Now it's Pokémon's turn! Watch the Pikachus hunting down players in Basel with Pokéballs.

The hilarious clip is clever marketing from the Swiss City of Basel. The local tourist board uses Pokéstops at famous places for promotion. (https://www.basel.com/en/Pokemon).

Variety reports that Legendary Entertainment locked down the rights to what could be a massive franchise, subsequent to reported accounts that they were trying to close the deal. Details are pretty hush right now, but we've heard whispers that the studio's nudging for the film to kickstart in 2017. Oh, and we're talking Detective Pikachu for the 'theme'.

For $60, you can snag this web exclusive Charizard-themed Pikachu, which includes a Charizard hoodie and the standard Poké Ball hoodie:



The fifteen inch Chari-chu also comes with a trading card, and has a built in Pikachu voice sound box (exclusive to this version).

The other Pikachu available from Build-a-Bear is in-store only, and does not include the Charizard hoodie or the sound box. It will be available in stores in late December, and does include the special trading card.
