Every live-action Pokémon in the new “Detective Pikachu trailer, in the order they appear
Warner Bros. Pictures recently released the first trailer for the upcoming “Detective Pikachu” movie — starring no less than “Deadpool’s” Ryan Reynolds — giving us our first look at how the creatures will be brought to life alongside live actors.
The two minute trailer is chock full of hidden Pokémon and fun nods to the games that inspired the film.
In “Detective Pikachu” and the Pokémon games, Pokémon live alongside humans in place of animals, making them a common sight on city streets and in nature.
But with more than 800 Pokémon to keep track of, recognizing all of them can be a chore. Luckily we’ve done the extra work to slow the trailer down and see just how many were brought to life in the trailer. I counted no less than 20 live Pokémon, and even more can be seen on ads and billboards in the background. Here they are, in the order they appear.
Scene 1 – Ryme City
The trailer’s opening seconds feature more Pokémon than any other scene as we’re introduced to Ryme City, a location lifted straight from the “Detective Pikachu” game. While several of the flying Pokémon can’t be clearly identified, I counted at least 8 monsters in this scene alone.
Mr. Mime is one of the original 151 Pokémon — and certainly one of the weirdest.
The “Detective Pikachu” trailer is stuffed full of Pokémon with just two minutes of runtime, and much of what we see in the background of Ryme City suggests that we’ll be seeing many, many more when the film releases next year. With more than 800 different species of Pokémon to chose from, Warner Bros. has plenty of options.
