As a long-time Pokémon enthusiast and a dedicated gamer who grew up with the franchise, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about the potential sequel to “Pokémon Detective Pikachu.” The initial movie was a breath of fresh air, blending live-action and animation seamlessly while maintaining the charm and wit that made Pokémon so popular in the first place.
The movie “Detective Pikachu” from Pokémon, released in 2019 and praised as one of the best video game movies by some, has left fans eagerly anticipating a sequel. However, news about a follow-up has been scarce, with only rumors of a potential director being assigned in early 2023 and lead actor Justice Smith expressing his frustration over the lack of updates. Recently, there might be hope for enthusiasts as a leak from Game Freak, which is known for its secrecy, seems to have revealed details about the franchise’s alleged future plans.
Information about Pokémon’s developer, Game Freak, has been leaked online. The leaked information is said to include details about the franchise’s secret history and future plans for products and projects. Additionally, there are rumors about Detective Pikachu 2 that we will explore now.
What The Game Freak Leak Mentioned About A Detective Pikachu Sequel
TopMob didn’t get hold of the leaked information directly, but @CentroLeaks posted on platform X that a follow-up movie to Detective Pikachu, called The Great Detective Pikachu, is hinted at in the files. It’s rumored that this film has been secretly in development since 2021, with Jordan Vogt-Roberts (known for directing Kong: Skull Island) attached to direct it. Readers should be aware that the entire plot of the sequel is reportedly included in the leak, so those who don’t want to know the details should avoid digging too deep.
Is The Detective Pikachu Sequel Still Happening?
Despite rumors about its status, some may question whether “The Great Detective Pikachu” project is still ongoing. Initially announced in 2021, the movie has been listed as being in development, but it’s important to note that a director was reportedly attached to the sequel as far back as 2023. It should be clarified that Jonathan Kriesel from “Portlandia” is not Jordon Vogt-Roberts and vice versa.

I’m not sure we need this, but I wouldn’t be opposed.
It’s important to point out that there may be several things going on behind the scenes. There’s a possibility that Game Freak has been and continues to secretly work on a sequel to Detective Pikachu, but revealing it now could cause fans to search for spoilers, potentially ruining the surprise before any filming takes place. It seems reasonable to assume that everyone connected to this hypothetical project would prefer to keep things under wraps until the excitement dies down rather than confirm it prematurely.
One possibility could be that the film is currently stuck in what we often refer to as “production limbo,” much like how the Star Trek franchise has experienced numerous setbacks while trying to produce a fourth movie based on the Kelvin universe. In simpler terms, The Great Detective Pikachu may have been under development at some point, but due to certain changes in logistics, it seems to be temporarily halted.
One possibility is that the project we’re discussing might not be moving forward anymore, which means what we see now could have been the next installment following Detective Pikachu. If this is true, it’s plausible that Game Freak and others involved have shifted their focus away from this project, potentially ruling out any further plans for a sequel. Alternatively, there might be another production related to this idea in development.
Despite the details in the latest rumor, it appears fans have enough evidence to stay optimistic about the possibility of a Detective Pikachu sequel. The rise in interest for video game movies and TV shows since the initial film’s release, combined with Pokémon’s ongoing popularity, indicates that the chances of a follow-up are strong—even if the specific details in this leak may not be accurate.
In the meantime, before we get an update about a possible sequel, consider watching “Detective Pikachu” on Prime Video, if you have a subscription. As a franchise enthusiast who adored the film, I’m keeping all my hopes up for a sequel to make its way to the cinema someday.
