Seeing Stars at the Detective Pikachu Premiere

The eagerly anticipated movie POKÉMON Detective Pikachu recently premiered in Tokyo, Japan, where the stars of the movie paraded down the red carpet in front of thousands of people...actually, make that a yellow carpet, in the zig-zag shape of Pikachu's tail! It was a wild scene, with celebrities, costumed Pokémon fans, and moviegoers packed in to see the cast of the highly anticipated movie.

Before they stepped out into the crowds, we were lucky enough to chat with the stars of the film. We sat down with Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton, who play the movie's main (human) characters, Tim Goodman and Lucy Stevens, as well as the voice of Detective Pikachu himself, Ryan Reynolds. They were as eager to talk about their love of Pokémon as they were about the movie! Read on to hear about their experience making POKÉMON Detective Pikachu.
