welcome to watchmojo.com on detective
Pikachu Harry faked his own death or

we begin we publish new content every

this list we’re talking about what we
hope made it into the live-action
Pokemon film Harry fake somebody else’s
dead that last one doesn’t work yo Oh
what’s that the Pokemon franchise has
produced an astounding 21 movies and
Counting in every film at least one
legendary creature makes an appearance
whether the mythical Pokemon are
fighting the heroes or a more powerful
threat these rare creatures know how to
make memorable entrances on the big
screen while we may have already seen
you two in the latest trailer that
hasn’t stopped us from wanting more but
if including too many of them is too
distracting from the main plot the
filmmakers can at least show us a shiny
pokemon as a consolation prize and check
out the different collars cool and
feared never seen one before
detective Pikachu doesn’t feel like any
other Pokemon tale we’ve gotten before
and no that’s not just because of the
realistic and occasionally creepy
Pokemon designs instead of following an
unsupervised ten-year-old battling his
way to the top detective Pikachu will
focus on a 21 year old named Tim and his
search for his missing father his quest
will take place in a city where humans
and pokémon lives side by side between
its urban setting and serious plot line
the movie already feels more grounded
than the typical Pokemon journey so
you’re talking Pikachu with no memories
is addicted to caffeine I could stop it
whenever I want
detective Pikachu’s realistic approach
promises a new perspective on a world
that we’ve grown so familiar with okay
that’s it no we’re switching roles I’m
bad cop
you’re good cop in my head I saw that
differently number eight seeing
evolution
after fighting dozens of battles finding
the right stone or in one case turning
your Nintendo 3ds upside down your
Pokemon was ready to evolve into a new
form in the original games
evolution was accompanied by dramatic
music and fast-paced visuals that built
to a triumphant finish the anime took
evolution one step further by adding a
blinding light to the process years
later mega evolutions brought a
[Music]
when its high production value and
realistically animated Pokemon evolution
would look incredible in Detective
Pikachu’s world the second trailer does
show what appears to be an Eevee
evolving into a flurry on
so fingers crossed we get to see the
whole thing unfold number seven sword
[Music]
as of 2019
there are over 800 unique creatures to
discover and with the upcoming release
of Pokemon sword and shield who knows
how many more await us so why not kick
off this new generation by having one of
its newest members appear in the
live-action movie the timing could not
be more perfect as debuting a new
pokemon would amaze fans and build up
hype for the new games and let’s be
honest who wouldn’t want to see GRU key
scorer Bunny and Saba land
hyper-realistic forum number 6 a Danny
DeVito cameo during his long career
actor Danny DeVito has played many
strange roles but the internet really
wants him to add Pikachu to his resume
after a Japanese detective Pikachu
trailer showed us a talking Pikachu with
a deep voice an online campaign was
launched for DeVito to become the
English voice of the electric gumshoe
despite accumulating over 50,000
signatures the petition failed to get
him a job offer to make matters worse
DeVito claimed he’d never heard of
Pokemon what am I gonna carry that
burden around even with these setbacks
the internet still wanted him for
detective Pikachu
although Ryan Reynolds is playing
Pikachu the filmmakers could delight
DeVito’s loyal fans by giving him a
I think the snail is too depraved even
from me number 5 an abundance of Easter
eggs before the movie dropped in
theaters fans found a ton of Easter eggs
and promotional material on the main
poster fans found references to several
Pokemon and series locations in the main
trailer Tim’s room contains several
references to legendary Pokemon and
battling we also see him wearing a shirt
with an unknown Pokemon symbol and did
you catch the Jigglypuff in a coffee
shop holding the same marker as its
[Music]
at this rate the movie might contain
more Easter eggs than Pokemon it’ll be
up to fans to catch them all number four
anime and game character cameos hereby
declare to the Pokemon of the world
Ash Ketchum has appeared in nearly every
Pokemon animated series and movie to
date but his constant presence is what
convinced director rob letterman and the
Pokemon company to use a different main
character however that doesn’t mean that
Ash can’t make a cameo or get a
shout-out I promise you’re gonna be fine
if the studio is dead set against using
the eternally young protagonist there
are plenty of characters from the anime
and games that could show up instead
while it’s nice to see the Pokemon
universe branching out to new characters
it would be great to see the movie
recognize some familiar faces you’re
gonna like the kind of person I’ve grown
into awesome number 3 Team Rocket to
protect the world from devastation to
unite all peoples within our nation
[Music]
to extend our reach to the stars above
one of the biggest mysteries about
detective Pikachu is the identity of the
villain while we’d be fine with an
original baddie
we hope there’s room for the sinister
Team Rocket the gang of Pokemon thieves
have been a thorn in our side since 1996
although most of them are faceless
grunts the bumbling james jessie health
and their competent leader Giovanni have
all become crowd favorites we’ve brought
you a rare and valuable Pokemon fans
have speculated that an R on a dumpster
in the detective Pikachu poster may be a
hint of the classic team though
also likely a reference to our super
drug from the detective Pikachu 3ds game
nevertheless we’d still like to hear
that classic Team Rocket motto surrender
now or prepare to fight
[Music]
number two epic Pokemon battles Pokemon
battles are the cornerstone of the
franchise gamers have spent countless
hours assembling the perfect team to
overcome their opponents in the anime
these battles of strategy and skill were
made even better with exciting animation
and fantastic choreography there were so
many epic battles in both the games and
animated series that WatchMojo was able
to make three separate lists about it
together Charizard and Blastoise are
locked in close-range hand-to-hand
combat it would be a shame if detective
Pikachu didn’t include a few amazing
clashes of its own if the Charizard
versus Pikachu showdown from the trailer
is any indication the movie may produce
a battle that rivals the best bouts in
before we capture our top pick here are
some honorable mentions idea stuff today
Michigan put it so looks at me Orinoco
number one a quality video game movie
that’s a twist
that’s very twisty if we counted the
number of good live-action video game
adaptations on one hand we would still
have fingers to spare however detective
Pikachu seems poised to break that trend
the trailers hinted an interesting and
layered mystery justice myth of get down
Fame and the charismatic Ryan Reynolds
will lead the ensemble cast as Tim and
the electric sleuth respectively but the
most positive sign is that legendary
Studios has already begun developing a
sequel detective Pikachu has all the
pieces in place to be a breakout smash
hit at the very least we’re confident
it’s going to be a better Nintendo
videogames do you agree with our picks
