Directed by Rob Letterman. With Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Bill Nighy. In a world where people collect Pokémon to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent talking Pikachu who seeks to be a detective.

I was absolutely blown away by this movie. I’ve only played a single Pokemon game, and that was Pokemon Go, which isn’t really like any of the other pokemon games from my understanding. Having not played the games, I was still able to recognize a huge number of the pokemon in the movie and could appreciate how perfect the cgi for them was. I highly recommend checking this out, even if you’re like me and just have a passing familiarity with the franchise.
