Pokemon remade for modern age

GOTTA catch ‘em all! No, we’re not talking about the various strains of flu at this time of year. We’re talking about Pokemon — the ‘pocket monsters’ that first gobbled up your wallets back in 1996.

It may be 22 years since Pokemon Red and Blue hit the Gameboy, but the brand is going stronger than ever. This week, a film trailer finally dropped for Detective Pikachu, the crazy-looking adaptation of a Pokemon spinoff, in which the titular yellow monster is now a wise-cracking detective, fully voiced by Ryan Reynolds.
