Pokemon Confession

Confession: I was dreading the Pokémon movie. The craze for Pikachu his fellow critter friend Shaw been at an all-time high in. My house for quite some time.

5 Things You Need To Know Before Watching Detective Pikachu.

Fans have been waiting for a long time for a Pokémon movie. Detective Pikachu does not disappoint and Ryan Reynolds does an amazing job voicing Pikachu.  Even for this mom hoping the Pokémon craze in my world would die down I am ready to love my own Pokémon. They are all so cute and cool!

Do you need to be a die-hard fan to enjoy the movie? Absolutely not. Do you need to be a Pokemon geek to understand the movie? While it will fun for all fans, you do not have to be one to follow the movie.  Nevertheless,  here are 5 things that will enhance the story for you:

1. Pokeballs:

   • are devices used to capture Pokemon so you can become its trainer and play in the Pokemon battles.

2. Pokemon battles:

   • a competition in which each Pokemon uses its special abilities to beat an opponent.  Different levels and Pokemon types can be paired up for battles.

3. Pokémon’s evolve

   • Pokemon critters can change and level up within their own species.  This makes them more powerful

4. Pokémon types:

   • the different types give each Pokemon a specific ability.  They can be psychic, grass, water, fire, steel, rock, ground, bug, dragon, and even dual type. Grass-types use petal blizzard or leaf blade moves to overpower an opponent.

5. Pokémon’s are paired to trainers:

   • Pokemon and trainers develop a special bond.   Pokemon characters learn how to develop their skills thanks to their trainers which enable them to win in the famous Pokemon battles.
