What Mini Movie Is On Pokemon The Third Movie

Okay, let's talk Pokemon The Movie 3. We all remember the feels, right? Entei, Molly Hale, the Unown... But what about that little appetizer before the main course?

The Pikachu Short: A Crucial Question

I'm talking about the Pikachu short! Every Pokemon movie had one. This time it's *Pikachu & Pichu*. But here's the big question. Is it any good?

My Unpopular Opinion: It's... Fine?

Brace yourselves. I'm not entirely convinced it's the best. Hear me out before you unleash a *Thunderbolt*!

Look, it's cute. Pikachu makes friends with the *Pichu Brothers*. They get into some harmless mischief in the city. Standard Pokemon short fare, basically.

But does it reach the heights of some of the others? Nah. Not for me. I know, I know, blasphemy!

The Short's Plot (or Lack Thereof)

Let's break it down. Pikachu's hanging out. The *Pichu Brothers* show up. They wanna play. Mild chaos ensues. Jigglypuff gets involved, naturally. It is what it is.

They end up breaking a swing on a playground. They try to fix it. Things go wrong in the most adorable way possible. It has the same vibes as those early 2000s commercials.

Eventually, everyone bands together to build a whole new playground. Friendship wins! Cue the happy music. Roll credits.

Missing Ingredient: The Feels

Here's what I think it's missing: Emotion. The best Pokemon shorts tug at your heartstrings. Remember *Pikachu's Rescue Adventure*? Now that's a tearjerker!

This one? It's mostly just... fun. Which is fine! But I want more from my pre-movie entertainment. Give me a reason to grab a tissue!

It’s a sweet story. Pikachu is Pikachu. But compared to the others, it isn't as memorable.

So, What's the Verdict?

Don't get me wrong. *Pikachu & Pichu* isn't *bad*. It’s a perfectly acceptable, slightly chaotic, and undeniably cute way to kill some time before the main movie.

It just doesn't have that special *something*. That spark of magic that makes you want to watch it again and again. It isn’t the *Best Wishes* short.

Maybe it's because the *Pichu Brothers* are a bit too... generic? Maybe it’s Jigglypuff’s randomness. Or maybe I’m just a grumpy old *Snorlax* who needs a nap.

Am I Alone in This?

Tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way! Does anyone else think this short is just... okay?

Or am I doomed to be the outcast, forever shunned by the Pokemon fandom? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Because at the end of the day, it’s all about the shared love of *Pokemon*. And maybe admitting that some things are just… not as great as others.

“Gotta Catch 'Em All... Except Maybe This Short? Just Kidding! (Mostly.)”

So, next time you watch Pokemon The Movie 3, give the Pikachu short a shot. You might love it! But if you don't, well, at least you have *Entei* to look forward to.
