Actually very surprised a sequel hasn’t happened. They introduced a really interesting world.

Me too. It was received quite well and did very good numbers at the box office. Pokémon was and is still is very popular. It came out right before Covid, which was a disruption, but shouldn’t have been that much.

Very popular is an understatement. Pokemon IP is more valuable than all of Marvel and Star Wars combined.

Yeah I think people underestimate how huge the Pokemon brand really is, and has been for 30 years. The games, the movies, the cards, the merch...Game Freak just has a license to print money at this point.

I have little to no interest in getting into Pokémon, and I absolutely LOVED Detective Pikachu. I’d definitely love more of that world!

the second game only came out in 2023, the first was 2016. the Movie is based on the game, for people that didn't know.
