The Pokemon Company International Unveils 'Pokemon Detective Pikachu' Movie Merchandise

London, UK -January 17, 2019-The Pokemon Company International today unveiled an extensive line of products inspired by the highly anticipated movie "POKEMON Detective Pikachu" from Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Entertainment, and The Pokemon Company, arriving in theaters beginning May 8, 2019, in Europe. Before the movie, fans can look forward to new Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) collections, action figures and interactive plush from Wicked Cool Toys, and more.

All items in the line are inspired by the movie, which begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes missing amid mysterious circumstances, prompting his son Tim to investigate what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokemon partner, Detective Pikachu: a wisecracking, adorable super-sleuth. Chasing clues together through Ryme City, where humans and Pokemon live side by side, they encounter a diverse cast of Pokemon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful coexistence. The movie is already generating significant buzz, with a widely viewed trailer and an all-star cast including Ryan Reynolds as the voice of the title character.

"Pokemon is a global entertainment franchise that has delighted its fans with video games, trading cards, animation, and soon, live-action movies with the upcoming 'POKEMON Detective Pikachu,'" said Colin Palmer, vice president of marketing for The Pokemon Company International. "The merchandise line we've developed for the Pokemon Trading Card Game, as well as the amazing selection of licensed toys and more celebrates this remarkable milestone for the brand and is sure to delight Pokemon fans of all ages."
