As we can see from the film’s Instagram these posters (seen below) are quite creative. The first shows the silhouettes of Detective Pikachu and Tim running along a path shaped like Pikachu’s tail, while the second features a silhouetted Pikachu (magnifying glass and hat in check) against the moonlight. The third and arguably the most eye-catching of these posters is a chalk-like sketch of Pikachu tipping his deerstalker over his eyes (seemingly as a *tip-of-the-hat* to Pokemon protagonist Ash Ketchum, who did a similar pose in the anime) surrounded by missing Pokemon posters: one for a Squirtle and one for what looks to be a Jigglypuff:
It will certainly be interesting seeing the Pokemon world come to life on-screen, but these posters are leaning in the right direction, going off the nostalgia that many people have for the series. Here’s hoping the film delivers upon its release.
