The second trailer for the upcoming live action Pokémon Detective Pikachu movie has a ridiculous amount of realistic Pokémon in it.

The trailer gives us a closer look at the plot of Detective Pikachu, where a talking Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) who has lost his memory helps a young Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) figure out what happened to his father. Along the way, it looks like there's going to be plenty of jokes, some late-night battles, and some big Pokémon reveals.

There are so many Pokémon in this trailer, it's mind-blowing. There's Charizard, Bulbasaur Greninja, Mr. Mime, Snorlax, Machamp, Lickitung, Ludicolo, Morelull, Evee, Aipom, and even Mewtwo to name just a few. That last one is a pretty big surprise that is sure to build up some extra hype for Pokémon fans.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu lands in theaters May 10.
