Detective Pikachu

DETECTIVE PIKACHU

Now we come to a really weird entry in the Pokemon series (made even weirder by the fact the Pokemon company felt this was the one to finally break into live action adaptation with, of all things). Detective Pikachu is a point-and-click detective adventure, starring a talking Pikachu and his partner Tim Goodman, as they look for clues surrounding the disappearance of Tim's father Harry.

While we have the same basic setup as the movie, the game is ultimately very much not the movie, with the plots going in completely different directions (though the sequel does ultimately end in the same place, but we'll get there). Tim and Detective Pikachu are our main characters, Pikachu unable to use any normal Pokemon moves, but instead uses his inherent detective skills to look for clues, Tim talking to humans and Pikachu talking to Pokemon.

Other major characters in the story include young reporter Emilia Christie (renamed Lucy in the movie, for some reason), her camerawoman Meiko Okamoto, their producer Roger Clifford, their boss Ethan Graham, Mike Baker, Frank Holiday, Amanda Blackstone, and Brad McMaster of the Ryme City police department, and Pablo Millan who runs a cafe. They investigate a drug ring distributing R, a drug that causes Pokemon to go berserk. In the end, Roger Clifford is revealed as the culprit.

The game takes place in Ryme City, a place where humans and Pokemon live together without either being owned or trained by either. Notable locations in the game include Tahnti Park, Litwick Cave, Pokemon Comprehensive Laboratory, Cappucci Island, Fine Park, GNN Station, Ryme Wharf, the S.S. Prime Treasure, and the Pokemon Carnival.
