Character Sheet: Detective Pikachu

DETECTIVE PIKACHU


And now, with Gen VII, let's welcome four more newcomers to the non-dex roster of Pokemon:

1. Go Trainer

2. Tim Goodman

3. Detective Pikachu

4. MoBee IV

Spoilers ahead, I suppose. Next, we'll be covering Detective Pikachu, the main character of the Detective Pikachu games and movie, the companion Pokemon of missing detective Harry Goodman, who can mysteriously communicate with Harry's son Tim. If you don't know, in both the games and movie continuity, you come to discover that Harry's mind was preserved inside of Pikachu's by Mewtwo in order to preserve his life, though in the games, its only his mind while his body is comatose, but in the movies, the two were merged body and mind through convoluted . . . stuff. I figure you could have a menu on the character select screen that would let you use Kaiji Tang or Ryan Reynolds' voice in the English version.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Clue Find

Same as Tim


Side B: Pokemon Ally

He will use the Pokemon allies from the second game for this.


Up B: Gimme a Boost

This is the biggest reason I considered Tim and Pikachu as a duo rather than echoes, as it would feature Tim giving Pikachu a boost like he does in the games to reach higher areas.


Down B: R

Same as Tim.


Final Smash: Exposing the Thief

Or maybe the Thunderbolt he unleashes in the climaxes of both games.


Entrance: He'll take a sip of coffee, enjoy it for a second, then get into action.


Taunts: Up, he'll adjust his cap for a second. Side, he'll enjoy a cup of coffee. Down, he'll look around for cues.


Kirby Hat: His detective cap


Kart: A taxicab

Special Move: Clue Find


Spirit Battle: On S.S. Prime Treasure, with Tim


Victory Screen: Posing and saying "Mystery solved!"

Losing Screen: The fainting motion he makes when memories come back to him.


Color Swaps: Similar colors to Pikachu, but with the detective cap and cloak.


Thanks for reading! Next up, MoBee IV undertakes a quest!
