On Tuesday May 7th,  Warner Bros. and Ryan Reynolds trolled the Internet by pretending to upload the entire  Pokémon Detective Pikachu  movie to YouTube, a couple of days before its theatrical release. As I type this, the  YouTube video  -- which actually shows Pikachu working out to some 80s jazzercise music -- has 1,441,931 views and counting. It's a clever marketing ploy, feeding right into the piracy culture of the interwebs and poking fun at the rick-rolling clickbait urgency.  Within moments of watching this rick-roll video, I recalled the 1985 romance-fitness club-meet cute that is Perfect , starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis . Then the idea clicked to replace Curtis with Pikachu and...well...you can just watch for yourself...
