In the Pokémon games and anime, Mr. Mime is slightly unsettling. But in the upcoming Hollywood movie, the character is freaky.

Six years ago, artist RJ Palmer started drawing Pokémon as though they were realistic dinosaurs. Those sketches, done for fun, led to him getting the job of a lifetime: working on the Detective Pikachu movie, which we got our first real look at today.

The Detective Pikachu movie finally has a trailer and it’s some pretty wild stuff. There’s tons of hairy Pokémon, and also Ryan Reynolds.

I don’t have many strong feelings about Pokémon, but I felt a strange chill come over me as I watched a hyper-realistic looking Pikachu speak with Deadpool’s voice. OK, I thought, we’re doing this. We’re actually doing this. Which is apparently how the rest of the internet felt, torn between amusement and existential dread. Also, fan art!

I’m not sure how to feel about Ryan Reynolds turning Pikachu into a gritty, snarky detective, and in fact this first trailer fills me with all sorts of insane mixed emotions, but I do know that Detective Pikachu, which comes to theatres next winter, will be a must-see.

Right now, the Pokebuzz is all about the live-action Detective Pikachu movie starring Ryan Reynolds — but, as the kids like to say, you don’t just catch one. You catch them all. The first English-language look has arrived for the latest Pokemon animated flick, Pokemon the Movie: The Power of Us, which is coming to the US for special screenings.

Shots have started to hit the internet from the set of the Detective Pikachu live-action movie. And my, are they something.

While Ash's Pikachu adores ketchup, Detective Pikachu loves coffee. In a recent interview, the game's creators explained why.

Nintendo may be keeping the 3DS on life support at this point, but there are still reasons to boot up the handheld console. Detective Pikachu, released in Australia last week, makes an especially compelling case for any fans of Pokémon who want to learn a bit more about the world of pocket monsters.

Production has started for the Detective Pikachu movie. If you are wondering what the final film will look like, we don't yet know. These set photos, however, might be hints at what to expect.

The 3DS game Detective Pikachu is coming to the West in March, The Pokemon Company said today, and with it comes a giant Amiibo that's nearly double the size of a standard Pikachu.

Detective Pikachu may be getting an international release to tie in with its live-action adaptation.

When it was originally announced that a Great Detective Pikachu movie got the greenlight, fans thought Danny DeVito would be the perfect choice for the character. Hollywood, however, had someone else in mind.

Remember how weird it seemed last year that a live-action Hollywood movie based on Detective Pikachu was getting made? Welcome to 2017, where Ryan Reynolds is in the movie. As Pikachu.

Will it ever actually get made and hit the big screen? Who knows. But a deal has at least been made, with Legendary Pictures and Nintendo agreeing to make a live-action Pokemon movie.

Three things you need to know going in about Detective Pikachu: 1) It's not hard. 2) It's not long. 3) Detective Pikachu himself makes the whole thing worth playing.

There are crimes afoot in the world of Pokemon, and only Detective Pikachu and his plucky human sidekick have any chance to solve the case!

GandaKris makes custom Amiibo. She's made some excellent pieces over the last few months, but none so wonderful as this Detective Pikachu.

Video: If you needed proof of this magic combo, Tealhollow1 on YouTube has created a hilarious video demonstrating why Nintendo should get behind this idea.
