Earlier today, Nintendo released a new trailer for Detective Pikachu that shows off new features, characters and game-play footage for the upcoming game.

​

• Trouble in Ryme City!: Ryme City is a place where people and Pokémon live together. But recently, many friendly Pokémon are behaving oddly for no apparent reason. While Pikachu and his friend Tim search for Tim’s father, Harry, they unwittingly stumble into the mysterious case of the problematic Pokémon. Can they solve the mystery and also find Tim’s father? Cue the dramatic music…

• The Mysterious Mewtwo: While many different Pokémon appear in Detective Pikachu, the one who seems to hold the biggest connection to the overall mystery is Mewtwo. How is Mewtwo connected to everything? And why does Mewtwo know Pikachu?

• A Colorful Cast of Characters: Many charming characters roam the streets of Ryme City. These include Pablo Millan, owner of Pikachu’s favorite café; Frank Holliday, an inspector at the Ryme City Police Department; and Meiko Okamoto, a camera operator for the local TV studio. Meeting and interrogating all of thesecharacters throughout the game is part of the fun.

Help solve the mystery when Detective Pikachu launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on March 23rd.

Me:Awww it's a cute pikachu

Pikachu: *deep raspy voice* what the hell are you talking about kid

Me: agggh kill it with fire!!!

Ikr, would have been better with anime girl voice

Or trap

That's certainly not a voice I expected to come from Pikachu rofl. Putting a more "cinematic" game on 3DS also seems like a bad idea, but people liked Sun/Moon I guess so whatever.

hay now, mgs3 was pretty fun when I played on my 2ds though it's still not the best way to experience it, I agree that it would be better on a tv

hmmm. T i saw you had a pokemon direct thread but it disappeared n i couldnt view it. Is it related to this?

I'm just disappointed this game gets released on the 3ds family. It could've been so beautiful on Switch :s

It was fake news sorry. I got trolled

 

[leon315]

I'll get watch this on bluray!

 

[osaka35]

sounds like Crispin freeman, who plays...so so many things. but also a lot of detectives, like togusa from ghost in the shell. he's pretty good, i'm sure we'll get used to it as we play.

Now thats the voice of a detective, i like it.

Maybe for a detective...
Certainly not for a pikachu

 

[dpad_5678]

This actually looks really good. Nintendo's finally moving away from the cringey storytelling that's found in a lot (but not most) of their games.

Hopefully someone will make an undub version, if it doesn't come with an option to use japanese voices (which I don't believe it will).

 

[Zerousen]

I actually like Detective Pikachu's voice, lol.

"my dad had an accident while investigating a pokemon..."

(A) Truth
(X) doubt
(Y) Lie

i certainly prefer this to a squeaky toy voice.

 

[DarthDub]

Looks better than Ultra Sun/Moon.

 

[Gingerbread Crumb]

The voice acting is so trash

 

[ov3rkill]

If this game reveals the true form of Mimikyu, then I'd definitely buy it.

 

[Noctosphere]

If this game reveals the true form of Mimikyu, then I'd definitely buy it.

or you could watch a stream
if it really reveals it, it will be on youtube 2 days after the game launch
