Ryan Reynolds playing Pikachu gets a big ole stamp of approval from one of the biggest stars in the Pokemon universe.
Veronica Taylor voiced Pokemon trainer, Ash, for 8 seasons of the animated show, and has a hard time wrapping her brain around a live-action Pikachu — but she told us Ryan has the skills to pull it off.
Bonus for Ryan: She says taking on the “Detective Pikachu” role means more than a fat paycheck — it’s gonna pay off for his kids on the playground.
As for which will reign supreme — cartoon or the movie? Veronica tried to play it down the middle, but you can tell where her heart is.
