The Hitch Hiker Review

Hitch-Hiker_poster

The Hitch Hiker is a movie that had a unique idea, but it wasn’t handled the best way possible. Two guys are heading out to go fishing, but they pick up a hitch hiker on the road. He turns out to be evil and he’s got a gun. None of the two are brave enough to try anything and they must do everything that he says. Can they get enough nerve to do something or will they die!?

Well, the two main characters are very frustrating to watch. They let slip over 100 chances that they could have used to escape. Sure, seeing a gun can be unnerving, but there are two of them and one of him. If they both rushed him, they would have done just fine. Not to mention that if they quickly tackled him when he wasn’t expecting him, he’d only be able to get off one shot. It’s a risk that they definitely should have taken. It’s better to die on your feet than to die on your knees after all. Now some would argue that it was better to just go along with the guy and hope that he doesn’t destroy you, but not in this case. He tells them multiple times that he is going to destroy them when he’s good and ready. So, either way they’re going to die. Might as well put up a fight before you go down right?

The film is pretty short and it’s barely over an hour, but it drags on a bit. It’s really just them in the car and making little stops for the whole time. The police get involved and show why they’re the best in the biz, but I would have liked to see them appear a little more. There’s also a very unneeded scene where a dog dies and that definitely took some points away from the film. Animal violence in any film is pretty sad and always unneeded. That’s why real films like (The Avengers and Man of Steel) don’t resort to such things.

Overall, if you want to watch a movie about the good ole times before cell phones, then maybe give this one a shot, but to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend it. You’d be better off checking out the legendary Twilight Zone series. This film may not have been the best, but at least the cops finally got their due respect.

Super Paper Mario Review

reply_card [Converted]

Paper Mario has always been a pretty solid spin off to the main Mario game series. They switched up the gameplay and also featured some pretty deep plots. They were a big step away from the casual Mario plots and I’d say that it was a good move to keep things fresh.

Super Paper Mario is a game that I’m pretty familiar with. A long time ago, I rented it from the library and was able to complete most of it. Unfortunately the game was due back before I could complete it and my Wii ended up breaking two to three years later. So it wasn’t until the other day, that I finally got to complete it.

This installment of the Paper Mario series changed the gameplay so that it was more like the traditional Mario games. I missed the turn based gameplay that the other games had, but this gameplay is still pretty fun. It’ll feel like you’re playing one of the retro Mario games, but you can also shift the gameplay into 3D temporarily. While in 3D, Mario will lose energy and eventually lose all of his health, so use this ability at your own risk. It is essential to shift to 3D throughout the game, so just keep an eye on your energy meter.

The plot involves Count Bleck attempting to use the legendary Chaos Heart to destroy all worlds. The only thing that can possibly stop him is the seven Pure Hearts. Mario and his new friend Tippi must gather them as quickly as possible before the Dark Void consumes everything. There is also a subplot involving Luigi. (Who foiled Count Bleck’s plans in the first place) Luigi looks pretty awesome in this game, but more on that later. Mario and Tippi must also locate Bowser and Peach because only the 4 legendary heroes teaming up can possibly stop Bleck and his group of…loyal followers. The best part of the story mode was when the villains would have a meeting. It was pretty epic and surprisingly intense for a Mario game. I definitely enjoyed each meeting and they felt like a true villain group. (Like the Espada, Spiders, or Akatsuki)

Mario makes for a pretty good protagonist and he never seems to back down from a fight. He’s definitely very brave and heroic, plus he gets the job done. Throughout the game people mention his mustache in a very positive light and it would appear that he may have one of the best mustaches of all time!

Luigi is the real star of this story and he performs better than Mario for a majority of the game. Not only is he the one to stop Count Bleck in the initial meetup, but his defense seems to be better than Mario’s. When the team are knocked out during the end of the game, Luigi wakes up before Mario. Luigi also takes on the powerful Dimentio and proves that he’s not to be messed with. Since Luigi can talk (unlike Mario) he steals all of the epic lines for himself. Unlike the main Mario games, Luigi is incredibly brave in this game and talks tough to all of the villains. Just about all of his lines are pretty epic.

Tippi was a pretty good helper to Mario, but I didn’t really care much for her back story. She talks to herself a lot, but luckily Mario and his friends never seem to notice. Otherwise she may have blown her cover a little too early. Princess Peach was a pretty solid character in this game and she’s tougher than you may have guessed. She can fight and doesn’t need anyone to save her for the most part. Bowser is as strong as always and he never fears the opponents. Next to Luigi, he definitely gives the villains the hardest time.

Mr. L is a mysterious figure who appears towards the end of the game. He bears a bit of a resemblance to Luigi, but we quickly dismiss the notion since Mario would probably have recognized him….right? He goes on to help Count Bleck and the gang, but he seems to have an ulterior motive. He’s very smart and he was even able to build a powerful machine known as the Brobot. Mr. L was easily the best villain in this game and he quickly stole the show with his epic lines and comebacks.

Count Bleck is the leader of the villains, but he’s not quite as interesting as the other characters. He gets some character development, but it’s pretty predictable (Once they start hinting at it) and he doesn’t strike me as a big villain. Once Mario and friends took him on, Count Bleck went down pretty quickly. His other minions O Chunks and Mimi were all right. O Chunks has some pretty impressive strength and he was actually keeping up with Bowser. Mimi has a very cool moment where she turns into a twisted spider like creature and terrorizes the heroes.

Dimentio is a pretty tricky villain and you can never guess what he’s thinking. He’s constantly goading the other villains into attacking Mario or hinting that he knows more than he’s letting on to Count Bleck. He can teleport around whenever he wishes and he was a pretty powerful opponent. His cube attack is deadly and he actually destroys several of the heroes…he DESTROYS them. Who knew that a Mario game would have so many fatalities. In one of the best scenes in the game, Dimentio and Mr. L have a climatic battle.

The soundtrack in this game is pretty good and I particularly like Count Bleck’s theme. It’s a fun piece to listen too and helps to elevate the anticipation to even greater levels. The final boss theme is also pretty exciting and I found the quiz theme to be catchy. Once again, Mario never disappoints with the music.

There is one thing that I wasn’t too fond of in this game. There was several puzzles and things to look for that just felt like time wasters. Locating the star pillars was a bit more work than it needed to be. It takes forever to walk across the town and look for them all. Of course, there weren’t too many of them so it’s not a huge negative. All right, there’s one more mildly negative thing in this game. They played up the romance a bit much towards the end and I don’t think that it was a needed subplot to add in this game.

Super Paper Mario was definitely a fun Mario game and it’s something that all Mario games should strive to be like. The plot was deep and there was a real sense of danger. The fatality count has never been so high and the fate of all planets was at stake. I’d definitely recommend this game to you gamers out there and it was pretty fun.

The Man of Steel Night of A Thousand Doomsdays Review

Another installment in the new Superman chapter book series. This one definitely has a lot more action than the others and some old characters like Lois Lane and the General appear. Superman sticks to his character for the most part except that he maybe acts a little nervous in some scenes.

Superman is flying around when he notices that a large alien invasion army is approaching earth. He flies in to check it out, but unfortunately they won’t leave peacefully. These aliens want Earth’s water and minerals. Superman quickly tells them that they can’t have it so they send in some grunts to take him out. Superman destroys one and notices that they are all Doomsday clones. Luckily they aren’t alive so he can go all out. Can Superman defeat all of these Doomsdays!? It seems unlikely until Doomsday joins the fray.

Superman looked pretty good as always, but I didn’t like how he was captured. This is Superman we’re talking about after all. The red sun can be tricky, but Superman’s too fast for any of that to work. I’m also skeptical as to how they kidnapped Doomsday. Doomsday looked pretty good once he broke free and he took out a large number of clones. Since his regeneration is better than Superman’s, he was able to recover pretty quickly. One scene that I didn’t like was when Doomsday was afraid of Superman. Sure Superman’s powerful, but Doomsday has no reason to fear him. They’re both about equal in power and he has regeneration. Not to mention that Superman was pretty weakened. Ah well, I guess he made the right call in leaving.

On the earth side of things, the military prepares to take down the Doomsday clones. The army does all right and they look decently good, but the dialogue between Superman and Lois felt a little robotic. He felt like he was reminding the audience about who she was with his extended monologue.

Overall, this was probably the best Superman chapter book so far and it had a lot of action. Doomsday looked pretty good for the most part and Superman stayed tough through thick and thin. Saving the earth can be pretty tricky, but Superman is always up for the challenge. I’d recommend this to comic readers and good ole fashioned Superman fans.

The Man of Steel The Moon Bandits Review

awers
Superman is back in his next adventure! While Superman has many comics and TV appearances, he hasn’t gotten to appear in many books. This series is quickly changing that and is helping Superman to become more of a prominent figure again. The plot makes for an interesting read.

Superman is attacked by a Lexcorp employee whose armor makes him 1000X stronger. That’s a pretty big power boost and the guy actually gives Superman a decent battle. After Superman defeats the robot, he stops a large tidal wave from hitting the area. He finds out that living machines are taking away the moon and transporting it to their planet. Superman can’t let them do such a thing and he heads off to stop them.

Well, it’s an interesting beginning to the story and Superman has an epic battle with them. The only problem is…it’s a little hard to believe. Superman should have no problem dealing with these guys, but they actually beat him up pretty badly for the most part. We are reminded of Superman’s speed twice and it’s how he wins both of his major battles. The other JLA members are mentioned, but they are too busy defending their cities from tidal waves to save the earth. It was an interesting excuse, but I think they could have come to help. Maybe they just figured that Superman wouldn’t need their help, which is a pretty valid excuse. Lex nearly gets the last laugh in this book, but we all know that Superman has to get the last word in.

Overall, it was a pretty good depiction of Superman and the DC universe. The book was pretty short, but quality always defeats quantity. It’s good to see the DCAU art back and it’s a good homage to the 90’s show. I’d recommend this fun read to Superman fans everywhere.

Yugioh World Championship 2010 Reverse of Arcadia Review

ygo_5Ds_wc2010_-_reverse_of_arcadia_box_us

The World Championship titles have always been my personal favorite series from the Yugioh franchise. They are always pretty fun and there are many duels to be had. This is one of the few games in the series to actually have a concrete story mode which just makes the game all the better!

The game revolves around a kid named Terry (At least in my version!) who used to be pals with Yusei and the Enforcers. After that, he went on to become one of Sayer’s Arcadia grunts. Terry would never do such a thing willingly so they brainwashed him. Terry’s mind is too strong to be controlled for long so he starts to resist and gains back some of his memories. Will he gain all of his memories back and help the heroes save the day!? Or will he stay a villain forever?

Terry is a pretty solid protagonist and he’s definitely one of the better characters in the game. He isn’t afraid of anybody and he’s a very powerful duelist. He has no equal when it comes to dueling and not even Yusei or Director Goodwin could stop him. In the game Terry is unbeatable and there is literally no duelist who can take him down. Not to mention that Terry also has the best duel runner in the world (As it would seem anyway)

Yusei is a pretty good character, but he is never able to back up his tough talk. His Duel Runner also tends to break down at the worst times. Still, Yusei will never abandon a friend and he’s much more noble than most of today’s main characters. They could certainly learn a thing or two from Yusei.

Jack Atlas is a top notch duelist in his own right as well and he always gives it his all. He’s the only signer who is able to defeat his dark counterpart without Terry’s help. He’s also a pretty solid character and I don’t see why you wouldn’t like him. For the most part, he’s a dependable hero who gets the job done. (Of course none of the heroes were as fast as Terry and ended up missing part of the final battle)

Akiza is another signer and possibly the strongest. In a duel Yusei or Jack could probably defeat Akiza, but in a physical fight, she would definitely win. Akiza has psychic powers and she is very skilled at using them. Akiza has her share of evil moments and definitely does a lot of damage, but in the end she proves that she’s a hero.

Leo and Luna are the final main characters. Leo doesn’t really do anything for the entire battle and he’s way out of his league. He doesn’t get the mark of the signer and he’s not a really good duelist. Luna does all right as well, but her dueling abilities aren’t as good as the other signers. You can blame this on the fact that she’s still a kid.

The Dark Signers make for pretty good antagonists and they’re pretty mysterious. Kallen was definitely the best Dark Signer, but Rex Goodwin was also pretty good. Director Goodwin tricked most of the main cast for the majority of the game which earns him some points. With his sheer muscle power, he could probably have defeated them in a hand to hand fight if it had come down to that.

One thing that I wasn’t crazy about in this game was that they got rid of the traditional championship mode. In the other games, there were tiers where you would beat the other characters on the tier to unlock the next one. It was a very fun way to duel and advance through the rankings. I guess Story Mode was a good replacement, but I still miss that part.

The gameplay is as great as always and you’ll never get tired of dueling. It’s pretty fast paced and you’ll find yourself in a lot of tight situations. The computer’s AI is pretty good as well. This game also features Duel Runner races which are very fun. Once you’ve got a nicely customized Duel Runner, you’ll be ready to tackle anything! There are also turbo duels which are basically a mix of the two. I think it would be fun to control the duel runner while dueling, but maybe for a sequel.

Overall, this is another solid installment to the franchise and I highly recommend it to gamers everywhere. You won’t find this intense action in many games and the cast is easily one of the better ones. I know that I’ll be picking up the sequel at some point (And you can expect a review), but until then at least I have this game to pass the time by. There is always more to do in a Yugioh game and this one has a Lot of replay value. There are many more duelists to beat and races to conquer after all.

G Man Volume 1 Learning How To Fly Review

g-man-vol-1-learning-to-fly-tpb

I’ve only read one G Man comic in the past, so checking out the first trade paperback would be a good way to truly check out the series. While the comic mixes comedy with action, it does a much better job than Tiny Titans and even the Incredibles. The comic is definitely a blast to read and the cast is already pretty solid.

The plot begins with Mikey learning how to fly. It’s a tough job, but in the end he finds his magical cape and learns that flying’s a piece of cake. His brother Dave manages to get a piece of the cape and turns it into a belt. Both of them can fly and they get stronger after each battle. The magical cape builds up an immunity so that no attack will work on them twice. It’s definitely a pretty handy tool to have, but they haven’t gotten into many fights yet. The ploy changes a little as they get to meet alternate versions of themselves and the fate of many universes hang in the balance. It was all very climatic, but the ending may surprise some readers.

G Man (Mikey’s new superhero name) is a pretty solid protagonist and he’s not afraid to stand up for what’s right. Once he’s got an idea, he always makes sure to stand by it. He’s currently the best character of the series and he even switched his costume at one point. (Superboy Prime style!)

Great Man (Dave’s new name) is also pretty solid and he’s the 2nd best character in the comic. He’s quicker to fight and he’s not as lenient as G Man. So when Kid Thunder attacked him, Great Man just took him down. He doesn’t let any character mess with him and he’s also pretty tricky.

G Man has some friends like Billy Demon and Sparky. Sparky’s pretty fast, but he hasn’t gotten that much screentime yet so it’s a little early to judge him. Billy Demon is also an average character and I wouldn’t say that I’m a fan. Mr. G is one of the better characters in this comic and he makes sure that everyone stays off of his lawn. Thunderman is one of the big heroes of the city, but I can’t say that I’m impressed. I’ll be waiting for him to take on some opponents at some point.

This comic was definitely a nice start to the series and it may be just the beginning! This comic series could grow up to be one of the bigger ones. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what they do in the next graphic novel. Naturally I recommend this comic to all comic fans, or just anyone who likes to read a fun comic once in a while.

La Corda D Oro Review

3400-1

La Corda D Oro is a pretty unique series. The plot revolves around a girl named Kohoko. She meets up with a fairy who can only be seen by a select few who can help to bring music back into its golden age. The fairy tells her that she must inspire people with her music and gives her a magical violin. With it, she can play excellently as long as she is one with the music..in a way. Along the way, she realizes the true value of music and why it’s a necessary part of everyday life.

Kahoko isn’t the only character who’s deeply interested in music. Once she joins the music world, she runs into Len, Ryotaro, and others. Winning the contests may be easy with her magical violin, but what happens when it starts to break down? Will Kahoko be able to master the violin or is all hope lost!?

This is one series where I can’t say that I really like any of the characters, but they aren’t awful. Kahoko is a pretty cheerful character, but she doubts herself a lot and by the end of the series, her music skills never become extraordinary. Technically that’s realistic since she just started playing the instrument, but it is pretty disappointing. By the end of the series, she definitely has a long way to go. The fairy helps her less and less as the series goes on and he basically disappears by the end. Kahoko is one of only two Gen Ed (General Education or basically normal school) characters who is able to practice and compete alongside the music school kids.

Len is known as one of the greatest musicians around. Like Kahoko, he also uses the violin. If Kahoko is cheerful and only average at the violin, he’s the exact opposite. He’s pretty silent and he also tends to be pretty rude. He doesn’t usually mean it, but he doesn’t know how to interact well with others. He mastered the violin a long time ago and his skills are unparalleled. Later on, he even leaves the city so that he can further his skills and rise to the next level. He starts to warm up to the others by the end and maybe even learns that friendship can be a good thing. Of course, he has to leave at the end which may make him regress a bit.

Ryotaro is the other Gen Ed student who manages to make it into the big leagues. He misses out on most of the first volumes as a musician. At first he just wants to stick to sports, but Kahoko helps him realize that music is one of the most important hobbies ever. That’s basically what happens; At any rate, Ryotaro uses the piano in his performances. He’s pretty good and he actually competes with Len a lot. He never ends up surpassing him, but he definitely gave Len a good fight. Ryotaro’s one of the happier members and he’s usually pretty upbeat.

Azuma is one of the musicians that you will find yourself disliking pretty quickly. He’s rich and pretty good at the flute. While he appears to be a very nice and polite guy to the general audience, he actually harbors a dark side as well. He’s pretty rude to Kahoko for the entire series, but unfortunately nobody ever notices. Later on he must decide between sticking to music or furthering his education. (I wonder which one he’ll pick…)

Keiichi is another music student who plays the cello. He doesn’t get as much of a role as the other members and he mostly enjoys sleeping. He’s decently good at music and he tends to do pretty good. He’s overshadowed by the other members, but he’s an all right character. Finally, we have Kazuki and Shouko, but there’s no reason to go too in depth with them. Kazuki is also a pretty happy guy who plays the trumpet. He’s all right at best, but next to Kahoko he may be the worst musician. His personality doesn’t really change that much and he never notices that his best friend (Azuma) has a dark side even though it’s fairly obvious. Shouko plays the clarinet, but that’s about all I can say about her. She’s very quiet and rarely talks to gets any character development.

The art for the series is decently good and the pacing is all right. There isn’t an overabundance of romance, but a bit more than is necessary. If they had cut the whole romance subplot out of the way and just kept it to music playing, this may have risen to a higher score. As it is, I’d recommend it to Shojo fans or people who really enjoy music. I thought the manga was all right and one of the better Shojo’s that I read.

Marvel Adventures Spiderman and The Avengers Review

Posted on by
Reply

9780785133230_p0_v1_s260x420

Marvel Adventures are basically kid friendly comics that are suitable for all ages. This one brings together a couple of comics that all have their own unique plots so I’ll talk about each one of them in turn and then wrap it all up at the end. One thing you should know is that the title is pretty misleading since Spiderman doesn’t get a huge role.

The first story deals with a Super Dog that has escaped from shield and may be heading over to the villanous Leader. The Leader is a pretty smart guy, so if he obtained the dog (And the vast amounts of knowledge that he possesses) Shield could be in a lot of trouble. Luckily She Hulk, Tigra, and Spiderman are around to help save the day. It’s an all right comic and there’s a brief action scene, but the art looks pretty bad. Spiderman and pals also don’t really look that impressive and they’re lucky that they outnumbered the Leader.

Another story was about Hawkeye and the Blonde Phantom. They had to stop the Banner Bandits from scaring people and getting away with stolen money. They messed up pretty badly the first time, but eventually they get a rematch. The story was all right, but definitely not that exciting and once again the art wasn’t that good.

The next story was easily the worst and it was about the Hulk and Tigra. They won an award, but when they attended the ceremonies..Mysterio attacked! With his illusions, he actually made things close and if not for Tigra’s singing, all could have been lose. There was never a sense of danger in this comic and the art was the worst by far.

Finally, the last story featured Spider Woman, Giant Girl, and the Beast. They had to solve a mystery of what happened to Hercules. Well, the story starts off on an “epic” note as you wonder who could have defeated Hercules, but the more the mystery unfolds, the more you realize that it wasn’t that impressive. Nobody really defeated Hercules and the anti climatic battle is just a little scuffle against Hydra.

I’d say that this comic was only barely good and definitely not as fun as most of the marvel comics out there. The art definitely held it back a lot and the dialogue was a little too kiddy. The fight scenes were all right, but they were scarce and pretty short. If you are really desperate to read a marvel comic, then this one is all right. Of course, I’d otherwise recommend checking out a real marvel comic like X Sanction.

Green Lantern Guardian of Earth Review

P9781434230812

This ultimately short chapter book retells the story of how Hal Jordan became a Green Lantern. The origin has been adapted many times, but it’s the first time that I’ve come across it in book format. Hal Jordan uses a lot of the ring’s abilities by chance and it makes you wonder how he instinctively knew to use them all.

While the ring does seem extremely easy to use, it’s still a pretty useful tool to have in battle. Hal Jordan is a decent main character, but his personality is never fully explored. He handled the plane situation decently, but he definitely gave Abin Sur a hard time. Even if he doesn’t believe in aliens, he could still humor the old fellow.

Sinestro gets a small appearance and he looks alright. He gives Hal a decent fight and proves that the ring is more dangerous than we had thought! Hal suspects that something isn’t right, but he plays along anyway. The book takes about 10 minutes to read, which is why this review is pretty short. If you like DC comic stories or just like looking at cool art, I’d recommend this book.

Pokemon Kyurem vs The Sword of Justice Review

b8fb1aa63cdb855f183ab989b079aa1f
There have been many Pokemon films over the years. There are usually one volume manga that go along with each movie. They are basically written adaptions of the films that they cover. This manga retells the events of the latest Pokemon film, but I will still be judging it as if it were an original story.

The manga starts off with Keldeo challenging the mighty Kyurem. Things don’t end well and the legendary Swords of Justice are forced to intervene. Later on, Ash and friends have fun buying boxed lunches and having a grand time. Pikachu is the only one quick enough to notice a damaged Keldeo on the train, but Ash and friends are quick to come to his aid. Things get dangerous when Kyurem follows them and starts a battle. Will Keldeo prove himself worthy and defeat Kyurem?

First off, let’s talk about Ash Ketchum, the legendary trainer from Pallet Town. He’s battled many powerful enemies in the past and his Pikachu should be one of the strongest beings on the planet at this point. Unfortunately Ash never shows this as he spends the entire volume getting beaten up. Ash and Pikachu don’t provide any threat to Kyurem and actually perform worse than Keldeo. Ash also doesn’t act brave in this volume and seems to be scared of Kyurem. Kyurem is tough, but Ash has dealt with Mewtwo and Gary, so he should be prepared at this point. When it’s all on the line for Ash to free some pokemon, he is unable to rise to the occasion. Ash is definitely not a really likable character in this volume and I’d recommend checking out other titles if you’re just reading the volume to see how cool he is.

His friends, Cilan and Iris are alright at best. Cilan seems to always be thinking about food and he doesn’t really take the situation seriously. I don’t think he would be my first choice if I needed a partner to go fight a legendary pokemon with. Iris knows a lot about Dragon pokemon, but she can’t seem to make up her mind. At first she claims that Kyurem is the strongest dragon type pokemon on earth! Later on she says that he is one of the strongest dragon type pokemon. That’s a pretty key difference, but aside from that she was alright. She took things a little more seriously, but she never got to take on Kyurem. Actually, compared to his friends I’d say that Ash was a pretty good character in this story.

Keldeo is arguably the main character of this adventure. He quickly learns that to truly become a Sword of Justice, he’ll need strength of character and the guts to accept defeat. He has a pretty climatic battle with Kyurem and I’d say that he was an alright character. I’m not a huge fan of the design (It wrecked some of his serious moments) but when the going got tough, Keldeo stepped up to the plate.

There was no Team Rocket in this story, but Kyurem took their place as the main villain. He definitely stole the show in this manga and all of his lines were pretty intense. He effortlessly takes down fighter after fighter and it seemed like nobody could stand up to him. The Swords of Justice couldn’t endure his power, Ash was frightened by his strength, and Keldeo lacked the experience needed to take him out. I’m glad that Kyurem could talk in human language, proving that he is one of the smarter pokemon. He has two different combat forms and both of them are definitely cool. Seeing as how he can fire off giant energy blasts, fly at super speeds, and freeze everything that he comes near; he’s definitely one of the toughest pokemon that Ash and friends have come up against.

This was definitely one of the better movie tie-ins to the Pokemon franchise. The art was pretty solid and while the comic relief could be a little off putting, the fight scenes came out strong. It is a fun Pokemon adventure and I’d definitely recommend it to Pokemon fans everywhere. Non pokemon fans will still get a kick out of it as well.
