The official Pokemon Twitter account is currently live-tweeting from the Pokemon World Championships at Nashville, Tennessee. Not surprisingly, it's the perfect venue for director Rob Letterman to share news about his upcoming film. The filmmaker has just revealed the official logo for Pokemon Detective Pikachu at the event. Check it out below.

Although the official Twitter account did not reveal details about the scene, one attendee tweeted that the fight will involve two major Pokemon. Spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution.
The idea of Pikachu taking on Charizard is certainly a welcome one. Although Charizard has not yet been cast, we are definitely looking forward to how this fight will go down.
