Let's shop 'Detective Pikachu': Best deals on Pokémon toys and gifts for fans of all ages
Detective Pikachu, in theaters May 10, stars our favorite Pokémon characters as we've never seen them: live-action, three-dimensional and in the case of Pikachu, voiced by Ryan Reynolds. The mystery-noir film is set in Ryme City, where Pokémon and humans live side-by-side, and where Pikachu teams up with former Pokémon trainer Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) to solve the case of his father's disappearance. It may not be the brightly-colored cartoon that longtime fans were expecting, but the world of Detective Pikachu has its own charms — and its own irresistible merchandise. Here, a Pokémon shopping guide for fans young and old, from extravagant fan-made jewelry to a life-sized plush Detective Pikachu.
Detective Pikachu videogame
Curious how Pikachu became a sleuth? Here's the Nintendo 3DS adventure game that started it all. Players take on the role of Tim Goodman, who must solve the disappearance of his father in Ryme City. Fortunately, a tough-talking Pikachu is there to help find clues, interrogate other Pokémon, investigate crime scenes and ultimately crack the case. The Detective Pikachu game is recommended by Common Sense Media for ages 7 and up.
