Pika Prompts
Pika Prompts are short collectible scenes in Detective Pikachu, featuring the titular detective speaking to Tim Goodman. While some Pika Prompts are required during the story, most Prompts are optional or require specific conditions in order to appear.
Overview
Pika Prompts are unlocked after speaking to the woman who gives testimony about the Aipom in the vicinity of Tahnti Station. Tapping the Detective Pikachu button on the bottom screen or pressing the X button will play a Pika prompt.
Most prompts have conditions of some sort, which can include making a certain amount of progress through a chapter, being in a specific location, or a combination of the two. Once these conditions have been met, the prompt will be played the next time the Pika Prompts button is pressed. Prompts with special conditions can generally only be played once. If no prompt has had all its conditions met, or all conditional prompts have already been played, a random prompt is played out of the prompts that are available for the given chapter. If a prompt has already been seen, the player can press the B button to end the cutscene at any time.
For some prompts with conditions, when the prompt has its conditions satisfied, the Pikachu button will play a tone and flash, and Pikachu himself on the top screen will jump and speak to try to get Tim Goodman's attention. However, other prompts have no indication that their conditions have been satisfied, so they seemingly happen at random.
The background of a Pika Prompt varies depending on Detective Pikachu's location in the current area. Nearby people and Pokémon may be included in the background, including the Gengar in Chapter 3.
Once a prompt has been seen, it is unlocked to be viewable at any time from the title screen's "View Pika Prompts" menu. From here, Prompts can be selected from a list, played at random, or favorited. Unlocked Prompts are tracked universally per copy of the game, rather than being tied to a save file. In this menu, prompts are divided into chapter-specific categories, as well as Coffee Notes, Detective Tips, and General Pika Prompts.
By tapping the Detective Pikachu amiibo, all Pika Prompts up to the furthest completed chapter can be unlocked. However, it is possible to collect all Prompts through regular gameplay, without needing to use this amiibo.
