If you were born sometime during the 90s you have probably seen countless commercials, games, and plushies dedicated to Pokemon. Pokemon was released in 1998 and the franchise grew in popularity releasing movies and video games people still love to play and watch today. When the movie Detective Pikachu was released, fans were shocked when they heard the voice of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, voice the electric mouse Pokemon. When Detective Pikachu came out on 3DS, and the popularity of the movie, it was a no-brainer that we’d be getting a Detective Pikachu 2 game. We have all the details on who will be voicing the Detective Pikachu 2 game.

The Nintendo Direct finally unraveled a Detective Pikachu game that will be released in October. The title of the game is “Detective Pikachu Returns”. With the popularity of the Detective Pikachu game, some fans were wondering if Ryan Reynolds was going to reprise his role. This is the only game where players have the opportunity to hear Pikachu’s voice since the electric mouse is typically only chanting his name.
