Spin Off Objection! The Pokémon detective duo has appeared!

Sorry, I can't resist that reference.

Anyway, apparently it's just announced that there will be a new spin-off called "Detective Pikachu! ~Birth of a New Duo~", where you play as a Detective who has Pikachu in it. Together, they're solving any kind of happenings that occurred around them! It's listed on the official site as puzzle solving "Cinematic Adventure Game".

Are you looking forward to this latest spin-off and solving crimes together with this duo?

Wasn't this something that was talked about a few years back?

At any rate, I would love to play this game. Hopefully it comes out internationally. Also it's too funny watching Pikachu actually speaking Japanese instead of "Pika Pika" and yelling at the screen in a little sherlock hat.

I just saw the trailer and I honestly thought it was something else (relating to 20th aniversary) but wow they made a detective pikachu game. Sounds like fun, especially since pikachu actually talks xD

Heard about this a while back, but woah this is weird... *throws money at screen*
So what you guys think this is going to be like a professor layton game? I'm buying (it's for wiiu, right?)

I think the Detective Pikachu game is set to be on Nintendo 3DS, though, and talking Pikachu amuses me at some point, he looks stern enough for a detective. I almost forgot that they used to showcase some demos regarding Detective Pika back then in about 3 years ago, I'm glad this comes to fruition soon.

I didn't watch the trailer until now. It seems weird, but cool. I hope it comes to the west, and if it comes I hope I'll be able to buy and play it haha.

(it's for wiiu, right?)

It'll be only for 3DS for what I know.

I saw the trailer and I seriously can't wait for that game to come out in English *-* that Pikachu is so cute and it will be so weird when he starts speaking English like a normal person. It won't be just a talking Meowth anymore, it will be a talking Pikachu, too
