It has a similar plot to the movie, so it is fun to get to play what you\nsee in the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite\nscene in this movie is one where Pikachu is very sad and starts singing some\nshort pieces of the Pok\u00e9mon theme song as he walks away from Tim, acting\ndepressed. I like this scene because the way that Pikachu sings it is\nhilarious. Another good scene is when Tim, Detective Pikachu, Lucy Stevens\n(Kathryn Newton) a journalist, and her Psyduck are running away from some\nGreninjas and Psyduck gets a headache. This is very dangerous because his head\ncould explode. I like this scene because it is full of action and the way\nPikachu gives Psyduck a headache is hilarious. My favorite character in this\nmovie is Detective Pikachu because he makes a lot of great jokes about other\nPok\u00e9mon and his obsession with coffee. His humor is sarcastic and dry, but he\nis also cute and fluffy. This contrast is very amusing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message\nof this movie is that you should stay loyal to your friends and trust them.\nThere is also a strong storyline about the relationships between father and\nson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate this\nmovie 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to18 because younger\nchildren may not understand the storyline. It opens in theaters May 10, 2019 so\nlook for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened.
