Pokémon just got real. The first trailer for the live-action “Detective Pikachu” movie, starring Ryan Reynolds as the walking, talking and distinctly furry sleuth, has been released — and it’s divided fans of the franchise.
The film, based on a 2016 spin-off game, recasts the most popular Pokémon species as an amateur crime-solver.
It marks the first foray into live-action for the wildly popular Japanese franchise, and will give enthusiasts the chance to hear Pikachu saying more than just “pika pika” for the first time.
