Oh geez, I just looked on wiki and that is her name in the movie. Wonder if she'll at least have a few Japanese lines or at least speak with the accent of a Japanese person speaking English.

That would be weird since she looks so obviously non-Asian
Unless they gonna pull a her parents were foreigners, grew up in Japan, then learned English to have a Japanese accent

Isn't she a robot / cyborg? Just say whoever created her wanted a white woman.

She is an augmented-cybernetic human. Think Deus Ex.

That has me wanting to see a live action Aeon Flux series on hbo / cinemax / starz. The movie was a disgrace except for Charlize's sexy self.
Came across this from the Hollywood reporter. Not quite comics but I guess it'd fit
Pokemon movie rights bidding war heating up at big studios
A top-secret auction for film rights to the Pokemon franchise is nearing completion with Thomas Tull’s Legendary Entertainment attempting to nudge aside Warner Bros., which has pursued the property aggressively, according to sources. Sony also is said to be very interested.
A spokesperson for Legendary, which since January is a division of China's Dalian Wanda Group, said there is no offer on the table. But the notion of a Chinese-owned company acquiring a beloved Japanese property could raise a stir given historic tensions between the two countries.
The Pokemon Co., the Japanese outfit that manages the rights to the franchise spun from the hit Nintendo game, has been courting Hollywood to launch a big-budget live-action movie. Warner Bros. was among the early favorites to take the task on considering it already released the animated Pokemon: The First Movie in 1999 (it grossed $165 million worldwide) and two low-budget sequels. However, Legendary has now emerged as a potential victor to bring Pikachu and other Pokemon characters to theaters, according to a source.

Imagine it with better CGI and better looking models

Pokemon is a little different in the sense that it's not a hugely Asian premise. the idea is universal unlike something like akira or GITS.
I know your joking and all but imagine Christoph Waltz as professor Oak. Now that would be amazing casting
