The entire team behind Detective Pikachu wanted to make sure the movie made fans happy. Obviously Pokemon Co. wanted that as well. That's why during the film's creation, a Pokemon expert was on-set at all times. Lucy actress Kathryn Newton went into detail on the matter.

“Every day on set, there was a Pokemon expert. Every day, making sure we didn’t mess up. One time, I called Bulbasaur ‘he’ in a scene, and he [the Pokémon expert] said, ‘Actually, you can’t call him a ‘he.’ He’s ‘it.’ Genderless. Psyduck is a he. So, there are these really specific things that we cared about, and we hoped that Pokémon experts and just fans [care, too].”
