Detective Pikachu

Detective Pikachuย is slated for a theater release on May 10, 2019. For more about the movie:ย 

“The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokรฉmon partner,ย Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme Cityโ€”a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokรฉmon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action worldโ€”they encounter a diverse cast of Pokรฉmon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokรฉmon universe.”
