But wouldn't the movie overshadow the trailer
I don't feel like repeating myself, so I'll just quote my previous post:
I still don't understand why people say that the Detective Pikachu movie is an "obstacle" for Sword/Shield. They're not competing franchises. They don't come from rivalling companies. They're from the same brand, from the same company... If anything, the movie is the opposite of an obstacle, since chances are it will draw even more attention to the Pokémon brand as a whole and, by extension, to the games as well.
Game Freak has absolutely no reason whatsoever to be afraid of the movie. For Arceus' sake, the movie is based on their IP. If anything, GF stands to gain from the movie and the attention it will garner.
