Title: Detective Pikachu ~Birth of a New Duo~ (名探偵ピカチュウ ~新コンビ誕生~)
A new news article has been posted!
A new game for the Nintendo 3DS has been announced by Nintendo Japan and The Pokémon Company called Detective Pikachu ~Birth of a New Duo~ (名探偵ピカチュウ ~新コンビ誕生~) which will be released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Japan on February 3rd, 2016 for 1,500 yen. From January 27th, 2016 until February 29th, 2016, the game will be 20% off and will cost 1200 yen.
The stage is set, a place where people and Pokémon co-exist, Rhyme City. In order to fulfill his purpose, a boy named Tim comes to this town. There, Tim has a chance meeting with Pikachu. A new story begins from this point.
This seems kind of weird, and that deep voice for the pikachu is a bit jarring. It's hard to know what to think without much information available yet though. It is pretty interesting to see Pokemon games expanding to new genres so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

I thought they'd given up on this game because we literally didn't hear anything for 2 years about this game. The graphics look very impressive for 3DS. The deep voice for Pikachu I guess means to me at least that its an older/adult Pikachu.
