| 16 | A [[TranslationConvention talking]] but [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible]] Pikachu with an [[MustHaveCaffeine addiction to caffeine]] and IdentityAmnesia, whose only lead on his past is the name and address of a missing detective named Harry Goodman in the deerstalker detective hat on his head.\ |
| 17 | |
| 18 | After realizing Harry's son Tim can understand him, Pikachu convinces Tim to let Pikachu help Tim find his father, and hopefully who he was at the same time. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Detective Pikachu wears a nice deerstalker cap, and nothing else. As he notes, he doesn't have a Modest nature (It's probably Sassy or another Special Defense-boosting one, given his love for bitter-flavored coffee and snarky comments). |
| 21 | * AdaptationalBadass: Once he figures out how to use his moves, he's able to [[spoiler:Volt Tackle ''Mewtwo'' through a building.]] Needless to say, his game counterpart never quite did something so spectacular. |
| 22 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: |
| 23 | ** He is far more openly naive and childish in demeanor than his game counterpart, who usually tried to put on a front of maturity, albeit usually failing to maintain it. |
| 24 | ** His [[InterspeciesRomance interest in human females]] is also completely absent, the closest thing he does to a woman in the movie is calling her "adorable", which is framed as a simple compliment (and a response to her calling him "adorable"), rather than an attempt at flirting. |
| 25 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:It's not clear if his FusionDance with Harry Goodman was a case of GrandTheftMe or their individual personalities, preferences, and quirks combined.]] |
| 26 | * AmnesiacDissonance: Pikachu doesn't have any memories of his past, so Tim is skeptical of how he just "knows" he's a world-class detective. Pikachu also doesn't remember [[HowDoIShotWeb how to use his powers]]. [[spoiler:This is an early hint of his [[FusionDance true nature]].]] |
| 27 | * AmnesiacHero: He doesn't remember anything about his past [[spoiler:due to Mewtwo combining his human partner's soul with his body]]. |
| 28 | * AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes: [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] When Mewtwo shows up in the third act, Pikachu and Tim Goodman are lead to believe that Pikachu [[EtTuBrute betrayed his father and released Mewtwo]], who the audience is lead to believe is evil. It isn't long before it's revealed Mewtwo isn't evil, and by process of elimination neither is Pikachu.]] |
| 29 | * BadassAdorable: Even with that voice, he's a fluffy creature that gets into dangerous situations and survives. He even defeated a Charizard [[spoiler:and uses Volt Tackle to launch a ''Mewtwo'' into a building]]! |
| 30 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Can be quite effective when he actually bothers to get it together. [[spoiler:During the climax, he manages to fight head to head against a possessed Mewtwo, where near the end, he uses Volt Tackle to ''send him crashing through a building.'']] |
| 31 | * BroughtDownToNormal: After [[spoiler:being separated from Harry]], Tim is unable to hear him speak. |
| 32 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Both literal with his long Pikachu ears, and figurative as he's a bit of a CloudCuckoolander with a coffee addiction, but nevertheless he's a good detective. |
| 33 | * CastFromHitPoints: Volt Tackle is a powerful move, but does ruinous recoil damage. Using it ''once'' nearly knocks him out. |
| 34 | * CastingGag: In the Latin Spanish dub, he's voiced by Creator/JoseAntonioMacias, who is best known [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries for voicing James of the Team Rocket Trio in the main anime series]]. |
| 35 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "I can feel it in my jellies!" |
| 36 | * CivilizedAnimal: Compare to other Pokémon, this Pikachu has quite a few oddities in his behavior, including a love for human food, wearing clothes, demanding to ride on Tim's shoulder, and while Pokémon are intelligent, Pikachu seems to be more capable of critical thinking and abstract reasoning than most. [[spoiler:This all builds towards TheReveal that he's not a normal Pikachu.]] |
| 37 | * CloudCuckoolander: He's a brilliant detective, but some of the things he says are ''out there''. |
| 38 | -->'''Pikachu:''' Okay, here it is: [[FakingTheDead Harry faked his own death!]] ''OR''... Somebody else faked Harry's death! ''OR''... Harry faked somebody else's death! ''({{beat}})'' That last one doesn't work ''at all.'' |
| 39 | * TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler:None of his initial theories about why Harry vanished were right, but he was right about him being alive.]] |
| 40 | * CompositeCharacter: The movie [[spoiler:confirms Harry Goodman is inside him]], while the game implied they were separate. |
| 41 | * DeadpanSnarker: Little guy's voiced by Ryan Reynolds, you expected anything less? He sarcastically ribs Tim about his attempts at romancing Lucy, points out various cliches like Ms. Norman's black SUV clearly being a bad guy car, and so on. It's to the point that it is legitimately hard to tell when and when not he's being [[SincerityMode serious about something]] due to nearly every sentence that forms out of his mouth being tainted with sarcasm. |
| 42 | * DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler:The Pikachu that Tim has been bonding with all movie turns out to be a FusionDance of Harry and his Pokémon by Mewtwo to save the former's life. When the two are split, Pikachu is BroughtDownToNormal and Tim can no longer understand him, so it's safe to assume Harry's Pikachu no longer has the same personality or mannerisms we've seen all movie. Likewise, Harry himself seems to have no memory of anything that occurred during the fusion. By all appearances, the "Detective Pikachu" personality seen in the rest of the film essentially ceases to exist after the split.]] |
| 43 | * {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:His reaction to Ryme City being flooded with R gas and the confused, scared civilians fused with their Pokémon, finding out that Howard is possessing Mewtwo? "I've gotta fix this."]] |
| 44 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:In the third act, he's able to Volt Tackle '''[[UltimateLifeForm Mewtwo]]''' ''through a building'', though it soon gets back up. It's also implied Pikachu helped Harry track down and capture Mewtwo prior to the events of the movie.]] |
| 45 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: Forgot how to use his electricity along with the amnesia, which makes it inconvenient when he faces off against a Charizard in an underground fight club. |
| 46 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Pikachu first meets Tim, he approaches it under the expectation that Tim isn't going to understand him, just like everyone else. |
| 47 | -->'''Pikachu:''' [[HereWeGoAgain Aw, jeez. Here we go]]. |
| 48 | * FusionDance: [[spoiler:He is effectively Harry Goodman's soul driving around his partner Pikachu's body.]] |
| 49 | * {{Gasshole}}: He has an episode of this at one point as a consequence of all that coffee. |
| 50 | * GlassSmackAndSlide: Fed up with Mr. Mime's taunting, Detective Pikachu attempts to attack it... only to ram face-first into Mr. Mime's invisible wall. |
| 51 | * GoodCopBadCop: Pikachu tries to be the "bad cop" towards a Mr. Mime only to be stopped by the former's invisible barrier. |
| 52 | * GutFeeling: He has a lot of things. He can feel it in his jellies! |
| 53 | * IAmAMonster: While he doesn't say it outright, he's clearly feeling like it when [[spoiler:he believes he betrayed Harry.]] |
| 54 | * IDoNotSpeakNonverbal: Much to Mr. Mime's frustration. |
| 55 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: The electric-mouse detective has a particularly grating personality, to the point where he's alienated all his Pokémon friends and clients, given how he interprets Mr. Mime's "Shove it" as "I push people away and hate them for leaving me". When he encounters Tim, a human that can understand his every word, Pikachu can hardly believe his luck, confessing straight away he's been lonely. The Pokémon is determined to make Tim his assistant. |
| 56 | * TheImmune: Despite coming into contact with R gas at multiple points in the movie, he is seemingly unaffected by it, though the movie never draws attention to it. [[spoiler:That's because it only affects the higher thought processes for Pokémon, whereas he is actually Harry trapped in his partner Pikachu's body. Pikachu is ''already'' affected.]] |
| 57 | * LetsGetDangerous: Does this for himself [[spoiler:before Volt Tackling Mewtwo through a building]]: |
| 58 | --> '''Pikachu:''' Let's do this Pokémon Battle thing ''right!'' |
| 59 | * LiarRevealed: [[spoiler:The second act ends with Pikachu seemingly getting revealed to have been Mewtwo's accomplice before [[AmnesiacDissonance losing his memories]]. Inverted as Tim and Pikachu only saw a portion of the recreation of events before being cut off, and Pikachu believes ''himself'' to be the liar who should be shunned, while Tim reasonably believes that there must be more to the story because of that.]] |
| 60 | * LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:Turns out to be Harry Goodman fused with his Pikachu]]. |
| 61 | * MascotWithAttitude: A fluffy, adorable wisecracker with an addiction to caffeine. |
| 62 | * MilesGloriosus: When Pikachu steps into the cage arena, he's confident in his abilities, calling his would-be opponent — a Charizard! — a "putz", and saying that he's beaten them before, and will do so again. Once he realizes he's forgotten how to actually use any attacks, he's growling at Tim to get him out of there, and can only curl into a TroubledFetalPosition in defense. |
| 63 | * MustHaveCaffeine: One scene has Tim accusing him of having a caffeine addiction, which Pikachu quickly denies, claiming he can choose not to drink coffee. His very next line is asking a Ludicolo barista for a (totally ''wired'') refill. And another has Tim waking up to find the living room filled with half-empty coffee cups. |
| 64 | -->'''Pikachu:''' ''[to the Ludicolo manning the bar]'' Another round, extra shot, [-black as night, thank you sweetie-]. |
| 65 | * NoYou: It seems to be his go-to retort for anything. |
| 66 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: |
| 67 | ** Pikachu battled Sebastian's Charizard and not only won, but left visible electric burn scars on his face and chest! Charizard is definitely eager for a rematch when they are face to face again. |
| 68 | ** It's also implied that Pikachu helped Harry [[spoiler:capture Mewtwo the first time, since not only do we see Pikachu help Harry free Mewtwo in a flashback, but Pokémon are better at battling other Pokémon and on-screen we see Harry-as-Pikachu Volt Tackle Mewtwo ''through a building''.]] |
| 69 | * ParrotPetPosition: He actually insists that Tim carries him this way. As he explains it, a single step for Tim is about a hundred steps for him. Other Pokémon are shown walking next to or behind their partners with no issue. [[spoiler:This is actually a clue that he's not a normal Pikachu.]] While Tim initially refuses to play along, he gets used to Pikachu climbing onto him and later starts picking up the Pokémon and putting him on his shoulders willingly. |
| 70 | * PokemonSpeak: Pikachu can only speak to Tim; to anyone else, he is just a Pikachu wearing a hat that can say "Pika" and "Chu". This was hilariously lampshaded when a bystander just heard him being adorable. |
| 71 | * PrecisionFStrike: During the cage fight, as he finds himself about to face an R-raging Charizard: "GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" |
| 72 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Turns out to be Tim's dad, unlike in the game]]. |
| 73 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's a big-eyed, short limbed, fluffy electric mouse with a constant cat-like smile wearing a tiny deerstalker cap. |
| 74 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Pikachu lets out a high-pitched scream done by Creator/IkueOtani rather than Creator/RyanReynolds as he's about to be chomped by a Charizard. |
| 75 | * SherlockHomage: If nothing else, Pikachu wears a stereotypical Holmes deerstalker. |
| 76 | * ShipperOnDeck: Frequently teases Tim over his growing attraction to Lucy. |
| 77 | * SignatureHeadgear: He wears a Sherlock Holmes-esque deerstalker with Harry’s name in it. [[spoiler:It isn’t actually a hat Harry wears, however, as Pikachu had it before and after their time merged.]] |
| 78 | * SoulJar: [[spoiler:Turns out to be carrying Harry's soul and personality within him.]] |
| 79 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Whoever wants Harry dead/disappeared won't get away with it now that Pikachu is on the case! [[spoiler:In the past, Pikachu also short-circuited the lab holding Mewtwo, allowing its escape, and Pikachu prevented Howard Clifford from succeeding in killing Harry by offering its body to Mewtwo to save his life.]] |
| 80 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Pikachu is the wisecracking, larger-than-life foil to Tim's brooding cynicism. |
| 81 | * TalkingAnimal: A motormouth electric mouse, though only Tim can understand him. |
| 82 | * TheUnintelligible: Every human other than Tim just hears him saying different mixtures of the two syllables "Pika" and "Chu" over and over again, no matter what he's actually saying. |
| 83 | * TroubledFetalPosition: In the cage match battle scene, Detective Pikachu goes from boasting and calling his opponent a "putz" to being huddled in a terrified ball when he realizes he doesn't remember how to use any attacks. |
| 84 | * UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Harry's Pikachu was so loyal to him that it agreed to allow Mewtwo to implant him in its body to save his life.]] |
| 85 | * VocalDissonance: A fluffy yellow huggable rodent with the masculine voice of Ryan Reynolds. However, everyone other than Tim only hears him use PokemonSpeak in Ikue Otani's iconic cute, high-pitched voice that Pikachu as a whole are typically associated with. [[spoiler:Once Harry is separated from Pikachu though, he can only be heard with Ikue's voice.]] |

| 96 | |
| 97 | The son of a missing detective and a failed Pokémon trainer. |
| 98 | ---- |
| 99 | * ActionSurvivor: He's basically an ordinary guy who gets pulled into bizarre Pokémon shenanigans involving a conspiracy to control the most powerful Pokémon on Earth, and all because he wanted to put his father's affairs in order. |
| 100 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Here, Tim is a more jaded person and gives off the impression he doesn't really care about his father's disappearance, wanting to wrap up Harry's unfinished business so he can go home. He also doesn't seem to be too gung-ho on working with a talking Pikachu. |
| 101 | * AgeLift: Tim from the game was an 18-year-old, while this film's Tim is 21. |
| 102 | * BadLiar: He insists he's happy with the insurance company, but looks miserable while saying it. |
| 103 | * BlackAndNerdy: He was a huge fan of Pokémon, and now claims that he doesn't care for them anymore. However, if his TechnoBabble speech to Pikachu about all the moves he has in the round house proves anything, [[HiddenDepths he knows a lot more about Pokémon then he's willing to admit]]. In his room that his dad recreated to look like his childhood one, he had a folder filled to the brim with Pokémon trading cards and Pokémon posters plastered across the walls. Pikachu even pokes fun at how his childhood bed's headboard is in the shape of a Pikachu. |
| 104 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Male version. Tim starts off very adverse to the idea of going to Ryme City, working with Pikachu to investigate his father's death, or even associating with Pokémon at all. After a couple of misadventures, he starts opening up to Pikachu and they become close friends. |
| 105 | * DisappearedDad: The driving force behind the plot is Tim's missing father. |
| 106 | * DramaticDrop: Tim drops the stapler in his hand (that he was using as a weapon) when he hears Pikachu speak. |
| 107 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Tim prepares to use a stapler to defend himself when he comes across Pikachu. |
| 108 | * JerkassRealization: When Lt. Yoshida shows him footage of his father's crash [[spoiler:leaving him to believe his father is really dead, Tim realizes how unfair he'd been to his father after his mom's death, shutting him out and refusing to come live with him, then blaming his dad for not being there for him.]] |
| 109 | * LickedByTheDog: Almost literally - when on the train he's licked by a Lickitung, heavily implying his affinity with Pokémon never really left him. |
| 110 | * LonersAreFreaks: A human without a Pokémon Partner? What's wrong with him?! |
| 111 | * MissingMom: She died from an illness, and this caused Harry to move to Ryme City. He'd been raised by his grandmother in his absence. |
| 112 | * MyGreatestFailure: After Lt. Yoshida shows him footage of his father's crash, Tim reflects on his life and realizes that [[spoiler:he regrets refusing to move in with his dad after his mother's death, cementing the rift between them. Specifically, the pivotal moment when his grandma brought him to the train station to send him off to Ryme City, but he refused to leave.]] |
| 113 | -->"I should have gotten on that train." |
| 114 | * TheOneWhoMadeItOut: Inverted. Tim is from a [[SmallTownBoredom small town]] where all the young people leave for more exciting things (whether Pokémon training or college), but Tim's the only one who refuses to leave, settling for a boring cubicle job at an insurance company. His friends are all worried about him for this reason. |
| 115 | * PrecisionFStrike: When confronted by a pack of mad Aipom, he screams, "Oh, SHIT!" This is just barely censored. |
| 116 | * RaceLift: Tim was a Caucasian young man in the original video game. Here he is played by a mixed white/African-American actor, Creator/JusticeSmith. |
| 117 | * RaisedByGrandparents: Has been raised by his grandmother ever since his mother died and his dad moved into Ryme City. |
| 118 | * TheReveal: As a kid, Tim wanted to be a Pokémon trainer and go to the Leagues like many other kids. When asked what happened to that dream, Tim replies somberly that things just didn't work out for him as his current job is working as an insurance salesman. It is later explained that [[spoiler:the day his mom was going to take him to watch a Pokémon League tournament she fell ill and had to be taken to the hospital. She later died of her illness and this, combined with his dad coping with the tragedy by moving to Ryme City and "spending more time with Pokémon than his own son", led to Tim giving up on his dream to be a trainer and sparked a resentment towards Pokémon for taking his father away from him.]] |
| 119 | * ShipTease: With Lucy. |
| 120 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: For some unknown reason, Tim can talk to Pikachu and only this specific Pikachu, and it's a relief to the poor rodent, who felt lonely, as no-one could understand him. [[spoiler:It is later explained that Mewtwo merged the mind of Harry with his Pikachu's body, and instructed him to bring his son back so he could fix them. Mewtwo's psychic powers and their family link is what allows them to communicate with each other.]] |
| 121 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Tim is the serious, cynical foil to Pikachu's larger-than-life and joking personality. |
| 122 | * StunnedSilence: He's stunned when he hears Pikachu speak for the first time. |
| 123 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: His father was a {{Workaholic}} who moved to Ryme City when he was a kid [[spoiler:shortly after his mom's death, widening the gap.]] |
| 124 | * WhiteCollarWorker: He starts the film as an insurance appraiser, which his friend Jack can't help mocking. |
| 125 | * WouldHitAGirl: Played for laughs. When [[spoiler:Ditto takes on Lucy's form, albeit with its signature BlackBeadEyes]] Tim claims that he has no qualm hitting the form of the woman who he's ''very'' attracted to, only for [[spoiler:Ditto to easily kick his butt]]. |

| 133 | |
| 134 | An unpaid intern investigating Harry Goodman’s disappearance. She has a Psyduck as a companion. |
| 135 | ---- |
| 136 | * ActingUnnatural: Her attempts to "act casual" when trying to slip Tim classified information in public is anything but. |
| 137 | * AnimalCompanion: Her Psyduck. |
| 138 | * BoundAndGagged: She and Psyduck are being wrapped and silenced by the Greninjas. |
| 139 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: An unpaid intern who wants to be a reporter, and the only one chasing the leads Harry left behind before Tim arrived in Ryme City. She's also a goofy LargeHam who keeps bolt cutters in her car on the off chance she'll need to break in somewhere. |
| 140 | * CompositeCharacter: She's a combination of Emilia Christie and Meiko Okamoto, the two reporter characters from the original game. |
| 141 | * CoolCar: Subverted. The car Lucy drives is a REVAi, AKA the G-Whiz, which is known as an absolutely garbage car...but also one she'd likely buy due to her being an intern. |
| 142 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Lucy is implied to be one, as she's annoyed by the fact that she has to do a "Top 10 Cutest Pokémon" listicle when she finds all of them cute. Keep in mind the multitudes of poison-types that are based on pollutants, the dark-types that are just downright mean-looking, the ghost-types that delight in scaring people and Mr. Mime, whose semi-human appearance is eerie to say the least. |
| 143 | * FusionDance: Gets merged with her Psyduck when Mewtwo attacks the city. |
| 144 | * GoingForTheBigScoop: Although an unpaid intern at CNM, she's looking to find her one big break, and will go as far as to break into the high-security lab where they were doing experiments on Pokémon. |
| 145 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blond hair, and tries desperately to get the scoops on the dangers of the R gas, but is constantly turned away. Near the end of the movie, she tries to warn others about the R gas and to avoid having their Pokémon inhale it even if it is futile. |
| 146 | * IntrepidReporter: She gets into dangerous situations while investigating. |
| 147 | * LargeHam: In her introductory scene, she tries very hard to sound like the hard-hitting reporters you see on TV. Instead, it comes off as embarrassing. |
| 148 | * OddFriendship: Psyduck gets notoriously bad headaches and explode when under stress or pressure. Lucy is an aspiring IntrepidReporter who does a lot of dangerous and stressful things to get the HotScoop. Yet, they're obviously very close. |
| 149 | * PrecisionFStrike: At one point in the film, she gets an "Oh, shit!" that's barely censored by Tim talking over her. |
| 150 | * ShipTease: With Tim. |
| 151 | * SunglassesAtNight: Lampshaded by Pikachu when she walks into the Hi-Hat Café (already a pretty dimly-lit establishment) with her shades on. |
| 152 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Emilia Christie from the original game, who is more or less similar to Lucy, except for the fact that Emilia doesn't have a Pokémon companion. |

| 163 | Tim's dad, one of the best investigators in Ryme City, his mysterious disappearance is what kick-starts the story. |
| 164 | ---- |
| 165 | * TheAce: By all accounts, he was one of the best detectives the RCPD ever had, and his Pikachu appears to have been incredibly well trained in battle before he got amnesia, able to not only defeat a Charizard in battle but doing enough damage to leave physical scars. The film also never goes into detail on ''how'' Harry captured Mewtwo, but later on Harry-as-Pikachu is able to Volt Tackle it through a building, suggesting an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome of ridiculous proportions. |
| 166 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's not clear how much of his situation with his Pikachu is a case of GrandTheftMe or a complete FusionDance of their individual personalities, preferences, or quirks. Although it's strongly implied that Tim bonded with his father by bonding with Pikachu, so that has to count for something. |
| 167 | * AscendedExtra: In the 3DS game, Harry only appears in the opening cutscene, and you never meet him within the game proper. The film reveals that Harry was Detective Pikachu the entire time, and he finally appears in his human form at the end of the film. Simply put, the movie upgrades him from TheGhost to '''the''' main character of the story. |
| 168 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: As seen while his mind is inhabiting Detective Pikachu, he's a MotorMouth ManChild with a tendency to [[DeadpanSnarker snark at everything and everyone in sight]] and an almost crippling addiction to [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee]]. Doesn't change the fact he's undeniably one of ''the'' best investigators in all of Ryme City. That's not even getting into the fact that he tracked down ''and'' capture a '''Mewtwo''' of all things sometime before the events of the movie. |
| 169 | * TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: When Lt. Yoshida praises Harry as a [[MeaningfulName good man]] who did so much to help the humans and Pokémon of Ryme City, Tim bitterly replies that his dad spent so much time helping strangers that he didn't have much time for his own son. Turns out Harry did try to make time for Tim, but Tim wouldn't give him a chance. |
| 170 | * DeathFakedForYou: One of Detective Pikachu's theories as to what happened to him. Ultimately turns out to be the case, as Mewtwo sealed him within his own Pikachu to save him. |
| 171 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Somehow tracked down ''[[PhysicalGod Mewtwo]]'', resulting in its capture prior to the events of the movie taking place. |
| 172 | * DisappearedDad: He last saw Tim when his son was 11, at least 10 years ago. His death/disappearance is what triggers the entire story. |
| 173 | * TheFaceless: He does have a face, but in all the flashbacks or holographic reveals where he was involved, his back is always turned or his face is hidden. This is to hide the fact that Harry is being played by Ryan Reynolds. |
| 174 | * FakingTheDead: One of Detective Pikachu's theories as to what happened to him. Ultimately averted, since he was too badly injured after the car crash to do much of anything on his own. |
| 175 | * FusionDance: After being attacked by Greninja and flying off a bridge, Mewtwo merged him with Pikachu to save his life. |
| 176 | * HeartbrokenBadass: Lost his wife years ago and has thrown himself into his work ever since, losing touch with his son in the process. |
| 177 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: One of Pikachu and Tim's many theories of Harry's death/disappearance is he DugTooDeep and someone wanted him silenced. The BigBad admits as much in the third act. |
| 178 | * MeaningfulName: Goodman, shared with his son. Despite his rocky relationship with his son, he always tried to do what was best for them and always tried to fix his mistakes. |
| 179 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once Harry finds out about Howard's plans, he chooses to break Mewtwo out. |
| 180 | * MyGreatestFailure: Not being there for his son especially shortly after his wife's death. When Tim comes to his apartment to wrap things up, he finds a "Happy 21st Birthday" card with a note apologizing for not being a good father, but wanting another chance to make it up to him. |
| 181 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Detective Pikachu's insistence that he is still alive hinges on the fact that no corpse was ever recovered. It's eventually revealed that Mewtwo fused him with his own Pikachu. |
| 182 | * NiceGuy: By all accounts, Harry is a decent and kind, albeit flawed man who deeply loves his son and has a strong moral center. |
| 183 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He somehow managed to capture and bring back Mewtwo, one of the strongest Pokémon in existence, to Clifford's lab. |
| 184 | * PapaWolf: Within Detective Pikachu, he turns on Volt Tackle on seeing Tim in danger and Howard taunting him about it. |
| 185 | * ParentsAsPeople: By all accounts, he was a good man, but a distant father who spent more time at work than with his own son. It turns out to be a little more complicated than that: after his wife's death he did indeed move to Ryme City and throw himself into his work, but later tried to reach out and have Tim come live with him. But Tim was so hurt by his absence that he refused to try to meet his dad halfway or give him a chance. |
| 186 | * ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: The other reason for the attempt on his life -- he refused to take the money he was offered. |
| 187 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Upon discovering the truth behind R Gas and capturing Mewtwo for Howard Clifford, he realizes the truth behind everything. In a final act of defiance, he orders Pikachu to cause a short-circuit to Mewtwo's stasis pod and free him from captivity, only to nearly get killed by the Greninja sent after him. |
| 188 | * UnwittingPawn: Harry was the one whom captured Mewtwo for Howard. But it's clear Howard deceived him as once Harry uncovers the real reason, he breaks Mewtwo out. |
| 189 | * TheVoiceless: During flashbacks or holographic reveals where he was involved, he never talks. This is to hide the fact he's being played by Ryan Reynolds. |
| 190 | * WalkingSpoiler: His role in the plot is absolutely vital, both as himself and his Pokémon. It's so spoileriffic that even his face and voice aren't revealed until the final scene. |
| 191 | * WhenYouComingHomeDad: Being MarriedToTheJob and moving to Ryme City shortly after his wife's death created a huge rift between Harry and his son. |
| 192 | * {{Workaholic}}: Threw himself into his detective work after his wife's death, creating a rift between him and his son. |
| 193 | * YourFavorite: When Tim shows up to his dad's apartment to wrap things up, he finds a bedroom filled with Pokémon League stuff, as his dad had hoped he'd come live with him (or at least visit) and filled his room with things he thought he'd love. It's later revealed that Tim had already soured on the Pokémon League by that point, since his mom had to go to the hospital during a League Tournament she was supposed to take him to, and died of her illness later. |

| 200 | |
| 201 | The founder of Ryme City, and father to Roger Clifford. He wants everyone to evolve into their best selves. |
| 202 | ---- |
| 203 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:His whole plan to put human minds into Pokémon was born out of an attempt to make humanity more durable. At some point this vision went bad and he now wants world domination.]] |
| 204 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Who would have believed the kindly handicapped creator of a paradise where both human and Pokémon co-exist side by side was secretly creating an AssimilationPlot in order to fuse the two types together to become part of a new world with him at the helm?]] |
| 205 | * BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler:Once he gains control of Mewtwo's body, he leaves his original body unprotected with Ditto being there as his backup and plain sight instead of gaining control of the Legendary Pokémon's body remotely. Once Tim takes care of Ditto, he removes the neural link from his head which allows Mewtwo to regain control of himself]]. |
| 206 | * DecompositeCharacter: He's Roger's CanonForeigner father who [[spoiler:takes his son's role as the main villain]]. |
| 207 | * EmergingFromTheShadows: When meeting Tim and Pikachu in his office, he is first shrouded in darkness before he turns on a light. This, however, is not the first time the audience is introduced to him. |
| 208 | * EvilCripple: [[spoiler:Being in a wheelchair is at least part of his motivation to track down Mewtwo and fuse with his body.]] |
| 209 | * {{Expy}}: He is written very similarly to [[spoiler:Judge Doom from Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit.]] |
| 210 | ** [[spoiler:They both frame a mean character for the death of someone important in order to hide their plan.]] |
| 211 | ** [[spoiler:They both set up a character close to them as a RedHerring.]] |
| 212 | ** [[spoiler:They both plan to spread a special chemical across the land in order for one race of creature to thrive and the other to die out. ]] |
| 213 | ** [[spoiler:In the end, they both go through a OneWingedAngel transformation in order to prevent the main character from stopping their plan.]] |
| 214 | * {{Foil}}: Like Harry Goodman, Howard has a very strained relationship with his son due to work involving Pokémon [[spoiler:and inhabits the body of a Pokémon. ''Unlike'' Harry, who was unknowingly put into the body of his Pikachu, Howard forcefully puts his mind into Mewtwo. Also, while Harry has made efforts to reach out to his estranged son, Howard has no qualms about getting rid of his kid when he stands in the way of his EvilPlan.]] This also extends to his personality beyond his actions: [[spoiler:while Harry and Tim suffer from their damaged relationship, the result of Harry's dedication to his work towards helping others, Howard is considered a visionary and savior by the inhabitants of Ryme City, yet all his work with Pokémon was self-serving to the core despite appearing altruistic. Plus, while Harry was desperate to fix his relationship with Tim, Howard actually ''frames'' his own son for his crimes.]] |
| 215 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:The fact that his penthouse is filled with statues of the Pokémon that created the world is, in hindsight, a clear reference to his god complex. The only Pokemon statue he suspiciously doesn't have? [[SatanicArchetype Giratina]]]]. |
| 216 | * AGodAmI: His son accuses him of having a god complex, especially after an interview where Howard refers to himself as the "visionary" responsible for Ryme City; Roger sarcastically asks if "savior of the world" was already taken (Howard claims that Roger's own employees wrote the script). It's worth noting that Howard's office surrounds him with statues of godlike Pokémon like Arceus, a visual hint that he sees himself as an equal to them. [[spoiler:His villainous plot just further proves this; he uses a combination of R gas and Mewtwo's powers to fuse humans and Pokémon together, declaring this to be the cure to all of humanity's ills while not bothering to ask for permission or even opinions before deciding for the people. To cap it all off, in his fight with Detective Pikachu, Howard arrogantly proclaims that he ''is'' the future.]] |
| 217 | * GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:He uses a harness to put his mind into Mewtwo's body, so that he can control the powerful Pokémon.]] |
| 218 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:If Harry's and Howard's fusions with Pokémon are any indication, the Pokémon have little to no control over the merged bodies. ''Some unity''.]] |
| 219 | * LargeHam: [[spoiler:Once he hijacks Mewtwo, he clearly gets drunk on his new found power, descending into EvilIsHammy.]] |
| 220 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He hijacks Mewtwo during the climax of the film]]. |
| 221 | * SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Delivers a pretty menacing one when he hijacks Mewtwo's body.]] |
| 222 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Renowned as a benevolent cultural visionary seeking to foster greater harmony between humans and Pokémon, who founded Ryme City for that purpose. [[spoiler:He's not so morally-laudable as he's made out to be.]] |
| 223 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He hides R in the parade balloons and uses that to drive all the Pokémon crazy so that he in Mewtwo's body can merge everyone with their partners, believing this is humanity's best chance to "evolve" into something greater. On the other hand, he does try to put himself on top the moment he does force everybody into the bodies of Pokémon as stated in AGodAmI, so it's possible [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist he was only thinking of himself]].]] |

| 230 | |
| 231 | The head of CNM, the news network for Ryme City. |
| 232 | ---- |
| 233 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:In the original game, he was the one responsible for the R Gas. Here he's not just not taking part in his father's plan, his father is framing him as the ringleader.]] |
| 234 | * AdaptationalNationality: He's British (Galarian?) in the movie, while the English dub of the game portrays him with an American (Unovan?) accent. |
| 235 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the game, he's a friendly character who's [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing revealed to be the]] BigBad]]. In the film, he's the inverse: a smug {{Jerkass}} who's [[spoiler:''assumed'' to be the BigBad, but turns out to be GoodAllAlong]]. |
| 236 | * AntagonisticOffspring: His father paints him in this light and tells Tim that he's after Mewtwo so he can produce the R Gas to destroy his foundation in Ryme City. [[spoiler:The opposite is true as Howard is Roger's ArchnemesisDad who had him tied up, having Ditto in his place]]. |
| 237 | * BigBad: He's the one who masterminded the R Gas incident as a way of getting back at his absent father. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Except not]]; he actually spends most of the movie tied up in his father's closet while his father's Ditto assumes his form and frames him for his father's crimes.]] |
| 238 | * BoundAndGagged: [[spoiler:The real Roger is introduced tied up and gagged in Howard's closet.]] |
| 239 | * CallingTheOldManOut: When the cameras stopped rolling, one of the first things he did was call out his father for how self congratulatory the bit they just filmed was. Howard claims that Roger's people are the ones who wrote it, but that seems suspect considering what is discovered later on. |
| 240 | * TheCavalry: [[spoiler:He smacks his father's Ditto away from Tim as he's dangling out of the building window, then pulls the boy in to safety.]] |
| 241 | * CombatPragmatist: Knowing he can't win a straight fight with [[spoiler:Ditto, he attacks it from behind and knocks it far enough away to pull Tim to safety]]. |
| 242 | * DecompositeCharacter: His video game role as [[spoiler:the mastermind behind the R Formula is transferred to a new character, his father Howard]]. |
| 243 | * TheDogBitesBack: After being [[spoiler:kidnapped, BoundAndGagged, and locked in a closet by the Ditto impersonating him, he manages to knock a hit on the impostor to save Tim]]. |
| 244 | * EvilCounterpart: He appears to act like one to Tim: They are heavily estranged from their fathers which eventually grew into resentment when they are focused on their careers (Harry being a detective and Howard being a corporate and founder of the city) to the point that [[ParentalNeglect they believed]] [[MyGreatestFailure they failed them as a father]]. [[spoiler:This turns out to not be true, as it is Roger who wanted to bond with his father while Tim, despite his issues, still has some lost love for Harry until they eventually reconciled]]. |
| 245 | * {{Foil}}: Like Tim, he has a strained relationship with his father, both stemming from their parents prioritizing their Pokémon-related occupation to spending time with their children. [[spoiler:This is part of his set-up as a RedHerring though, as it later turns out he had some pretty good reasons to hate his Dad.]] This turns up again later near the end, [[spoiler:when Roger blames himself for how his father turned out, just as Tim earlier blamed himself for his strained relationship with his father. The difference is Roger did everything he could but there was just no helping Howard, while Tim has a second chance to make things right with his own dad.]] |
| 246 | * GoodAllAlong: While [[GoodIsNotNice still something of a jerk,]] he [[spoiler:attacks his evil father in the climax and gives Lucy a chance to break the story. His earlier TheDragon-like appearances were by Howard's Ditto.]] |
| 247 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 248 | ** His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him drop the cheerful facade when the cameras stop rolling to call his dad out for calling himself the "visionary founder" for Ryme City, snarkily asking if "savior of the world" was taken? Though Howard Clifford quickly points out that [[SubvertedTrope it was Roger's own people who wrote the script]]. [[spoiler:Roger turns out to be right, as his father really does have a [[AGodAmI God Complex]].]] |
| 249 | ** When Lucy comes to him with the rumors she heard about R he states that he can't just run a story without sources. While how he says it is rather rude (with him also casually insulting her clothing) he does have a point that reporters need to have evidence and sources before they run a story. |
| 250 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is abrasive and not particularly nice, but he's a decent person underneath, [[spoiler:as he saves Tim and immediately after the climax puts Lucy on prime-time to report on it (remembering that she was the first person to know about it), and promises to do all he can to return the various genetically modified Pokémon to normal]]. |
| 251 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:Although he didn't listen to Lucy's story at the start, that was because she had zero credible sources. After the crisis is over, he gives her full credit for recognizing that she knew about it before anyone else did, and allows her to report it on the news.]] |
| 252 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler:The viewers are led to believe he is the BigBad due to being completely against his father's dreams and of what Howard says of him. After it is shown that Howard is the BigBad, it makes it look like he is TheDragon to his father. However, in the end, it was discovered that the majority of the evil actions done by Roger was really due to Howard's Ditto impersonating him and Howard himself is the true villain.]] |
| 253 | * SinisterShades: Wears large dark sunglasses when chasing down Lucy and Tim at the PCL, [[spoiler:because that was actually the Ditto impersonating him.]] |
| 254 | * StepfordSmiler: When doing promos with his father, Roger is able to act like an upbeat and approachable son. As soon as the cameras go off, his smile flips into a scowl and he can't get away from his father quick enough. |

| 266 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: Of sorts. Despite being introduced as a character created for the movie, she turns out to be [[spoiler:a Ditto in disguise]]. |
| 267 | * ContinuityNod: Not the only character named "Norman" in the franchise. [[spoiler:The other is the Normal-type gym leader from ''Emerald'', fitting given Ditto's type is Normal.]] |
| 268 | * TheDragon: Howard's most loyal assistant [[spoiler:and Pokémon partner]]. |
| 269 | * EyeDentityGiveaway: She's revealed [[spoiler:revealed to be a genetically-enhanced Ditto when she takes off her sunglasses, revealing Ditto's signature BlackBeadEyes]]. |
| 270 | * EyelessFace: [[spoiler:Well, almost. Ditto do have eyes, but much smaller and beadier than a human's. The area around its real eyes is just blank skin.]] |
| 271 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:To "her" true nature as a Ditto. During the first newscast with the Cliffords, there is a Ditto watching over them who transforms into a human in the background to wheel Howard away from the set. Other clues are her pink-purple gloves and hair, and her solid black, round sunglasses helpfully mimic a Ditto's eyes.]] |
| 272 | * GenderFlip: Of the character Keith Norman from the original ''Detective Pikachu'' game, [[spoiler:being a secondary antagonist assisting the BigBad]]. |
| 273 | * InhumanEyeConcealers: She wears opaque sunglasses at all times to hide the fact that [[spoiler:she's actually a Ditto and sports the Pokémon's distinctive BlackBeadEyes -- apparently the only thing that a Ditto can't change]]. |
| 274 | * MeaningfulName: Ms. Norman is [[spoiler:a pseudonym for a Ditto that pretends to be a normal human, it is also a reference to Ditto's Pokémon type: Normal]]. |
| 275 | * MorphicResonance: [[spoiler:BlackBeadEyes aside, Ditto's default appearance wears pink gloves and has pink, wavy hair, referencing its natural appearance.]] |
| 276 | * RightHandHottie: An attractive woman who serves Howard Clifford [[spoiler:[[TheDragon as his most loyal hench-Pokémon]]]]. |

| 279 | * TheSpeechless: She doesn't talk in any of her appearances. [[spoiler:[[PokemonSpeak Since all it can say is "Ditto".]]]] She does text when she spots Tim and Pikachu at the arena. |
| 280 | * SunglassesAtNight: She wears large sunglasses all the time, even at night. [[spoiler:They are meant to hide its Ditto eyes.]] |
| 281 | * TerminatorImpersonator: She's stoic, silent, usually functions as a tracker, and wears a pair of sunglasses to cover her conspicuous eyes. |
| 282 | * UncannyValleyGirl: She's far too quiet and aloof for someone who has pink hair and matching gloves. |
| 283 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:As her true form is a Ditto, and a genetically altered one at that, it's safe to say she's a lot younger than the 27 year old Suki Waterhouse who portrays her as Ms. Norman.]] |

| 294 | * EvilBrit: She has a very distinct British (Galarian) accent and a chilling lack of morality. |
| 295 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Implied - she is blown backward by an explosion and multiple pointy shards of glass are flying straight toward her in the process. If this wasn't enough, it seems like the metal door she was flying toward collapsed on her as well.]] |
| 296 | * ForScience: Her motivation for her experiments. |
| 297 | * MadScientist: She's essentially a neuroscientist for Pokémon... who wants to learn how to mind control them. |
| 298 | * NotEnoughToBury: [[spoiler:As heavily implied as you can get in a PG movie. She is last seen flying toward the bank vault style door after a psychic blast from Mewtwo's attempt to escape. It's on its hinges when the hologram ends. The next second we see that the door, which must weigh several tons, has been ripped out of its frame and knocked back several feet, and since Mewtwo escaped the lab through the ceiling, he didn't do that.

| 311 | * BearerOfBadNews: Not just informs Tim about Harry's death, but, at the second time Tim comes with the idea that he could still be alive, shows a surveillance tape of the accident itself, claiming he didn't want to upset Tim any further than he already was. |
| 312 | * CanineCompanion: Has a Snubbull as his partner. |
| 313 | * NiceGuy: When Tim gets to Rhyme City, Lt. Yoshida is very nice and generous to help him cope with the loss of his father. When he shows Tim footage of the crash later on, it's only done because he doesn't want the young man to have the false hope that his father is still alive. |

| 330 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he subjects his Charizard to the R compound, that same Charizard knocks him down and shatters all his other vials, which ends up wrecking the entire establishment when the audience's pokémon go berserk. |
| 331 | * ItsPersonal: Has a major grudge against Harry for beating his Charizard with only a Pikachu. Upon seeing the same Pikachu again, he offers to tell Tim everything he knows about "R" in exchange for a rematch. |
| 332 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being quite hot-tempered and antagonistic towards Tim and Pikachu, his desire for a rematch stems more out of personal pride for his Charizard (whom he refers to as his 'baby') getting injured in their previous fight, [[spoiler:and he reacts with immediate panic and concern that Tim will get hurt when he climbs into the arena to help Pikachu against the R crazed Charizard.]] |

| 344 | Lucy's Psyduck companion. She is rarely seen without him. |
| 345 | ---- |
| 346 | * AdaptationalBadass: At least in comparison to the games, where Psyduck, as a pre-evolution, has mediocre stats (its best being a none-too-stellar 65 Special Attack) and no bonus on Psychic-type moves since it's a pure Water-type. In this movie, it manages to knock out multiple Greninja (admittedly a bit of a GlassCannon, but its '''worst''' stat is still above Psyduck's '''best''' in the games) in one attack (and supposedly having Type immunity over Psychic as part Dark-types). It is, however, mostly consistent with Psyduck's portrayal in the anime. |
| 347 | * ForbiddenChekhovsGun: His explosive psychic headaches. It's mentioned more than once that if his headaches get too painful, his psychic powers will explode and cause a lot of damage. When the group is being pursued by several Greninja, the stress of being chased (and from Pikachu's [[{{Troll}} deliberate trolling]]) gives Psyduck a headache so massive that he releases a powerful psychic wave that blows the Greninja away. |
| 348 | * OddFriendship: Psyduck gets massive headaches and explodes if under stress or pressure, while Lucy is an aspiring IntrepidReporter who does a lot of dangerous and stressful things to get the HotScoop. Yet, they're very close. |
| 349 | * OpportunisticBastard: Takes advantage of Pikachu's fear of his head exploding to milk a foot massage out of him. |
| 350 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Lucy has to spend all of her time trying to keep him calm lest he get a headache and let loose a psychic wave he can't control. |
| 351 | * PokemonSpeak: One of the Pokémon in the movie to play this trope completely straight. Unlike most Pokémon who just make animalistic sounds, Psyduck does have speech but can only say his own name. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]]: Psyduck's "Psy" is considered definitive of it, and part of its AntiHumor nature. |
| 352 | * PowerIncontinence: Psyduck has great psychic powers but the trouble is he can't control them. |
| 353 | * PowerStrainBlackout: Passes out briefly after using its psychic powers to stop the Greninja chasing the group. |
| 354 | * PsychicPowers: Technically he's a [[MakingASplash Water-type]] Pokémon, but there's more emphasis on his psychic abilities here. Specifically, he releases powerful psychic waves that can be very dangerous if he has too much of a headache. |

| 360 | |
| 361 | Sebastian's prized Pokémon. |
| 362 | ---- |
| 363 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: As terrifying as it was, it's nothing compared to Gyarados. |
| 364 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Considering its powers are breathing fire and flying, a cage match probably isn't the best place for it to fight. At one point all it could do was chase Pikachu around in a circle, allowing to Tim to get the drop on Charizard with little effort. |
| 365 | * AxCrazy: As a result of being exposed to the R-chemical. Its usual mood is more TranquilFury. |
| 366 | * DinosaursAreDragons: While Charizard is inspired by dragons, its live-action design here resembles real-life dinosaurs even more closely than its traditional design. |
| 367 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Is the Pokémon partner of an illegal fight club battler and bears a nasty electric burn scar on its face. |
| 368 | * OhCrap: Elicits this response from Pikachu after inhaling R and going berserk. When it sees Gyarados, it whimpers. |
| 369 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: It's inspired by Western dragons (albeit as a Fire/Flying type), and the live-action artstyle here makes it look more like other CGI live-action dragons like [[Film/TheHobbit Smaug the Magnificent]] and [[Series/GameOfThrones Drogon]]. |
| 370 | * {{Revenge}}: Pikachu scarred its face last time they met and it wants to settle the score. |
| 371 | [[/folder]] |
| 372 | |
| 373 | [[folder:Ditto]] |
| 374 | !!Ditto |
| 375 | |
| 376 | Howard Clifford's partner. |
| 377 | ---- |
| 378 | * AdaptationalBadass: Ditto in the main series has never been as badass as [[spoiler:Ms. Norman, who can shapeshift into many different Pokémon at will and do so in seconds, gaining all their powers for it. It's fairly obvious when it fights Tim during the climax that it's just playing with him and could easily end the fight any time it wanted. {{Justified|Trope}}, as it's genetically modified.]] |
| 379 | * BlackBeadEyes: A standard for its species. [[spoiler:It's also a FatalFlaw when transforming since it's incapable of changing out of its normal Ditto eyes when morphed, and when disguised as a human it uses sunglasses to hide them.]] |
| 380 | * ChekhovsSkill: Is shown to be able to transform into humans early on. |
| 381 | * CuteIsEvil: [[spoiler:It's a cute little blob with an adorable high-pitched voice... and also probably the most malevolent Pokémon in the entire film]]. |
| 382 | * DiscardAndDraw: Thanks to the experiments performed on it, this Ditto can transform into Pokémon without needing the Pokémon to be physically present, and [[spoiler:it can even transform into humans. However, it can't change its eyes like other Ditto.]] |
| 383 | * TheDragon: Serves as [[spoiler:Howard's right-hand Pokémon]]. |
| 384 | * FightsLikeANormal: [[AccidentalPun Pun not intended]]. [[spoiler:When morphed into Lucy, it demonstrates some boxing ability, suggesting it's been taught how to fight like a human in addition to being able to fight as Pokémon.]] |
| 385 | * FinalExamBoss: [[spoiler:It transforms into multiple characters from the movie when it fights Tim, even human characters like Lucy]]. |
| 386 | * GlamourFailure: Its inability to change its eyes leads to it [[spoiler:having to wear sunglasses whenever impersonating a human.]] |
| 387 | * JustBetweenYouAndMe: Silent version. [[spoiler:When Tim finds the real Roger, the impostor reveals herself as a Ditto. Then proceeds to try to kill him]]. |
| 388 | * MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:Is capable of transforming into not just other Pokémon, but also other human beings, specifically Roger, Lucy, and its default human female Ms. Norman.]] |
| 389 | * MagicGenetics: According to Roger, [[spoiler:"Norman" was one of Howard's genetic experiments, explaining its various abnormalities.]] |
| 390 | * MorphicResonance: No matter what form it takes on, its beady eyes remain the same. |
| 391 | * NightmareFace: Ditto's signature BlackBeadEyes and blank expression become this [[spoiler:whenever it transforms into a human. Ditto's face on a live-action human is definitely ''not'' natural and the movie likely intended this effect to make the character and battle scene with it way more unnerving.]] |
| 392 | * {{Sadist}}: A rarity in this franchise, [[spoiler:likely due to its genetic alterations making it vastly more intelligent than the average Pokémon. Just to show it's not a {{Mook}} or an UnwittingPawn, Ditto transforms into Lucy just to mess with Tim, and later transforms into Cubone when Tim is hanging from the window to tap on his fingers one at a time to make him fall, instead of just throwing him off with one of its larger, stronger forms.]] |
| 393 | * ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: [[spoiler:Downplayed; it briefly takes on Lucy's form during its fight with Tim, which unnerves him long enough for Ditto to get a hit in.]] |
| 394 | * ShapeShifterSwanSong: When Tim [[spoiler:douses it with a large spray of R serum]], it starts to turn into different forms uncontrollably before fainting into a pile of unconscious goo. |
| 395 | * SignatureMon: To Howard Clifford. [[spoiler:[[PersonalityPowers Pretty]] [[UncattyResemblence fitting]] that the blame-shifting, many-faced VillainWithGoodPublicity would use the Mon that can take any form. The fact that Howard's plan involves hijacking Mewtwo makes it doubly fitting, since Ditto is commonly thought to be the result of failed attempts to create a Mewtwo.]] |
| 396 | * TerminatorImpersonator: Like the T-1000, its natural form is liquid, it can shapeshift and it is very tough in battle. |
| 397 | * UpliftedAnimal: Or Uplifted Pokémon. [[spoiler:A point is made throughout the story that Pokémon typically ''can't'' understand human language and are more along the lines of TheEmpath, with a few rare exceptions, such as Detective Pikachu (being a human mind in a Pokémon's body) and Mewtwo (an extremely powerful Psychic Pokémon that has ''also'' been extensively genetically modified). This Ditto was extensively genetically modified to be able to mimic humans, but also clearly is of near-human intelligence as well - while she can't ''speak'', she's able to text coherent, articulate messages, and is mostly seen acting independently. She's also a rare example of a Pokémon that is ''intentionally'' malicious, as most antagonistic Pokémon are so simply out of self-defense or loyalty to their trainer, and while she ''is'' loyal to Howard, her smug attitude and independent behavior paints her actions as very much her own.]] |
| 398 | * WalkingSpoiler: Yeah. Everything about this Pokémon's existence spoils several major plot points. |
| 399 | [[/folder]] |
| 400 | |
| 401 | [[folder:Mr. Mime]] |
| 402 | !!Mr. Mime |
| 403 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fsez1u5.png]] |
| 404 | |
| 405 | A particularly smug Mr. Mime who was helping Harry with a case before he disappeared. |
| 406 | ---- |
| 407 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Played with. Tim and Pikachu accidentally mime lighting him on fire, which Mr. Mime takes entirely seriously. |
| 408 | * HelpfulMook: A rare Pokémon example. When Tim is clearly dousing him with gas through pantomime, Pikachu keeps getting Tim's answers wrong to the point that he briefly drops character and has to help explain what Tim is doing. |
| 409 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He had a chance to run away, but since he takes miming so seriously he instead ran in place, ''pretended'' to ride a motorcycle, then "ran into" the "wall" Tim inadvertently made by putting his hands up. He then cracks when Tim employs a JackBauerInterrogationTechnique by dousing him in gasoline and threatening to set him on fire...''through pantomime''. |
| 410 | * HopeSpot: Tim and Pikachu threaten to set him on fire ([[HoistByTheirOwnPetard through mime, of course]]) if he doesn't fess up. Tim manages to figure out that the R came from the round house, getting all they need out of him, leaving Mr. Mime to breathe a sigh of relief. [[KillItWithFire Then Tim drops the match over the gasoline]]. |
| 411 | * {{Jerkass}}: Insufferably smug and rude just because. |
| 412 | * SilentSnarker: Tells Detective Pikachu to "shove it" through mime. |
| 413 | * SmugSmiler: He's always insufferably smug. |
| 414 | * TheVoiceless: Well he ''is'' Mr. Mime after all. |
| 415 | * YourMimeMakesItReal: Not only can he create actual invisible walls, he takes all forms of miming seriously, to the point Tim threatens him by miming getting ready to light him on fire. He only breaks character ''once'', as if to say YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe, when Pikachu is unable to follow what Tim is miming (twice if you count him getting incredibly offended at Detective Pikachu's angry shouts to "''Talk'' you stupid mime!"). |
| 416 | [[/folder]] |
| 417 | |
| 418 | [[folder:Greninja]] |
| 419 | !!Greninja |
| 420 | |
| 421 | The Ninja Pokémon, Greninja is a Water/Dark-type humanoid frog that attacks with ninja weapons made from water. A trio of Greninja appears late in the movie to guard the PCL lab from Tim, Pikachu, and Lucy. |
| 422 | ---- |
| 423 | * AdaptationalVillainy: While not truly "evil", this movie depicts Greninja as an antagonistic force, to the point that [[spoiler:they were responsible for the car crash that nearly killed Harry Goodman]]. There's also the fact that they were experimented on to become hyper-aggressive. |
| 424 | * AdaptationalWimp: Despite being part Dark-type, which are normally immune to Psychic-type moves, they're blown away by Lucy's Psyduck's Psychic. |
| 425 | * DarkIsEvil: Notable for playing this straight, whereas most other Greninja in media are depicted as neutral or heroic. |
| 426 | * MakingASplash: Their signature Water Shuriken, [[spoiler:which they used to cause Harry's fatal car crash.]] |
| 427 | * NoSell: Subverted. Despite being Dark-type, they don't exhibit immunity to Psychic-type attacks, a far cry from canon. |
| 428 | * TheVoiceless: The Greninja here are completely silent and don't utter PokemonSpeak despite its existence in the movie's universe. |
| 429 | [[/folder]] |
| 430 | |
| 431 | [[folder:Bulbasaur]] |
| 432 | !!Bulbasaur |
| 433 | |
| 434 | A wandering herd of Bulbasaur that Tim and Lucy meet after escaping from the Greninja and the Torterra Garden. |
| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * BystanderSyndrome: Subverted. At first, the Bulbasaur that Tim asked for help and for guiding him to a healer Pokémon to save a badly injured Pikachu seemingly walks off after some pondering. It turns out it was just calling its herd to help them, although they don’t allow Lucy and her Psyduck to come with them - perfectly understandable, since they're half-Poison Type, which is weak to Psychic. |
| 437 | * GreenThumb: They are Grass-Type Pokémon after all. |
| 438 | * ItCanThink: Discussed and then played straight. When they first see a lone Bulbasaur, Lucy believes that, as a wild Pokémon, it doesn’t understand their pleads for help to save Pikachu, but Tim says that it can understand their feelings. He is correct. |
| 439 | [[/folder]] |
| 440 | |
| 441 | [[folder:Mewtwo]] |
| 442 | !!Mewtwo |
| 443 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Rina Hoshino and Kotaro Watanabe (simultaneously) [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Karla Falcón and Idzi Dutkiewicz (Latin American Spanish), Creator/KoichiYamadera and Sayaka Kinoshita (Japanese)[[/labelnote]] |
| 444 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1556998953896.png]] |
| 445 | |
| 446 | The world's strongest Pokémon, genetically engineered from the fossilized remains of an ancient Mew. |
| 447 | ---- |
| 448 | * AmbiguousGender: Unlike previous incarnations who have either have a male or female voice, this incarnation [[VoiceOfTheLegion speaks with both at the same time]], befitting of its ungendered status in the games. That said, other characters ironically refer to it with male pronouns in a franchise that usually takes special care to use "it/its" to refer to Pokémon as much as possible. |
| 449 | * AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:It's much more mellow and benevolent than any previous incarnations seen in the anime (initially) or any games. It's grateful to Harry and Pikachu for setting it free and goes out of its way to protect and save them. It isn't driven by rage or all-consuming hatred of humans, it simply wants to be free and left alone. However, it still retains some degree of misanthropy and distrust towards humans comparable to anime Mewtwo's appearance in ''Anime/PokemonMewtwoReturns''.]] |
| 450 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Its whole motivation for helping Harry, Pikachu, and later Tim is that Harry and Pikachu risked their lives to free it after they handed it over to the bad guys.]] |
| 451 | * BigGood: [[spoiler:Of all things. Even though we're led to assume the opposite, it actually acts as the greatest source of good in the movie - it saves the life of Harry and his Pikachu on different occasions, and pushes the direly-needed ResetButton in the aftermath of Howard's evil plan.]] |
| 452 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:We're originally led to believe it's a Mewtwo unique to the film's universe. In fact, it's ''the'' Generation I Mewtwo that escaped from Kanto. The writers have even said they intended it to be the very same Mewtwo as the one in ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie''.]] |
| 453 | * CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Has elements from its anime and game incarnations; it was cloned from the remains of a Mew like in the anime instead of being the result of a tampered embryo of a Mew but the rest of its backstory seems consistent with the games.]] |
| 454 | * GoodAllAlong: We're led to believe that Mewtwo, like in other media, hates humanity for their mistreatment towards it and the movie opens with it seemingly attacking Harry. [[spoiler:In the end, Mewtwo actually defended Harry from a trio of Greninja and transferred his body into his Pikachu in order to treat his injuries]]. |
| 455 | * GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Turns out Mewtwo can do this to people at will, provided that the Pokémon that's going to give up its body agrees to it or is under the influence of R gas. It's actually a rare case where it's used benevolently to save the lives of others, but Clifford uses the power to hijack Mewtwo's body for himself.]] |
| 456 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Howard Clifford uses Mewtwo's own power to steal the latter's body.]] |
| 457 | * HumansAreBastards: Mewtwo's never exactly been a ''huge'' fan of humans, and one of its first lines in the film is "Humanity is evil." [[spoiler:Though late in the movie, we find that it's more of the opinion [[HumansAreFlawed "SOME Humans Are Bastards" as it's willing to help Harry and his Pikachu multiple times through the story]]. Even its less-than-ideal opinion on humanity is understandable given the film portrays it as minding its own business before getting abducted and experimented by humans.]] |
| 458 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:{{Downplayed|Trope}}: while not a villain, the plot does get more serious once it shows up. After meeting it, Pikachu believes that he betrayed Harry and leaves Tim. Mewtwo being recaptured also kicks off the movie's climax. It's later {{subverted}} once the truth behind its involvement in Harry's disappearance comes out.]] |
| 459 | * LightningBruiser: Like its game counterpart, it is very strong, very fast, and very tough. [[spoiler:When Howard hijacks its body, he tanks every attack Pikachu throws at him and is beaten when Mewtwo is freed.]] |
| 460 | * MysteriousPast: [[spoiler:All we know is it was created twenty years ago in Kanto before it went missing. It's never revealed whether it was created by Team Rocket as in the anime, or by an independent research group on Cinnabar Island like in the games.]] |
| 461 | * OpenSecret: Zig-zagged: [[spoiler:His existence is unknown to most of the population but in the more shadier echelons of society his existence is well-known -- at the very least Howard and Dr. Laurent knew about its existence.]] |
| 462 | * PsychicPowers: Obviously, considering it's the strongest and most famous Psychic type Pokémon. It is telepathic and telekinetic and can fire some sort of EnergyBall (likely Psystrike). [[spoiler:It is also capable of healing the injuries of others and somehow converting humans to energy and combining them with Pokémon. This last ability, however, requires that the higher cognitive functions of the Pokémon's brain be suppressed first (leaving them with no memory for the duration of the merger). Mewtwo can do this on its own to some extent (as it does with Harry's Pikachu), but using the R drug to enrage them first allows the human to retain their memories.]] |
| 463 | * RedHerring: [[spoiler:Mewtwo, with its rampage at the movie's opening and intimidating presence, is initially made out to be the BigBad of the movie. The truth is that it's just a victim of Howard Clifford's machinations, and quite benign when left to its own devices.]] |
| 464 | * SingleSpecimenSpecies: [[spoiler:There's only one Mewtwo created under mysterious circumstances in the Kanto region. Hints that there might be another are just a RedHerring.]] |
| 465 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Its voice consists of a male voice and a female voice layered on top of each other, which adds to its androgynous nature. |
| 466 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Its final fate is never revealed, but presumably, it went back into hiding.]] |
| 467 | * WorldsStrongestMan: Described as the most powerful Pokémon in the world by Pikachu. [[spoiler:It's interesting to note that this is a setting that acknowledges Arceus. Justified because it can still be the most powerful in the world, but not the universe.]] |
