Team Rocket's Japanese voice actors both have roles in Detective Pikachu

A sly reference for fans

Here's a neat little Easter egg for Pokemon fans in Japan who check out Detective Pikachu. While I have no idea if Team Rocket is in the movie, the voice actors behind the characters in the anime both have roles in the movie. Megumi Hayashibara (Jessie) plays Doctor Laurent, while Shinichiro Miki (James) plays Roger. It's something the average movie-goer in Japan won't notice, but fans will likely pick up on as soon as they hear the characters speak.
