Hope this turns out good. Doubt it though.

It doesn't sound good on paper, but I'm hopeful just because of the writer, which is the Gravity Falls creator. And the co-writer co-wrote Guardians of the Galaxy. It's still the weirdest idea ever but, who knows, maybe it works.

Such a weird pick for the voice of Pikachu. Now I imagine some comical, dirty mouth pikachu. That might make this more fun xD

Is this a movie?

As weird as it sounds, yes it is. It's an actual live action Hollywood movie based on Detective Pikachu. 

Wait... What?

This is either going to be awesome like Deadpool or dreadful like.... That other Deadpool... Or worse... The green lantern.

Oh wow, Gravity Falls creator?..

Hopefully it turns out good.
