I used to think that Jonathan Taylor Thomas would be the perfect Ash. Dunno why I thought that. Oh well, he's too old now.

What actors do you think could play Pokemon characters?

PS, this includes manga characters as well as anime characters, which is why I put it here. Also, there is not going to be a celebrityful live action version of Pokemon, just in case someone thinks the title of this topic is misleading.
 
I find it hard to think of younger actors to play the main anime characters, except maybe for Emma Watson for May.

Steve Martin would make the perfect Professor Oak.
 
Actually, Robin Williams would be slated to play Oak, should there ever be a live action movie.
 
Actually I would like to see Liam Neeson as Giovanni. He looked just like him in Schindler's list, and even sounded just like him at some points in the movie.

I'll always remember Schindler(Neeson) sitting and talking to Amon Goeth(Ralph Fiennes) about his Jewish workers that had been transferred to Goeth's concentration camp. Schindler shouts, " They're MINE!!!!"

And I thought ZOMG Giovanni's in my movie there. xD

I've also always thought that Brendan Fraser would make a good Tracey Sketchit after watching his performance in Bedazzled. Yeah...Brendan Fraser would make a great Tracey Sketchit.
 
He's...slightly too old though. :-p He could be a gym leader or something.
 
I think Johnny Depp would make a yummy James--He's got that great bad-boy look about him and can easily get away with playing a character half as old as he is.
 
ooooh I wanna play this game --so here's my opinion:

Oak = Sean Connery
Mrs. Ketchum = Elizabeth Perkins
Jessie = Angelina Jolie
James = Brad Pitt
Meowth = Cyndi Lauper or Jack Black (either could work for me)

(Goin' a little older on the twerps here but --)
Ash = Elijah Wood
May = Kristin Kruek
Max = Dakota Fanning (flame away)
Brock = Aamir Khan (google it)
Misty = Kisten Dunst
 
Those are good ones, Maddie!! ^^


Personally, I've always thought Keanu Reeves (Neo from The Matrix) would be the perfect person to play Ash. XD

He's got the right color hair, the right kinda personality (brave, confident, and determined). However, again, we have a problem with him being too old.


It would probably be more appropriate for Keanu to play Sir Aaron, in a live action version of the 8th movie. That would actually work out great, I think. ^_^
 
Dakota Phamming(however you say it) as Misty.

Johnny Depp as Harley

Thats all i can think of...

He would be computer-animated! You could do his voice!

Anyway, I think I should play as Ash. I've got the voice, the attitude, the slight arrogantness, the determination, and the love for Pikachu!

oooooh can I be like Andy Serkis (Gollum in LOTR) and wear a secial SFX suit so I can do Meowth's acting? That would be a dream come true!
 
lol. That would be PWNsome Maddie.

Id say, Freddie Highmore (Charlie from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Ash. He has that Naivety about him.

For those saying about Jonny Depp, I can only imagine him (if anyone) as Tate.
 
Maddie, you can have the suit! Lets get working. After we write the script, we meet in New York next June. I'm seriously not kidding. I want this movie made!

In a world where trainers are encouraged to train mythical creatures called Pokémon...

One boy will be called, to go on a daring mission - to save Houou, the rarest of all the Pokémon!

While training for the Pokémon League tournament, Ash (Me) and Pikachu (Rachael Lillis) decide to head to Viradian City for a Pokémon tournament. When they get there, they find that the tournament is postponed. Someone stole the ancient medallion of Houou. After learning about who Houou actually is, Ash is determined to get the medallion back! He, Misty (Rachel Pruitt), and Meowth (Maddie Blaustein) go on an adventure through the lost region of Tohjo, and end up saving the world from the ultimate evil - Team Rocket. Team Rocket, after stealing the medallion, became filled with evil desire to take over Tohjo. Meowth, unaffected by the medallion's evil side, sides with Ash and Misty, and of course Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, to save the world!

I know this messes up some continuity issues.

Ash learns about Houou in Ecruteak - They lose their memories at the end.

Charmander should've evolved into Charizard by now - Mew is prominent in the movie, and uses Devolution Beam on Charizard a couple times. By the end of the movie, Charmander will have evolved straight into Charizard again.

But Charmander doesn't like Ash! - Charizard always loved Ash, and while Ash is in a time of need like this, he will do whatever it takes to help Ash!

What do you guys think?
 
So far we've got Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp for James. This can only mean one thing...James is obvioulsly HOT! Speaking of hot, how about Orlando Bloom as Falkner?
Also, Ziyi Zhang would make a perfect Erica.
