I think using Detective Pikachu is a pretty good idea. My main worry when we first heard of the live action news was that they won't be able to make a movie that appeals to the fans. Most fans were asking for a movie that presents Pokemon in the gritty, adult manner. The problem with that movie is that it won't be for the kid fanbase that Pokemon is constantly trying to appeal to.

By doing this, they could make a product that kids could watch but also have some themes that could relate to kids. I am a bit more positive about this movie now.
