Chinese Trailer for Detective Pikachu Gives New Story Details and Charizard vs Gyrados


Pokemon: Detective Pikachu continues to look better than it should and a new trailer released in China continues to impress. The trailer gives us a bit more when it comes to story details and an epic-looking battle in the end between Charizard and Gyrados. Honestly, this movie looks really good and the only way this could fail is if these are the best scenes, which would be really sad.

Kathryn Newton tells Tim Goodman that Pokemon have started attacking normal people, which is a really interesting plot element for the franchise. It instantly makes it different from other Pokemon tales and actually adds some stakes since Pokemon can kill normal people easily. Just ask Ash Ketchum, who has been killed twice by different Pokemon in different continuities.

Add this and the fact that Tim is looking for his dad with a Ryan Reynolds-voiced Pikachu and we have an engaging plot. This could be more than we expected and if it overperforms, we might get even more Pokemon movies in the future, hopefully with the same amount of love this film has received. Here is hoping that the plot exceeds expectations.

Pokemon: Detective Pikachu comes out on May 10. Fans interested in the film can get the 3DS game Detective Pikachu now, which also has a free demo.
