Carlton from SwitchEra writes: "It is very rare that the Pokemon Company and Game Freak take chances with their beloved, almost sacred, series. Being a core game series that is held at such high standards with thousands of dollars behind it, it’s almost become expected that with each new Pokemon game, players will essentially encounter a slightly altered version of the previous game. However, both fans and critics have loved the strange Detective Pikachu game that recently released, and multiple accounts agree that it’s simply because Creatures Inc. took a brave, much needed spin on the decades-old series."
