Now, thestory ofSonic the Hedgehog 3is looming closer as the marketing for the film picks up speed.
This joke, as casual as it is, could lay the foundations of a Sonic andPokemoncrossover in live-action.
The two movies faced endless comparisons from their initial designs to their respective box office and critical reception.
With all of these comparisons in mind, it makes theDetective Pikachureference inSonic the Hedgehog 3even better.
When viewing Tails in comparison to thePokemongames, this joke would fall somewhat flat.
Concerning Tails, his design looks more like a fluffyPokemonthan the likes of Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow.

The latter three are based on spiky animals, whereas Tails is supposed to be an anthropomorphic fox.
Therefore, the fluffy design works for Tails but does bring to mind the titular character ofDetective Pikachu.
A loose adaptation of the video game of the same name, Detective Pikachu follows former Pokémon trainer Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) and Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) as they set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Tim’s father, Harry. Tim’s investigation takes him and Detective Pikachu into the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to shake their native Ryme City - and the entire Pokémon world - to its very foundation.
