Trivia
The seventh Warner Bros.' live-action/CGI hybrid film, after Scooby-Doo (2002), Canguru Jack
(2003), Scooby-Doo 2: Monstros à Solta (2004), Zé Colmeia: O Filme (2010), Paddington
(2014), and Paddington 2 (2017). See more »

Goofs
In one scene, Tim mentions something about "Greninjas being set free." The plural form of a
Pokemon is the same as the singular form, so he should have seen the "Greninja were being
set free." Other characters in the movie get this right. See more »

Quotes
Detective Pikachu: Should I talk about the fact that your childhood bed is a Pikachu bed?
Tim Goodman: It's a coincidence.
Detective Pikachu: I've never been so flattered and creeped out at the same time.

Crazy Credits
The closing credits appear in a sequence of manga/anime images of events/characters from

Detective Pikachu, I Was Really Disappointed ( Score 5.9/10 ⭐)
11 May 2019 | by ymyuseda – See all my reviews

First of all, i was pretty excited to watch this movie. After i watched the movie, i'm so
disappointed. I don't understand the hype that this movie has been receiving and i surely don't
understand the reviews praising it. Good effect but very lousy story. Nevertheless, they were
still entertaining. Go watch it, if you're a hardcore fan of pokemon. Pikaa Pikaaa !!!
