We are getting a Pokemon movie.
And it may not be as weird as it sounds. I mean Pokemon might be the largest franchise ever with comics, games, TV shows, toys, animated movies, and even a live touring musical.
So it makes perfect sense that they would want to make a movie. The weirdest thing about this however, is that Ryan Reynolds will be starring as Detective Pikachu. No, I am not making this up.
You see, the movie takes place in the world of Pokemon and tells the story of Smith’s father being kidnapped and Detective Pikachu taking the case.
Pokemon fans however are very curious about this whole movie.

Although what fans are sure about is that they want a Deadpool-Pokemon cross-over.

This does mean one thing though, Danny Davito didn’t get the part.

I’m so upset….
This is the worst news of the year….
Danny Devito will not be voicing Detective Pikachu in the Detective Pikachu Movie…

Boycotting the pikachu movie because it's not Danny Devito so what's the fucking point

And fans are not happy about that at all.

It is never too late for that!
Look, we all love Ryan Reynolds, but is it too early to start a GoFundMe to have Danny DeVito record all of Pikachu's lines as an alt voice track?
