===[[Detective Pikachu Returns]]===
{{incomplete|section|Missing info from after the prologue}}
Two years after meeting Tim, he and Detective Pikachu have become rather famous for their crime-solving work. Mayor [[Howard Myers]] gives them medals in honor of all the work they've done to help the people of Ryme City, as part of Pokémon Friendship Week. A wild {{p|Corviknight}} disrupts the ceremony by stealing Pikachu's hat, so Tim and Pikachu work together to retrieve it - and help a Pidove that was injured in the attack along the way.

Prior to the accident, Detective Pikachu had a much different personality; Tim recalls him being cute and docile, and Amanda says he used to be very well-mannered.

After the accident, Detective Pikachu began to display a number of human traits: he likes drinking coffee, he likes eating sweets, and he is easily infatuated with attractive human women. He especially loves the coffee that [[Pablo Millan]] makes.
After the accident, Detective Pikachu began to display a number of human traits: he enjoys drinking coffee, eating sweets, and solving mysteries. He especially loves the coffee that [[Pablo Millan]] makes. In Detective Pikachu, he is shown to be easily infatuated with attractive human women, but this behavior does not occur in the sequel. He is also interested in Tim's love life, teasing him about his relationships with [[Emilia Christie]] and and [[Rachel Myers]].  


Detective Pikachu is a bit egotistical, frequently complimenting himself on his own genius. When he gets an especially significant flash of inspiration while working on a case, he has a habit of declaring "A bolt of brilliance!" in a dramatic fashion.
Detective Pikachu is a bit egotistical, frequently complimenting himself on his own genius. He has a tendency to respond to people who call him a detective with something along the lines of "I'm not just a detective, I'm a great detective". When he gets an especially significant flash of inspiration while working on a case, he has a habit of declaring "A bolt of brilliance!" in a dramatic fashion.


Detective Pikachu has lost most of his abilities as a Pikachu; he is not very fast, and cannot use Pokémon moves, much to his dismay. However, as a talking Pokémon, he can interpret and translate testimony from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Detective Pikachu & the Mystery of the Missing Flan===
Detective Pikachu appears in the animated short [[Detective Pikachu & the Mystery of the Missing Flan]]. He has decided to try filming his morning routine, as it's a popular trend on the internet, and has employed his friend {{p|Munchlax}} to assist him. His filming is interrupted by [[Tim Goodman|Tim]], whose flan has gone missing and is blaming Pikachu for it. Pikachu insists that he hasn't eaten the flan, and Munchlax says it hasn't eaten it, either, so Pikachu works together with Tim to figure out what really happened to the flan. While reviewing the footage he shot of his morning routine, Pikachu notices that an apple in the fridge moved positions. This leads him to conclude that the apple is in fact a wild {{p|Applin}} that had gotten mixed up in the fruit they bought at the store, and it was the one who ate Tim's flan.
