    Hey guys, [member='AuraKnight'] here, and welcome to another Amazing(ly small) Update!

    [​IMG]
    Yesterday, Pokémon unveiled to us yet another trailer for an upcoming title, but this one was different; it was for a game we haven't heard of yet. 名探偵ピカチュウ ~新コンビ誕生~ (Great Detective Pikachu ~Birth of a New Duo~) is the latest Pokémon spin-off to be released in Japan on February 3rd. It is a Puzzle Solving Cinematic Adventure Game that takes place in Rhyme City, a currently new location in the world of Pokémon, and involves two main characters; Tim Goodman and Detective Pikachu.

    Not much is known about either character as of yet, but we know that Tim Goodman isn't originally from Rhyme City, as it states that "Tim Goodman comes to Rhyme City and meets a Pikachu", and we know that this special Pikachu has not only a knack for mystery solving, but speaking the human language. It is shown that this is an ability only for this Pikachu, as he can be seen conversing with a second Pikachu in the official trailer, which can be viewed here from the official source, or here with subtitles by GameXplain.

    Unlike the previous 3 Pokémon Spin-offs we've received in Pokémon's main series down time (Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Rumble World and Pokémon Picross), this one will cost money. It will cost Â¥1,500 (about $12.60 USD/$18.00 AUD/£9 GBP), but it will be on sale for pre-purchase at a price of Â¥1,200 from the 27th of January to the 29th. The game will take up 4951 Blocks of data (633 MB), and it is unknown if the game will release outside of Japan.

    UPDATE: Thanks to Serebii.net, we now have a bit of information on the characters and gameplay, so read below!

    Detective Pikachu likes coffee and asks Tim to invite attractive women over for tea, but is weak around them. Detective Pikachu, due to being able to talk, cannot use any moves and isn't very fast.
    Mike Baker is head of the Detective Agency. Amanda Blackstone is the office assistant. Amelia Kristi is a new Assistant Director at a TV Station. Meiko Okamoto is a TV Director. Pablo Milan is the owner of the High Hat Cafe.
    During gameplay, you play as Tim as he has interviews with people and gathers evidence with the help of Detective Pikachu. During gameplay, you walk around Rhyme City. Tim interviews humans while Pikachu interviews Pokémon. While exploring town, you can find spots to investigate. You can look for evidence by using a magnifying glass and moving it around the scene until you find something. If Pikachu notices anything, the bottom screen image of Pikachu will activate. Tap it to speak with Pikachu to get a hint or advice. Finally, there are elements with Quick Time Events where you have to push a button in time to perform an action, such as catching Pikachu after he falls from a tree. If you fail to do so, the following scene changes slightly. It doesn't affect progress, but just changes how things go such as Pikachu hitting Tim's chest rather than being caught. From there, you solve the crimes based on evidence. The example given is to find out where Aipom disappeared to.

    This is weird tho because Detective Pikachu's voice doesn't seem to match its body xD

    The amount of blocks it uses is quite high, so it's most likely gonna be a full game. I think Ace Attorney 5 takes up fewer blocks, so this is looking like a juggernaut of a game.

    Honestly this looks so wacky, I have no idea what to make of this. I'm not into detective/puzzle/point&click games either so I'll probably not be buying this. At least it's something fresh and new, it'll be interesting to see where they'll take this >_>
