Detective Pikachu's Nintendo Switch game has plenty of nods to the film.
Last week, Detective Pikachu Returns released on Nintendo Switch, offering a continuation of the story from the 3DS original. While the game takes place in a completely different world from the live-action movie, that didn't stop the developers from making a few fun references to the film. Players have already discovered a few fun callbacks, including one that happens early into the game.
In the movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, we never hear about Tim having any siblings. Meanwhile his mother's death is the event that causes an initial rift between Tim and his father, Harry. Those two characters are missing from the movie, but Detective Pikachu Returns does sneak in a reference to one movie-exclusive character. The news network GNN plays a huge role in the movie, most notably reporter Lucy Stevens and her partner, Psyduck.
Serebii.net owner Joe Merrick shared an image of the movie reference, which can be found in the Tweet embedded below. — Joe Merrick October 9, 2023 Detective Pikachu Returns SalesDetective Pikachu Returns released just last week, but early sales numbers for the game have already been released in Japan. According to Famitsu , the Nintendo Switch title was the top-selling game of the week, moving 85,639 copies.
Another Detective Pikachu FilmFans of the original Detective Pikachu game finally got a chance to experience a sequel, and it seems that fans of the movie could get that chance, as well. Earlier this year, Legendary Entertainment revealed that a sequel to Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is still"in active development," though no additional details have been revealed. The movie had a fairly definitive ending, which leaves a lot of questions about what kind of story could be told.
