![]() That’s everything through Pokémon Sun and Moon, which actually came out after Detective Pikachu’s source game. The collection spans generations I – VII of the games, with the regions of Hoenn, Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola all represented. Phew, that’s enough for Detective Pikachu to make a Pokémon Rap of its own. And Ditto? The shapeshifting blob Pokémon (that’s only move is Transform) has a fitting and satisfying twist that sees it turn into multiple other Pokémon (like the bison-esque Bouffalant and burly Machamp) - indistinguishable except for its unchanged dot eyes. Morelulls accompany Bulbasaurs to help heal Pikachu while Pidgeotto provides an airlift when our heroes need it most. Some are even in major action sequences, like an epic group of Torterras that contribute to the film’s disaster film-like landslide. No, Tim doesn’t wear the skull of HIS dead mother at any point in the film. Yes, it’s wearing the skull of its dead mother. Lickitung and Cubone are included mostly as jokes, as the former torments Tim with its humongous tongue while the latter is a lonely analogue to our hero with an outrageously pathetic backstory. Snorlax, Pancham, Pangoro, Emolga, Rufflet, Sneasel, Doduo, Arcanine, Growlithe, Purrloin, Golurk, Joltik, Totodile, Audino, Golem, Comfey, and Kingler can all be spotted wandering around the diversely-populated city.Īipom, Loudred, Gengar, Blastoise, Gyarados, and Slaking all get affected by the mysterious substance R and become violent - whether that means a bunch of monkeys chasing Justice Smith’s Tim Goodman or an underground Pokémon fight bursting into chaos. But there are also plenty of background monsters for those with a keen eye. ![]() ![]() The Pokémon represented in the trailers include a humorously migraned Psyduck, a blustery Charizard, a barista Ludicolo, some scary shuriken-tossing Greninja (pictured below), the starters from the first generation of games (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander), as well as classics like the legendary Mewtwo and - of course - the detective himself, Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds). This eclectic mix of monsters helped make Ryme City work, which is exactly why the film’s decision to include, say, the more recently-added baby eagle Rufflet over the classic poison sac Koffing, is one worth looking into.įirst, let’s look at just who made it into the film. Pokemon: Detective Pikachu featured so many Pokemon that casual fans likely were searching their mental Pokédexes for the answers.
