New ‘Detective Pikachu’ Trailer Showcases the Wonderful World of Pokemon

With Detective Pikachu approaching its release date, another trailer has been released to increase the hype around the film. The trailer was posted on actor Ryan Reynold‘s twitter page. This time this new trailer showcases very little dialogue and instead shows a ton of the colorful, expressive Pokemon that fans want to see in live action. Fans of the videogames, mobile app, and cartoons will recognize plenty of iconic creatures such as Bulbasaur, Charmander, Psyduck and many more.

The trailer showcases both old and new footage of Pokemon interacting with this unique film world and all of this is set through Louie Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. No real battles are shown, just Pokemon interacting with the world and the trailer finally ends with Pikachu saying to Justice Smith, “Listen kid, if your dad was here, he would hug you so hard, your bones would pop.”

The trailer is incredibly fitting for the Pokemon franchise, being that it has plenty of laid back, sweet moments mixed in with the action. It is a side of Pokemon that isn’t always seen from the outside but is always appreciated by fans when it happens. The film will hopefully maintain both the heart and action that makes the franchise so enduring.

Detective Pikachu will be released on May 10th 2019 and you can check out the full trailer below.

 

Ryan Pineda: When it comes to film, animation, video games and other mediums, I can discuss for hours about how much on why certain films and animated media made me the person I am today. I adore the artistic merit that comes from a lot of pop-culture media and will definitely love to have a conversation about favorite movies any day! I have graduated in 2017 with a BA in Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Been passionate about writing about films due to always having an interesting outlook on the medium. Will always see a film and will definitely be sure to recommend it to someone that I know for a fact would love that movie. Not only that but will also give reasons for why I think that film did or did not work as a movie, and the same can go for other pieces of media like television, video games and especially animated projects.
