Detective Pikachu Returns, the sequel to the 2016 Nintendo 3DS game, launches on October 6. It's a spin-off Pokemon title featuring a mystery-solving Pikachu and his friend Tim Goodman who lives in Ryme City. This time around, the pair seeks to get to the bottom of a jewel theft, and judging by trailers, they're in for a big adventure.
With the release date just around the corner, Nintendo is celebrating by offering Detective Pikachu Returns icon elements (https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/missions-and-rewards-icon-elements-inspired-by-the-detective-pikachu-returns-game-are-here-for-a-limited-time/). These can then be used to create custom user icons. The icon elements will come in waves, and first wave started yesterday and will run until October 5 at 5:59 PM PT. You can expect the next waves at the following times:
Wave 2: October 5 at 6:00 PM PT - October 12 at 5:59 PM PT
Wave 3: October 12 at 6:00 PM PT - October 19 at 5:59 PM PT
Wave 4: October 19 at 6:00 PM PT - October 26 at 5:59 PM PT

You'll find the rewards by turning on your Switch and heading to the Nintendo Switch Online icon. At this point, it's worth mentioning that you have to be subscribed to the service to redeem the rewards. Scroll to the "Missions & Rewards" tab and you'll find the various icon elements there.
You won't have to pay for these icon elements, but they aren't free either. Images cost 10 Platinum Points, while backgrounds and frames cost 5 Platinum Points. You earn Platinum Points (https://www.destructoid.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-earning-my-nintendo-points-quickly-and-easily/) by completing My Nintendo missions, which you can find here (https://my.nintendo.com/missions).
A spin-off with gameplay that deviates from mainline Pokemon titles may be what the franchise needs right now, as the latest DLC for Scarlet and Violet (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-the-teal-mask/)has failed to leave much of an impression on critics.
