My kids and I enjoy this app for something to do to keep us active and entertained at the same time. The kids seem to enjoy all the different types of Pokemon and get excited when we come across ones we haven't caught before. The only drawback I have is they always have the community days in the middle of the day on a weekend which is great for most people but I'd like to see them different days and different times.

Gotta catch em all! If you have both games and 2 gameboys!
my first introduction into the rpg format and games and one that I still play to this day, the story in the game keeps on engaged and playing, but the real beauty of the game is trying to catch all the pokemon, evolve them and level them up and creating a team worthy of beating the elite 4!

App Rating
I was very excited for this game when it was announced, I pre registered for what felt like forever. As soon as it was released I had it downloaded and ready to play.
This is where it started to go wrong. The game has not much to offer other than a link to the Harry Potter universe. The interactions with characters are minimal and magic can only be used when specified.
Overall I found this game to be a disappointment, especially when compared.to pokemon go.

Don't Try and Make Sense of it and You'll be Just Fine
With the aid of Detective Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds), Tim Goodman (Justice Smith) is on a mission to find out what happened to his missing father.

Acting: 10

Beginning: 6

Characters: 10
You can’t have a movie centered around Pokemon and not have a bevy of characters to behold. Detective Pikachu does not disappoint pushing the envelope of creativity with the number of characters involved. Every Pokemon you can think of shows up in some form or fashion. I was just happy seeing Jiggly Puff get a small bit of shine. Outside of Pikachu himself, I thought the mime Pokemon was a riot. Seeing him and Pikachu together was probably one of my favorite scenes.

Cinematography/Visuals: 9
I was actually pretty impressed with the visuals here. The film takes place over a number of cool settings, including an MMA-style ring with a raging dragon. The colors are vibrant and help bring each Pokemon to life. I appreciate the attention to detail with this movie trying to incorporate as many characters from the game as possible. No corners were cut here as the characters seem to look true to form.

Conflict: 9

Entertainment Value: 8
I dare you to watch this movie and not at least be entertained by some of the parts. Maybe the action could have been spaced out better to prevent lagging, but there was enough there to keep my attention. Between that and Pikachu cracking me up every few minutes, I was surprised by how little of an effort it was to watch this movie.

Memorability: 7
There are a few scenes that are done extremely well while others could have been left out. Probably what stands out the most to me in terms of memorability is here is a movie that was most likely supposed to fail. Yet, director Rob Letterman managed to prove over and over again that the project had legs. It’s not a movie that over saturates you with great moments, but there is enough of a framework to keep you happy.

Pace: 8

Plot: 1
If they had gotten this part right, I’m looking at the movie in a whole different light. The story was all over the place. It was way too jumbled, a hot mess. There is an objective, then there’s a side objective with all these cheats along the way. I finally just said, “Screw it, I’ll enjoy it for what it is. Not going to try and make sense of it.”

Resolution: 10
The ending almost made up for the shoddy plot. It’s cute and touching, very fitting considering the craziness Pikachu and Tim went through for the duration of the story. Happy with how things shook out.

Overall: 78
Sometimes it only takes one thing to keep a movie from greatness. In this case Pokemon: Detective Pikachu couldn’t stop tripping over itself with its awkward storyline. I still recommend it for one good watch.

You wanna be the VERY best?
Best video game movie I've had the privilege of seeing. Establishes its own story and universe while hinting at being associated with the animated movies. Only issue I had was in a few scenes, it felt like Justice Smith didn't know how to FEEL properly. Sounds weird, but you will see what I mean.

Fan of Pokemon? Go see it. Not a fan? Take your kids to go see it.

kills the battery on my phone quickly
This game keeps me motivated to get out of the house and get moving. It has helped me start exercising more, which is always a good thing. The only issue is how fast it kills the battery. I have to make sure my phone is fully charged before going out to play the game because if I want to listen to music while playing I won't get much of a walk in because of how fast my phone will die.
