If Detective Pikachu was directed by M Night Shyamalan.
What a twist!
Sacha tvist!!!
Don't make me say Aang outloud!
In the criminal justice system, Poké-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Kanto, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Squirtle Victims Unit. These are their stories...
(Detective takes a drag of his cigarette) Shit man. They never even made me a Pokemon master.
This is outrageous. It's unfair.
PG-ish version for those with older kids that would enjoy the pun.
The added brown is just 😘👌
Blessings to you. 🙏
I don't even know what voice to image in my head for this. A raspy pikachu worn out by life? What does that sound like?
So in this universe I'm assuming that Detective Pikachu is on the trail of the killer of not only Ash and Misty, but also Jesse, James, and Meowth. Trying desperately to figure out who set them up, just after Team Rocket had declared a truce.
I have never seen a single episode of the show, so I dunno if that even makes sense.
Detective Pikachu exists in a completely different canon to the anime
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jesse James isn't even mentioned in the anime
Law and Order: Pikachu
See this is a movie I'd watch
Oooh, Detective Pikachu - Rated R.
A gritty, bleak, neo-film-noir take on a grizzled, aged, jaded Pikachu who just needs to finish his work before he can pass on - his duty keeps him alive.
Opening scene - Black and White.
We enter an alleyway, slicked down with rain, with clearly muddy debris visible under the surface of the water in foot prints as characters pass.
The camera pans up, to a victim. The gore, the blood, the entrails, the brains... All vividly rendered in color against a monochrome background.
Zoom into Pikachu's eyes. He squints for a moment, takes a drag off his non-filtered cigarette, closes his eyes for a moment as he inhales, and tosses the butt into the alley gutter.
Opening credits roll.
I thought it was going to suddenly cut to the kid friendly anime.
Like all these pokemon are living very adult lives, surrounded by homocide, rape, and pokemon trafficing.
Then suddenly Ash shows up and he's like PIKACHU! You can't smoke! Silly Pikachu! I choose you!
And pikachu is like PIKA PIKA! PIKACHU!
And it's the cheery colorful kid friendly world like you see on the official anime.
Then it cuts back to the dark gritty style, and Ash is just standing there, drooling, saying "pika pika pikachuuuuuu!!!"
The only reason the pokemon only say their own name on the show is because you're seeing it through Ash's eyes. But Ash's mom was assaulted when she was pregnant, and that's why she never leaves the house.
So pikachu is trying to explain to Ash how it's dangerous out here, and he shouldn't be here alone. But Ash is essentially a special needs kid, so none of that absorbs. He just hears pikachu saying his own name.
Misty?
