Storyline
The story begins when ace detective Harry
Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to
find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former
Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking,
adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that
they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and
Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled
mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme
City--a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side
by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world--they encounter a diverse
cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could
destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon
universe.

Trivia
Justice Smith was the first person confirmed to be a part of this movie. Smith's character in Paper Towns (2015) sang the Pokémon theme song in a strip mall scene, after Smith and his co-star, Halston Sage, suggested it. 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: Harry faked his own death... or someone else faked Harry's death... or Harry faked someone else's death. Wait, that last one doesn't work, does it?See more »
