The Great Detective Pikachu, the game you didn’t know you needed that is set for a corresponding movie coming soon. The adorable electric mouse is a timeless icon for the Pokemon franchise and easily a family-favorite pocket monster. So when the community caught wind of an live-action film with a US release, there was a petition that began for Danny Devito to voice as the titular character. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as everyone had hoped. Instead, Ryan Reynolds was selected for the role. It may not sound right for now, but who knows – maybe he’s got the potential for the pitch perfect voice?

As disappointing as that may be, the voice cast for the Nintendo 3DS title of the same name was perfect, selecting renown voice actor Kaiji Tang for that deep, raspy cigarette tone. Without too many in ways of spoilers, check out the videos below for some of the best and most hilarious moments from the game thanks to the good folks over at GameXplain:

Detective Pikachu is available now for the Nintendo 3DS. The film on the other hand is currently in production and there has been no release date announced as of yet. Have you played the 3DS game?
