Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (2019)

[pokemonruby]

i honestly have no idea what they’ll showcase in the presents tomorrow other than potential release dates for scvi’s dlc (at least the teal mask since fall is imminent) and that mewtwo tera raid that they accidentally leaked which is more than likely what the emphasis on the “m” was referring to (apologies mystery dungeon fans) but like, who knows. 35 minutes seems very long for a pokemon direct so we might get surprised?

sometimes i go thru my gallery and am like! oh i forgot i made that!

and its detective pikawhite

A little edit I made a while ago. Mewtwo's design in DP doesn't seem too bad to me but I really don't like how they made his head XD

My edit:

I stopped playing Pokémon Stadium because it stopped being fun and have now moved on to replaying Detective Pikachu. I've only been playing an hour and I'm already remembering how much of a delight this game is

Detective Pikachu

i don't feel like posting anything about go2, partially because i don't want to spoil my friends and idk if they have the tags blocked, and partially because i don't want people with stronger opinions than me sending me shit. but anyways i have been loving your commentary and thoughts, and you seem like the right audience for me to say: yo can we also discuss how like, it's heavily implied that angel!crowley was an archangel and even a "prince of heaven," and thus he knows from personal experience that you can't change it from the inside like aziraphale thinks he can, like he already went through that. idk i just loved all the hints and implications about crowley's status in heaven and i am not seeing as many people comment on that bit, meanwhile i'm like detective pikachu with a magnifying glass over here. anyhoodles i thought it was a beautifully done and fun season that ended in a way that, while painful in the moment, makes sense for the characters and story and will provide a far more satisfying conclusion at the end. that is all

wait wait wait I noticed that too (crowley being implied to being an archangel) especially in the scene where crowley is watching the footage in heaven because he 1. had the security clearance to watch something extremely confidential and 2. when michael wonders if he will fall the others are like ‘no of course not we already did that to once and if we do it twice it’ll look bad. I also can’t stop thinking about how crowley canonically fell bc he asked questions, and most angels wouldn’t ever have the chance to voice their opinions and have it actually be heard UNLESS they were high ranking. it’s probably why crowley got all the big jobs (job, jesus, etc)

edit: someone said the fallen angel was probably lucifer not crowley which. oops!! didnt go to sunday school! but the argument stands

I feel so sure Max and Chloe are returning next game. It's why I don't have a lot of the fears I see other Pricefield fans having, like fearing Alex and Steph are replacing Max and Chloe I've seen in some parts of the fandom. I also like chenrich, but that aside, I'm not worried or believe that is happening. I just have a feeling Max and Chloe are coming back in a big way. A feeling that's only grown stronger since sanshee revealed they had new pricefield merch coming, then saying it was delayed until 2024, when we are due for a new trailer. And the ice cream collab with tsun scoops... and Lis nearing the ten year anniversary... I just feel something is coming. Will my hope be misplaced? Or will my feeling be right? I think this is the year I have my answer. And maybe very soon. Editing to add: As if I didn't need more signs, they just updated the mobile versions of Life is Strange and Before the Storm! They haven't updated these in years. 5 for bts, 3 for Life is Strange according to the version history. Could this all mean something? It may just be because Lis is nearing ten years they're planning you know, a celebration, some merch releases, maybe a sale of the remastered and they want to make sure their mobile versions are up to date. But like... what if they also know they're about to announce a new game with Max and Chloe and that's why this merch is coming, the collab is happening, and they suddenly updated the mobile versions after years? I am becoming Detective Pikachu, and things feel twisty, very twisty...

Just wanna adds some more pics for the Trans Merloch Icons!

Rain Code X Pokémon

Quick edit I did of the whole Nocturnal Detective Agency with their Pokémon partners. In this AU every person can only have one main teammate rather than a whole team of 6. Idk I feel it's far more fitting and appropriate for this type of scenario. Makes things less complicated too.

Honestly rather than using them for typical stuff like battle, I think it’d be cool to have detectives have Pokemon to aid them with their cases. Naturally, there’s a couple of psychic types, but I just think the idea of detectives working with a Pokemon companion is just cool. And their partners can have special skills or abilities to aid them like their Fortes.

Everyone in this world only has one partner. Includes the antagonists. No exceptions.

NDA Teams:

Yuma and Eevee- Coalescence and Insight

Yakou and Tangela- No Forte (they just chill)

Desuhiko and Pikachu- Disguise and Power Control

Halara and Meowstic- Postcognition and Mind Reading

Fubuki and Celebi- Time Leap and Time Stop

Vivia and Spiritomb- Spectral Projection and Spirtual Absorption

Kurumi and Minccino- Information Gathering and Item Gathering

RainCode Endgame Spoilers Below

Post Game:

Also yes I do ship Yuma and Kurumi.

The ex-top detective of the WDO and his homunculus informant assistant. (their fully evolved Pokémon are also quite friendly with each other too!)

As Vivia said; They'd make a great team ^-^

I pray for a sequel where they'll find each other again...

Okay, some careful poking on where Act V starts suggests that the IV/V transition is also in the Fortress, so I can play Act IV without worrying about it interfering with other quests, either.... Time to go! \o/

I gotta say, though, all this investigating in the Fortress has been a lot less interesting to me gameplay-wise than the investigation gameplay in the first arc. :/ I want to play Detective Pikachu: Genshin Edition again....

I just saw a vid edit on bilibili where Di Feisheng and Li Lianhua are still the same but they replaced Fang Duobing with Detective Pikachu AKHSGJWSGHJA

okay so i just steamrolled thru detective pikachu returns over the past 2 days because i was sick and had nothing else better to do and right after finishing it i went into the tags and WOWIE the negative reception is very large!! i do understand and even agree with some of it but i just felt the need to get my own thoughts down (again. sick with nothing better to do) so take a peek under readmore for very typical elongated halo ramblings about his fave video game series

for the record i never played the first game (only watched a few clips of it on youtube even) but i did go see the movie in theaters. just figured i'd mention this ahead of time so my favoritism is known and to prevent myself from coming off as a perfectly unbiased reviewer

BEWARE THE SPOILERS BTW

(post-editing note: it be long under here, you have been warned)

to start off YEAG this game is not worth 50 bucks! the story's pacing is all over the place and is very basic, the graphics are not particularly well refined, the characters' expressions do not fluctuate as much as they should (professor gordon in particular ;-; i felt so bad for him), and the voice acting outside of merloch and detective pikachu himself are kinda phoned in! it felt like an early 2000s 4kids dub for real. even the gameplay aspects themselves were rather meh in presentation; the button hitboxes were annoying to deal with and as cool as i thought the "main" mechanics were they were incredibly clunky and the tension they tried to build up in the "solving the case" climaxes was just Not It. there was absolutely no reason for the loading/pauses to take that long

(the pokemon gimmicks were okay tho. i would die for growlithe)

however, this isn't a problem specific to this game. while i enjoyed scarlet it was definitely not 60 bucks material (and when i went back to it for the teal mask i even went "good lord, did it always run this badly?"). i gotta give credit to detective pikachu, at least this game ran properly for the most part and never crashed on me lmao

while that doesn't negate the criticisms i previously mentioned i simply wanted to say that this is going to be a problem for as long as pokemon keeps making money. this isn't me finger-wagging at anyone in particular (i certainly have no room to talk, i did say i liked scarlet), i just wanted to say: yeah, pokemon has been A Mess

"but halo!" you cry. "you talked like the negative reception was overblown! what gives the giant negative paragraph??"

because much like scarlet, i still really enjoyed this game sdfjnsdk. how can i say that with confidence, though, when i largely agree that there were many, many issues to be had with its performance?

the word of the day: expectations

and perhaps this is where my bias comes into it. whenever i play a spinoff game (like snap or pokepark for instance), i don't really go into it for mindblowing gameplay and stories, i do it for the same reason this series has kept me enraptured for over a decade of my life:

the pokemon themselves!!

there are SO MANY little things that the regular games don't go into, and while i have my own headcanons and OCs i can play off of, it is so much fun to see actual canon material acknowledge certain things you've only ever theorized about!!

the whimsicott were so fun to watch float around, the article asking where a furret's tail began and ended made me laugh out loud, the fact that they went hard into the "slowpoke tails are eaten as food" thing, and the "let's not get into that right now" jokes about venonat hunting other pokemon and dusknoir eating souls LIKE. i LOVE when pokemon goes into its more "serious" aspects. i know main series games do it too occasionally but outside of offhanded mentions or pokedex entries, do they go this hard into them? if they do and i'm just stupid pls tell me about it i'll eat that shit up

being reminded of less-talked-about pokemon is always a plus and how can you not pop off when you see one of your faves included in the story? (INTELEON AND WOOPER I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES 4 U) it's simply fun immersing yourself into the world of pokemon and getting a glimpse of what it would be like to have pokemon walking down the street and how that affects everyday life! maybe the story is basic, but it served its purpose and i had fun going along with it!

perhaps it's just my mental illness talking, but walking around and seeing all the pokemon and THEN doing the quiz girl's quizzes was actually kinda nice! even if the puzzles weren't that hard, i can't lie and say i didn't pump my fist when i guessed where the mystery was going like with cramorant swallowing the jewel or how the passimian statues needed to hold different berries. overall, i just enjoyed being reminded of how much i know and what i love about this series

also, the ways they incorporated the movie were pretty baller. i liked how they didn't just do a repeat of the mewtwo plot from the movie and let me tell you, even tho i called it early on, i liked that my suspicions about the aurora drop being deoxys were confirmed!! (i suppose it's not that hard to guess bcs what other pokemon comes from space, but i just recently finished playing omega ruby again and i normally don't think about deoxys a lot so LET ME HAVE THIS)

plus "i heard they made a movie about the R case" MADE ME SCREAM. i thought they were just going to ignore the movie and do their own thing but then they DID THAT. incredible. you can call my expectations low (which is valid) but holy fuck

so the TLDR for those who want this: if you want a sweet but cliche game exploring the world of pokemon with a lot of funny moments + worldbuilding, then this game is perfect for you. if you want a game with a groundbreaking story with graphics to boot, then yeah, you're not gonna find it here. i've even seen people say their own nostalgia of the original spinoff wasn't enough to get them to enjoy this game, so take my words with a grain of salt

i would say just watch compilations of the game on youtube, but not every youtuber is gonna go fully exploring the game for all of its little details, so if you care about that kind of stuff, buying the game is your best bet. also if you don't care about that kind of stuff then you should just ignore the game altogether etc etc anYwAY

as for a TLDR for the TLDR: new pokemon snap is goated and i would say a more enjoyable experience than this game esp if you didn't like it so PLEASE buy it the game's only 30 bucks and you can throw treats at pokemon PLEASE it has so many sidequests and interactions you can partake in PLEASE i prommy i won't bite PLEASE stick your fingers in my enclosure PLEASE PLEASE PLE
