11 Easter Eggs You Missed In The Detective Pikachu Trailer

8. The Whole Bedroom

Detective Pikachu Easter Egg
Warner Bros. Pictures

Our protagonist (whose name is Tim) is clearly a wannabe Pokémon Master. His bedroom walls are plastered with posters and wall stickers of Pokémon, and there's plenty of small details to unpack.

Firstly, the names: Cerulean and Johto are both references to Pokémon locations, being Cerulean City and the Johto Region. Appropriately, the posters with Cerulean City on only feature Gen 1 Pokémon, being Blastoise and Charizard, while the Johto Sport Club advertises Articuno vs Steelix, where Steelix is from the Johto Pokédex.

Additionally, there's the Legendary Pokémon references - Articuno and Rayquaza. In Pokémon The Movie 2000, Articuno is a one-of-a-kind Pokémon, and Rayquaza is one of the trio that created the land, sea and sky. But perhaps this is more along the lines of Pokémon Go, where Articuno is simply a very rare Pokémon - there are multiple, but they're just hard to find.
