Detective Pikachu
While the writers ofDetective Pikachuare not currently working on any spinoffs for thewell - obtain Pokémon celluloid , they did volunteer a stellar estimation for a Jigglypuff movie they ’d wish to make elysian byA Star is Born . With Oren Uzieltapped to write the continuation , the Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit writing pair are freed up to make such an idea a reality - maybe .
Jigglypuff may not have had very much meter to smoothen inDetective Pikachu , but that does n’t mean it ’s not one of the writers ' favored Pokémon and iconic in its own right . In fact , one of its most memorable characteristics - sing hoi polloi to sleep - made its wayinto a sight gagon the freehanded screen . That said , Jigglypuff is n’t content with a sleeping audience , and the screenwriters have crowing dreams in intellect for the beloved balloon Pokémon .

In an exclusive consultation , Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit discussed the view of Ryme City and the Pokémon World at great that they had n’t yet gotten a chance to explore . When asked specifically which storey they ’d care to commit to shoot , however , Hernandez had a surprising answer ready . Citing a potentialAmerican Idolor evenEurovision - style adventure being an choice , he said , " I am concerned in Jigglypuff ’s telling life history . "
However , there ’s one glare issue with stick with Jigglypuff on its journey to stardom , which Hernandez promptly acknowledged:“The severe problem of arrange everyone to slumber . “That dichotomy would be the crux of the news report , and the screenwriter continued,“We love Jigglypuff . I care the weird Pokémon that really need something , and just by their nature , Jigglypuff can never achieve that . “In the end , he dubbed his imaginary filmJigglypuff : A Star Is Born .
If Lady Gaga would take on the role of the gifted , but tormented Jigglypuff , then there ’s no doubtfulness that the spinoff would be a hit . But which Pokémon would be her melodious partner ( aka the Pokémon universe ’s Jackson Maine ) ? Because , according to Hernandez , it would still have to be a tragical sexual love news report , and Samit agreed , saying,“I finger like I ca n’t top that . "
Given that other Pokémon celluloid alfresco of the sequel arealready in development , there ’s no rationality a solo story focusing on Jigglypuff ca n’t work . Mewtwo and Psyduck ( along with Kathryn Newton ’s Lucy Stevens ) may be in the running first , simply due to their screen time in the firstfilm , but Jigglypuff ’s struggle to harbour , rather than enervate , is something that plenty of fans could connect with . While such a movie may not actually resembleA Star Is BornorAmerican Idol , hopefully Hernandez and Samit ’s magic signature would serve it touch the summit ofDetective Pikachu .
