People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Yuck!
This better not be their 20th Anniversary Project...

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
What are the chances of this game being Detective Conan/Case Closed, PIkachu Edition?

Wha...why does Pikachu sound a baritone?

If my theory above is right, then he is probably a male adult detective who got turned into a Pikachu.

That and I guess Ikue Ohtani can't do mature-sounding males.

Okay. We got our Pokemon Sherlock Holmes! Now who would make a great Pokemon James Moriarty?


I keep laughing my ass off at this animation:

"I LIKE 'EM THIIIIIIIIIIIICK!"
 
I wish this game allowed you to play a dirty detective with Pikachu hooking up wires to his cheeks and suspects and shocking them during interrogations

I read this as hooking up with chicks and now I'm imagining sleazy detective Pikachu banging hookers for critical case info.

Ah the joys an adult rating could bring this game...
 
This feels like the kind of thing Nintendo would never, ever make because it's not on-brand with a historically conservative company partnership.

My conclusion is that Earth A and Earth B have collapsed and created Earth Prime. Various characteristics of our universe and the bizarro universe now exist on the same plane.

This is why Detective Pikachu comes out a week from now. Because it always was.... in the bizarro world.
 
We can only hope for a Cumberbatch-alike for the English dub. Or hell, it's the anniversary, Nintendo can hire the real thing.

The Valley of Fearow
A Sandile in Bohemia
The Five Orange Hoppips
The Adventure of the Pikablu Carbuncle
The Adventure of the Petal Dancing Men
The Adventure of the Yellow Glaceon

Nah it's all right, it's the Pokémon company doing this, not Nintendo :p
 
At first I thought this was going to be something like Mystery Dungeon where all the Pokemon can speak... but then the regular-ass pikachu shows up at the end. I don't understand this.

That deep, meanly voice tho. I hope NoA gets Samuel L Jackson for the english ver. Would instantly make this my GOTY.

Yeeep that's a Pikachu game in 2016 everybody. I have a feeling this is gonna be on-par with Hey You Pikachu and Pokemon Channel lol.
 
Pikachu with a deep human voice really fucks me up.

Nevertheless, this looks really interesting.
Gave me some Layton vibes right there.
I hope this makes it overseas.

The trailer was one of the funnier things I've seen in a while.

I hope they get Danny Devito for the dub.

I said it in the other thread, but it bears repeating

The OT has to be:

Detective Pikachu OT | The Great Mouse Detective

If not we have failed.
 
They could have a lot of fun with this.

In his biggest case yet, Detective Pikachu works against a crooked police force (played by Houndour) to finally pin a crime on Don Honchkrow, and make it stick. All while avoiding the Don's "Murder of Krows" a group of rough feathered Murkrow that "enforce" the Don's rules.

I hope the game has a super shady Dark type that is actually totally innocent, but Pikachu is racist against the Dark Types and assumes the Weavile is guilty before it even gets to say anything. Because you know those Dark types, all the same troublemakers.
