Mexican actor Omar Chaparro is convinced that “Pokémon Detective Pikachu,” which opens Friday, will surprise everyone. DetectivePikachu
Movies based on video games often get a bad rap — they can be exciting for fans but disappointing for everyone else.
For those who have never played, the idea is simple. Players acting as trainers catch these fun little creatures by throwing a metallic ball at them. Once caught, they can be trained and released to battle other Pokémon. The goal is to become a master by catching and defeating all of your opponents. Similarly, the live-action film relies on a father-son relationship to drive the story. Tim Goodman, played by actor Justice Smith, is a small-town insurance agent who travels to Ryme City after his estranged father disappears. He soon teams up with an over-caffeinated Pikachu, voiced by Ryan Reynolds, and they set out on a quest to unravel the mystery.
