On August 8, fans were treated to a brand new trailer for Nintendo's upcoming game, Detective Pikachu Returns, at the Pokémon Presents event. Alongside new footage, the trailer provided more insight into the storyline so fans know what to expect.
We saw the game's first trailer back in June, alongside a description. Between the two trailers and the description, we now have a pretty good idea of what Detective Pikachu Returns has in store for us once it's finally released.
The description reads, "Unravel a series of mysteries across Ryme City with a tough-talking, coffee-loving Pikachu and his human partner, Tim Goodman. When a jewel theft occurs, the case sets this great detective duo down a path filled with mystery."
The job of a detective is to provide answers to questions, and Detective Pikachu Returns asks some tough ones. The description continues, "Why did Tim's father, Harry, go missing? What is causing the Pokémon-related incidents around Ryme City? Answer these questions and more by searching for clues, investigating scenes, and using your case notebook to make deductions."
From initial looks, it seems the game will toe a different line from the live-action film released in 2019. In the film, Tim has lost his mother but in Detective Pikachu returns, his mother is alive and well. The game also has Pokémon that we didn't see in the 2019 film.
