The Detective Pikachu trailer took the internet by storm the moment Ryan Reynolds shared it on social media.
I think we all knew I’d wind up as a miniature detective repeatedly saying the same two words. Just didn’t think it’d be this soon. #PikaPika #DetectivePikachu pic.twitter.com/L4iB760fJO

From the Pokémon themselves to all of the hidden details in the background, no one was prepared for their first look at live-action Ryme City and its inhabitants. Every shot feels like a love letter to the franchise, with recognizable Pokémon like Mr. Mime and Jigglypuff front and center, to the lesser known, like the Emolga gleefully watching the food stand crowds. Pikachu himself is almost unbelievably sassy and adorable. He’s also the ideal reaction gif to just about anything.
Use Pikachu and friends for the perfect response on social media or just watch your favorite moments over and over again in HD gif glory with the official Detective Pikachu GIF collection.
