Massive spoilers ahead!
So, I just finished Detective Pikachu and I must say it was a surprisingly fun romp. The game's main downside was how mundane the difficulty is. Like, even if I were a kid again, I don't think I'd have had any difficulty with any part of this game. However, in my opinion, the great presentation and story more than make up for it. The ending was the biggest cliffhanger of all time. So, basically, Tim and Pikachu are searching for Tim's dad, Harry throughout the whole game and hints are constantly dropped suggesting that Pikachu and Harry are mentally linked on a major level. I was thinking Harry died in the accident and with the last of his breath, Pikachu made the deal with Mewtwo to let them both live on in Pikachu's body, the amnesia being a result of their combined consciousness. But, at the end, Mewtwo asks Pikachu if he decided yet, which I assumed he could decide to remain Pikachu or have both return to their original selves. Then Mewtwo does something. However, when Tim came to the alley to find Pikachu collapsed in front of Mewtwo and uttering that Mewtwo knows Harry before passing out, Mewtwo reveals that Harry is alive and will be found so long as Tim doesn't give up. So, now I'm thinking okay, Harry is back, but still lost and Pikachu is a normal Pokemon again. Then cut to the next morning and Pikachu is acting like a regular Pikachu and after Tim shows concern about his turning back, Pikachu reveals it was just a prank and they set out to find Harry. Roll credits. Like, what? What was the choice Pikachu had to make? Why is it such a big cliffhanger? I hope they add some kind of epilogue or reveal in the movie what the choice was and more details about what exactly went down between Pikachu, Harry, and Mewtwo. Regardless of my disdain for open-ended endings, I really enjoyed this one. The game was also longer than I was expecting. I'm sure it could be beaten faster, but my playthrough took almost 12 hours. Definitely a worthwhile purchase for me. I guess this was more my thoughts on the ending, but whatever, it's unorganized, so blah.
