New Pikachu Spin-Off Announced

NHK has finished airing and revealed a mysterious new Pokémon game, starring Dr Watso Pikachu! This spin-off seems to be some creepy detective game. Not much is known, except that it will feature a Blue Pikachu that apparently can talk (must be due to Fukushima) and who is the villain. The developers used motion capture to give Pikachu better facial expressions, but I have no idea where they got the Pikachu to do that from. More details will likely be released in the following months/years.

Also mentioned was a Pokémon Trozei (Link) sequel, but it appears to be abandoned, or maybe it will see life as an eShop only title. Stay tuned for that too!

 

OLD: The teaser trailer released last week and has teased an all new game with Tsunekazu Ishihara appearing on the show sharing some details on the game that is currently in development. We’ll provide details ASAP!

  1. I saw the teaser trailer and it as creepy (The Pikachu head moving part). Yet, I would really like to see something new, similar to “Hey, you Pikachu” but better! Also, I would love a new Pokemon Trozei. After, that I would really like to see a new Pokemon Ranger!

  2. It seems that they are working on a Detective game with Pikachu, and there is a Blue Pikachu in it? Ok. Also something about a very early idea for a new Pokemon Trozei as a downloadable title.

  3. Pikachu has really been getting his act together over all these years. First his substantial weight loss, now he is going to solve mysteries! Glad he found some work. Good for you Pikachu, good for you.

  5. I’m trying to breed some good pokes right now, but it’s pretty hard without the power items and the IV checker. I was wondering do we visit Kiloude city before or after the E4 and Team flat climax?

    • I never played Trozei, or many of the spin offs at that. I had the Pokemon Trading Card game for gameboy color that my cousin gave me and Pokemon Ranger (the original) that I got for Christmas. Pokemon Ranger was pretty darn fun but it fucked up my touch screen. I let a friend borrow it and I haven’t seen it since -_-

      • I played Trozei on a emulator. Let me tell you. It is freaking fun! I played Pokemon Ranger 1,2, and 3. I hope they make another one! This time in 3D with a vast amount of improvements! Pokemon Ranger is my favorite spin-off series, next to Mystery Dungeon!

        • I wanted to play the other Ranger games, but I was scared too after the last incident with my DS. I was heart broken Lol. I couldn’t type a PictoChat message with five other letters at random appearing in the message. I couldn’t get into the Mystery Dungeons. They seemed too drawn out and took forever to get going, so I never got them. I played my friends’ copies though.

  6. Wow, this actually really interests me. Definitely curious about the details that will come out about the game between now and 2015.
    Anyways, really happy today because on the bus I bred my perfect Shroomish! 31 IVs in HP, Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed with the Quick Feet Ability. Had to do a triple check with the IV lady just to make sure…OCD lol.

  7. Does anyone know if something happens if you go to Sea Spirit’s Den with the three legendary birds in your party at the same time?
