The Latest Detective Pikachu Trailer Finally Reveals Mewtwo

Ryan Reynolds is bringing his quick wit and biting humor to Detective Pikachu, and we can't wait to be able to see it come to life.

To kick things off, we get a fast glimpse of Pikachu's origin story. It turns out he's an amnesiac and remembers nothing of who he actually is. Armed with only Harry Goodman's address stitched indoors his detective hat, he's doing his best to remember who he is, and that address may have his first clue. As he stumbles around attempting to find clues to his identity, he runs into Harry's son Tim (Justice Smith) for the initial time, and the two form an instant nevertheless uneasy friendship that's immediately evident through Tim's unwillingness to accept this Pikachu can actually talk.


"If you wanna find your pops, we're gonna need each other.


"I don't require a Pokémon!" Counters an exasperated Tim.


"What about a world-class detective?" Exclaims Pikachu. Touché.


The trailer is full of some hilarious exchanges between Pikachu and Tim, emphasizing some of their side-splitting interactions peppered while in the movie. It turns out that Pikachu is addicted to caffeine, which probably isn't the perfect idea for an electric mouse to consume a lot of.


"Another round. Additional shot. Black as night," Pikachu tells a Pokémon named Ludicolo as he necessitates another coffee. Ludicolo hurriedly obeys.


Based on the Nintendo 3DS game of the same name, the upcoming Pokémon film follows Tim Goodman, a former Pokémon trainer and son of detective Harry Goodman. Immediately after his father disappears following a vehicle crash, Tim finds himself in Ryme City, considering his career as a trainer.

Tim is the only one who's able to understand Pikachu, as he sounds like just another Pokémon to each person else out in the world. The two pair up to find Tim's father and unravel the mystery surrounding his disappearance. What starts as a missing persons case rapidly transforms into the unraveling of a nefarious plot that's actually threatening the entire of the Pokémon universe.

It's not clear just although what categorize kind of role Mewtwo will play in the movie, however if it follows the same story line because the game as it looks poised to do, expect a very interesting ending.
