As a lifelong Pokémon fan who has been following the franchise since the original Red and Blue games, I must say that I was genuinely excited when the Detective Pikachu tease dropped earlier this week. The anticipation built up as we approached the supposed “surprise” day, with my mind racing with possibilities – a sequel to the movie, a new game in the series, perhaps even some sort of exciting crossover event. Alas, it seems that I was but a mere dreamer.
On Friday, anticipation ran high within the Pokemon community due to a hint about Detective Pikachu dropped earlier in the week, leading many to speculate about possible news on a sequel or new game. However, the promised surprise turned out to be a simple merchandise giveaway, disappointing those eagerly waiting for new content. What made matters worse was that the merchandise was reportedly only available in a single region, limiting enjoyment for most Detective Pikachu fans.
The tease in question came from the Japanese Pokemon account on Twitter which perhaps should’ve been a giveaway that this wasn’t going to be some groundbreaking Detective Pikachu news, but in defense of those who thought it might lead to more than it did, the tweet billed the announcement as “exciting news” timed to celebrate the anniversary of Detective Pikachu Returns. The teaser culminated in a merch giveaway of prizes including a Detective Pikachu plush, a figure featuring the talking Pikachu himself and a Galarian Darmanitan, and a couple of collectible cards.
This giveaway isn’t widely accessible, but it’s a great opportunity for Detective Pikachu fans, especially those in Japan who are active on Twitter. Only 100 lucky winners will get the merchandise. However, if you’re interested in the items offered, they can be purchased online, making it possible for non-winners to still acquire them.
The first question asks if the user is available at exactly 100 minutes past 1 o’clock.

The 2019 film “Detective Pikachu” received mixed reviews from critics but had a slightly better response from Pokemon enthusiasts. Despite a lukewarm reception, fans have been eagerly awaiting updates about a possible “Detective Pikachu 2.” However, there has been little to no news on the sequel, with recent comments suggesting that the prospects for another “Detective Pikachu” movie are slim. In other words, the possibility of a sequel was always a long shot based on these teases.
Last year, when Detective Pikachu Returns game hit the shelves, it didn’t exactly set the world on fire with critics and fans alike. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of DLC or additional content. And let’s face it, a 100-person merchandise giveaway limited to a single region? That wasn’t something we were hoping for as dedicated Pokémon enthusiasts.
