>The movie starts with a full scale rendition of the original Pokemon theme song intro, remade with a few changes (removing Ash’s scenes for example). You heard a glimpse of it in the last trailer, same singer but slightly more rock oriented.
>Turns out it’s a commercial of sorts, that young Tim Goodman is watching as he gets ready to be a Pokemon trainer. His father Harry (not fully shown) gives him a Pikachu.
>Tim gets pretty far, but Pikachu fights a Charizard and is seemingly killed.
>10 years later, Harry is run off the road escaping a lab. Turns out, like the game, Mew is being tampered with for Pokemon gene modification and instead they start going berserk.
>Unlike the game, Pikachu actually is able to fight in this version. He starts off with no power (that scene where he says he cant do it when people are watching refers to him not having the ability to thundershock)
