Brief Synopsis (Minimal Spoilers)

One day, his path mysteriously crosses that of Pikachu who believes Tim's father to be alive. As the plot continues to unfold you find out there is an air of mystery behind Tim's father's death. Is he really? Tune in and find out!



Thoughts

I enjoyed seeing a lot of the Pokemon on screen! I also enjoyed that you saw some of them in their evolved stage. Pretty slow beginning but picks up after you meet Pikachu. It begins to slow down again (in plot development) but picks up again. I enjoyed the noir style setting and feel at points. The humor was decent. Casting was okay. Overall not half bad.


Final rating: 7/10
