POKÉMON Detective Pikachu: Difference between revisions
promotion section
(→Errors: That's not an error game/=/movies, the sub point gives an explanation as to why it may not be an error, plus Psyduck used psychic on the surrounding air to create an explosion and not on Greninja directly. If a psychic Pokémon picked up a rock and threw it on a dark type it would still be affected by being hit by a rock and not the move directly. Finally since when was it established that psychic moves can't be used on dark types in this movie, answer never so not a plot hole either) |

Some publicity stunts were held to promote the film: | |||
On April 12, 2019, an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyLpQOSQlx0 interview-style comedy skit] with Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively was released, where Reynolds exaggerated the extent of his method acting to get into character - including not picking up his daughters from school because "[Detective Pikachu] doesn't know who those two little girls are" and "attempting to lose 182 pounds to match [Detective Pikachu]'s weight until doctors intervened". | |||
On May 7, 2019, a YouTube channel titled "Inspector Pikachu" uploaded [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAA_yWX8ycQ a false leak of the film], and a similarly-named twitter account also tweeted about it. The video was watermarked with Ryan Reynolds' name and started by showing Warner Bros.'s logos, but then transitioned into a looping animation of Detective Pikachu dancing. This animation references a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK98jx7gw7w Key & Peele comedy skit] (which itself references the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIfAkOBMf5A National Aerobics Championships in the 80s]) that performs the same motions and uses a similar fitness gym setting. The video's length was 1:42:53, similar to the actual film's runtime of 1 hour and 44 minutes, and Reynolds also tweeted about the video<ref>[https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1125886792627118080 Reynolds tweet about fake leak stunt]</ref> to add to the illusion. This animation is unique to the promotional video, and does not appear in the final film. | |||
