Anyone that has watched the original
Pokémon cartoon are familiar with the classic "Who's that Pokémon?" bit of trivia that every episode would feature when cutting to commercials. It was a fun game to play while fans waited for the commercials to end.
During the Pokémon craze back in the late 90s, most fans who watched the cartoon and played the original Game Boy games knew all of the 151 Pokémon, but what about the cast of
Detective Pikachu? Do they know their Pokémon lore as well as people assume they do?
IGN recently posted a video that has Ryan Reynolds, Kathryn Newton, Justice Smith, Ryoma Takeuchi, Marie Litoyo, and
Detective Pikachu Director Rob Letterman recognizing some of the Pokémon in the same fashion of the "Who's that Pokémon?" trivia.
Check it out:
