Detective Pikachu Returns is coming to Nintendo Switch this week! For those who have never played it, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have released a brand new trailer summarizing the original game. In less than two minutes, the trailer discusses Pikachu’s partnership with Tim Goodman and their efforts to find Harry, who is both Pikachu’s old partner and Tim’s father. It also reveals how the two were able to solve the mystery surrounding R, the chemical that drove Pokemon crazy.
The new Detective Pikachu Returns trailer can be found below!
The trailer is the same one The Pokemon Company showed during its recent announcement of the game. During this preview, a case from the game was shown, although it seemed to have little connection to the overall mystery of Harry’s disappearance. That said, things in the original Detective Pikachu often seemed unrelated to the overall narrative, but then connected in a way that didn’t seem obvious at first. We’ll likely see this trend in the new installment as Pikachu and Tim continue their search for Harry.

Detective Pikachu Returns : Game vs. Movie
The original Detective Pikachu game became the inspiration for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu , a live-action film. In this movie, Pikachu and Tim are on a similar mission to discover what happened to Harry Goodman. However, at the end of the film, it is revealed that Harry and Pikachu actually reunited, and the two were separated by Mewtwo.
The Pokemon Company has hinted that things will play out differently in the game than in the live-action film, and it’s possible that Harry’s fate will be different in Detective Pikachu Returns . The game’s director, Yasunori Yanagisawa, has expressed his desire to follow Detective Pikachu Returns with a potential third game.
The game will have a nice cutoff point with Tim and Detective Pikachu’s story, but there is a desire to expand on Detective Pikachu’s story.
– Yanagisawa said.
When is the premiere?
Detective Pikachu Returns will be released on Nintendo Switch on October 6. The game is one of two major Pokemon releases this year, alongside Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Expansion Pass . The first half of the DLC was titled The Teal Mask and was released last month. The second half, The Indigo Disk , will arrive at some point before the end of 2023. Unfortunately, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have yet to reveal a set release date, but with 2023 quickly approaching its end, Pokemon fans should know more soon!
