History WMG / PokemonDetectivePikachu

[[WMG:The Jigglypuff in the dive bar is the same one from the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]]]]

[[WMG: Pikachu's professional name will be [[JustForPun "P.I. Kachu"]].]]

** There was also a TakeThat in ''Film/Deadpool2'' [[spoiler: where Deadpool goes back in time and assassinates Ryan Reynolds before he can film the role as Green Lantern]]

** Jossed. But the mountains moving are actually [[spoiler: several GIGANTIC Torterras that have been experimented on. They're not legendary but still massive enough to appear like a mountain range when they're sleeping]]

* [[spoiler: Mewtwo plays a prominent role in the ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachu'' video game, but isn't an active antagonist. Perhaps it'll be true for the movie if it hews closer to the original video game.]]

* Well [[spoiler: Mewtwo is not the villain, we find out at the end of the film that he's actually the BigGood of the film.]]

* [[spoiler:By the end of the film, there are no talking Pokémon left, since Harry has been split from Pikachu, and Pikachu now [[PokemonSpeak speaks normally]].]]

* Confirmed. It'll be vital to the plot as [[spoiler:it's the only Ditto trained to impersonate ''humans'', setting up the crime in the backstory.]]

** Not entirely Jossed actually. [[spoiler: The climax of the video game actually does have Pikachu using a Thunderbolt on the main villain in the climax, but this is more of an EleventhHourSuperPower. It might be a scene from the climax of the film]].

* Confirmed. [[spoiler:Initially, when he has amnesia, Pikachu cannot use his electric attacks. But he figures them out after the brief flash of memory from Mewtwo before it was re-captured.]]

* The film seems to hint it at one point with a chemical called "R" but nothing comes out of it. Team Rocket is not on this film, though there is a shout-out to Giovanni and Persian with [[spoiler: this film's villain sitting in a dark room petting his pet Pokemon.]]

* Well... [[spoiler: at one point the chief and his Snubbull actually merge into the same person. But this is undone later]]

* Jossed [[spoiler: the Pokemon is actually a giant Torterra]]

* Magikarp actually [[spoiler: does turn into Gyarados with some help from Pikachu!]]

* Actually [[spoiler: Mewtwo is the film's BigGood and Mewtwo helps both Pikachu and Tim multiple times]]
* [[spoiler:Mewtwo does fight Pikachu but is brainwashed]].

* [[spoiler: Confirmed! Great job!]]

* [[spoiler: Partially confirmed. It was the group of Greninja that caused the crash, and Mewtwo merely witnessed the crash (after Harry and Pikachu helped it escape the lab). The rest of the theory is essentially spot-on though!]]

[[spoiler: Harry doesn't seem to remember any of it. But maybe ''Pikachu'' does, since it was his physical brain, but can't tell his humans because neither of them can understand him any longer.]]

[[spoiler:At the end of the movie a bunch of pokemon and humans fused together . This includes Lucy and her Psyduck who now can understand pikachu. So in the next movie Tim and his friends will tern into Pokemon and have to go on a big adventure to find Mewtwo.]]

News of [[spoiler:Mewtwo sightings in Ryme City will call their attention.]] If Giovanni is no longer the boss, the current boss is someone who either heard of [[spoiler:Mewtwo]] from Giovanni himself or already had some role in the original project.

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Miss Norman is actually Missingno]] ]]
[[spoiler: Just look at the name for one thing. MISS [=NOrman=]. They also react strangely to the R near the end, like they are glitching out.]]

[[WMG: This movie, Film/SuperMarioBros, Film/StreetFighter and Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 take place in the same universe.]]

* Jossed, the only relationship focused on Is Tim and Pikachu's. Pokemon battles are actually never shown beyond the cage match since they are banned in the city, and we don't really see enough of that to have an example of this trope.
* Or confirmed, given that no one in the movie condemns the concept of pokemon battles (just noting that they are illegal within the city, not that they are wrong), and plenty of pokemon are seen cheering during the cage match as well. Even catching them in a poke ball is shown in a positive light as Tim's trainer friend explains the rules of how its important that the pokemon "choose you as well" for things to really work.

But assuming Tim at least attempted the Sinnoh Pokemon League, He could of possibly had chosen a Turtwig as his starter pokemon until the event that caused him to distance himself from Pokemon.

** I highly doubt this particular cameo, on account of Creator/RobinWilliams [[AuthorExistenceFailure being Nintendo's first choice to play Oak.]]

* It might had sense that Tim was clearly unhappy and thought that Tim needed to be cheered up decided to try to cheer him up the best way it knows hows by licking him.

[[WMG: This movie, Film/SuperMarioBros, Film/StreetFighter and Film/SonicTheHedgehog2019 take place in the same universe.]]

News of [[spoiler:Newtwo sightings in Ryme City will call their attention.]] If Giovanni is no longer the boss, the current boss is someone who either heard of [[spoiler:Mewtwo]] from Giovanni himself or already had some role in the original project.

[[spoiler: Just look at the name for one thing. MISS NOrman. They also react strangely to the R near the end, like they are glitching out.]]

[[WMG: The Licktung randomly appearing and licking Tim on the train was its attempt to cheer him up}}
