Sometimes referred to as the “Disguise Pokemon,” Mimikyu is a fascinating Pokemon oddity.
It is a sad little thing, and naturally, the Pikachu dressing it wears makes it a natural fit for Detective Pikachu.
Particularly given that the original movie wanted to introduce several original Pokemon into the fold, it’s safe to assume that Detective Pikachu will probably feel emboldened to introduce a few of the newer Pokemon into the fold, which should make it easier to find a way to bring Mimikyu into the proceedings.
It is such a tragic, tortured character, particularly in Pokemon lore, that it would be fascinating to see it brought onto the screen, and we hope to see it — if not maybe “see it.”
