It has been\u00a0over a\u00a0year since the release of Pokemon Sword <\/strong><\/em>and Shield<\/strong><\/em> for the Nintendo Switch. Even though the title may be considered older by current video game standards, the development team has kept its players online and in-game with a variety of activities such as\u00a0cycling Wild Area events<\/a>, adding new Pokemon to the Galar region roster, and keeping competitive online play active. So it is no wonder that fans discover something new every day, including Easter eggs that tie the game together with other aspects of the Pokemon<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n

Fans are constantly sharing the Easter eggs they find in the games that they currently play. Some of the most popular Pokemon Sword <\/em>and Shield<\/em> Easter eggs<\/a> that players have caught in the game include the iconic cameo of Pokemon<\/em> game designer Shigeki Morimoto, Nintendo Switch Joy-Con color matching with a player’s real-life console, and even the consistent ghost girl encounters players often find across titles. However, this time, the most recently found Easter egg focuses on the franchise’s 3D mystery film, Detective Pikachu<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a recent Reddit thread, user aSuspiciousPanda shared a screenshot of their Pokemon Sword and Shield<\/em><\/a> game that alludes to the 2019 Detective Pikachu<\/em> movie, or the game that inspired it. Standing in front of the Pokemon Center in the game’s seaport town, Hulbury, the player’s character is seen talking to a normal-looking NPC. However, the NPC specifically mentions the existence of a Pokemon that seems to be making its living as a “great detective.” With\u00a0Detective Pikachu<\/em> being the only recent topic that is related to the NPC conversation, user replies on the Reddit thread were quick to make the connection between the game and movie.<\/p>\n
