The Pokémon Company has announced a Detective Pikachu game for Nintendo Switch. The game will be developed by Creatures Inc. and is promised to conclude to story of the original 3DS Detective Pikachu game, which ended on a cliffhanger.The information was revealed at the Pokémon 2019 Press Conference in Tokyo and simultaneously published on the official Pokémon Twitter account.
The 3DS Detective Pikachu was a spinoff of the main Pokémon line, focusing more on narrative storytelling. The exact details of the Switch game haven't been revealed yet, but it was made clear that it's a continuation to the first game instead of being a continuation or adaptation of the recent movie of the same name.
That being said, The Pokémon Company emphasized that those who enjoyed the movie could turn to the video game to enjoy more of the talking Pikachu's adventures. Both the game and the movie follow a crime-solving, talking Pikachu and a boy named Tim Goodman solving mysteries together.
