Pikachu and Pysduck in Detective Pikachu
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Detective Pikachu may have been a great standalone film, but it was not the live-action Pokémon adaptation I’ve always wished to see. One of the most popular IPs in the world, any new Pokémon property has massive potential and usually becomes a commercial hit. Surprisingly, though, Detective Pikachu never got a sequel.
Detective Pikachu is mainly about Tim investigating his father’s accident with “Detective Pikachu” by his side. Why Detective Pikachu Ignored Most Things That Define Pokémon Detective Pikachu was based on the 2016 game As much as I enjoyed Detective Pikachu, I would have liked to see a more traditional Pokémon story with gym trainers and tournaments in live-action. However, that was never going to be Detective Pikachu. The Ryan Reynolds-led movie was loosely based on 2016’s Detective Pikachu game, which was quite different from usual Pokémon games.
Of course, a live-action Pokémon movie or even a show would have to make changes to the game’s structure, especially regarding the pacing. A movie cannot be about a trainer going from gym to gym and eventually fighting the region’s top trainer, which does not mean that a more traditional Pokémon story cannot work in live-action. A Pokémon film could combine classic Pokémon battles and challenges with an overarching story and recurring villains.
