Detective Pikachu Returns: All Quiz Professor Locations (& Answers)

The Detective Pikachu franchise is easily one of the more unique things that The Pokemon Company has crafted from their pocket monsters series. It’s true that Pikachu is the most popular Pokemon of the bunch and that fans are always up for seeing more of him in new and exciting ways, but this spinoff series takes the cake. After all, they basically made him an “adult” who also happens to be a detective, complete with a deep voice and a deep love of coffee. Yet, for one reason or another, the franchise has done well and recently had a game release on the Nintendo Switch.

The Pokémon Company has released a new short animation in which Detective Pikachu investigates who stole a flan from his human sidekick's fridge.

Though Raiden is pretty good at stealth, finding and disarming bombs in Metal Gear Solid 2 won’t be easy. Despite receiving training from defusing expert Stillman, Fatman appears to have outshone him as the emperor of explosives.

Although Uncle Aaron's time as the Prowler has come to an end, he did leave behind some Prowler Stashes for you to hunt down in . Aside from the main story mission that unlocks these side quests, there are nine stashes hidden throughout New York that you'll want to track down if you wish to stock up on Rare Tech Parts.

The release of Detective Pikachu Returns for the Nintendo Switch has sparked excitement and intrigue among Pokémon fans worldwide. While the recently launched sequel marks the conclusion of the current storyline initiated by 2016’s Detective Pikachu for the Nintendo 3DS, the Pokémon Company has left the door open for the possibility of more adventures in the Detective Pikachu universe. In a recent interview with Famitsu, Hiroyuki Jinnai, the managing director of Creatures Inc, shared some insight into the franchise’s future.

The Pokémon Company and Creatures Inc have said there may be room for more Detective Pikachu games.

Catching up with Pikachu and Tim two years on from the 3DS original, Detective Pikachu Returns takes us back to Ryme City. The duo might be hailed as heroes for solving what was sending Pokémon into frenzies, but they still haven’t found Tim’s father and Pikachu’s owner, Harry Goodman, who went missing before the events of the first game. So our duo continue to solve cases in the city with the hope of finding the missing detective.

In , there are several cases for Tim and Pikachu to solve, however, there are also civilians with Local Concerns that require assistance as well. Local Concerns are the side quest equivalent for and are completely optional tasks, but necessary for anyone looking to 100% complete the game.

Nintendo’s Detective Pikachu Returns, a sequel to 2018’s Detective Pikachu on the Nintendo 3DS, is now available on Nintendo Switch. It sees Tim Goodman and Pikachu (not that one) working to investigate Tim’s father, who has strangely disappeared. Check out the launch trailer below to see it in action.

These days, if you take a short nap, you might miss a video game launch. I felt that way about Detective Pikachu Returns this week, and I’m one of the few who actually played the original (that’s just how 2023 is going! It’s an onslaught, folks). But even if you don’t partake in the recently-released digital follow-up, you can still order a Pokemon-branded coffee cup cozy soon.

While it may not have been on everyone’s “wish list” for 2023, Detective Pikachu Returns has arrived for Nintendo Switch. The game is a sequel to the hit Nintendo 3DS title that inspired the equally popular adaptation that starred Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu. The game puts players in a unique version of the Pokemon world where a young man named Tim Goodman can understand a particular Pikachu that can solve mysteries and drinks a heck of a lot of coffee. The unusual game was much different from the mainline series, and that’s likely what drew people to it, and now, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are hoping it draws people in again.
