I’ll admit, there was a phase in my life where I was really into Pokémon. More the trading card and card game aspects as opposed to the anime, films and the large library of video games. Still that was years ago and I lost interest in the franchise as a whole. What that means is I never played the detective Pikachu games. But I have seen the Detective Pikachu movie, which is what this is about.
Whilst I’m aware there have been plenty of Pokémon movies,
this is the first I’m aware of that was produced in English. It’s also the
first Nintendo Movie since Super Mario Brothers, The First Live Action Pokémon
Film, and the first Pokémon film distributed theatrically in the US since 2003.
Not to say Pokémon has been dormant since then, not with the thousands of Pokémon
games that seem to come out all at once and introduce new and ever sillier
looking Pokémon.
But I digress, I’ve never played Detective Pikachu, but I
thought the concept was interesting enough that I decided to give it a watch.
