While Legendary Pictures is still gearing up for the upcoming premiere for Detective Pikachu, the website We Got This Covered posted recently that the company is also working on a “Pokemon Red and Blue” movie. It will be based from the first Pokemon games released for the Gameboy Color, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
According to their “official sources”, this upcoming movie project will be set in the Detective Pikachu universe but will introduce movie audiences to the lore of the franchise same as how players were first introduced to everything about Pokemon through the game. However, putting this into the setting of Detective Pikachu doesn’t seem to mix since the original game does not have any strong story plots that would fit well on the big screen. As of this time, Legendary Pictures has not released a statement regarding this rumor.
Detective Pikachu is slated to be released in theaters on May 10. The movie highlights a 3D CGI Pikachu voiced by Ryan Renolds (Deadpool). This upcoming movie is based from the Nintendo 3DS game of the same name released in 2016 in Japan, then on March 2018 in US, Europe, and Australia.
