Twitter user Howard Bud has stumbled across an interesting find — film props for what appears to part of the upcoming Detective Pikachu movie.

The film props feature several unmistakable Pokémon elements in them — the Ryme City Police Department logo prominently features Victini, and the missing Pokémon posters ask for information on an unaccounted-for Machamp, Pancham and Graveller.

Ryme City is the setting for the upcoming Detective Pikachu video game and its associated movie directed by Rob Letterman. The movie, set to feature Ryan Reynolds as the eponymous detective, revolves around a teen (played by Justice Smith) solving the mystery of his kidnapped father, aided by the detective plus a sassy journalist played by Kathryn Newton. Further details on the movie remain scant.

“Jake”, known as Hiroshi Sotomura on The PokéCommunity, is a contributing writer and one of the founders of PokéCommunity Daily. Being introduced to Pokémon after watching “The Water Flowers of Cerulean City”, Jake sought out to obtain the just-released copy of Pokémon Yellow, and became an avid fan of the games and the TV show. For whatever reason, he owns several consoles just to play different copies of the games.
