Portlandia's Jonathan Krisel was just announced as the new director for Detective Pikachu 2, and he will be working off a screenplay from Chris Galletta. Given that it's already been 4 years since Detective Pikachu first hit theaters, it's only natural that audiences will want to see some continuity in the franchise. The twist at the end also serves to completely redefine that relationship, which the sequel could take the opportunity to explore more in-depth. As enjoyable as it was for longtime fans of the games to see their favorite Pokémon brought to life, it risked becoming another soulless adaptation if not for the growing friendship between Detective Pikachu and Smith's Tim Goodman.
