Legendary Entertainment hints at future Pokemon movies

Detective Pikachu looks like it has all the makings of a hit. Could this be the beginning of a Pokemon Cinematic Universe? While Legendary Entertainment producer Ali Mendes wasn't ready to flat-out confirm that yet, it does seem like there are plans.

“[Pokemon is] such a rich universe. There are so many ways you can go inside of it. We're trying to get the first movie right, and then once we've done that, we'll see where we go from there, but absolutely. There are a lot of opportunities. Even the Pokemon themselves, there are eight hundred of them. We're going to have a lot of them in [Pokemon: Detective Pikachu], but we want to play with all of them at some point.”
