In an interview with Screen Rant , Samit was asked about the enfranchisement ’s future , and hinted that a number of concepts are currently on the table :
There are a good deal of ideas . As we sound out , the population is monolithic in size in term of Pokémon and location . Even within Ryme City itself , we ’ve only scratch the surface of that . There ’s a tidy sum of magic in this universe , so there ’s passel of spot for it to go .
Obviously , Samit could n’t uncover much else besides that . Just because something is in development or being discourse does n’t mean it ’ll in reality be green lit , so he has to be a little coy aright now . In all likelihood , the studio apartment is presently weighing their choice and seeing which 1 have the strongest prospects as a moving picture . WB was impudent in that they did n’t formally date any morePokémonfilms prior toDetective Pikachu’sdebut . Now that they have it away there ’s an audience for this franchise , they can confidently move forward with new installments . And given the scope of thePokémonworld , the sky ’s the terminus ad quem with what the film producer can do . The Earth - construction was one of the most acclaimed aspectsofDetective Pikachu , and it barely scratched the surface . While there are n’t many obvious dangling duds , there was enough there to serve as a found pad for more films .
As tempting as it is to really blow up thePokémonfilm universe , it ’d be wise if WB proceeded with caution and exact child stride . The sorry affair would be to denote too many movies at once and oversaturate the market , rapidly drink down interest . It was n’t that long agoThe LEGO Movie(also a WB release ) was an acclaimed creative hit that kick off its own shared population , only for the studioto race out spinoffs and essentially bolt down the brand . Even something as massive asStar Warsisn’t fully resistant to franchise fatigue duty , so ifDetective Pikachuis to be a reliable cash cow for WB , slow and steady might win the race .
