The game revolves around a talking Pikachu that dons a detective’s cap and works with a young boy to solve mysteries. The trailer promises plenty of intrigues and clever scenarios. Nintendo is calling the game a cinematic adventure. Players will work together with the dapper electric mouse to solve puzzles and catch criminals.

This isn’t the first Pokรฉmon spinoff, but it certainly is one of the strangest. Nintendo put out Pokemon Snap on N64, Pokemon Dash for Nintendo DS, and Hey You, Pikachu! for N64, just to name a few. The company has brought the critter catching series in many different directions, but this may be its darkest.
