Everything GREAT About Pokémon Detective Pikachu!

Pokemon Detective Pikachu was a surprise for Pokemon and non-Pokemon fans I like. Ryan Reynolds can have that effect on things. If you hated, this is why people liked it. Here's everything right with Pokémon Detective Pikachu!

I've heard the argument that this movie didn't do any world building because it was done in the games/anime but the world built in the movie feels uniquely its own. World building isn't just about telling us whats in this world, it's also about convincing us that the world is lived in and that there are stories going on outside of the main story.

Also why does Howard go on about Mewtwo being the strongest Pokémon when Arceus’ existence is apparently common enough knowledge for an Amnesic Harry to say his name?

Kyle Campbell Well in the games, Arceus is considered a mythical Pokémon. So maybe everyone in this universe believes there is, was, or might be an Arceus but don’t know for sure if there is one. Kinda like the how Greek Gods were at one point. So when Harold says that Mewtwo is the most powerful Pokémon he probably had an unspoken “that we are aware of” at the end of it.

I love how they portrayed mewtwos voice. He’s more of a manly voice when he is screaming in pain, but when he is actively communicating, it isn’t ever with his mouth, he uses his psychic voice which sounds like a man and woman voice blended. It makes sense that his psychic voice is a man and woman because he is a genetic hybrid that is (at least in game) gender neutral, and when he was created, he could hear the voices of the researchers, men and women, who created him, similarly to how a baby will eventually learn his parents language and accent just by hearing it. When Clifford controls mewtwos body, he is using the psychic voice AND his own voice, creating the 3 voices when he speaks to Tim later, using mewtwos humanoid teeth and mouth. Also, it makes sense that the R gas was created from mewtwo because in the games the item meant to be associated with mewtwo, and can be found in his gen 1 location In cerulean cave in gold and silver, is the berserk gene, an item that when used causes confusion and maxes attack stat during battle.
