Why I'm Excited For The Detective Pikachu Movie Even Though I Don't Know A Thing About Pokemon
This week, the second trailer for Detective Pikachu hit the internet, and what was even more bizarre and incredible than the little yellow fuzzball that sounds like Ryan Reynolds was the response online. People are sort of losing their minds over this movie, and while almost none of it makes any sense to me, I am absolutely in love with the enthusiasm. Because while I dont get Pokemon, I have been there with my own beloved characters, so that part makes sense to me.
I know next to nothing about Pokemon at all. Ive never seen an episode of the animated series. Ive never played a dedicated Pokemon video game. The closest Ive ever come is using one of the Pokemon characters in Super Smash Bros. What Ive picked up about the franchise has largely been through osmosis hanging out with friends who are fans. I was already half way through college when the first Pokemon video game came out in North America and I viewed them (rightly or wrongly) as games meant for younger players. By the time Pokemon became a thing, I was too far behind to get on board that particular train.
The fact that Nintendo tends to release two Pokemon games at once, with different titles, but theyre apparently the same game for the most part, still makes no sense to me.
So when people got absolutely batshit crazy on Twitter for Mewtwo showing up in the trailer for Detective Pikachu, I dont really get it. I recognize the character, again, only because he showed up in Super Smash Bros. And the scene is pretty cool with the explosions, but beyond that, I dont really see why this moment was so epic. If you havent seen what Im talking about, check out the new trailer below.
While none of this really makes sense to me, Ive sort of been caught up in it all because it clearly means a lot to a lot of people. Excitement can be contagious and Im enjoying a vicarious thrill by watching the people who love Pokemon get hyped for Detective Pikachu.
Part of that, without question, comes from the fact that many of these same people were far from certain that this movie was a good idea in the first place. These fans have been waiting for a live-action Pokemon movie for years, potentially most of their lives, and when it was announced that one was finally happening, it came with the title of a Pokemon spinoff game that, at the time, hadnt even been released in North America yet. To say fans were skeptical would be an understatement.
And even when the first trailer hit, I didnt necessarily see a lot of people super excited. Most of the focus was on Ryan Reynolds, not the actual Pokemon. Thankfully, this new trailer has really given us a better idea of just how broad the world of Pokemon is going to be and how many of people's favorite characters will appear, and now a lot of people are on board.
I could easily turn up my nose at Detective Pikachu and decry how these kids are getting excited by this silly video game movie, but not every film needs to be made for me. I am, by some standards anyway, old. Im outside of the key demographic, and while Ive been spoiled with so many movies in recent years hitting many of my nostalgia buttons, thats sort of my point here. Some movies need to belong to other generations, and this one is clearly hitting other peoples nostalgia buttons.
I may have been in college when the first Pokemon game came out, but that was over 20 years ago. Lots of people who never grew up without Pokemon games are now seeing those characters from childhood come to life on the big screen. How awesome is that?
The reason I think Im getting so excited is that, while I cant necessarily wrap my head around being so pumped for Pokemon specifically, I can absolutely understand what its like to see a movie like Detective Pikachu finally happen.
Its the way i felt when I was 12 years old and Tim Burtons Batman was released in theaters. It was the first time I ever made a point to see any movie on opening weekend. I didnt even realize having to wait in line at a theater was a thing until then. Weve seen countless Batman movies since then, including at least one that is unquestionably a better movie, but you cant recreate the magic of seeing a comic book come to life for the very first time.
Then, a year later, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got their first live-action movie. I remember the feeling I had watching the first trailer and seeing these characters that I loved becoming real on the screen. It was amazing. I have little doubt that if the internet had existed in 1990, a lot of adults online would have mocked a live-action Ninja Turtles movies mercilessly. Heck, the names of the characters are, without question, quite silly, about as silly as Pokemon.
For whatever reason, we have largely decided as a culture that the film adaptation is the ultimate version of any given pop culture property. Regardless of where it started, your favorite character hasnt truly made it until the film version arrives. For Pokemon, that day is almost here.
And it has to be said, the movie looks pretty good. Ryan Reynolds sounds really funny and while I may not know who all the various Pokemon are or why theyre important, they still look really impressive.
Even if Detective Pikachu turns out to be a fantastic movie, it probably wont turn me into a serious fan of the franchise. I still wont pick up a game. I still dont think theyre for me (even if my age has nothing to do with it). Even if I dont love the movie, Im not going to be too bent out of shape too much, especially if others do love it. We all love different things for different reasons. Ive been given an entire Marvel Cinematic Universe and a modern generation of Star Wars movies. If you love Pokemon as much as I love those things, I hope Detective Pikachu is as great as you want it to be.

When you apply for a title bond, make sure you apply for the correct bond amount. You will not need to pay the full amount of the title bond to get bonded. For example, if you need a $15,000 title bond, you will not need to pay the entire $15,000. Instead, you will just pay a very small portion of that amount.
