Looks like there may be a live-action Pokemon movie in the works. Via Serebii:
"Variety and Hollywood Reporter are reporting that the movie studio, Legendary Pictures, has won the rights to make a live action Pokémon movie and will begin in 2017 with a movie based on Detective Pikachu, the Nintendo 3DS game that was released earlier this year in Japan. The movie will be distributed by Toho in Japan and Universal outside of Japan."
I'm not sure how I feel about this, honestly.

I am expecting the same level of quality you see in Live Action Anime movies... so basically, expecting it to be terrible

Part of me is interested in seeing the end result. Plus, it isn't like they're remaking an animated masterpiece like Mewtwo Strikes Back (which I'm pretty certain would be bad).
However, the other part of me has seen the end result of what happens when anime, cartoons, video game franchises, etc. get translated into live action; not all of them are bad, but many of them range from meh to just plain terrible. ...I was foolish enough to go into The Last Airbender and expect something decent.

I wonder how closely it'll follow the plot of the game...
And kinda crucially, what language is it going to be filmed in? I'm assuming English (probably filmed in New York or similar), and that the Japanese release is going to be subtitled, but is there any official confirmation?
Hopefully they reveal more than Pokemon this time, the last few news reveals have been very Pokemon focused and we don't really know a whole lot about anything else.
Well the only things they can really reveal without spoiling too much would be pokemon, megas, gym/league characters, any side features like "dexnav," "safari," "contest," and the villian group name. If they reveal too much it doesn't leave much for the player to discover themselves, but some things like megas and rivals should atleast be hinted at.

That is a lot of possible reveals though, they can easily stretch that over the next 4 months.
I think the pokemon themselves are the only real spoiler in a Pokemon game. God knows we don't trudge through these things for the stories.
I just hope they ditch mega evolution (and ideally convert all back mega evolutions into normal evolutions). It still feels like a patchwork update to old pokemon in pursuit of a bullet point, rather than convenience. Just add new evolutions to old pokemon like Diamond and Pearl did. That's part of what made that game so fun.
I agree with @Haru17 that they should return to normal evolutions for old Pokemon as that's what I also liked about D/P. (Make evolutions great again?) However I'm pretty sure they are committed to sticking to 3-stage evolutions only with Megas as an extra temporary 4th. Doubt we're gonna see Megas converted to normal.
Which is still the biggest mystery that I hope they reveal or hint at soon — do Megas still exist or will they be replaced by some new gimmick? I personally cant tell if it will be the former or latter, and if the latter is true then if it will be Synchro or not. We need answers...
I don't think they'll scrap Megas, it's too big a mechanic to scrap. It's possible they could retcon them into something else, but I doubt they'll flat out get rid of them. I would like to see a better balance of cross gen evolutions and Megas though.
I can't really think of much from 6th gen that they could get away with scrapping, it's been pretty lacking in terms of features anyway. Maybe PR videos, Contests, and Secret Bases and that's about it.
Every Gen I expect them to change all Eevee evolutions to stones. It is weird that Eevee started out as the Stone Evolution Pokemon, but most of its evolutions have nothing to do with Stones.
