11 Easter Eggs You Missed In The Detective Pikachu Trailer

This interrogation scene with a Mr. Mime is hilarious, as the Detective tries to guess the Mime's charades. But there's more going on here than you might think, because Mr. Mime can speak - as seen often in the Pokémon anime, where Ash's mum has a Mr. Mime to help with the housework. So Mr. Mime is intentionally messing with the Detective and Tim - maybe he's playing for time? It's unclear why just yet.

But another detail that shows this Pokémon is untrustworthy is this exact frame - when the Detective tries to Tackle the Mr. Mime and instead hits an invisible wall.

While this seems like just a joke based on mimes and their 'glass boxes', Mr. Mime is actually a Psychic type Pokémon that can use the psychic moves Barrier, Reflect and Light Screen, all of which block incoming attacks in some way. Looking at it like this, the Mr. Mime seems to be toying with the Detective and Tim!
