Detective Pikachu on oleva ihan oikea elokuva. Sen ohjaa Rob Letterman, ja Pikachuna nähdään Ryan Reynolds. Ihmetystä on herättänyt se, miksi useissa Pokémon-tuotteissa niin kovin keskeinen hahmo Ash Ketchum puuttuu kokonaan.
Nyt ohjaaja on paljastanut, että taustalla on vain halu tehdä jotain uutta.
"The Pokémon Company, they've already made many, many movies of Ash, and they came to Legendary with this idea of using a new character. So when I came on board, I was pitched this character of Detective Pikachu, and I fell in love with the story behind it. It's a really great story. It was something with a lot of heart, and it was just very unique. And because there's already been so much work done with Ash, for the first live-action movie I thought it was a really good idea to try something new with a new character but bake it into the universe of Pokémon. So it still follows all the rules, and we get to see a lot of our favorite things."
