So this will be on the shorter side of things, but I have thoughts after seeing Detective Pikachu. Unfortunately though, some are a bit spoilery and I really didn’t want to do a full spoiler filled review just for these. Instead I decided to do a little short side thing, bringing up a few questions/ thoughts I have from the movie. So let’s get started
First I have to
wonder, what happened to the giant Torterra now that this movie is over with?
These things were shown to be huge, and around the size of mountains. Do they
just get put in a medically induced coma? Are we going to get Torterra vs
Godzilla? Just how far away from civilization are they even, because that seems
pretty dangerous if they ever get out. Just like the Greninja. These things
were enhanced and were out to kill. What happens with them now? I wonder if
they will get fixed and brought back to normal somehow or if that is even possible.
Next, Mewtwo left
Kanto twenty years ago, if I remember correctly, so does that mean it was
created and immediately broke free and left? Did it still go to the Cerulean
Cave? It’s a minor thing, but I really am curious about Mewtwo's past in this.
Which brings me to my next point.
In every medium,
Team Rocket was responsible for creating Mewtwo. Does this means Team Rocket
exists in this universe? What about the other villain teams? I think that would
be pretty interesting. I also wonder if maybe one of the people working in the
lab to experiment on Mewtwo in this maybe worked with Team Rocket. Maybe even
some tech was stolen from Bill in Kanto to allow the mind transfer. Bill did
become a Pokemon at one point. So it is possible.
Not something I
wonder, and not even something fully about the movie, but I love what has
happened with Ditto. In the anime, one Ditto was a failure and couldn’t change its
face to match whatever it was copying. Just one. Yet now, it is just the thing
for Ditto. They all have that goofy face when transformed. I love it. Looks a
bit terrifying in live action though. Kind of reminded me of the button eye
thing from Coraline honestly.
I know the movie is
based off from the video game of the same name, but I can’t help but wonder if
this connects to the main game series at all. I swear in one scene, we see a
trainer that looks a bit like Red. Maybe Mewtwo had all of this happen, then
went back to Kanto and lived in Cerulean Cave. It also seems to follow the
Pokemon game lore a bit more than anything else.
My final point and
the one that has led to me creating my own headcanon that I am sticking to.
Does the Pokemon anime exist in this universe? We see that the card game exists
which is one thing, but we also most importantly hear the theme song multiple
times. In addition to that, we see multiple items such as posters and the
balloons, but they are in the style of the anime and not the more realistic
style of the movie. So this makes me believe that the anime does exist, but not
just as a show for entertainment, but for educational purposes. Maybe the show
is meant to take kids on an adventure, showing them the different Pokemon and
regions. Ash isn’t meant to always be the best trainer. He is just meant to
show people what the world of Pokemon has to offer. It could teach them how to
be friendly to Pokemon, show them the gym leaders and even teach them the
dangers of the villainous teams. Then we have the movies to teach them about
the different legendary Pokemon. I don’t know, I just like the idea.
In the end, all I’m
doing is thinking way too much about a movie meant for kids. Does that mean
these aren’t interesting things to wonder about though? No, not at all.
Honestly if they make a second one, I would love to see all of this expanded
on. Guess only time will tell as we explore more of the world of Pokemon.
