The firstDetective Pikachugame was a gritty rebootfull of caffeine and catcalling. The 2016 version saw the origin of the titular character as players saw the once-happy Pikachu munching on apples harden after a tragic car accident.
It was a peculiar game full of bloody and dead Pokemon and a pretty aggressive version of the usually cute and cuddly yellow pocket monster. While it’s pretty hard to get a hold of today, you can watch two hours of the original title viaGameXplain’s YouTube channel.
