We've all been overwhelmed by Pokemon Go haven't we? I mean in just over a week of release, Nintendo and Niantic’s mega-hit mobile game Pokemon GO has become a worldwide phenomenon despite the fact that it is still in the process of being rolled-out in some territories. Now, New York’s Central Park has gotten a taste of what happens when a rare Pokemon appears in its vicinity – and the results are eye-opening. Anyways, according to THR, Legendary has finalized an agreement with Pokemon’s Japanese-based rights holder The Pokemon Company to produce live-action movies based on the arguably more popular than ever franchise. The first film to come out of this new partnership will be Detective Pikachu, based on the point-and-click adventure game Great Detective Pikachu for the Nintendo 3DS.
