The Detective Pikachu Returns trailer
The Detective Pikachu Returns trailer reveals a lot of new details about the upcoming game. Following its announcement in June, the game is set to release on October 6. Based on the trailer and gameplay previews that show off some of the game's mechanics, we can expect to see a lot of what made the first game so enjoyable, but with a few surprises.
One of the biggest is that you can ride the Growlithe Pokémon as Pikachu. This adds a new dimension to the adventure, allowing you to reach new heights and explore areas in a way that wasn't possible in the first game. It also adds a bit of a twist as you might not expect Pikachu to ride a fire-type Pokémon.
The trailer also showcases how detective work comes together. You'll talk to people and learn about the world's intimate details, like the High Hat Cafe. Pikachu, on the other hand, will communicate with Pokémon, helping you solve cases. The case notebook is filled with clues and crime scenes with evidence to investigate.
The game's story revolves around the disappearance of Tim Goodman's dad, Harry. Pikachu is on a mission to solve this case and bring Harry back. Tim is the only one who can understand Detective Pikachu's speech, which adds to the lightheartedness of this adventure. Meanwhile, Tim's mom, sister, and college friend Rachel Myers play important roles.
The trailer offers glimpses of the world's intimate details, such as the High Hat Cafe and its inhabitants. Pokémon are also seen singing and relaxing, showcasing their depth beyond fighting. A separate mystery is teased, which may be connected to Tim's dad's disappearance.
If you loved the Detective Pikachu film, then you're in for a treat as the game shares many of its similarities. It's an exciting adventure that will have you at the edge of your seat as you team up with Pikachu to find Harry.
