    A shadowed figure, with the shape of Detective Pikachu.

    “Ditto” it says.

    Detective Pikachu: Who’s that Pokemon?!

    Random Cop shines flashlight and says: Detective, it’s you!

    (Other Detective pikachu has gross Ditto eyes)

    In the criminal justice system, Poké-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Kanto, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Squirtle Victims Unit. These are their stories…

    So in this universe I’m assuming that Detective Pikachu is on the trail of the killer of not only Ash and Misty, but also Jesse, James, and Meowth. Trying desperately to figure out who set them up, just after Team Rocket had declared a truce.

    I have never seen a single episode of the show, so I dunno if that even makes sense.

      Detective Pikachu exists in a completely different canon to the anime

      Oooh, Detective Pikachu - Rated R.

      A gritty, bleak, neo-film-noir take on a grizzled, aged, jaded Pikachu who just needs to finish his work before he can pass on - his duty keeps him alive.

      Opening scene - Black and White.

      We enter an alleyway, slicked down with rain, with clearly muddy debris visible under the surface of the water in foot prints as characters pass.

      The camera pans up, to a victim. The gore, the blood, the entrails, the brains… All vividly rendered in color against a monochrome background.

      Zoom into Pikachu’s eyes. He squints for a moment, takes a drag off his non-filtered cigarette, closes his eyes for a moment as he inhales, and tosses the butt into the alley gutter.

      Opening credits roll.

        I thought it was going to suddenly cut to the kid friendly anime.

        Like all these pokemon are living very adult lives, surrounded by homocide, rape, and pokemon trafficing.

        Then suddenly Ash shows up and he’s like PIKACHU! You can’t smoke! Silly Pikachu! I choose you!

        And pikachu is like PIKA PIKA! PIKACHU!

        And it’s the cheery colorful kid friendly world like you see on the official anime.

        Then it cuts back to the dark gritty style, and Ash is just standing there, drooling, saying “pika pika pikachuuuuuu!!!”

        The only reason the pokemon only say their own name on the show is because you’re seeing it through Ash’s eyes. But Ash’s mom was assaulted when she was pregnant, and that’s why she never leaves the house.

        So pikachu is trying to explain to Ash how it’s dangerous out here, and he shouldn’t be here alone. But Ash is essentially a special needs kid, so none of that absorbs. He just hears pikachu saying his own name.
