The last film in the series, called the Return of Mecha Tyranitar, the player battles against a man named Serizawa (referencing the scientist in the original Godzilla film) with a new version of Mecha Tyranitar called MT2, featuring a black color scheme and is a Steel and Electric-type rather than pure Steel, which could be seen as a reference to the redesigned Mechagodzilla in later Godzilla movies.Ī Mecha Tyranitar also appeared in the Pokémon Black & White anime series in the episode “An Epic Defense Force,” which contains references to a number of kaiju movies. In Pokéstar Studios, a series of films called Big Monster (or Daikaiju in Japanese) can be played after the player has defeated the Champion. While not technically a Pokémon in a traditional sense, a Steel-type Pokémon-inspired robot known as Mecha Tyranitar (or MT for short) was introduced in Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2 via the Pokéstar Studios feature where players can make short movies. But what if I told you that generation eight is far from the first time, and is just the most obvious? Kaiju have likely been influencing Pokémon ever since the initial concept and I’m here to tell you how.
Prior to the release of Sword & Shield, I wrote about the biggest Pokémon featured in various anime, movies, and manga before Dynamax and Gigantamax. Between the Pokémon Company and Niantic both coming out in support of Black Lives Matter and donating a substantial amount of money, the announcement that 2019 was the Pokémon Company’s second-biggest year in terms of profit with a 14.8 percent increase, and the Isle of Armor expansion for Poké mon Sword & Poké mon Shield now available, this is no surprise.Ī feature introduced in the eighth generation of Pokémon games, known as Dynamax and Gigantamax, is the most recent aspect of the franchise to seemingly take inspiration from kaiju. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield have been consistently mentioned in video game-related news as of late.
