Plans for a live-action Pokémon film go as far back as 2012 when producers Cale Boyter, Mary Parent, and Ali Mendes all tried to convince The Pokémon Company to give it a shot, but the company wasn't interested at all. The producers would make monthly meetings with TPC executives to throw around any idea for a live-action Pokémon they could. At one point, Paramount expressed interest in working with the producers for the movie, but the talks fell through. It wasn't until the release of Pokémon GO, along with Parent joining Legendary Pictures as vice-chairman of worldwide production, that TPC felt warm to the idea, and even then, it was their call, not the producers', to adapt Detective Pikachu first before moving on to anything else.
