Pikachu's Vacation was the first Pokémon Short. In this movie, Ash, Misty, and Brock go to a Pokémon Park. This park is only for Pokémon. So they let all of their Pokémon out to go and have fun. As soon as they are in the park, Togepi starts to cry. It was the first time without Misty. Pikachu and friends finally got her to stop crying. The sad thing is, a group of Pokémon are walking by and the leader, Snubbull, wake up Togepi. Pikachu runs over and yells at them. To settle the problem, they all decide on series of competitions to see who is better. Who will be the best?
I really like what they did with this. It helped the parents meat the Pokémon. It was really fun to see before the movie. The only thing scary was, I was there on opening night to see the movie, and when this one came on, there was a kid there who thought he really was a Pikachu!! Scary, oh well. Was a good job, and at the right time.
