The Pokémon Company just announced that Detective Pikachu: Birth of a New Duo is releasing for Nintendo 3DS on February 3, 2016 in Japan. Here’s a look at its first trailer.

 

The video starts out with Detective Pikachu walking with his partner, and you can actually hear Pikachu speaking, saying: “It smells like a case,” “just where is he going?” “Let’s go check it out,” “are you okay?” and “let’s go, buddy!”

 

The video then explains “the adventure of the two will begin, and the protagonist is…” followed by Pikachu saying “I’m not just any detective, I’m the detective!” and we get a glimpse at some of its gameplay footage.
