Wait, why isn't Benedict Cumberbatch an option for the poll? I want comberbatch!
I honestly can't tell if you're making that up or if it is a keen observation you've made from the show. If it's the latter, that's pretty cool.
Well, that is cool, I suppose. But that's showing that Pokemon have their own little animal dialect and don't speak human tongue.Pikachu's speech patterns are indeed like that in the anime and have been for yeaaars. Also, in the XY season, the fairy type gym leader (can't remember her name) can speak with fairy type Pokémon. Not in a psychic way, but she actually speaks like a Pokémon. It only works with fairy types, though, so I'm not sure if it's that fairy types have a specific speech pattern or something like that.
In the gameplay, you play as Tim as he has interviews with people and gathers evidence with the help of Detective Pikachu. In the gameplay, you walk around Rhyme City. Tim interviews humans while Pikachu interviews Pokémon. While exploring town, you can find spots to investigate. You can look for evidence by using a magnifying glass and moving it around the scene until you find something. If Pikachu notices anything, the bottom screen image of Pikachu will activate. Tap it to speak with Pikachu to get a hint or advice. Finally, there are elements with Quick Time Events where you have to push a button in time to perform an action, such as catching Pikachu after he falls from a tree. If you fail to do so, the following scene changes slightly. It doesn't affect progress, but just changes how things go such as Pikachu hitting Tim's chest rather than being caught. From there, you solve the crimes based on evidence. The example given is to find out where Aipom disappeared to.
What are the chances that we get the game in the West?

Pretty high.
It's Pokemon.
You forgot the second TCG game
There's also Hey, You Pikachu!, which didn't make it in Europe because they would have to localise the microphone function in four more languages, and even then they would have lost a big part of the audience from countries that natively speak other languages than these five. Also, I think Tetris never released in North America, and even in Europe, it was a very limited release.
But yeah, we're past those times. Even when you consider how few titles didn't release globally, Detective Pikachu is clearly made to have a global appeal, and given what we've heard about its development, it's too big a fish to ignore. I'm a bit surprised it isn't getting a worldwide launch, if anything. But it shouldn't take too long.

I am not sure what you mean by Pokémon Blue not being released in the west because Red and Blue are the basic gen 1 games, Green is the one that wasn't released outside of JP.
Long story short, Pokemon Green is more similar to our Blue, sharing encounter rates and such. Meanwhile, Japan's Pokemon Blue has a totally different encounter rate than anything in the US. For example, you can find wild Jynx in it!
Our Red and Blue did use the same sprites as the Japanese Blue however, and the same codebase too afaik
There's some wild ideas about how this game can be handled now.

toothless pikachu looks weird

Pikachu is a famed detective who is able to speak with Tim. He’s a bit pushy towards Tim and can be arrogant.
He has a weakness for beautiful women. He occasionally instigates Tim into inviting girls he’s interested in to going out for some tea.
He loves coffee, and is a regular at a certain cafe. If he starts talking about something he knows a lot about, he’ll keep going on about it.
Pikachu is always on two feet. Even during urgent moments. That said, even when he runs at full-speed, he’s not very fast. Pikachu can’t use moves, and he can’t even discharge electricity that well. He also hates being ordered around.
Pikachu is a bright detective with calm judgment, and can be relied upon.
There are 7 Generation 1 games:
Red/Green (Jp.): The originals
Blue (Jp.): Enhanced version - Bug fixes, new sprites, different encounter data
Pikachu (Jp.): Special edition based on the anime
Red/Blue (US/EU): Different games, based on the Blue engine with the Red/Green encounter data, trade data etc., it translated the text from Blue (Jp.) which is why the trade in Cinnabar Island where you give a Raichu has the person claim the Pokémon went and evolved. It was a Graveler/Kadabra trade in Blue (Jp.)
Yellow (US/EU): Japan's Pikachu edition but coded for the GameBoy Color
What are the chances that we get the game in the West?
Indeed. Not that many Pokémon games haven't been released in all regions.
Here's a list
1996: Pokémon Blue - Never in EU/US
Complex but encounter rates/trades etc. from here were never used in the west
So they are all in effect the same games.
Any impressions on this yet? Was thinking of picking it up tonight.
So will it be like in AA: Investigation, where you used logic to come to one conclusion or I can build my own versions by using different evidence like Sherlock Holmes games? I guess the former, but the latter would be so better.By using testimonies and the evidence gathered, youll get to use reasoning to come up with a conclusion. Pikachu will also follow along.
This is like one of two or three change.org petitions I've ever signed.

"hay , how are you ? �� "
Pikachu being able to talk, but not being able to attack is something that's actually consistent with Meowth in the anime. He can't fight much anymore because he's using that space in his brain for human speech.
It's just something Pokemon give up to learn human speech I guess. Other than telepathy or legendary Pokemon.
