I have to say that I am not impressed it seems like an exact copy of the version before it, and pikachu has a birth defect or something, pokemon yellow was better for pikachu, pikachu does not follow you in this game, a good thing, the game editor was probably too embarrassed to have pikachu fallow behind ash, which I have to say Ash is done very well I have no complaints their. The game has many details similar to the first season of pokemon, if you take the time to read through the dialog if you have seen the first season of pokemon you will notice many similarities, but Brock, and misty don't join you as a team, because of programming limits. You can lose pokemon battles ash won in the movie and you can win battles ash lost, but when you battle Brock you will most likely lose the first time then you will meet a person who will supercharge pikachu, and you can defeat Brock, but before you defeat onix you will stop because of brocks little brothers and sisters, and misty and her bicycle, team rocket and the missing vacuum, pikachu refuses to battle misty (you have to put pikachu into the PC ounce again because of programming limits, you get the idea. Overall I think they could do better with pikachu, but the game is worth playing at least one time
