This is a thing.
>>25081553
Oh good! Not Pokemon Z!
>>25081553
Not Z. Into the trash it goes.
Finally. I honestly thought it got cancelled.
>>25081553
I could've sworn this was canceled
>>25081553
Holy fucking shit this is hilarious.
Fuck Z, this is everything we could possibly need.
>>25081553
looks_fun
It actually looks kind of good for 3ds, to be quite honest.
>>25081553
>not Z
Oh well, if they work on the game longer, it might save Gen 6. R-right, guys?
>>25081553
>middle age man as pikachu's VA
What the fuck
>>25081553
The kid in the red kind of reminds me of Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh.
>>25081578
When the fuck will you imbeciles understand that its the 20th annivesary and we'll get shitton of games including side games and main games
Its glorious
There was some evil Pikachu mentioned way back when the game was first said to be a thing, right?
>>25081582
As I was watching the trailer I was thinking "Man, it'd be fucking hilarious if that was Pikachu speaking". I'm not disappointed.
>Detective Pikachu actually happened
The absolute madmen.
>>25081578
I hope so, one of the biggest disappointments is that only Your Rival, Lysandre, Sycamore and Flare Grunts/Admins have 3D models while Gym Leaders and Diantha only have sliding Portraits.
I want to see Korrina's disappointed face when beat her Lucarious face in.
>>25081553
I respond to one anon about this being on hold after complete silence for three years, then suddenly, it's announced. Thanks, karma.I wonder how Mega Evolutions will be utilized...Or more importantly, what happened to the "blue Pikachu"?
>It's out next week
Western release when?
>>25081587
Jeez, this post should be sticked in the home of vp where everyone can read it and stop fucking whine.
>>25081553
whoa there nigga. this actually looks like fun.
>>25081553
This looks fucking awesome. Im legit laughing at the entire premise
>>25081600
Summer probably.
The 3 years were spent making the lip syncing look good for Japanese. It's going to look fucking terrible when he's speaking English.
This looks glorious. And for 10 bucks.
I like when they experiment with the franchise, I only hope we can get it the same day as the japs.
I really would love to spend my 10 bucks on this instead of the vc this month.
I fucking love it. It's like they intentionally applied the most bonkers concept possible to Pikachu and made a game out of it.
>deep-voiced detective Pikachu meets a regular Pikachu with Ikue Ohtani's voice
Kek.
>>25081553
It should have been a Looker & Emma spin-off
>mish mash of western and animu style
this is weird
>>25081612
>I only hope we can get it the same day as the japs.
It comes out in a week. We'd know by now.
People will just bitch about the dubbing anyway.
Hahaha I'm so glad. Fuck Z. Honestly the more you entitled cunts whine about Z not being announced the more I want them to put it off.
>>25081621
I'm completely fine with subtitles actually.
>>25081615
I notice this Pikachu is fatter than normal, at least in the face to make it more distinct.
>>25081615
Looks awesome. Day 1pirate
>>25081615
Do you play as Pikachu or the Christopher Robin looking fuck
>>25081622
I don't know why people beg for Z so much anyway, they'll just complain.
>>25081626
NoA would never allow it. They'd skip the game first.
And they will.
Maybe is similar to the Touch Detective games?Please
>>25081622
You know its coming right? Everybody and their grandmas thought Pikachu detective is dead and when its announced its coming out next week.
Pokemon Z is coming, even more so now
This actually looks fun. I hope the game is as promising as the trailer.
>>25081628
Kill yourself.
Seriously.
>>25081622
See
>>25081587
A e-Shop game coming out probably (and sadly) only in Japan and in a week doesn't cancel shit.
Also who really believes that there is not going to be a Z
>>25081585
deliberate
Pikachu as a detective is also in reference to Basil the Great Mouse Detective
A Raticate will be one of the main villains, calling it, cap this shit now mothafucka pow pow pow
>>25081615
You do realize old anime have that look too right?
Now this is podracing
>>25081553
Detective Pikachu voice sounded like a Kamen Rider voice, I don't know.
>>25081621
The reveal for the japs was like 30 minutes ago so they could still announce it for the same day in the rest of the world. Or maybe somewhere along the world, the important thing is that I want to play this curious thing. I like these types of things more than running though a region getting my badges and battling evil teams for the fucking 26th time.
I recognize that voice, but I can't remember who it belongs to.
>>25081650
I wonder why Herdier isn't his assistant. He has the same moustache as the Disney version of Dr. Watson.
>>25081627
Pikachu has always been fat anon. It's "advertisement"chu you're thinking of.
>>25081670
Because Disney's version is wrong.Wattsonshould've been an assistant
>>25081553
Is Game Freak the one developing this one? If so, I'd love to see them use this engine for gen 7.
>>25081553
It has to be pretty shit if its coming out next week without any promo and only on eshop....
>>25081650
>I only seen animes from the 90's
>>25081686
for what purpose? the engine is mainly for rigging pikachu's face
>Pikachu will never pat you on the back for a job well done
>>25081690
Or it's simply a shorter game, if it goes well (and it will) I wouldn't be surprised to see a full flagged sequel.
>>25081654
I can kind of see it
>>25081690
They've been working on this for three years, anon. Yes, it could still be shit but they have had enough time to not make it shit.
>>25081682
That'd be perfect.
>Game is coming out next week
>Trailer doesn't explain how it plays
that instills a lot of confidence
pokemon company has gone full retard this gen

would have been 10/10
>>25081665

It's this guy, did a shitload of stuff. The scientist in Shiki, Rufus Shinra in the FF VII: Advent Children movie and not to forget the narrator in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
>>25081686
Creatures is making it.
>>25081710
Yeah Meowth would fit better imo.
>>25081704
>They've been working on this for three years, anon. Yes, it could still be shit but they have had enough time to not make it shit.
Then why not announce it few months in advance and promote it like crazy? Why eshop only? Its most likley for the youngest audience only
I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this, but it's still better than most of their recent stuff I guess.
>>25081639
>buying digital games
good goy
>Tfw love detective stuff
>Love Pokemon
This game is literally my fetish
So glad it´s not dead.
Western release when?
>that trailer music
Was this game delayed so they could rerecord the soundtrack to sound more like Sherlock?
>>25081712
Thanks anon.
>>25081703
Not that.
I'm generally referring to the shows that are less fantastical. Like those based on literature.
Also there's Sherlock Hound.
>>25081725
>80's anime
>everything is rock and roll
>guys! Pikachu in a detective hat! Literally the only reason we're announcing this shit!
It's good to see they're allocating funds and resources into things that more than just the Japanese children with ADHD care about.
>>25081736
Same here. Marvelous combination.
>>25081709
Mario Galaxy 1 was announced like a month or two before it's actual release and it turned out to be one of the best games in it's generation
chill
Looks cute
>>25081765
so do you
>>25081769
Am I cute, anon?
>>25081566
Somebody add OBJECTION to this

y-you too
>>25081742
god gave rock n roll 2u anon
Would anyone else watch a TV series on Detective Pikachu?
A crime series set in the pokemon world would be interesting as fuck.
>>25081600
It's probably going to be revealed at 10am because that's usually when the Western sites update
>>25081785
not with that CG
>>25081696
>for what purpose?
Because all the 3D games we have now look like ass. A mainline game with an overworld and 3D models like this game's would be GOAT.
>this game was in the works since at least 2013
>mfw a 3-4 hour Detective Pikachu game had more effort put into it than fucking ORAS
>>25081793
>GOAT
But Pikachu's face looks terrible here. At least salivate over something that looks good.
when I heard the music in the trailer it reminded me of Prof. Layton, thought it'd be a crossover...
>not detective Ralts
Enjoy your shit
>Not Detective Plusle
>Not Detective Minun
>Not Detective Pachirisu
>Not Detective Emolga
>Not Detective Dedenne
>Not Detective Gen 7 Electric Rodent
Why.
>>25081806
I'm not talking about the Pikachu face shit, I actually agree with you on that. I'm talking about the people and the other pokemon models like the Trevenant and Murkrow.
>>25081793
You do realize it would be pointless in the mainline game right?
>>25081725
>>>/youtubecomments/
Just fuck off already, retard.
>>25081774
Something like this?
>>25081799
God, the butthurt on display here is GLORIOUS.
>>25081553
But will it get a US release?
>>25081821
If you have no imagination maybe.
When Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright vs pika
>>25081821
Why? A game with a complete 3D overworld would be rad. I mean, it worked for Collesium, just do that but be like the regular games.
Sure, most of the time is spent in battles, but if the over world didn't matter, then why not continue just to use sprites?

there is no way they won't change pikachu's voice to that fucking annoying "PIKA PIIII" in the western release and just subtitle what he says.
>>25081824
Anon you're great
>This game requires 800MB of space (6,400 blocks) to download and is listed on the official site as "Cinematic Adventure Game". It takes place in Rhyme City and you the human character called Tim Goodman who has come to the city for a currently unknown reason. When he meets with Pikachu, the story begins. It is a 1 Player game and has no online or communication features.
>Some Gen V Mons
Have this guy be a relevant character pls
If this game flops, then Pikachu will stop being the new mascot, reminder Ishihara said that this game was created to rise Pikachu's popularity.
can't wait for this 4 hour find the cookie jar game
>Pikachu getting chased by Trevenant
Why did that look so hilarious

Voice acting alone takes up a lot of space.
>>25081832
I mean, at what point would you need a facerig? It's not like the characters would have voiced speaking roles.
Your example? It's a console game. Now a console game spinoff using that, I can agree.

Still mad about Shalour City's pacing are you?
>>25081553
How this will fit in the chronology? I like the concept, tho....I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS. OH GOD THANK YOU, THANK YOU MOOT!
>>25081920
Looks way better than XY and ORAS. You just have a shit taste.
who's the voice actor?!
>>25081934
XY and ORAS doesn't have CG
>>25081937
Hence why they look like shit compared to this
>>25081938
That's like saying sprite mario is shit because it lacks CGI of the 3D mario.
>>25081918
We see a chick give Pikachu a kiss in the trailer
>>25081615
Christopher Robin and Reuben
So who is pikachu kissing with?Is pokephillia allowed now?
>>25081963
Can't unseen. O____o
>>25081874
You say this as if the gen 6 games don't take almost 2 GB of space
>>25081975
Wait, was there a kiss? when?
>>25081976
>O____o
stop posting
>>25081984
yeah but that's because they store high poly models of 721 pokemon
>>25081840
It would at least make sense if the VA for his high pitched English voice did the voice acting.
>>25081989
Make me.
>>25081956
Both XY/ORAS and Detective Pikachu are 3D games though, so there is no excuse
>>25081849
I'd love that!
what if this game was set during the time of the nazi''s i bet magikarp would have been a fucking jew
>>25081987
He gets kissed on the cheek by this human girl.
>>25082008
OMFG, Pikachu is really, REALLY fat. He need to go the gym or something idk.

I bet 90% of the Pokémon have under 500 polygons. Which if you know abou the world of game models, that's nothing.
>>25081840
>>25081591

>>25082002
One doesn't have a focus on CGI scenes though.
I mean I get your point, but on a game that is "cinematic adventure" it SHOULD need a good CGI.
>>25082035
According to datamining, they're barely downscaled HD models with 1 million+ polygons each. They're the reason the game lags during battle and they made them so that they can be used in future gens without having to make them from scratch.
>721 pokemon
>48 mega evolutions
>STILL focusing on Pikachu for a game
>>25082035
No.
They actually have hi-res, hi-polygon models. They use it in Gen VI games. The thing is they poorly optimized it.
>>25082056
Gee, it's almost like Pikachu is not the most popular pokemon worldwide since the nineties.
>>25082072
>mfw GameFreak can't make Mega Pikachu so they had to make TWO Charizards, TWO Mewtwos, and a bunch of Pikachu costumes to make up for it
>Mega Pikachu can never be a thing because even GameFreak isn't that hypocritical

>>25081553
Honestly, it doesn't look terrible. I like puzzle games, too, so I might get it.
>>25081553
>That cgi
Christ
Now that I think about it, Ikue Ohtani can't do adultish male voice.
>>25081577
What happens on 2/29? The game is pulled from the eshop?
I agree with Joe, it's nice to see spinoffs that aren't sequels.
>>25082184
discount, notice the price difference
>Pikachu running on its hindlegs
literally no gameplay shown. I love Layton and Ace attorney, but this looks like a shitty ass telltale game. Pikachu's voice is pretty good though
>>25081553
im so fking tired of this kind of shit
new game when?
Guys, guys, don't be pessimistic. This would mean, Z will come next or whatever main series they are planning to release.
We already have PMD, Pokken, and now this Detective Pikachu that we heard of. It's only a matter of time before we get another main series.
>>25081615
I get a Studio Gibili thing going on with it. Because this shit reminds so much of Porco Rosso.
>>25082035
And i can confirm you're fucking retarded.
Skitty alone has around 5000. Kill yourself.
>>25082212
>cinematic adventure game

>>25082229
Only retards would think there wouldn't be a new mainline game.
Nice it actually came back
I'm a sucker for mystery games so I'll be looking forward to it
That trainer design is being more noticably used
First Pokken tournament now here
Possible new Z trainer?
What does this remind you of, aibou/partner? A puzzle.
But detective, we don't have time for fucking puzzles. And you're a rat.
>>25082216
NEVER
>>25081553
I didn't know that I wanted this.
But I really want this now!
I'm a fan of both pokémon and detective stories and I even write mystery novels, but I never thought that I would see the day when the two things would combine!
GLORIOUS.
>>25081615
Still waiting on that Don Bluth pokemon movie.That image really makes me want a high budget western pokemon animated movie
I'm so used to Ikue Ohtani this fucking hard-boiled manly man voice is throwing me for a goddamn loop

Is this fucking canon? Like, why can Pikachu talk? Is this some Hocus Pocus Pokemon Bullshit? Is he a human? Why does that boy have an actual nose?
WHATS THE GAMEPLAY LIKE?
>>25082376
The roster is already full of shit and Gen l/ Gen lll pandering, l'm amazed we don't have Pikaclones already considering Tekken had a clone fetish

They don't usually feel the need to put in effort for the demographic they're aiming towards.
>>25081999
It's the same actor for both Japan and America, you can really BS that.
Am I the only one who doesn't want Z and hope they don't make it? I would rather they work on new games instead of re-release an existing game I already beat with a small handful of new mega evolutions and one or two more legendaries.
Personally, I would be happy if they completely stopped doing the whole "third game that has both the concept of both previous games combined and some extras" thing. I never got around to playing Black/White because I was waiting for what I assumed was the inevitable Grey.
>>25082405
The butthurt is strong is the one. Go be autistic somewhere else.

>>25082369
>minor detective game
70% of the game is spent digging for evidence, speaking to witnesses and looking up clues. You literally do the detective's work better than the actual, incompetent detective
