The Trailer For the Live-Action Pokémon Movie Will Thrill Both ’90s and Today’s Kids

Get ready, Pokémon-lovers of all ages: the first ever live-action film featuring the Pokémon you know and love is coming to theatres in May 2019. Detective Pikachu takes place in Ryme City, a metropolis in which humans and Pokémon live side by side, and tells the story of 21-year-old named Tim, whose father Harry, a private eye, goes missing. In the film based on a video game of the same name, Tim teams up with Pikachu, a detective and Harry's former partner, to search for his father — but there's a catch: the hilarious and adorable Pikachu, who normally only says his own name, can actually be understood by Tim (he's voiced by Ryan Reynolds [1]!).

We're already so excited for this movie [2]! Check out the trailer above, mark your calendars for a movie date with your older kids and teens on May 10, and while you're at it, check out the other family movies coming out in 2019 [3].
