The story begins when ace private eye 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 Pokémon partner, 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.

Detective Pikachu, as a character, is really quite special - but the game itself is unfortunately just not very much fun to play.

The "merc with a mouth"'s next film role is going to be that of cute and cuddly little yellow character with a lot less of a vocabulary.

Lionsgate have officially nabbed the live-action feature film rights to Pokemon, and their first movie is a bit of a weird choice
