A special
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu event has been announced by Warner Bros. and will take place at San Diego Comic-Con (via
Toonado).
The special event will consist of a makeshift, pop-up version of Ryme City and allow visitors and fans of the
Pokemon franchise to take photos amid the immersive environments with many characters from the live-action
Pokemon film. These "characters" will presumably be life-size recreations of the Pokemon that were included in
Detective Pikachu.
"Guests will be able to experience the magic of Ryme City in an immersive walkthrough pop-up based on the hit film Pokémon Detective Pikachu with Instagrammable moments including, the neon cityscape, Ryme City marketplace, film prop displays, and an infinity room," said an official description of the event by Warner Bros. Entertainment.
"Fans will have the chance to win prizes and take photos with multiple characters from the film including Detective Pikachu himself!"
San Diego Comic-Con itself will run from July 18th until July 21st but the
Detective Pikachu event, which will take place outsid ethe Omni Hotel, will begin on the 17th and continue until the 21st - which is when the digital version of the film will be officially released.
