro or Torterra without having to look gross at all.

May is going to be a wild ride with all those movies. Pikachu, John Wick, Godzilla!!! Maybe even Aladdin is worth a watch.

Caterpillars can already be kinda cute in the real world

just give it Caterpie's bulbous mouth/nose and antenna and remove the dirt and it's basically spot-on and not really that scary unless you're Misty

The later gen pokemon such as Morelul, Braviary, Pancham, and Pangoro look much better than the Gen 1 and 2 pokemon for some reason

The movie is complete, it has already premiered in China.

And I've loved everything they've shown of this. It's my second most anticipated movie of the year at this point.

Talking about Caterpie. I'm worried we haven't seen it yet. It's so cute, it needs a moment in the movie.
