Well, it's honestly not a bad place to start. It's more cinematic.

As long as the plot involves toppling the Honchkrow mafia, I'm game.

Here's the Detective Pikachu trailer for those who haven't seen it.

Eh, I was hoping they'd adapt the original anime, but this'll probably work, too...

I've got Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash, Spyro, and Paper Mario fanfics.

(Pikachu slams suspect's head against the interrogation table repeatedly): "PIKACHU, PIKACHU, PIKACHU!!"

(Suspect): "Ok ok ok I'll talk just stop."

Commissioner played by JK Simmons

Commissioner- You're off the case detective! Two dead and one in the hospital.

Pikachu- PIKA PIKA! PI!

Commissioner-You leave my wife out of this!

Pikachu- Pi!

Commissioner- You SONOFA...!

Detective Pikachu can speak english, however. Like Mewoth. By the way, this is the Danny DeVito Pikachu trailer.

This story went in a direction I did not see coming.

[up][up]Well, technically Detective Pikachu can only be understood by the main character kid. All the other humans hear his words as "pika pika."

Everything I learn just makes this thing seem crazier and crazier.

This is going to be the best or worst thing ever if they get the right voice.

I've have enough of motherfucking Ekans on my motherfucking Latios.

I want you to join the Pokevengers, Captain Braviary, to save the world from Zoroark and the Genesect army.

And I will strike down with furious vengeance upon thee because I am Arceus.

Alex Hirsch would be a much better fit for Digimon, but okay.

[up]Digimon is not big enough in the US for Hollywood to notice.

I'm just saying Hirsch sounds like he'd be a better fit for a Digimon cast. Gravity Falls and Digimon are pretty much about kids getting pulled into the dangerous, enigmatic unknown, while Pokemon tends to be less about mysteries and an ongoing sense of threat and more about straightforward exploration of a setting already familiar to the leads.

It's worth noting that this isn't your average Pokemon movie about a kid on a Pokemon journey with a Pikachu. This is a Detective Pikachu movie.

Well, he is a big Pokemon fan.

Holy shit though, this is something I never knew I wanted.

The best Pokemon movie is Kyurem Vs The Swords Of Justice, or at least the best one I remember seeing.

The anime movies run the gambit between bad to mediocre. Even the better ones are just marginally above-average.

This actually has the potential to be a good movie if the Gravity Falls guy is writing and there's no Ash.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Domino was in the sequel to the first movie, which I'm pretty sure came out after the fourth movie.

To be honest, it's not really a bad choice. The Goosebumps movie was in a way like Pokemon. And the director also did Monsters vs Aliens.
