This reveal follows recent announcements of the lead actors: Ryan Reynolds will star in the movie as Pikachu, Justice Smith will play the male lead, and Kathryn Newton will play the female lead Lucy.

Additionally, a classification posted on PEGI's site has revealed that a video game under the title of "Detective Pikachu" will be rated PEGI 3. This likely refers to the video game Great Detective Pikachu ~Birth of a New Duo~, which is currently exclusive to Japan and has not been announced for release anywhere else. Jake McKnight‏, who works in information security for The Pokémon Company International, confirmed that this was a leak of a codename of an upcoming project.
