Soon the gang will be blessed by a special performance from the pop idol Azumarill, but upon her arrival, she's kidnapped by the flying Pokemon Skarmory! Pikachu, along with Plusle, Minun, Meowth, Wobbuffet and a number of other Pokemon must now track down the singing beauty; the show must go on! (Source: Anime-Planet)
Audience Consensus
The audience found the special to be a simple and enjoyable adventure, although the quality of art and sound was not up to par with the main series. The use of human voices for Pokemon was a significant detractor for some viewers. Overall, it seems to be a lighthearted side-story, not a major point of contention for the fanbase.
Strengths
- Brings the story to life nicely (despite limitations).
Weaknesses
- Voices of Pokémon spoken by humans are not well-received.
- Art and sound are not at the same level as the TV show or movies.
